The Fashion Police:
Beauty Product Review: Crème de La Mer
“Well, I used it for just over a month, and while my skin is undeniably softer, it’s hard to know whether this is due to the Crème de la Mer, or to the additional water I’ve been trying to drink lately. Even if it is all down to the cream, it’s not so much softer that I’d be willing to spend £500 on it."

User Reviews
"The texture of the cream is very thick and even when I warm the cream in between my fingers, it’s still quite thick and difficult to apply on my skin. However, after the cream is applied, it has good staying power. I can feel the moisturizing affect on my dry, sensitive skin. My skin is very proned to dehydration and CDLM helps protect my skin from dehydrating. Good firming action as well. It leaves a slight shine so is more suitable as a night cream. CDLM may not be for everyone but it certainly suits my skin type."

FabSugar:
La Mer is La Crème de La Crème
“The texture and appearance of your skin dramatically change into something softer, smoother, firmer, and aging lines and pores are noticeably less visible. Even the application is special.”

Product Review: La Mer
“It turns out that Creme de la Mer was, and still is, almost exclusively water, thickening agents, and some algae. But this miracle product wasn’t enough, at least not for the Lauder company, which was selling a lot of product and clearly understood that, in the world of skin care, if one product sounds good women will buy other unrelated products that carry the same name.”

 
Skinplistic Editor’s Review:
Review: Crème de La Mer 
"The “Miracle Broth” is the primary component in La Mer’s Crème and other products now available from the line.  Basically you are spending $195 for sea kelp, citrus, eucalyptus, alfalfa, calcium, iron, vitamin C, E and b-12 and a whole lot of press!"

Advantages: Dramatically repairs dry skin instantly.  With repeated use, your skin attains a very healthy and supple complexion.

Disadvantages: The Crème is extremely dense.  You cannot just apply, it takes work. It may cause breakouts or clog your pores.

Conclusions: While the condition of your skin does improve, the cost is a bit high for a product that simply alleviates dry skin.
