Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testRenewing moisture meets radiant rejuvenation. Discover the La Mer moisturiser that started it all. At first touch sensitivities look soothed. Dryness seems to disappear. And with daily devotion skin feels firmer lines and wrinkles appear diminished and a more uplifted rejuvenated look emerges.
Crème De La Mer Moisturizing Cream is a cushioning cream from LA MER. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 43 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Algae Extract, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Algae Extract and Petrolatum.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Benzyl Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate and Algae Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
