La Mer

[miloo]

Hi Sisses!

Any feedback for Creme De La Mer (Moisturizing Cream)?

I'm getting frustrated already with my skin. Ang facials kasi abroad are so expensive and not that effective kasi they only do cleansing, exfoliating, toning and mask which i can DIY. They don't prick whiteheads, pimples, etc.

Who has tried this product? Effective ba siya talaga like makes the skin glow and clears it?
Super mahal kasi $150 for 1oz.!!

I want to make sure sulit sa price before I buy it

Hi miloo, I am using La Mer skin care products now, well for a few days pa lang and so far I like the results naman.

For the Creme De La Mer naman it's really effective for people who have dry skin, esp kung nasa malamig na lugar. ito gamit ng mom ko and her skin is amazing! i mean no wrinkles and dry patches.

I have a combi skin, so what i do is i put creme de la mer lang sa dry areas and it's really effective naman at wala syang ingridients na nakakapag stimulate ng oil glands ko sa tzone.

I am also using La Mer The Radiant Infusion + The Radiant Serum para maimprove appearance ng pores ko sa cheeks near my nose, and the Cleansing Gel to remove excess sebum and i love the fragrance nito. so far nakaka glow naman siya and yun ang gusto ko maachieve as well as makaimprove ng appearance ng pores. ngayon i m trying their eye concentrate kasi super dark and under eyes ko, as in dami ko ng natry na ibang cremes at walang effect, with la mer i think nag lighten ang dark under eyes ko, hindi na mahirap i-hide using concealer. siguro icontinue ko lang to and let's see kung hangang saan kaya nyang improve. i'm not expecting na maremove nya totally yung dark under eyes ko.

sis, depende rin sa need ng skin mo baka hindi lang creme de la mer ang need mo.

^Sis baka you need to see a Dermatologist for your skin?
I tried La Mer sa airport. I wasn't impressed. Parang ordinary lang.
I just tested it once. So I can't verify for the claims.

Thank you for the feedback Quin Bee and sakura_bloom!

I will go to a dermatologist muna to clear my skin then for maintenance nalang siguro yung cream 

[amelia_eyeheart]

seriously. what is with this brand? will it make us look like elizabeth taylor? grabe lang ang price akala mo naman. natatawa na lang ako sa sinumang bibili nito. but i do know some people who use this when there are occasions such as weddings. but everyday? di bale sana kung ang effect extraordinary

[Quin Bee]

amelia_eyeheart, me naman sis I have a quest to make my pores smaller, kaya kung [textspeak!]-ano tinatry ko, kahit may kaunting kamahalan, wala pa kasi akong super HG na skin care regimen, and medyo late bloomer ako sa skin care. Iniisip ko, na hindi na eeffect sa aking ging skin ang mga 'cheaper' brands eh baka masayang ang money ko kakabili, so I opted to try non-drug store brands nalang to get a more desirable results sana.

[glamorous_aisha]

you can't see the effects of any skincare products by using it once lang so i think kung for special occasions lang gagamitin di mo din makikita effect.

it's personal preferences lang may mga tao lang talagang hindi hiyang sa cheaper brands. I use either cheap or high end depending sa effect sa skin ko. But my aunt uses La Mer for a long time na and i can say it really works for her, she's 52 now but she still looks like a 30. and la mer cream lang talaga ginagamit niya no other regimen. never pa siyang nagpa-facial.

[Quin Bee]

glamorous_aisha, mom ko din! She's 52 din now and her skin is amazing, no wrinkles and very few fine lines lang, mas mukha pa akong matanda compared to her. Me naman sis, ang iniisip ko nalang ay baka masayang ang money ko sa kakatry ng cheaper brands tapos hindi din naman tatalab sa akin. Actually, kung papipiliin ako mas gusto ko syempre yung affordable lang and available everywhere kaso syempre iba yung skin ko eh, hindi kasing ganda tulad ng iba na okay lang kahit ano ang gamitin. Unfortunately, for me kailangan kong gumastos.

[glamorous_aisha]

^may mga maswerte talaga sis na kahit anung products hiyang sa kanila. ako hanggang ngayon testing stage. la pa kong HG products. tried high end to cheap products. depende talaga eh. haha. or madali lang din siguro ko mainip at ma-immune sa products. gusto ko talaga i-try tong La Mer if it will replace all my products naman. 

[Quin Bee]

^ same! nasa testing stage din ako. iba din skin ko, ang dali ma-immune sobra. yung human heart nature na elemi and orange balancing facial wash and toner, sobrang ganda sa akin during the first month of use, naging radiant, supple, no oiliness or minimal lang at ang bright ng face ko, tas nung bumili na ako ng second set...wala ng effect at reverse lahat, nagkapimple, nangitim, oily na. hay nakakaloka kasi akala ko natagpuan ko na yung afforable product for my skin, hindi pala or siguro after a few months okay na ulit siya for my skin idk. i've read somewhere na sa mga ganitong skin na mabilis maimmune, dapat daw iba ang skin care regimen sa day, iba din sa night. good luck sis, balitaan mo ako kung may magandang product ka na naitry ha. share pls... thanks! ay have you heard of the SKII and Sensei? maganda din daw yun, anyway another topic na pala ito. sorry miss thread starter.

Personally, i think great skin has more to do with genetics and general lifestyle, than anything. Good skin care is supplementary and also helps up to a point. My mom is 54 years old, she has good skin and has used only eskinol all her life. Lately lang siya gumagamit ng Olay. My lola is the the same, no visible wrinkles at 70+, only some pigmentation here and there, pero tight pa din ang skin niya. She only uses whatever soap to wash her face and nothing else.

I've been curious to try La Mer but I'm quite hesitant with the price. I don't think I can pay that much for a moisturizer, which is exactly what it is. I do think it can benefit dry skin, as most high rated reviews come from people with dry skin, but other than moisturizing I don't really think it can do much. I guess I already know too much about skincare and ingredients that the hype isn't convincing me at all.

[Quin Bee]

^ yes, swerte talaga yung may mga genes na heathy and great skin na hindi na need gumastos. 

[penguinmichi]

i think super expensive niya... pero kung yan lang siguro gagamitin mo at wala kang "other treatments" na gagamitin eh okay na rin..

i think mas okay yung masanay ang face natin sa simpleng brand lang na kaya ng bulsa pero effective.. saka siguro healthy lifestyle na lang and lots of water and exercise

pero maybe okay ang product na ito.. i actually dont know kasi hindi ko pa natry.. kasi nasa Pilipinas tayo and iniisip ko baka maging mantika muka ko? oily kasi ako hehe..

pero i saw Instagram of Liz uy ginagamit niya yan

[glamorous_aisha]

^oo nga sis kung un lang naman gagamitin mo at wala ng ibang treatments same price lang, buti nga sa pinas mura skin treatments kaya pag-umuuwi ako buong araw ako sa spa at facial salons. haha.

Well, i don't really know kung magwowork ang La mer for tropical countries. baka nga magmantika lang mukha ng gagamit unless super dry skin siguro. 

[penguinmichi]

^ agree sis.. yung lang kinaka worry ko baka naman kasi magmantika ang muka ko instead na gumanda eh magkapimples pa hehe.. pero meron ba sila for oily skin na ganyan?

[aquacharly]

^ there is the new light moisturizer  for  combination skin - The Moisturizing Soft Cream.
IMO, the pollution in MMla is so bad, the skin needs more than ordinary skin products.

When my skin got so bad, I went to Cathy Valencia & used her products. But the drawback is -- her creams require refrigeration, and ang dami required -- 8 different types.  When I travel -- I pack these in an insulated bag with ice packs.  Pag dating sa US or Europe -- must transfer to a ref ASAP.  After 2 years, ayoko na.  And, my face was getting unnaturally smooth. 

So, I went back to La Mer.   Pricey but sure maintains my skin. But you need to do it for 6 weeks before you see marked results.  Am  happy with my La Mer products. The eye cream has removed my under-eye dark circles. 
I use the cleanser, the eye cream & that light moisturizer. But when I go to places that are cold & windy, I use the original moisturizer. 

[Quin Bee]

^ me too! my dark under eye circles actually lighten! will repurchase the eye concentrate again. 

[glamorous_aisha]

isa lang po ba eye cream ng La Mer? i really need something work on my eyebags.

[bitt3rswit]

Natetemp akong bilhin yung moisturizer. I have dry skin kasi. Ipapalit ko sana sa M2 moisturizer ko. Kaso grabe sa mahal!

[aquacharly]

GLAMOROUS AISHA. I use La Mer Eye Concentrate - Ewan Ko if there are others but that is what my La Mer  SA recommends.  But IMO, the best for reducing eyebags is Estée Lauder's Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator.

BITTERSW1T.  if your skin is dry -- best you stick to the original La Mer cream moisturizer.  I use this when I go somewhere it's wintertime.  Just make tipid using it, and use AM & PM -- it is worth the expense. You will look Forever 21. .
