La Mer - is it worth the price?

[Anonymous]

I sews by it . I've tried Egyptian magic, cetaphil, everything . I hate the price but it does help me. I have dry sensitive skin and am Asian .

I just bought it and I have to say it is pretty awesome. You have to warm it with your hands before applying or else it is thick. I'm also using the serum but I haven't used foundation since I started it!

Not worth it. Get a scrip for retina-a and a jar of ponds cold cream.

Worth it, but only for your face not to slather over your whole body. And really don't need all the la mer toners and astringents.

A few tips: Nivea creme sold at Target for like$7 is practically identical to la mer (even smells the same) and it is very luxurious on my skin. I use it on my face at night when it needs it. Also, if I were to splurge on skin care it would be la prairie.

Dermatologist after dermatologist will tell you that the products or behaviors that work have more to do with prevention. Sunscreen, limit alcohol, smoking. to reverse or slow again, start using retinols around age 35-40.

I love highly rich products for my face so that texture would not bother me at all. I actually use various oils on my face and it feels fabulous and my skin is rosy afterwards.

Can you recommend a good retinol? Thanks!

Specifically which Nivea? Thanks!

It is in a blue jar and it says "creme" on it, it is in the section with body lotions at Target. I discovered this tidbit while reading fashion/beauty blogs and it is really nice. I think it is as close to la mer without the huge price tag.

Use the German made Nivea and not the Made in Mexico you find at Target. Small flower.com sells the German Nivea.

I bought the German made Nivea based on recommendations I read on this site and it is pretty awesome and super cheap. I bought the biggest tin from Smallflower and it costs $15.

Hi there, I'm the PP you're responding to. I ended up getting two 13 oz tins from Amazon for $17 altogether. They are made in Germany. I love it so far! Wonderful results on my face, hands, and hard-as-rocks calluses on my feet. Thanks so much again!!!
