LA MER

About La Mer

La Mer began with Dr Max Huber, an aerospace physicist who looked to the sea after suffering burns in a lab accident. After 12 years and 6,000 experiments he arrived at a fermentation process that turns sea kelp and other ingredients into Miracle Broth.

La Mer says the fermentation takes 3 to 4 months and uses light and sound, and that Miracle Broth is at the heart of every La Mer product. The original moisturiser, Crème de la Mer, is still the brand's best known product. La Mer joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995.

A simple routine. After cleansing, The Treatment Lotion, then serum and The Eye Concentrate, then a La Mer moisturiser: Crème de la Mer for drier skin, The Moisturizing Soft Cream for combination to drier skin, or The Moisturizing Fresh Cream for oilier or combination skin. Warm Crème de la Mer between the fingertips until translucent before pressing it into the face and neck.
