See the wallet-friendly dupes for the beloved and expensive moisturizer
One skincare product that has stood the test of time and is beloved by dermatologists, makeup artists and celebrities alike is La Mer’s Crème de la Mer. And while it gets high marks for being an ultra rich, nourishing moisturizer, it also comes with a high price tag. In fact, the going rate for the smallest size (0.5 oz) the cream comes in retails for $100. And the price only goes up from there — the largest jar (16.5 oz) costs $2860 — wowza! Thankfully, if you’ve ever wanted to try the cream out but don’t want to make such a big dent in your wallet, you can by instead opting for a product like La Mer. Read on for the affordable dupes that get rave reviews online.
What is La Mer Crème De La Mer?
The brand launched what they refer to this cream as its original and best-selling formula for dry skin in 1956. And while you might think a cosmetic chemist created this cult-classic moisturizer, Max Huber, an aerospace physicist is behind the product. Huber was looking for a treatment to repair burns he suffered and formulated a cream with kelp from the California coastline. (And the brand’s name even give an ode to this as Créme de la Mer translates to cream of the sea).
And you might be wondering what’s so great about La Mer Crème de la Mer in the first place? It all comes down to the way it’s formulated. It has a proprietary lineup of ingredients (the brand refers to it as Miracle broth; it includes the aforementioned sea kelp along with vitamins and minerals) that aid in skin cell renewal and hydration.
But as esthetician and TikToker @emmaclaireesthetics mentions in her video below, the cream’s ingredients aren’t great for certain skin types. She mentions that besides algae extra, the two other top ingredients in the cream include mineral oil and petrolatum. And both of the these ingredients can clog pores, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
