Most of us have heard about the wonders of Creme de la Mer. It is considered as a luxury cream with a devoted cult of users who are more than willing to spend money on the glamorous effect of this treatment. La Mer has set the standard for luxury skin care creams, and it is close to impossible to hear or talk about La Mer without feeling at least a bit amazed at the background of this signature product. I'm sure some of you who have heard of La Mer or have been using it are nodding your heads in agreement at this very moment. A successful aerospace physicist, Dr. Max Hubber was severely scarred after an accident during a lab experiment. He spent 12 years and thousands of experiments to develop a product that would repair his damaged skin. With dedication and hard work, he was able to pioneer the use of sea kelp essence in skin care and mastered the art of bio-fermentation.
You must be wondering why the product is called "Creme de la Mer". This is because the successful formula of Dr. Hubber not only contains sea kelp, it also has sea salts and vitamin B12 (an oil associated with fish). These ingredients "from the sea" are blended into La Mer's trademark Miracle Broth, which is a seaborne elixir that powers the well-renowned Creme de la Mer. The Miracle Broth is widely recognized and acclaimed for its healing energies. This potent and nutrient-rich creme helps soothe, nourish, and renew the skin, encouraging the natural healing process.
The method used to blend the ingredients of La Mer is as important to the overall creme composition as the ingredients themselves. Aside from the blending process just mentioned, the "deconstructed water" technology is also essential in producing the cream. The water used in processing the product is executed in a special technique that renders water molecules in La Mer capable of carrying denser clusters of ingredients than ordinary water. The formula stimulates collagen production, provides protection from UV Ray damage, environmental pollutants, and free radical damage. 
Though the complete list of ingredients of La Mer is one of the best kept secrets of modern cosmetic breakthroughs. Here are a few of the ingredients that I stumbled upon which affirms that this skin provides extensive moisture on the skin. You will notice that there are a number of humectants, emollients and occlusive agents in the ingredients. Humectants are substances that absorb water from the air and hold the moisture in the skin. These are useful in softening thickened or scaly skin, and need very high levels of humidity to be effective. Emollients are ingredients that fill in the spaces between the cells in the skin; these help replace lipids as well as smooth and lubricate rough skin. Occlusive agents on the other hand work by physically blocking the loss of water from the skin. These help in restoring the lipid barrier of the skin.

The creme is very thick with floral fragrance. You can place two drops onto the center of your clean palm and rub your hands together. The creme will "liquify" if you rub it together vigorously. Once you properly emulsified Creme de la Mer, it will be really clear and will have a thick liquid consistency. Upon applying on your skin, you will immediately feel it being absorbed. It does take a while to master this technique for application but once you get the hang of it, it will be a lot easier. The creme is extremely hydrating and will give you that glowing smooth skin you've always wanted. Now you probably understand why a lot of celebrities are rumored to hoard little jars of La Mer. Not only does La Mer moisturize your skin, it also serves as an anti-aging cream and we can thank the antioxidants present in its hydrating ingredients for that.
La Mer is quite pricey but the experience and effects are said to be well worth it. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg from all the positive reviews and the cult following for this product. I'm pretty sure that the creme will be more than what you expected. This is perfect for life's big moments when you want to shine and look great, but wouldn't you want to feel like that every day? That's what La Mer can do for you.
