With the nutrient-rich Miracle Broth™, the heart of La Mer’s profound powers of transformation, your skin is immersed in moisture, sensitivities are soothed and radiance is restored.

How to use: The Miracle Broth in Crème de la Mer is suspended in an extraordinary formula. The secret to activating its renewing power and enjoying its profound benefits lies in a soothing ritual.

Amazing Product

I've been using La Mer for two years and it's the best moisturizing product I've used. It really repairs your skin and make it smooth. One thing to avoid is using it every single day though as your skin may become depend on it. Drinking enough water and exercise is still the way to go. This product would only help you if you do the other things right. If you know that you will be using this product very frequently, then 8.5oz is the best one to buy from all the different sizes. I've attached the picture of this product compared to the typical nail clippers so you can see how big it is.

not worth the money

To sum up everything the moisturizer evaporates every time you open the jar. I use a tiny bit and notice that there is nothing left. Jar is just about empty. I was always careful on how much I used. I saw no difference between this one and a less than one

Gorified Vaseline Sad to Quit After Seven Years

I have used La Mer moisturizers since 2017 and they have been my safe go to lotions and I am so sad I have to quit it. They changed the formula a few years back and it’s basically a glorified Vaseline now. Not worth the money.

Not the same

I still love it but it is not the same since they changed the formula. Also It does not smell as good as it used to

Half the size it used to be - same price

This is already extremely expensive but I just received the smallest size and at the same price it is now HALF an ounce — I buy the same each year and it was one ounce last year. They cut the size in half and it’s still $100 bucks. I won’t be buying again. Seriously- How greedy are you??

AWFUL FORMULA CHANGE!!!

Thank you to all the other recent reviews who took the time to write about this new formula because I too thought my jar was rancid, spoiled etc. This new formula is thinner, shiny and not as creamy thick upon application....AND IT STINKS like automotive shop grease or some kind of lubricant!! AWFUL!! I thought I'd better get a replacement jar because this jar's formula is bad! I have used this cream exclusively for over 30 years and it used to smell lovely like roses or slightly oriental fragrance. Now it just stinks! and is greasier, thinner and not as moisturizing! WHY LA MER did you mess with this formula? Thank you to Nordstrom for putting these reviews out there so I now know its a formula change and not a bad jar! Incredibly disappointed......bring back the old formula La Mer because us long time users notice the difference immediately!!:(:(

careful buying from Nordstrom

I love this product and this time I bought it to stock up because I was interested in trying the free 6 piece gift they promised with a $375 purchase. Not only did they not send half of my order, I also did not receive my gift. Nordstrom then denied my refund and I had to fight with them after they did not send my very expensive La Mer products. I had to take pictures of the tiny box that proved they didn’t even have room to send them. I will never purchase from Nordstrom again. I recommend the direct La Mer sight. This company doesn’t honor its promises and may actually rob you and claim you are a liar.

Something Has Changed

I have purchased moisturizing cream from La Mer for years and love it. It is one of the only creams that has staying power especially in the winter months. However, something has changed it is not as thick as it was and seems to have more air bubbles in the mixture. Now when I apply it I find I need to use more of it and more often.

Works like nothing else

My husband had a lot of pre-cancer skin lesions. He had to use Efudex (F-5 flouroracil), a potent topical chemotherapy. It targets fast growing cells but does a job on all of the skin -- after two to three weeks it is raw, oozy, painful. It is just a horrible experience. Then you stop and you can use ointments to soothe the skin and start getting rid of the inflammation and start healing. Coritsone is recommended but doesn't work. Nothing works but -- this. In sheer desperation I applied some from my tiny jar. Almost within minutes I was online ordering more. There is just something about this that made it soothe and stop the pain, and boost the healing. I don't think I would pay the freight just to use this as a beauty treatment but I would use it for little bruises or injuries, or, just in case (hope not) my husband needs to use Efudex again.

Cream of the creams!

I used this back in the early 80’s and always had compliments on my skin. Fast forward 40 years, I tried other brands of cream, lotions….etc because they were supposed to be scientifically better. Yah right! So about 2 weeks ago I used a vitamin C serum that wound up making the skin on my cheeks dryer and fine lines show up from cheekbones to jawbones. Enough playing around, I got more Crème de la Mer and morning and night patted it on my poor abused face. The next morning I noticed a release of some of the fine lines. After 5 days my skin is almost back to its smooth and dewy self. I’m 70, but I don’t have to look 70! Low these many years, ain’t nothing better than Crème de la Mer!

Can't live without

Love, love, love La Mer. I have been using this miracle cream for over 10 years. I occasionally am tempted to try something new but always come back here. For my rosacea prone, dry sensitive skin nothing compares. Strangers comment on the great condition of my skin and think I'm 10 years younger. Recently splurged and bought this ginormous vat of La Mer. If you use it regularly, this is a great value. I just refill my small 1oz container so I don't contaminate the big container with repeated finger dips!

HATE The New Formula! Smells like BURNT RUBBER

I am devastated that they changed the formula. I immediately noticed the awful smell and was shocked because I thought I had received a fake one. But I noticed so many other people saying the same thing. I'm so sad that I'll have to part ways with my favorite face cream after 10+ years.
