Review: Creme de la Mer – A miracle come true

Creme de la Mer is where miracles begin. I’m skeptical about miracles sometimes too but this one sounded so good that it must be true. So I decided to try this cream and see the effects on my own skin.

I wrote a preview for this moisturizing cream a few days ago, where I talked about its ingredients (which are all natural), what you should expect of it, the price, how it was made and by who. So, if you are interested in those details please read the preview here.

Creme de la Mer Moisturizing Cream Review: Creme de la Mer   A miracle come true

I’ve been using this cream for more than 6 weeks now, and I figured it’s just about time to make a review. I like to test the creams for a longer period of time, especially the ones who claim to be anti-wrinkle because you have to give them time to adapt with your skin and until you will see the effects it will take a few weeks, depending on the cream.

I’ve been using good creams before this one too (even anti-wrinkles) so I can’t really say that I had a lot of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. I always used face and eye creams and I took very good care of my complexion.

I just turned 28 in the beginning of December so I’m qualified for testing anti-wrinkles creams, because I’ve also start using them for over a year now. It is said you should start using anti-wrinkles creams not when you notice your first lines but long before that because you want to prevent their appearance.

First of all I want to let you know that I have an oily type of skin. If you girls have the same you know for sure that it takes special care and you always try to fight shine (at least I do). I have been searching for creams that will be absorbed fast by the skin without leaving my complexion looking oily but I can’t say that I’ve found the perfect one yet.

Preview: La Mer – Moisturizing Cream

Do you believe in miracles?

If miracles are defined as unique events that appear inexplicable by the laws of nature, then surely Creme de la Mer is a miracle. I’ve been using this cream for more than a month now and it truly changed the way I see myself.

Preview La Mer Moisturizing Cream Preview: La Mer   Moisturizing Cream

Creme de la Mer was conceived under extraordinary circumstances after physicist Dr. Max Huber suffered severe chemical burns, years ago, while performing a routine experiment. 12 years and some 6.000 experiments later he perfected the Creme that would help give skin a dramatically smoother appearance.

The formula

At the heart of the Creme is a highly potent Miracle Broth. There is nothing miraculous about its ingredients – sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin, Vitamins C, E and B 12, plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower. The way these ingredients were distilled made the difference between a good moisturizer and a small miracle. Huber discovered that an amazing thing transpired as these ingredients journeyed from individual components into a nutrient-rich Miracle Broth – a process that took 3-4 months to complete.
