    Default Creme de la Mer

    Has anyone tried Creme de la Mer? I've heard fabulous things about it and know it has a large worldwide following, so I don't doubt it's great, but does anyone have personal experience with it?

    I love it! Its expensive, but my skin is definitely my best feature, so I want to keep it that way as long as possible.
    Another thing I use is a Vitamin C serum. Supposedly, it absorbs free radicals before they can damage your skin. I use it everyday and I feel better working in a cloud of skin-damaging smoke.
    When I first started working, someone commented on how young I looked. Then, he laughed and said that it wouldn't last long, that he had seen so many girls come in fresh faced and youthful and had watched them age fast.
    Yes, it was a shitty, rude thing to say, but it did make me a bit paranoid.

    You should look at MakeUpAlley.com at their product reviews. You will find a lot of info.

    Also try drinking pomegranate juice...it's supposed to fight against free radicals and reverse the effects of aging. You buy it in a concentrated form and mix half an ounce with water and drink it daily. I saw some at HEB today for like 4 dollars a bottle.

    Try googling "benefits pomegranate juice" and you'll several hits.

    Pop oral vitamin C and folic acid before you go. I am having good results with retinol and vitamin C.

    As far as creme de la mer...your picture makes you look about 16 years old Piper, it seems a little early for that

    A customer bought me a $200 jar of Creme de La Mer. The main ingredient is mineral oil. It's intended for dry, mature skin, but they market it as a celebrity/socialite cult cream to sell more of the stuff.

    It supposedly has a sea weed derived "miracle broth" but I've been using it for a few months now and I think it's just a goddamn moisturizer. An expenisive and nice-smelling one, but it's way overpriced.

    it is not so good for people with oily/ moderately oily/ combination or acne prone skin.... like nina daisy said this product is for mature/dry or normal skin.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Pam Anderson uses Creme de la Mer, but she has drier skin anyway from her ancestry. Best bet for us? Get a consultation with Clinique and learn what your skin needs.
    You are also what you eat. I take oil pills and my skin looks better.

    love Creme De La Mar.. when i feel i have enough to splurge on it, if you have the money its definetley worth checking out, made my skin feel a million times smoother, more elasticity too, lol, but if you cant afford to indulge theirs tons of other stuff that works amazingly haha, and like someone else on here said you are so fresh faced from your pic i wouldnt splurge on it
