    I like to use this in the summer when I am oiler. I don't notice the difference in my skin using this like I do when I use the creme, so I won't be re-purchasing when I run out.

    While La Mer has a devoted following I am not entirely sold on its products. Perhaps, the regular La Mer cream is better than this one. However, this cream was very bad to my skin. I have normal...

    It really made my face matte for most of the day. It shrinks your pores just like the cream. I didn't break out from this like I did the cream. I is my summer moisturizer. But for the winter it...

    Ugh! This lotion broke me out, made me greasy and all to the tune of serious $$$. I've seen the reviews and while I can appreciate that many people love this product, I can't relate.
