Fresh or La Mer

Hey there! VIB sale is around the corner and I feel like splurging on some luxury moisturizer to use as a night cream. I have normal skin that tends to get dry in winter/sunbathing and I like to use something really moisturizing at night. I'm hesitating between Fresh Crème Ancienne and the Crème de La Mer. Which one do you recommend?! thank you!

Re: Fresh or La Mer

@emye So I have not tried the fresh Creme Ancienne, but generally I love their products. That being said they all contain a fair amount of fragrance which can effect how your skin will react. I love the way all fresh products smell, I find it super refreshing and light and the formulas always work very well for me.

 

The La Mer has a very pronounced rose smell and also contains fragrances. I definitely did not care for the scent. The moisturizer itself was very rich and oil heavy, and I would generally only recommend this product if your skin is fairly dry and you were looking to use this at night. I liked the results it gave as my skin does need a fair amount of moisture overnight, but ultimately I did not find it more impressive than my $44 jar of Origins Nightamins. 

 

Definitely do you, and this post is in no way meant to be judgmental because everyone's budget/values/needs are different but frankly I would not consider purchasing the La Mer, and while I would maybe consider the Fresh at some point if my personal budget restraints were different, if this is a large expense for you I would wait on it because probably neither are life-changing enough to justify the cost if you've never tried them before/don't know what to expect.
