La Mer Blue Heart Crème de la Mer Limited Edition
Works for
MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Petrolatum + 17 moreWorks well
“Deeply moisturising, this cream works to relieve dryness to leave skin feeling firmer while encouraging natural renewal.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
algae extract, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, sesamum indicum seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum
Anti-agingAlgae extract, Copper gluconate + 2 moreNot delivered
“Minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with the help of La Mer The Limited-Edition Blue Heart Crème de la Mer, an ultra-rich cream that works to calm and soothe the skin.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
