I feel the reason for the La Mer creams popularity is mostly cause it’s a status symbol. Kinda like having a Birkin bag.

The skin texture of the body is much thicker than the face.. Using a product that is formulated for the body on your face, it will cause the pores to sofacate, therefore the Collagen and Elastin fibers on you facial area will be compromised causing those fibers to degrade and make the skin older..Don't do it, use the proper skin care products on your face.

I work in a beauty store on Skincare (my main brand is La Mer 👀) and La Mer customers are usually older people who just think about the brand as something luxurious and they love some products. In my opinion the brand should invest more in developing some new formulas, etc. The best dupe I've tried so far is Heimish Marine Care Melting Cream - ingredients and texture wise is absolutely amazing!

[@linger368]

Oooh. Thanks for this! I hope I'm not asking too much... but that Cassandra would be able to try out the Marine Care Melting Cream! 😁

[@Renee-zy6oy]

Omg thank you!! I’ve been looking everywhere for a dupe that I actually liked(Nivea gives me acne, Mario Badescu Seaweed night cream isn’t moisturizing enough) and I had almost given up until I read your recommendation! So excited to try the Heimish one.

[@JoaoPedro-wi6vo]

Thanks for the tip! I personally really enjoy La Mer but it’s not in my budget most of the time. I googled that Heimish cream and it’s shockingly affordable for a formula jam packed with great extracts!

[@chelseasummers2365]

I heard all the hype about La Mer cream so I thought I’d give it a try. Well not with my own money I went into a high-end store and asked if I could have a sample and they kindly gave it to me (they were quite generous also). So I got my fix and I tried it. I even slathered myself with it in the store, but there’s no way that I’m going to part with $600. My background is European, and my grandmother only ever applied Nivea cream to her face and hands. When she died in her late 80s, her skin was impeccable. Ladies don’t buy into all the hype and the brands and feel like you have to keep up with everyone. Be sensible,do what works for you and have realistic expectations. Remember you are all beautiful and the only person you should compare yourself to is yourself. Try to be better, do better every day.

[@maximum8]

I forked out on a big jar of La Mer, and the worst thing is; I'm really liking the cream and my skin looks fantastic since the switch over. My skin is looking nourished, glowing and healthy - and super soft to the touch. I have tried various creams in the past but La Mer is definitely the front runner, at least for me anyway. Any left over from the face application goes on to my hands, and my hands are now looking the best they ever have. I'm 100% hooked.

[@zy510]

I tried a sample of La Mer. It lasted about 6 weeks and it made my skin feel very soft, but didn't appear any better. I tried Nivea as a dupe and it moisturised well but irritated my skin. La Mer is the type of cream that would impress somebody who has never used a face cream, doesn't know anything about skincare and thinks the more you spend, the better quality you get. And that's basically their target market summed up!

[@samanthamarie4629]

I disagree, I've been using the soft cream from La Mer and my skin absolutely loves it. Hasn't compared to anything else I've ever tried and I've tried tons of products over the years.

[@sazaislin]

@@samanthamarie4629 that's great that it works for you but alot of us couldn't even dream of wanting to try it its so expensive for some of us 😭 along w that not everyone wants to support a brand who test on animals or just not support for other reasons whatever it may be! which is why we're all here watching a video about dupes lol

@@sazaislin I have La Mer. It’s nothing special. Nice moisturizer, but so is about 10 others that have great ingredients and don’t cost an arm and a leg.

[@christinadelaflor1177]

I hate to say this but I’ve tried both cheap and expensive ones but La Mer intense cream is the best so far. Made my face plump and radiant. I’m surprised cause I have oily combo acne prone skin but I didn’t break out. I only buy if it’s 20% off at Sephora. Please don’t generalize. Just because it doesn’t work for you means it’s the same for everyone and that we are just dumbos on skin care. It’s the best one I’ve tried so far so I’ll keep using it as long as I can also afford it.

[@dannyc3008]

the Heimish Marine Care line are some of the best algae products i've ever tried and are cruelty free/vegan, affordable, and the ingredients lists are amazing. Although not cruelty free, Missha's Red Algae line is amazing as well and the essence is my overall favorite product of all time personally

[@camilleb292]

Thank you for your comment. I’ve been thinking about trying the Heimish line, since I would like to test how algae works for me 👏👏😊

[@AbsFabbs]

I used the missha fermented artemisia essence and it’s so good. I originally got it at Marshall’s just because and I have been repurchasing it ever since. I will def try the algae next.

[@hippybecca]

I have heard people suggest to use The Ordinary Marine Hyraulonics and the Nivea Creme together. Bam basically La Mer.

[@starlight1818]

Honestly i can't imagine spending more than $60 on a cream, much less a few hundred bucks on one like La Mer. If i had the money i would try LM but not before these dupes! Love you Cass!

[@Justanothermusicnerdxo]

The best creams I ever tried were $120 (Tatcha the Silk Cream), $260 (Sulwhasoo Ginseng Renewing Cream) and $450 (AmorePacific Time Response Intensive Creme). These were all absolutely amazing, and each for different reasons, however the only one I rebought was the The Silk Cream. Because honestly while these luxury products were really good, I didn’t think they were worth the massive increase in price. I think there’s a significant increase in quality from a lot of drugstore ($20 and below) creams but once you enter the $40-$120 range, the quality doesn’t really scale with price. As someone who spent more money than necessary on luxury products I do believe they’re ultimately overhyped. If I were to recommend a more affordable Cream, I’d probably go with the new Laneige water bank ($40), but there are a lot of good mid range options.

[@louisenielsen7106]

I read that as £ and nearly had a stroke 😂😂 £60 in danish kroner (DKK) is 600! $60 is 360 DKk and still waaay more then I will ever be willing to pay. But better then 600!

Same my skincare routine is only $100. Why should I buy this product? In fact, I tried once and my skin burn as hell. Disclaimer: I have rosacea and sensitive skin.

[@JustA.witch.]

I can't imagine spending more that $25 on one product 😭

[@Renee-zy6oy]

@@Justanothermusicnerdxo I’ve tried all those from deluxe samples and the only high end moisturizer that actually lived up to the hype for me was the Augustinus Bader Rich Cream. I have really dry and sensitive skin with a lot of redness from rosacea, and that cream really made my skin feel moisturized and soothed enough I didn’t have to put an oil or sleep mask over it. The moisturizer I use now is the Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer that you can get at Walmart lol. You’re right that the quality in drugstore has improved so much. I love that moisturizer.

[@lisabelle7553]

I worked part time at a very high and department store when I was younger, and was gifted a jar of La Mer-- and I was so excited to have luxury cream. I really didn't understand what was so great about it. I used it down to the last drop and didn't notice anything special about it. Even at that young age I learned it was marketing and hype. Thank you for showing these cruelty free affordable alternatives.

[@Brian-wx4ig]

I heard from Dr Shareene Idriss that’s “unscented” and “fragrance free” do not mean the same thing. Because “unscented” can still have fragrance which masks the fragrance of the original formulation. If I’m wrong please correct me!!

[@faithalba18]

Was jus thinkin this!

[@beemofan1]

I can help! The issue with the terms "unscented" and "fragrance-free" is that they're not regulated. This means that neither term has an official definition, so just because a product uses either term does not necessarily mean there is any standard definition to what extent fragrance and fragrant ingredients are included in a formulation. Because of this, I've observed in the skincare industry that sometimes, "fragrance-free" and "unscented" are used interchangeably due to their similar meanings. Therefore, "unscented" could mean a product has no fragrant ingredients while "fragrance-free" could convey that a product has no specific scent but doesn't truly exclude fragrant ingredients. Based only my personal observation, usually, when brands market a product as "fragrance-free," they deliberately exclude fragrant ingredients. In my opinion, this is different from "unscented" because "unscented" literally means there's no smell, so for me, "unscented" doesn't have a connotation of actively excluding fragrant ingredients. At the end of the day, regardless of each term's connotation, neither term is regulated, so there's no universal rule for how each brand is using its term of choice. The only surefire way to know is to ask the brand how it defines the term for the labeled product in question.

I'm not really interested in any of the celebrity lines but hers is billed as "clean" which I have learned from you is nothing more than a buzzword and the ingredients, to my extremely newbie eyes, kind of sound decent but I also could be being swayed by seeing names of various fruits and stuff lol, anyway yeah just curious if it would get your seal of approval ❤️

i think la mer knows their demographic extremely well, and that’s honestly the only people who are actually buying it and keeping them in business. I guess it’s heavily reliant on consumer loyalty and maybe even legacy, where someone’s family member used to use it and now they passed it down.

Yes love cruelty free products! Your video prompted me to buy the Seaweed Bath Co. body cream - I use it on my face and it's wonderful!

Wow! I loved this. I've been using this Lamer cream off and on for a few years. I try something different and always go back to it but, hate spending the money on it. I can usually get it on sale during the VIP Sephora sales. I'm going out to buy these others and give them a try. What hooks me back to Lamer each time is the scent, texture and sensitivity that comes with in on my face.

I have problematic skin and noticed that more expensive actually does mean better for me personally (I use brands like Elemis and Medik8, for example, while superdrug skincare gives me breakouts), so I really wanted to try La Mer because of curiosity. I though it must be a pure magic for that price, although we all know price does not always mean quality.

Love your video, very informative and fun to watch...I watched several times and made notes. Can't wait to try some of these products. Your beautiful. God bless. Joyce Sykes from Huntsville Alabama

I love that you support cruelty-free products! I have a question: what is out there that has similar results to aloe? I am allergic to aloe and it burns my skin off. Is there anything that can soothe sunburns besides aloe? (PS: it took me way too long to realize I'm allergic to aloe and I always just thought my sunburns were "worse than I realized" when I put aloe on them lol also! I wear sunscreen religiously but a burn will still sneak in occasionally)

I honestly think that some people feel better about themselves for the only sake of consuming expensive things. It makes them feel exclusive. Also, I think rich people get sometimes scammed just because of this. They assume they are getting something over the top just because the price is over the top without even comparing with other options.

I grew up in the 90s in Northern California. That Santa Cruz commercial just brought back the best memories!!!

Keep up the great work!!!

[@CassandraBankson]

@24, aww, thank you so very much, just made me smile.

It’s not a kelp or seaweed based cream but I love skinfood as a moisturizer. It’s sweet almond oil, beeswax, camomile flower extract, rosemary leaf extract, and calendula leaf extract. And it’s a thick girl.

the bar has been raised. find someone who treats you like la mer treats their seaweed. 🥰💓🥰

[@sarahnaithammou]

Could you review the Osea brand as a whole? With regard to sustainability and animal ethics, I've seen plenty of folks speak positively about it, but I'd love to hear more of a skincare expert discuss it.

[@elisachiantaretto5639]

Hi Cassandra, what do you think about Sisley? Thank you very much!

[@Iquey]

If you want the beauty benefits if giant kelp, the best way to start is to eat it. There's a few companies making kelp pickles nowadays, and they taste pretty cool. I noticed the seaweed body cream had kukui nut oil too! That stuff comes from Hawaii and Malaysia/Polynesia. They are very moisturizing and give money to those parts of the world.

Hi Cassandra 👋 I booked a plasma prp facial can you talk about it please my skin history I had a cystic acne but now I have scars is the plasma prp going to help?

[@AxelStar]

lovin' this video and some of these dupes 👀. ALSO the Santa Cruz commercial just hit the nostalgia bone in my memory 😭. That was my childhood.

[@SisterCaliGal]

i love OSEA products... i originally saw them on gibi the asmrist's channel.

[@katharinegarrison2568]

I may have bought that seaweed lotion the day after I watched this. I put it on my peeling sunburn ( I know, I know, I felt like such a dummy) but it helped! None of the other lotions helped at all.

[@travelwiththejonesesmoneys3098]

love your videos, I know its not skin care but do you know a good dupe for la mer the sheer pressed powder? x

[@rhiannonrhiannon6285]

Great video!

[@vickycoburn405]

I would never use La Mer, I worked for Elemis for many years and love there products! Regarding the more luxurious face cream you recommend, it has Isopropyl myristate, I always thought this was not good for a acne prone skin as there is a high chance of clogging the pores. Also thought not that great! What do you think Cassandra? Love your channel! You have beautiful energy! Love Vicky

[@karisuzanne4382]

Besides the petrolatum, one of the main ingredients is mineral oil which is pore clogging for a lot of people not to mention as CHEAP as petroleum jelly.

[@reymedina]

Celebrities are so superficial, they follow trends, buy things because, first they have tons of money, second, they want to be accepted in the high status society so if a millionaire buys a cream I'm going to do it because I want my followers to see how rich I am (not caring about the ingredients or what the product actually does), and us "the sheeple", the non-rich people, we believe them and suffer for not having 360 bucks to splurge on an overpriced cream. I'm def with you Cassandra, we have to stop normalizing this consumerism of status.

[@LittleMissCookieStar]

The Seaweed Bath Company do sunscreen and you absolutely should do a review, so I know whether it's worth the shipping to the UK 😀

[@lesleywarron7118]

I would love to see a review of Augustinus Bader creams. Very hyped but are they worth the price?

[@sasandbernard7862]

Bruh I get uncomfortable when I pay elf prices for a face moisturizer. I could get a whole bomb-ass skin- and haircare routine with the amount of money that using just the La Mer cream would cost

[@sheila7909]

Always love a dupe
