As someone who suffers from ezcema and psoriasis as well as a rare immune disorder that causes a lot of allergic reactions, here is the tip you need to know about Avene. Avene originally was developed for sufferers of ezcrma and psoriasis and are both fragrance and chemical free. But, Avene has now developed a line that has fragrance and some other things that can be harsh on the skin. They often have a heavy rosy/ baby powder smell. When checking out the items you can look at the ingredients list but a hack is the front of the container, most of them are stamped with SENSITIVE in blue in all caps if it is fragrance and chemical free EXCEPT for the Cicalfate+ line where it is written in gray in lower case letters. Both are located near the bottom of the tube and higher up on jars.

The thing that took my skin from being dry, dehydrated and tight to normal was squalane oil under my moisturizer. In one month. I now forget to moisturize my skin in the morning because it feels so nice, whether beforehand I would slather it with jojoba oil and thick oily creams and it wouldn't help.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

I bought a squalane stick for a couple bucks and I SWEAR by it now. It took me from dry, flakey skin that I'd have to mist half way through the day to a normal skin type! Helped heal my skin when I over exfoliated in attempt to get rid of the flakes!

I LOVE the Avene. I decided to try La Mer to see what the fuss was about. It's such a joke. I feel the company is making fools of women who are buying it because it does not do anything so much more appropriately priced can do. We're just making them rich. I noticed NO difference using La Mer after one year of using it. thanks for making this video.

Years ago a dermatologist told me that the most important things you can do for your skin are: Don’t Smoke, Don’t get too much Sun, Eat Healthy, Stay Hydrated, Exercise, Get Adequate Sleep and above all, Choose Your Parents Wisely! 😂😂 He said a simple cleanser and moisturizer is sufficient, your skin is only going to absorb so much, if it was any more penetrable we’d drown every time we took a bath! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Has very little fragrance you can hardly smell it, and for me it is worth every penny!!! Trust me because at my age I have tried about every moisturizer there is! Also works great as a primer under my foundation.

[@cleopatra72]

A lot if people don’t realize you need to warm it up to activate it and pat it to the skin, not rub it in like other lotions or creams. So they don’t get the effects! If you break out then your just to sensitive and your going to have an issue with a lot of moisturizers. I love my la mer!!!

I've generally converted to FF skincare but La Mer is one of the exceptions. I enjoy the scent of it (while I hate most other fragranced skincare products) and the Creme de La Mer actually healed the dry, chapped skin under my nose last winter. No other creams I used (I was using good brands too) did squat but the La Mer healed it in a matter of two weeks. Between K Beauty products/techniques, French Pharmaceutical skincare, Derm recommendations, and a few high end brands (La Mer, Clarins, SkinCeuticals), my skin is doing very well for a 56yo who’s never used any Retinol products on my face.

I'm in my late sixties. Almost overnight these vertical crepey wrinkles formed on the front of my neck. I've tried so many things to soften them so they're not so noticeable. Every night I use retinaldehyde, a mist of water and hyaluronic acid. Then a moisturizer. My skin looks smoother for a while until this dries, then the wrinkles are back in all their glory. The last couple of nights I have used the dupe mentioned in this video as the last layer. When I get up in the morning my neck still looks pretty good. As far as I'm concerned, this stuff is a miracle cream! I' m going to use it during the day, too. Thank you for recommending it!!

[@LisaMonique]

Ok, I have been using La Mer for almost 4 years, I went off the last two months, trying to find a dupe and testing a product that I thought was a dupe but I have to admit I'm going back to my La Mer. It took about four months for me to really see a difference when I first started using the product, almost a full 2 ounce jar, but it really is as good or better than everything else I've tried. It's not just the moisture level, which is all you can really compare when you're only using for a few weeks. It actually does make my skin better over time. I have no sensitivity to fragrance so all of the things that you say could be irritating to the skin does not bother me . Using a half ounce is not going to give you a comparison do you need at least 4 to 6 months. Having said that, I should try this new dupe while my skin is off La Mer and see if it brings my skin back to par.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Hey Lisa, what if you try good hydrators 1st (like the Avene Thermal Spring Water) and mist it on your skin 1st and then add your favorite hydrating serum (like DRMTLGY NEEDLE-LESS, or even something like The Ordinary HA + Alpha Arbutin over the mist then mist again then add the hydrator again ( I like to repeat those steps a couple times to add loads of hydration before the moisture) and THEN add the Avene Cicalfate Cream. I even mist again after I put on the Cicalfate and massage it in and see if that helps with the dryness??? Also I've been using my Vanicream Daily moisturizer 1st and THEN kinda slugging with the Avene Cicalfate at night and I'm LOVING the results. Super inexpensive too. But some gals are saying the same thing that you are saying, that they LOVE LOVE LOVE Lamer so you know that just goes to show that we all have different skin types and not everything works the same for us all. My main concern with fragrance is that even if it doesn't bother us now, so many Dermatologists say it "can' cause issues over time. My sister, who is just a couple years older than me, never had issues with fragrance in skincare and now she suddenly developed Rosacea. Her Dermatologist told her it's from years of using face products with fragrance. Yikes! So I try to be careful with fragrance in my leave in products. I'm ok with a small amount but since Lamer has a TON of fragrance in the ingredients, just be cautious with your beautiful, perfect face! 🤗💜

Use cornstarch for diaper rash. It's cheap, cheaper than Avene and it works! Just sprinkle it in a clean diaper and then over top of the baby's pelvic area when you've laid the baby in the diaper.

I received a sample of La Mer through a special offer on IG & I must say I loved it. I received The Concentrate, La Mer cream and something else. The Concentrate was amazing and cleared up a red rash on my skin. The moisturizer made my skin glow as a sleep mask. With that said the price is ridiculous and I’ll probably never purchase it. Instead I purchased the Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream and the Isntree Bifida ampoule. That combination gives me similar results (with algae skin treating ingredients + the super renewing moisture locking cream) at a fraction of the cost. I’m super pleased with the results and there’s no fragrance. Although I was never bothered by the fragrance. I also purchased Nivea cream in the blue tin to use as a moisturizer for neck and body. Smell’s just like La Mer and adding the ampoule first gives similar results as La Mer. Overall I’m really glad I had the opportunity to try La Mer for free because it sent me on the search for similar affordable products and my skin is very happy. With that said I’ll be trying this line once I use up my current products. Thanks for sharing ❤🎉❤

Sorry politely giving my opinion ..I'm older with lots of fine lines until I started using La Mer original moisturizing cream. ...

About the price I don’t understant really here in Europe is verry very cheap.

Hey i have a question does Avene cicaflate clogged pores or cause breakouts? Plz tell me

[@dianap1211]

I haven't experienced such things as pore clogging or breakouts with avene cicalfate. As I mentioned in my post it was cicaplast baume B5 that gave me huge breakouts those nasty which takes so much time to go away. But never avene cicalfate. For me is literally a skin saver and I really have large pores with super oily skin. But is true I also use a salicylic toner from Paula's choice once or twice a week to keep my pores clear@@ChandaChanda-l6d

I always have on hand the Avene thermal water. My derm recommends as well.

I placed an order right away because I really need something for my skin barrier. Hope this helps! Thanks for this great tip! Hi from Sweden by the way... And I really have to ask...why are you on Cruises so often?

[@DELLRS2012]

I love that cream and won’t be without it. However, I used it as a facial moisturizer for a few months and it dried my skin out over time. I switch ti Avene trixera moisturizer for very dry skin and LOVED it! Highly highly recommend

Hi Sheri. Love your channel! Was stoked to hear what the dupe is-I’ve been using Avene for years - including the spring water sprays-and love their range. Haven’t tried this one so will be now!😊

[@kenn1936]

Thank you so much for doing this comparison. I don't blame you for not getting the larger pot of LaMer!!! You did well spending £100 !!! Now it is irritating your skin - what a shame, that was £100 wasted - ask for your money back, that is a lot of money !!! Drink plenty water too - it helps your skin 10 fold!!

[@donnajselle]

Thank you for this video! I have always wanted to splurge and try La Mer products but have been sad I couldn’t afford to; (ok-saying I’m sad is too strong. ☺️) I’m You’ve made me feel so much better that I have an affordable option to try!

[@minicoop54]

I LOVE LA MER!

[@Mollyjean2014]

Zinc Sulfate is a preservative and an irritant. It’s a chemical compound resulting from the interaction of zinc with sulfuric acid. There’s little research showing this to be beneficial to the skin. I have Rosacea so I’m very hesitant to use this. La Roche Posay’s Cicaplast Balm B5 has a better formula.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

I found the prescription medication Spironolactone to be very helpful for my rosacea. I took it for about three years.

[@linreid1272]

Thanks for pointing that out !

[@marilyn6556]

I excitedly bought LaMer years back thinking it would do magical things to my skin. I was woefully disappointed with it. I never even finished the jar.

[@yvonnehogue-ib2lo]

Nowhere near the same.

[@brabalans348]

French Pharma creams like Avène, Bioderma, Uriage, and all similar either thermal or pharma brands you can find in French pharmacies are all really good quality and really well priced too. Consistency wise and how the base formulation is made up between the Cicalfate and the La Mer can also like here be seen as somewhat similar. But that is just the carrier part of the creams, a k a what makes up the look and feel of the product. Cicalfate is a good cream for sensitive and barrier impaired skin. La Mer however has its secret broth and it’s very strange manufacturing process that makes it still a very unique cream which will not be duped by Cicalfate apart from a similar consistency when initially looking at them. They do behave quite differently on the skin however. And La Mer when activated by heat sinks in in a unique way and if you believe in the miracle of the broth or not is up to you. But many people do and keep using La Mer for years and swear by good results. And no one has really been able to prove the La Mer product to be just a hype though many have tried… it is however insanely expensive. And it does contain fragrance which some people are sensitive to. Not everybody though. The La Mer is also considered to be an active skincare product which also may render reactivity on sensitive skin just like retinol or acids or peptides can do. But purely moisturising creams like Cicalfate usually don’t. But if all you want is a similar consistency and a cream that is good at healing your barrier and is kind to your sensitive or reactive skin then Cicalfate or any of the very similar creams and balms that can be found within the Avène line like Xera Calm AD or Toleriance balm are all really good and high quality for the price you pay. ❣️

[@yvonnehogue-ib2lo]

I will use La Mer till the day I die. Been using for 25 years and my skin is great.

[@MaikoMichelle]

Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful wisdom! I've been learning so much from you. I started purchasing the Osmosis line from Leah about 1.5 years ago thanks to hearing about it from you! I've been using the StemCell, Rescue, Renew & Catalyst. I love the line, but feel like I haven't seen a noticeable improvement in my overall "inflammed" 52 year old skin. I do thing the Retin-A and sun damage from previous years took a toll on my sensitive skin! I was just about to repurchase the Rescue, but I wanted to ask you if you have something you've found to be much more reparative than the Osmosis Rescue for epidermal repair? I've seen a noticeable different in your skin these last few months, so I'm going to try and implement some of the things you've been recommending! But if you had one suggestion for me to remove/add in, what might that be? I really trust your advice -- since it's CLEARLY working on you!! Any suggestions you may have would be GREATLY appreciated! 🙏🏼 xoxo ♥

Thanks Sheri…. Going to buy some tomorrow. Enjoy your next cruise

Maybe all the fragrance added to La Mer is to cover the algae smell? I could see that irritating skin that’s sensitive to it. (Though I wouldn’t know because I was never willing to spend that much.)

[@katha_kf]

Thank you. I just bought it in France, for only Euro 7.40!

[@stjohnbaby]

In the late 80s ,I was working at I.Magnin Stanford,as an MUA,and used to see and talk to Max Huber,the creator of La Mer,A wonderful man,who always talked about how he created it.He would do personal appearances there.Back then the size you are showing,went for $90.00.He also used to hand out generous samples.

I bought LM and it caused my skin to breakout. Now I'm using it as a cuticle cream and to shine my shoes.

[@MyCleverHandle]

So good to see you Sheri! For some reason, KZbin dumped you off my subscriptions list. You wouldn't think a viewer would have to audit KZbin, but...I might have to retry Avene again; I tried the Toleriance facial lotion awhile back and it caused a rash. It might have been because of the scrumptious fragrance - a common irritant for my rosacea - so I'll be reading labels a lot more closely this time. But I know Shelby Wilson recommends the Avene cicalfate products too, with her baby's peaches-and-cream complexion, and you use quite a few actives on your lovely skin, so it's worth another try. Hope you're enjoying all your travels!

[@jeanetteh.9240]

The prescription medication Spironolactone really helped my rosacea.

[@MyCleverHandle]

​@@jeanetteh.9240Thank you! But I also have a cardiac condition that could be adversely affected by Spironolactone. I can't just jump into anything new without considering that first. I'll have to ask my cardiologist next week.

What most people do not know is the algae ingredient that they use in their products is so low on the ingredient list that you don’t get it’s full benefits. The ingredient list is very basic. Company has changed since it’s changed ownership years ago.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I agree, I have many skincare products that are pricey BUT the ingredients and performance justify the price for me personally. The ingredients don't justify the price of Lamer and well I never really got to test it very long since it broke me out in red blotchy hives. I have never heard a Dermatologist recommend Lamer either. 💜

[@isoldel9313]

i love my la mer too and I try all dupes😅... have been using it for 18 years or so since college, it healed all my acne scar back then. I do feel like the product was better from like 18 years ago. After 30 you need to pair it with the concentrate. With all being said, la mer for me is just basics for the skincare. I use it on the days when i don't want to use any acid, otherwise I use my skinceuticals and retinol.

I purchased the Avenue Cicalfate Restorative Protective cream and I get mostly a watery liquid from it. It feels like a moisturizing liquid but I was expecting it to be a cream as you showed. I have tried shaking and massaging the tube and once or twice it has come out as a cream. Is this typical or did I get a faulty tube?

Wow I just noticed that I own this product!🎉 Hopefully it will help with the irritation under my eyes. I have been using the Peace Out retinol eye stick and unfortunately became irritated.
