Is La Mer, the Lifting Face Serum Really Worth All that Dough?

I absolutely love the fact that my uncle works with really rich clients in New York, because once in awhile these people literately hand him gobs of goodie bag filled with all sorts of unused products that they no longer want lying around. Basically this was exactly how I got a full bottle of La Mer, The Lifting Face Serum.

I knew from past experiences with La Mer that I really, really loved the stuff. The last product I used was a cream, that I discovered cost the price of a week long vacation. Yup, that magic $1,000+ Creme. The downside was of course that once the cream was all used up, there would be no way I would ever be able to purchase it on my own.

I wondered if La Mer The Lifting Face Serum, would be the same deal. Would it work magic, and then end up being so expensive I couldn't purchase it?

Yes and no.

The price of La Mer The Lifting Face Serum comes to around $250.00. However if I desperately needed it, I could find it for $23.00 online in a very tiny trial sized travel bottle. Although you won't get a whole lot in the travel sized bottle, do note that there is enough to use daily for around 1 month.

My Use/My Results:
 
I have been using La Mer The Lifting Face Serum for over a month now, and figured I would share my results (or lack of) with curious consumers who are looking for a cure to wrinkles, and aging on their face.

Now the serum itself has a pleasant smell, its nothing toxic, but at the same time nothing that will really woo you. At any rate its non bothersome, and a fresh scent. The serum does absorb rather quickly, but leaves a bit of a sticky texture behind. The stickiness however is short lived, and you can begin to apply your makeup on top of it shortly afterward.

I have been using the serum on my skin mostly on my forehead to try and diminish a small fine line. I also have been using it on my cheeks to try and shrink some pores.

Sadly my results were not really noticed, in fact my skin pretty much looks the same as it did when I began to first use La Mer The Lifting Face Serum. Others have claimed to see wondrous results; for me though this was not the case.

The price does not justify these lacking results, so I will stick to my cheap $15.00 serum of Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which is like having botox in a bottle.
