Sun-drenched skin can take on a dull and lackluster appearance, and after a quick trip to the Maldives my face literally feels thirsty. With fast hydration as my beauty order of the day, I turn to the La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream, the lightweight sequel of the cult classic Crème De La Mer. This marine-enriched formula acts like a shot of moisture for the face without leaving behind a hint of residue, making it an ideal candidate for oily or combination skins.
As the story goes, Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, was left with burns when an experiment went awry. He set out on a quest to create a cure and was intent on harnessing the powers of sea kelp to treat his scarring. After harvesting the nutrient-rich marine ingredient, it underwent an intensive bio-fermentation process for four months, treated with pulses of light and sound. After 12 years of tweaking his nutrient-rich formula, Dr. Huber perfected his Miracle Broth™, a vitamin-enriched and anti-oxidant-fuelled moisturizer to help regenerate and heal the skin.
After the success of the original formula, the line has expanded with different variations of texture. There is a serum, lotion, and gel, yet it is this soufflé-light cream that gets my vote.
