La Mer is an investment… yes… it is pricey… but this face is the only one I have… and lets face it… with time… a little help here and there is ok… I first discovered the miracle that La Mer is when my friends told me that it may help with the redness and dryness I was experiencing. I was very skeptic… I then went and met the lovely Tosca… yes, she is named after the opera! She helped me out and since then… I have been using La Mer and my fierce skin is back to normal… she never pushed any items my way… no pressure… I got my samples… tried them and then went back to buy them. I am now a believer… Now, if only I could afford to buy more stuff… hmm! PS — It is NEVER too early to take care of your face… nor too late… moisturize!
