La Mer

La Mer was created out of necessity when Dr. Max Huber suffered burns after a lab accident. He was compelled to treat and heal his skin. And we give props for his perseverance; 6000 experiments later and 12 years of research led him to what he was looking for. He discovered a fermentation process of sea kelp, that turned into a magical elixir which claims to completely transform the skin. The much-loved ‘Crème de la Mer Moisturizer’ retails at $510 for 100ml pot. Used to combat dryness, redness and wrinkles; it’s powered by a cell-supporting ‘Miracle Broth’ a secret formula created by the Dr. himself.
