CREME DE LA MER

I bought this product is because of I have been hearing a lot of miracle stories about this product,either the history of this product or the effect.
This product is created by a scientist who burnt his face accidentally in a experiment,after that he did a lot of research,trying hard to create an ointment for himself.One day ,he walked by the beach,he saw the fishermen`s hands were hurt by the net,but the fishermen can heal fast,after thinking and research he found out condition is because of seaweed.As a result,he used seaweed in his ointment and lastly this product was created,so touch right ~!


The product claims that as you pat onto clean, dry skin, you will instantly feel the soothing effects of the broth. Smooth over your face, neck, even under the fragile eye area. Apply day and night – for a lifetime.
I copy and paste directly from the official website,heard like there is some marketing strategies inside.

Ingredients: Seaweed (Algae) Extract, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Petrolatum, Glycerin, Isohexadecane, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Extract, Microcrystalline Wax? (Cera Microcristallina), Lanolin Alcohol, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Eucalyptus Globules (Eucalyptus) Leaf Oil, Magnesium Sulfate, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seeds, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Seeds, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seeds, Prunus Dulcis (Powdered Almonds), [sodium, Potassium, Copper, Calcium, Magnesium, And Zinc Gluconate], Paraffin, Vitamin E Succinate, Niacin, Beta-carotene, Decyl Oleate, Aluminum Distearate, Octyldodecanol, Citric Acid, Cyanocobalamin, Magnesium Stearate, Panthenol, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Alcohol Denat

The ingredient list really long right?From the ingredient list we can see that the active ingredient(seaweed) is  the first in the list,but the sad thing is the second ingredient is mineral oil,which can clog pore and cause blackhead and acne,so this may not be suitable for acne prone skin ,but there is a gel cream type or lotion type also,no mineral oil.Other than that,petrolatum,lanolin alcohol and the other lipid containing ingredients have the potential of clogging pore also.

However I very like the packaging,the container is porcelain and comes with a spatula so the cream won`t be contaminated.The product can last for two years after the first opening,is considered quite a long time.Another really special thing about this product is this is hand made.

This product has a very unique perfume smell,some of you may feel like that is an old women perfume smell,my brother told me that when I let him to try this.

The cream`s texture is quite thick after spreading out you will feel like there is a layer on your skin,may be sticky at the beginning of applying.(base on the amount u applied)However,the next morning you will feel the cream is absorbed and you may even feel dry the next morning if you sleep in an air-cond room.I don`t experience any miracle effect after using this but this works well when your skin is irritated,it can calm your skin down.The promoter gave me the gel type sample,the gel type works on me,the next morning you will see you skin pumps up and glows without any oiliness.

There is a special method to use this cream.Before putting this cream on your face,warm this cream between fingertips,when you see the cream melt,then pat it lightly on your face.This is a crucial step because warming is required to release the active ingredient.

Pros:soothing,work for some of you

Cons:causing blackhead and acne,smell(individually),extremely expensive,sticky

Overall I quite disappoint with this product,I feel like I only buy the story behind this product,but I will try the gel type,that really suites me(combination skin)
