If you have not been lucky enough to be invited to try the The Essence of La Mer, perhaps you might be satisfied with another recently introduced cleanser in La Mer's skincare line.
The Cleansing Fluid uses marine oils, magnetised tourmaline, ionising sea salt, pearl powders and sea algae essences to deeply cleanse the skin. As The Cleansing Fluid is massaged into the skin, magnetised tourmaline, a gemstone, creates a piezoelectric effect that converts the massage action into energy, thus improving circulation and revitalising the skin.
Tourmaline further helps by eliminating the need for harsher cleansing materials; the Cleansing Fluid dissolves makeup and impurities without disrupting the skin's natural balance. In addition, La Mer's Deconstructed Waters technology delivers nutrients to the skin efficiently by breaking down the molecular structure of water into energy-carrying positively and negatively charged molecular clusters.
When The Cleansing Fluid is combined with water, the ionising sea salt releases beneficial negative ions, and the skin is infused with vital minerals as the oil transforms into a milky fluid. The restorative pearl powders and sea algae essences finish it off by softening, nourishing and conditioning the skin.
The Cleansing Fluid works as both an oil and rich emollient lotion, effectively dissolving waterproof makeup but still gentle enough for sensitive skin and the delicate eye area.
The Cleansing Fluid is designed to be used in conjunction with La Mer's Cleansing Gel, Cleansing Lotion or Blanc de la Mer Cleansing Foam, and costs $550 for 200ml.
