A bit strong perhaps?

First, I LOVE La Mer. The original cream, the tonic - irreplaceable and genuinely skin-transforming. But this dried my skin out and gave me a few spots. This lotion has a gorgeous, almost addictive texture. Heavier than the tonic, it is like a heavy water, or watery oil. The scent is also sublime. And it did brighten my skin somewhat, and made subsequent serums, creams, etc, sink in beautifully. It played well with everything. In the Summer months I could imagine using this as serum and going straight onto cream, spf, etc...And yet whenever I used it I noticed after a couple of days that my skin was drying, becoming sensitive, and, yes, breaking out into a few spots around the chin.Such a shame as texturally this is gorgeous. I know I am in the minority, and as I ... MoreFirst, I LOVE La Mer. The original cream, the tonic - irreplaceable and genuinely skin-transforming. But this dried my skin out and gave me a few spots.

Must-have in my Lamer collection

I have got really big problems with my skin if I'm getting stressed out, it goes red everywhere and itching badly. I reduced these symptoms by half when I was diagnosed with the food allergy, but it still was there and gave lots of pain and discomfort. I was feeling embarrassed going out and most of the time was wearing sunglasses, so to hide the imperfections of my skin. I have been using this lotion for more than 10 years and never stopped. Travel size is always with me. Even when my skin mega sensitive, the treatment lotion doesn't burn the sensitive areas. So it works very gently. For me it works perfectly.

My favorite step in my LaMer skincare routine.

I'm a La Mer devotee and I've used La Mer products for about 5 years now. I only use La Mer products for my skincare routine. The Treatment Lotion is my MUST HAVE product. I cannot say enough about this one. It's my favorite step in my skincare routine. It preps, energizes, and moisturizes my skin so delicately and effectively and because of the effectiveness of the line, I'm able to walk around the house for hours and even all day after applying this product without even moving forward to my next step which is a serum. I suffer from atopic dermatitis and normally very dry/dehydrated skin. I've been dealing with these skin issues since childhood. I have tried many brands ranging from Chanel to Olay over the years, but none of them have ever been able to continually ... MoreI'm a La Mer devotee and I've used La Mer products for about 5 years now.

I have tried many brands ranging from Chanel to Olay over the years, but none of them have ever been able to continually improve my skin and keep it balanced (not dry/dehydrated), clear, and glowing like La Mer products. This product is so super amazing....all La Mer products are amazing and they are on a whole other level when it comes to skincare. La Mer products heal the skin. They transform and go way deeper than any other skincare line on the market. As for price, I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for! Focusing on the fact that these products (all of them) are super concentrated and a little goes a long way makes them worth every penny. A key fact is proper use of these products eliminates waste!

Perfect for Sensitive Skin

As someone with sensitive skin, finding the right cream can be challenging. SISLEY Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream has been a game-changer. It’s incredibly gentle yet highly effective in moisturizing and improving skin texture. My skin feels softer and looks more radiant without any irritation. The pleasant rose scent and the luxurious feel of the cream make it a delight to use daily. It’s definitely a splurge, but the benefits for sensitive skin are undeniable.

Skin Hydrator

I absolutely love The Treatment Lotion. Think of this as a essence toner, the first product that goes onto the skin after cleansing and exfoliating (personally, I don't use toners) that floods skin with plumping hydration to prep your skin for on coming products. A shake or two into the palm of the hands, press into skin, neck and chest for instant plump, supple and dewy skin or layer it multiple times in the same way for a total glass skin effect. It has a perfect texture, more viscous than water that allows slip to massage into skin but instantly absorbed leaving the skin feeling like silk, I also find because your skin has something on it rather than just being freshly cleansed, other products such as serums and moisturisers go even further as less product is ... MoreI absolutely love The Treatment Lotion.

It has a lovely spa like scent which I find comforting, energising and also calming, I always insure to inhale the scent for application. If you don't like scent in your products, do not be put off, once applied the scent instantly disappears. The packing is very heavy and well made adding to a luxurious experience and looks beautiful on one's vanity of beauty cabinet with its striking signature La Mer green colour and its metallic cap. Theres not much more else to add in this review, you will surely love it.

worth it for most: results and luxe experience

I’ve heard so much about La Mer and have tried small samples before so I was excited to try the treatment lotion. As we all know La Mer is not cheap so I wanted to make sure I applied properly so I went to the website for instructions of use.I’ve heard so much about La Mer and have tried small samples before so I was excited to try the treatment lotion.

I used this as first step and although it feels like a moisturizer it does give the skin a tight feeling, so I can understand how it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It does feel luxury to use for a liquid lotion, though it’s not as fluid as “Laneige Cream Skin” it’s a bit thicker in viscosity. My skin does feel moisturized and hydrated from the beginning of the day until the end. I’ve used this product for about a week and a little goes a long way (even though I feel inclined to use a lot for the sheer experience) This is a very hydrating lotion that you can use as a base for other skincare products.

💚 Great for sensitive skin 💚

For reference, my skin is combination, sensitive, and 'over' reactive, so I have to be extremely careful with what I put on it.A few months ago I had a bad time with a cleansing balm which stripped the life out of my skin. I was left with tight, red and sore cheeks in particular, and needed some serious help.Over night, I used the La Mer Treatment lotion alongside my usual evening moisturiser, and by the morning, most of the redness had gone and my skin was feeling much less angry than prior to it.I think that with continued use, I will see a really great benefit from using this product, and would recommend to anyone who has reactive skin like mine.
