So I already have one thing to add to my worst purchases of 2018 and it's this lotion.  Womp womp :( I really wanted to like it, especially since it was a ridiculous $260 for this lotion.  Yep, isn't that insane?  Luckily I had some thank you points from my Citi credit card so I did not pay that much out of pocket.  But then I think of all the things I could have spent those points on and it makes me sad.  But on the bright side, I get to let all you acne-prone people know to stay away from La Mer.  And that's because their top ingredient (and what they're known for) is Algae (seaweed) extract.  And that is a pore-clogging ingredient.  *facepalm* . Of course I should be checking ingredients before spending so much money on something.  But guess I'll have to learn this the hard way.

Anyway if you have normal, not acne-prone skin this is actually a pretty great product.  It left the parts of my skin that didn't break out soft and helped my makeup from feeling too greasy during the day.  It's not a primer, but just a mattifying lotion.  Is it worth $260?  No, I don't think so even if your skin doesn't break out easily.  You are definitely paying for the name and the hype.  But if you tend to have combo/oily skin that doesn't break out easily, and an extra $260 lying around, sure it's great.  As for me, I'll stick with my cheap(er) but non-comedogenic lotions.

Anyway I'm selling this lotion, used about 7 times, at 75% off here.  Since it's a pump mechanism, the lotion inside hasn't been exposed to the elements.  So if you're interested in trying La Mer at a deeply discounted price, here's your chance!
