I bought La Mer last year at age 24 (I'm 25 now) and after using it for a month did not notice anything special about my skin. I usually have good skin with occasional pimples but now that I'm pregnant, I am starting to break out with hormonal acne and can't do anything about it since I am afraid of putting harsh stuff on my skin that could get absorbed into the bloodstream and affect my baby.
Anyway back to La Mer, having wasted more than CAD $250, I thought I would give La Mer a try again and have been using it religiously for the past month. Again, no change to my skin, in fact I think it's adding to my hormonal breakouts. I will have to stop using it and shelve it till I turn 35, perhaps it will help then? Who knows?
Meanwhile, I got a Neutrogena Cleanser (not acne one) and now am thinking of what moisturizer to get that won't clog my pores and won't make breakouts worse.
