Could you review brands like Juicy Chemistry, Earth Rhythm who might be duping customers by using words like clean and natural beauty.
*gurgles to you in pain.*
Review la prairie please
Yes at least DOT and KEY from India... and that The Minimalist.
These are Indian brands.
@@kimtae9329 actually 'clean' and 'natural' , these terms are for duping customers... every bloody thing on this is made up chemicals/ particles. An orange has citric acid which is a chemical.
For 500$ this moisturizer better wash all my sins away, fix my grades, and cure my depression...
Right!!!
YES‼️🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽
It has to be like “cream by david firth”
Stolen comment. How original.
SAME 😂
skincare should not cost 1/4 of rent. For $500, you can actually take care of your skin by visiting certified and ethical dermatologists and get well-researched medical procedures.
Edit 1: omg all 300+ of yall liked my comment thankssss. Also, Cassandra sis you hearted my comment, love you big sis.
That is true! You can work done at that point!
1/4 of rent? Where I live it costs as much or even more than the everage monthly rent 😂
That's a whole month of rent were I live.
I have roommates but $500 is more than my rent 💀 and my la mer samples broke me out with whiteheads.
@@BLiNGyourALARMclock omg yes me too 😂 And omg yes because it’s so occlusive like Vaseline 😭
The insane reason La Mer charges $500.00 for their moisturizer is because there are people everywhere with more money than sense!!
and that's ok....I dunno why such hate towards rich and unaware...(not talking about you;)..but the video itself)
@@MrCijuciju Because it doesn't take much effort to educate yourself. If nothing just visit a dermatologist (an ethical one). Besides I don't really think most celebrities actually use this bullshit on their face. They are just selling it and duping people because the brand pays them buttload of money.
@@darshitkoladiya you are not forced to buy it...again,why such hate towards foolish and rich ones.....one has to educate oneself...who even gives a f.what celebrities put on their faces....yup,tey're selling...you.don't. have. to. buy:))
@@MrCijuciju Why the hate? They influence buying decisions of hundreds and thousands of their fans. It's not specifically about this moisturiser, it's about a lot of other things. That bitch Gwenyth Paltrow for example. Their promotion of problematic products can actually affect someone negatively. It's not really about rich people too. It's about influencers with considerable following lying to sell a product. It's unethical (and at times illegal).
@@MrCijuciju It's not hate against people with money. It's about the audacity of some crook ripping people of who are gullible and trusting.
my daughter was having the worst episode of eczema and bacteria infection outbreak and i tried every single cream on earth including those super expensive tubes from doctors and nothing works. her face got so sensitive and i couldnt even see a patch of 'proper' skin left on her face, she was covered in cracks and rashes its so painful to see. in the end i tried la mer on her face and in few hours her skin looks less angry, so i continued putting it on her face for the next few days it actually cleared her skin out.. i was amazed!! By the way she's only 2 years old so initially i didnt think of using la mer on her.
Wow I did exactly the same with my 10 years old son and it actually worked, now I’m saving that cream for his breakout 😅
Good to learn from Cassandra though so I’m happy to try a new cream
@@megkuuu1 😂 me too! Always have a small tub set aside for her and I use it sparingly myself. 🥲
Did u try the dupe too? Maybe that will save u some money in the long run
Same thing happens to me! It’s very good for sensitive skin
Immediately after this I'm going to go to my medicine cabinet and scream turkey noises at my products for science, I will report back.
Okay, i laughed so loud that I scared my dog and my husband after reading this! Hahahaha!

I study Chemistry and attending Pharmacy school and we learn how to mix and formulate the products. I love to read and see the ingredients of any products. I always tell people who’s worried about cosmetic ingredients too much like this is bad! and that’s bad.. Oh girl please! Drinking alcohol and smoking are way more dangerous than putting 0.1g of cosmetic products approved by FDA. Some skincare influencers who talk about ingredients with lack of Scientific knowledge should not educate people. La Mer is very expensive and overpriced. However, they put one of the highest quality of ingredients with very expensive laboratory to create the products in order to have best quality. Think like a Chanel bag is expensive but why people are buying it? While you can buy a $50 in Amazon’s purse instead of a $5000 at Chanel’s ;)
@@honeyl4754 pls don’t bring overrated Chanel bag with freaking logo and it cost $5000🤣💀 seriously? You think people buy it because it’s quality? Nope! People buy that bag or any other fashion pieces because it shows that they wealthy that’s it. And the Chanel bag not worth $5000.

So nivea needs to come out with their own seaweed skincare cream since everyone is always comparing the two.
LOL... Nivea absolutely doesn't work for me... I tried, I cried.
Wait, Nivea has skincare?? I’ve been living under a rock.
@@silvia6790 what do you know nivea for if not skincare? Only shower products?
@@nctsgrass well, I didn’t know they had face care, that’s what I meant. I’ve always known them for their hand and feet creams, body lotions, etc.
@@ammasophia4663 Nivea Japan, thank me later
The first time I heard about this brand, as a French person, I thought that this was probably BS brand that tries to sound French. La Mer sounds so weird, (as weird as calling a brand "The Sea".) La mer also sounds like "La merde", pronounce the same with a "D" sound at the end, which literally means, the SHIT/POOP! No French would call a brand like this because of the risk of play on words...
Ohh 🤤😲🔥
Hahaha, good point 😅
Oui Creme de La Merde!
It's shit product, actually 😁 contains mineral oil and petrolatum, toxic for the skin.. these are main ingredients. So , basically fancy nivea for useful idiots.
Genius😂
Korean skincare in general has been using fermented seaweed in their formulation and doesn't cost as much as La Mer, and yet affordable and works.
There is a kelp gel moisturiser that is made in Northern Ireland that you can mix up with Nivea Q10 and make Creme de La Mer. Used to use this on my child's eczema and it worked a treat.
@@irestar6 that's a good tip. Mind sharing the name of the kelp gel? I suffer from eczema from time to time. I've been prescribed steroid cream. Would love to try other alternative.
@@88brokenglass I shall look it up as I've run out and need some creme de la mer now as I've run out of it and my Logically Skin cream has just more than doubled in price!!!!!
You can find algae/seaweed in even mainstream drugstore lines as well nowadays.
Ohhh, korean skincare soooooooo powerful and really cheap. Thats the only products i use. 100% recommended.
I'm Getting Strong Scientology vibes from this story, creepy as hell.

I was gifted some and it healed my acne scars from when I was a teenager. Somthing magic in that seaweed.
First of all, a jar of La Mer can last for up to nine months. Secondly, my personal experience is that it works exceptionally well. I’ve used La Mer since the 70s and my skin looks amazing. People think I am 20 years younger than I am. Are used to apply it to my children’s sunburn skin and it soothed the pain immediately. It’s very expensive but it does work. I usually get a jar as a Christmas present from my husband and I’m always thrilled.
Wow thank you so much Laura, may i know which product do you use? The cream only or any other products as well?
@@May-ig4wr for a few years I’ve been using an amazing product at night called Ojai Dirt Candy CBD Face Moisturizer. It’s available online
Thank you so much Laura for replying. So do you still use La Mer?
@@May-ig4wr I haven’t since I started with Ojai Dirt Candy. Is much more affordable and I really like it.
“Every time a rich kid gets scammed, an angel get’s his wing” - Fyre Festival tweet
LMAO 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sadly, I think a lot of people buying la mer can barely afford it, just poor people scammed with marketing
and? LoL
I totally forgot about that! 😂😂
I’m naturally sceptical about products with an excessive price tag, but as a native french speaker, when they have a fancy french name without being from a french company, it earns a side-eye from me. I see what you’re doing, product.
yessss. They really be using our language to fool the masses
That's also a pet peeve of mine. The use of French to made things look or sound fancy is snobbish and I find it insulting. Not a tribute but more of a "positive" ridiculing of our language.
US fancy neighborhoods imitate British estate names, too. So...let's rename this La Merde.
@@KentuckyLiz 😂😂😂😂😂😂 j’en peu plus oh nonnnn
Oui! I'm fancy.
See? I can do it too.
Years ago, before Dr Drey and before I “turned and learned”, I would spend hundreds of dollars on the little green jar eye cream. Jars and jars of it. It irritated my eyes....snd I thought it was just the product working! That’s why my eyes hurt snd my skin was red, bf I figured the miracle broth was doing it’s thing. I was a fool. I will say though, it felt nice to add this really fancy thing to my skin care regimen.
You, Hyram and Dr Drey changed my life through your videos. I found some amazing products that have completely changed my skin. And given me more confidence to look people in the eye when I speak to them. So thank you for all your hard work. You’ve helped changed my skin and given me more confidence in my life.
I’m fully aware of the ingredients list. I stay away from a lot of those ingredients in my skincare. But no matter how much I try to deny it, the la Mer foundation is the absolute best foundation I have ever used. Nothing makes my skin look as good as that does. I don’t use the la Mer skincare, and have no intention to, but once I was given a sample of the foundation... I haven’t looked back. People try to shame me all the time for liking it. They call me stupid, or blind, or whatever else. Many of these people who ridicule me for loving it, have never even tried it for themselves.
I really like Bobbi Brown’s serum foundation if you haven’t tried. I’ve tried La mer too and like it but it can be a little thick for me sometimes.
Same with the cream. They haven't used it either. People just hate on it because of the price which isn't nearly as costly as what she's saying lol
@@ariellasmakeup7709people are stupid and envious that they don t have the money to buy la mer products
Which is nobody s problem and who give a fuck?!
Just don t buy it 😂
I hate when people think that just because skincare products are expensive that they are better all the time. (Not talking abt this product, I haven’t finished the video yet)
You're absolutely right
I mostly use Cerave and Korean products and I don't have any product that cost more than 15$
And let me tell you, everyone asks me how my skin is so clear
No it's not genetics because I used to have really shitty skin
I've calculated all my products and how long they last me and I pay 12$ every month for a whole skincare routine
I know alot of girls who spend like 50$ every month and their skin doesn't even look ok
@@ragh9014 how do you only pay 12$ every month for a whole skincare routine? What do you use?!
@@emi6416 Prob because cerave products are huge and can last you for months and korean skincare is usually super cheap aswell.
@@emi6416
A tip: wait on sales to get korean products
But if you cannot wait
You can get some simple products
Like the cerave lotion that has more than 400ml lasts me for a year and it costs 12$
La roche posay cleanser that has 400ml also lasts me for a year and costs the same
Divide that into 12 months
Every month I pay 2$ for a moisturizer and a cleanser
Add a good sunscreen
Korean ones cost around 10-13$ and last your for 2-3 months (btw I use one gram of sunscreen everyday so I'm not trying to make it last or whatever)
Divide that and it'll be around 4$ every month
Add treatments:
For example the niacinimaide serum from the ordinary is the bomb and it costs 6$
It's going to last you for 2-2,5 months (every morning use it once)
This is around 2,5$
You can add an exfoliant for example the Paula's Choice bha 2%, which is very expensive but it's so stromg that you don't need more than 1-2 times a week
It's going to last you around 6 months
Divide 30$ into 6 months
Your monthly payment would be 13,5$ every month and you have a very good skincare routine
I have done this for the last 2 years and now I'm updating to korean skincare because it's the BEST
But, I wait on sales
For example Stylevana had a 70% off of their make prem sunscreens which has 200ml!!
They also had alot of sales so I bought alot of things and I only paid 25$ (I bought like really alot of things)
@@emi6416 with me using the things I got on sales I would be paying less than 10$ for very, very good products
Just try to shop in a smart way and remember, the best skincare routine is very simple
No need for any luxurious products that cost 50$
What I got from this is:
1. Put on my T.O NiacinamideZinc serum
2. Mix algae into Nivea and apply it on top
3. Badabing Badaboom
Correction : must add sing to the nivea cream before application :p

Honestly why are people so obsessed with celebrities skincare habits, they look young an beautiful because of lighting, editing, make up and great genetics. Not because of what they do to their skins, clearly the go to bed with me series made this clear, they don't know what they are doing for the most part.
They can also afford to go to dermatologists regularly for deep cleansings and extractions etc etc. That's way more help than a product can ever be.
@@nelaor where I live estheticians and derms are not that expensive. But that's a good point as well they get regular treatments by pro.
Because of associated glamour. They think if they use the same stuff, they will somehow glean a fraction of the celeb's beauty and glamour, or at least earn bragging points. It's just how humans tend to be psychologically, there is a great tendency to magical thinking. It is hilarious that people even think celebs have much better skin than normal people, often they DON'T. But pro MUAs, amazing lighting and professional image altering are involved with all of the interaction we have with them, unless we actually run into them IRL, which few of us will ever do.
@@circejanuary I need to move places then lmao
@@Ke1ko7 in Portugal. It's really common to go to the esthetician. Not so much derms so they always are available and aren't as expensive as in other places. Also you can get tretinoin at the counter, most pharmacist don't care, they tell you don't go in the sun and that's it.
imagine the amount of sunscreen they could've bought with that money
Lol exactly
Naw, they’d still apply it on like Gweneth Paltrow lol
2 bottles of korean ones
@@stephb124 how does she apply it? Lol I’m lost 😭
@@potat19 SPARINGLY!!😖
Preservatives can be added to products including fermented ingredients, they are just added in smaller amount, as the ferments also preserve. I love La Mers way of making a multiuse product that you can use all over your skin with good results. It's worth trying you know. Not so expensive in the end as one product is used in miniscule amounts and replaces also eye, night and body cream. Tested and loved by moi. ✌🏼🤗
I’ve always wondered about these ridiculously expensive skincare lines-like Sisley-Paris, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Macrene Actives, as well as “la prairie.” Your video was incredibly informative. Please keep up the great dedicated work you do, we’re so appreciative of it. Thank you!💜
Our La Mer brand trainer also told us that after his accident he noticed that the fisherman by the sea in the sun always had thick rough skin everywhere except their hands because always in the water - and that’s why he started studying the kelp properties. I love how the embellished details differ from brand trainers themselves 😂
He's obviously never met a real fisherman. They have working men's hands, rough and in winter, often a mess from the harsh wind and saltwater. I really dislike people who make bullshit up about working class people they've clearly never associated with in their entire lives, and are probably scared of.
Sounds like SK II essence marketing to me.
Most fisherman wear gloves.
Do La Prarie next! It’s even more of a rip-off. They claim to have caviar in their creams as if that will magically help
Yes! Please do la prarie
La Prairie is hilarious shit.
Back in 2007 in Selfridges in London doing the rounds of the beauty hall as I'm now on maternity leave, pregnant and bored. I have to admit that I was using Creme de la Mer, BUT and BIG BUT, my cousin was working for MAC at the time and she got a 65% discount off all Lauder companies' products so the £965, the huge jar only cost £340. And it had a two year life from opening and it really did last the whole two years and I was liberal with it too. So it was working out at what £14 per month. And I could use it as an eye cream. So I felt that for how liberally I used it and basically an all in one solution it works out at good value. And those who work on the La Mer stands are expected to use all of their products and buy them at the discounted price too, not free!!!
But back to Selfridges and the La Prarie stand. I'm doing the rounds to get the free samples as we've all done and I have an ingredient issue. I'm allergic to cucumbers. Deathly allergic, even as a skincare ingredient, it will cause my skin to blister. And I tell each person at each stand this and make it very clear. They were the stand that didn't bother reading their ingredients and weren't hot on letting me read them as I've been studying cosmetic chemistry for about 20 years as self interest with my autism so know when I'm being sold a pup but also the Latin name for what I'm allergic to etc...
And the girl is about to swatch some stuff on my hand and the other older lady comes screaming over going NOOOOOOOOO it has cucumber on it as it touches the back of my hand and my skin starts to hive up. Got a free 60ml of La Mer out of the managers so that I'd not sue because she clearly hadn't read the ingredients after I'd been incredibly specific and didn't understand the ingredients of the products she was hocking to people.
This actually drove me to start creating my own serums as I could order the chemicals like HA and Vitamin C and make fresh serums for people basically mixing rose water and glycerin with the targeted ingredients. And as Vitamin C was totally unstable at this point you'd get only a month's supply. My child went to nursery on a local inner city estate behind Kings Cross and I sold to the mums there. It cost me £3 to make including the bottles so I sold it to them for a £5 and the rich people in our building happily paid £20 and thought they were getting a bargain!
Yes please do! 🙏
Yes I second this!! I would love to hear a back story about that as well
I’ve always wondered!! My aunt used to buy it and give me and my sister facials with it - mega lucky - skincare is such a lovely way to bond. It smells AMAZING. Needless to say I have not had a La Mer pamper session as a frugal adult 🤣
I love this video! Best NO-BS explanation of product information I have ever heard! Thank you for your candor.
Thank you so much Cassie. Never loose sight and yourself, we need you while we're losing many influencers and beauty gurus from too much commercialism and capitalism and narcissism. We need expertise and knowledge so some of us who have insecurities and need tips can make informed choices.

Thank you for this video! I always walk by the La Mer stand in Sephora with distain and curiosity, now it'll just be distain!
La Mer is the Emperor's new clothes of skin care. Even if I had that amount of money, after listening to you and the other legitimate skin care experts and well educated enthusiasts, I can now make more informed and cost effective choices. THANK YOU to you and Hyram and James Welsh!!
I love how you tell us whole back story, marketing and historical evolution of a product, trend, ingredient! Thank you for doing that, I learn so much from all of you doing it online helped my skin when noone else could!
Stumbled across this, and you. Where the Hell have I been that I've missed you? Brilliant. Helpful. Usually, even with skincare gurus who I like, I do a lot of fast-forwarding. My trigger finger was ready, but you held me with a really charismatic and warm presentation and diligent research. I look forward to playing catch-up in your video library.
I’ve use dozens of different facial creams, both cheap and expensive ones, almost all the common brands you can think of, even La Pairie ($500+), I stopped exploring until I tried La Mer. I don’t know if it’s worth the price but it feels really good on the face! I’m dying to find a cheaper substitute.
Have you found one yet? Because I haven’t.. lol
I totally relate to LaMer 's philosophy. When I apply Peptides, I play Hard Rock music to give them that extra power punch, the antioxidants prefer sexy salsa music and dimmed red lights. I want to incorporate The Ordinary's 30% AHA & 2% BHA and here s my problem, should I play disco music with flashy lights ( maybe this is too much and the acids will freak out ? Or classical music so the acids remain relaxed and wont irritate my skin ? ) Anyone suggestions plzzzzz
Hilarious!!!!! Seems like a consultation with a psychic is the best way to figure it out.
I could come sing for you. Costs you another 500$
Acid jazz?
I hear Mozart while I apply my acids, should work for you!
All acids need some good "acid rock" like Incense & Peppermint by the Strawberry Alarm Clock. A strobe light & some swirly colors in the background help too.

Fascinating, you’re doing so much good, thank you so much for dispelling the myth that we need or should aspire to purchase ridiculously priced items such as this that may not live up to its reputation built on marketing rather than effectiveness, believing they will do everything they claim.

😂 actually they replicated NYC water because its behind what makes pizza tastes so good.
I suffer from acne & i have oily skin. I really learned a lot from your vlog very educational.
Thanks for being honest with us❤
Do something on Elemis please!
You got me with psychic part ...never would hv imagined! 😂😂
I love you so0o much. You have no idea how much you have educated not only me, but I appreciate everything you talk about. I'm proud to say that I'm part of you beautiful butterfly community. Thank you for sharing 💕
I use their range and it has worked wonders on my skin, I'm 34 with kids... My hair might be turning gray and falling out, but my face has zero wrinkles, scars and pimples.
I use their original cream, intense eye balm, despite what people say about eye creams, I like their texture and smell.., I have the face mist which is perfect for summer, their lip balm and rejuvenating serum. I have a small jar of the oil which I mix with my moisturiser during winter. Their concentrate is good for my random dry patches I get during hay fever seasons.
It is expensive no doubt but it does what I need it to do.
FINALLY ITS HERE LOVE U CASSIEE
I have been waiting for this 🙌
I swear you are my self care. You are just the best girl!
This video is amazingly done!!
Thank you so much! continue with this I sopport you!!
this makes me want a series some sort of historical skincare docuseries
Hi Cassandra, Could you please do a video on Murad?
La Mer products's price tags are definitely high but every brand has their own clientele. When you buy luxury products for any reason (you have money, you want to show off or whatever), you know for a fact you pay mostly for the marketing/the brand name. If the brands are expensive and the products are bad, they wouldn't have survived for that long. I used La Mer soft cream and that was the only moisturizer that calmed my redness/irritation from tretinoin instantly
Same for me. I use the original LM cream and it’s the only thing that will fix my irritated skin barrier from tret use. I also love the oil. My skin is always glowing the next morning when I use them. Also I don’t know why she says it’s $500, I think a small jar is $90.
@@ALT-vz3jn $90 version is a smaller container than $500
So you dont use as regular moisturizer?? Only for calming after tret?
Vaseline is the best thing after tretinoin. Pure Shea butter is good too. Any thick occlusive moisturizer will work but Vaseline is the best occlusive
Vanicream would've done the job and for under 10 dollars. You're sheep 🤣🐑
Thanks a bunch 💖✨ you’re amazing, cass
Every time I thought the story couldn’t get stranger, it definitely got weirder
Can you show us your skincare routine?
Also you are so beautiful and knowledgeable❤️
Love you Cass! Loved the video , can’t wait for more
I don’t understand how these prices are possible!! Thank you for sharing
Please expose LA Prairie and the expensive Growth Factors like skinmedica
La Prarie actually works wonders as well as Sisley!
Hi Cassandra! I would be super curious if you tried la mer products for a month just to see what it would be like. I know were all skeptical of them but I think it would be very interesting to see what they would do and if they stand to their claims if tested!
I don’t recommend it for acne prone skin like hers. I also have oily skin and it broke me out horribly. Definitely better for mature dry skin!
It made my cystic acne worse. Broke me out like craaaay and felt super greesey on oily skin
This is a great point. As someone in the industry, I can tell you that it takes skin a full month (at least) to turn over new cells. Also it's a moisturizer, so it's only supposed to do 2 things: hydrate and calm (the seaweed). They only added the anti aging claims wt Estee, who has an even more expensive serum.
I very much enjoyed this video 😁.Thank you Cassandra!
Thank you for finally doing this video 😊
ooo you should do la prairie
Thank you Cassandra for breaking down the urban myth surrounding La Mer! Can you please review Erno Laszlo skincare created by Dr. Laszlo almost a century ago. He was the progenitor of modern skincare science. I think you'd find the history fascinating too!
I am so happy that you’re telling the backstory because I already know it and it’s wild. Enjoy the ride everybody it’s a good one. PS I love your honesty in your channel keep it going.
Thank your soo much for sharing
I didn't expect this video to be so wild but lmaoooooooo
I mean, at my aunts yoga studio they do sing mantras to the water and the facial oils they sell and it still costs no more than 15$ so it's not an excuse when you don't even manually do it at LaMer😂
La Merde 😂
@@SunFlower-jr2qh lmao that's a good one 💀💀
I am sitting here with two lamer products on my face, I can either believe your bs or look at my face which after just one application looks amazing. I’ve been using these products on and off for 15 years nothing comes close. Trash it all you like , the product has stood the test of time for a reason.
She never said the product itself sucked and surely didn’t „trash“ it.. she said, based on the ingredients, it wasn’t worth 2000$. Also, she simply stated the facts about the brands story. That’s it. She didn’t attack you or anyone who uses the brand personally at all.
Thankyou!!!! for doing this review
