Using It:

Use a TINY amount to wash your face. A little goes a long way with this foaming cleanser. Keep out of the eye area because it feels more irritating than usual there.

La Mer The Cleansing Foam Review:

Oh child, have I got some opinions for you. I got a mini-sized version to try it out. I love the La Mer creme for its ultra-moisturizing properties, and trust me you will need it if you use this cleanser.

With everything from quartz powder to pearl powder and sea salt in the ingredients list, you would expect this product to feel high-end. After all, that’s all supposed to leave you scrubbed and glowing and the humectants will seal that glow, right? Unfortunately, not quite.

It feels and smells a bit like your typical cheap motel soap. It pains me to say that, but it’s true, and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about if you’ve ever had to use cheap soap. While the cleanser left me squeaky clean, my skin felt absolutely parched and tight every time I tried using it. And I still had traces of makeup left over somehow!

For the price, it gets a big thumbs down. There are so many great cleansers on the market, this one somehow missed the mark. Maybe it’s meant for extremely oily skin?

  • La Mer is not cruelty-free, so it’s a thumbs down in my book.
  • It has many comedogenic and perfuming ingredients, from lauric acid to linalool. Not ideal for sensitive skin.
  • The qurtz, nephrite and pearl powders provide a great additional abrasive scrub power!
  • Contains seaweed extract, in line with the La Mer miracle broth promise.
