Sacre Bleu!

Recently I had the opportunity to test La Mer, The Cleansing Lotion ($65). SacrÃ© bleu! My interest has been piqued since many celebs swear by this uber expensive beauty product. JLo bathes in La Mer. Kimmora Lee Simmons allegedly slathers the cream all over her body. It's one of Madonna's anti-aging secrets. But for $65, it had better be manifique! The Cleansing Lotion derives its remarkable...read more cleansing power from magnetized tourmaline and La Mer's exclusive Deconstructed Watersâ„¢. These positively charged waters enable this cleanser to thoroughly, yet tranquilly draw dirt, debris, makeup and pollutants out and away from the skin without harsh rubbing. Formulated with non-detergent ingredients essential to maintaining skin's delicate moisture barrier, the cleansers are so gentle, they will not upset the complexion, even with frequent use. The Cleansing Lotion is ideal for normal to dry skins and gentle enough to remove eye makeup. This versatile formula may be rinsed or tissued off. My skin isn't the baby-soft body glove that I was born with. As I've aged, my skin gradually has become thinner and finely wrinkled. Oil-producing (sebaceous) glands have grown less active, leaving my skin drier. Menopause and the lack of estrogen has created a face drier than the Sahara Desert, so I was delighted to give this a test-drive. I know that a gentle cleanser would be advantageous to my skin care routine, but is La Mer Cleansing Lotion worth the price? The Pros: La Mer Cleansing Lotion doesn't contain any strong soaps, which can strip oil from skin, leaving skin dry. La Mer Cleansing Lotion doesn't contain any additives, like perfumes or dyes, that can irritate skin. La Mer Cleansing Lotion has a lovely floral fragrance. La Merâ€™s Cleansing Lotion does not require harsh scrubbing or rubbing. The Cons: Price Price Price I repeat, sacrÃ© bleu! Outrageous price! Brains on Beauty: Without breaking the bank, good cleansing choices include anti-aging Dove Pro-Age, Cetaphil, and Purpose. Although they might not feel as luxurious as La Mer Cleansing Lotion, all three cleanse your face as well as this product. A better return on your investment would be to purchase a quality moisturizer. Bonne journÃ©e! Beckie

Good for gently, morning cleansing

This is the perfect cleanser for VERY dry and sensitive skin. It's not harsh at all, so it can be confused with a "not-clean" feeling after using it. It does feel like you have lotion on your face after rinsing, but I just recommend a few extra splashes of cold water. Once you pat dry, your face feels just fine. I prefer to use this cleanser in the morning when I'm not having to wash make-up off.

Booooo

It doesn't get the dirt out and I didn't care for the scent. My skin felt greasy after rinsing. Another suggested use is use as eye makeup removal by tissuing off. I usually don't wear eye makeup and will update the review if I do use it for that purpose.
