Review, as asked for by Gaby :)
There are a few questions surrounding this product as it is one of those that most people have heard of, yet few own, i put this down to many not fully understanding what it is for.
Creme de la mer is a rich moisturising cream consisiting of a 'miracle broth' formulation. The creator suffered serious burns when a bomb exploded in his face, and created this to help heal the scars. It contains sea kelp amongst other things which is renowned for its properties.
I've been using this cream for almost a month and i have nothing but good to report.
As a moisturiser: If i'm using this as a facial moisturiser, i use it after a strong cleanser, scrub or mask when my skin feels particularly parched. You need the tiniest amount, which needs to be warmed in the palm before being applied to 'activate' the miracle broth.
The cream applies smoothly and feels slightly greasy for 5 minutes or so, but it then sinks in leaving the skin soft and smooth.
As it is such a rich cream i was concerned i would break out, but this has not been the case.
As a scar cream: Craig has a large scar on his arm ( a little smaller than a 5p piece ) from where a hot water bottle leaked, he used the cream twice and the scar is less red, it has smoothed out and is much less noticeable.
I had 2 scratches from playing with our kitten, i used the cream once, the next day the scratches had almost vanished.
Also, i have 2 scars on my face, one from a dog bite, one from cracking my head open when i was young. Both of these have noticeably diminished.
Overall: I am so impressed, and will definitely repurchase. It is not cheap (the smallest jar is around £95) but to me it is worth it... I also wonder if it would help with things such as stretch marks... hmm!
Just after applying. Slightly shiny but no obvious oiliness
The amount i use for face and neck
