As a beauty director the one single question I'm asked without fail at a dinner party, wedding, during a routine check up at the doctors or even at the village fete is: does Crème de la Mer really work?

My answer is always the same: yes, but you have to commit to it. It's on the pricier side, that's true, but on the other hand you hardly need much during each application. Just a tiny little bit, warmed up in your finger tips and then padded onto the face. My 30ml tub has lasted over six months in the past. And the best part of it is, it comes in so many different fluid types now that there is one for every skin type. The gel is my favourite at the moment in this warmer weather for the evenings, and the oil absorbing fluid for daywear. But it's all in the commitment. If you really are going to use Crème, you have to use it every day and you will honestly get what we call in the biz, "Crème de la Mer skin".
