This coveted skincare journey helps skin reach its vital potential – a look of extraordinary clarity, radiance, vitality, and youth.
What It Does: Carefully hand-crafted in limited quantities, this intensive skincare treatment addresses virtually all visible signs of aging. Nurtured for 21 days, skin emerges looking younger, more luminous, refreshed, and restored.
This artisanal formula was engineered to allow skin to rest and rejuvenate its appearance, created with potent ferments working together to visibly transform the complexion.
With the Dormancy Ferment, The Essence creates a virtual “cocoon” suspending skin in a state of calm so it can focus solely on natural repair. A concentrated infusion of Miracle Broth™ immerses skin in its soothing powers, fueling it with the energy it needs to regenerate a look of youth. Awash in pure sea botanicals, skin looks more radiant and revived with each passing day.
How To Use: Each precious ampoule is designed for one-week use and contains an internal magnet that encloses The Essence’s formula in a constant magnetic field. Shake well and smooth six pumps of The Essence onto clean skin day and night in place of a regular serum. Massage is not required. Follow with your La Mer moisturizer.
Key Ingredients: - Miracle Broth: The Essence floods skin with La Mer’s legendary Miracle Broth™, the cell-renewing elixir unlocked via a natural fermentation process that brings skin back to its healthiest looking center. The priceless, time-honored elixir encourages skin to regenerate a look of youth. Immersed in the energies of the sea, skin is transformed as never before.
- The Dormancy Ferment: The Dormancy Ferment is derived from a true sleeping beauty, a floral bulb that hibernates through the bitter cold of winter and awakens after a season of self-preservation. Inspired by the behavior of this enduring flower, skin is virtually suspended in a state of calm so that it can focus on natural repair.
About La Mer:
La Mer’s journey began in the 1950s when Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, suffered burns in a lab accident. Inspired to unlock the legendary healing powers of the sea, he developed the cell-renewing Miracle Broth™ elixir after 12 years and 6,000 experiments. This fermented blend of sea kelp and other ingredients helped transform the look of his skin, and it is found at the heart of every La Mer product today.
In 1995, La Mer joined The Estée Lauder Companies, and since then, they have become one of the most coveted skincare brands in the world.
