Ive always had very nice skin, so didnt bother taking much care of it, now since I am turning 64, I need a little more. I got a lot more with La Mer. I can only afford to wear it the days I work, and I do look forward to using it under my make up. I put it on,wait a minute or two, and its absorbed and feeling wonderful with elasticity. Nothing else has felt this good, plus Im allergic to almost everything. Even some of the little ones at work ask me if I am a grown up. I love this. I am ready for my next jar, never before have I ever used something all the way to the bottom. Going to grit my teeth and buy another jar, Im worth it.
