La Mer is synonymous with luxury in the world of skincare, offering a range of products celebrated for their transformative properties and indulgent formulations. 

From their iconic moisturizers to serums and treatments, every product is powered by the legendary Miracle Broth™, designed to rejuvenate and restore the skin. Loved by celebrities and beauty enthusiasts, La Mer promises a radiant, hydrated complexion—but with most price points starting at 3 digits, is it the ultimate skincare splurge or just clever marketing? 

Naturally, our team put the skincare collection to the test to bring you all the details you need to know before safely swiping your credit card.

Firstly, what is Miracle Broth™? 

The Miracle Broth is a combination of a few different ingredients:

1. Giant Sea Kelp – Provides hydration, promotes renewal, and helps protect against environmental stress. 

2. Lime Tea Extract – Protects skin from free radical damage and environmental aggressors.

3. Fermented Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins: Vitamin C, E, and B12 are often cited as part of the blend.

Minerals: Magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron enhance skin's health and resilience.

Role: Fermentation boosts bioavailability, making nutrients more effective for the skin.

4. Eucalyptus and Alfalfa – Supports skin's natural repair process.

The Fermentation Process

The ingredients are bio-fermented for 3–4 months, allowing them to transform into a potent, nutrient-rich blend. Fun fact – they actually ‘sing’ to the fermented kelp because sound energy helps the plant cells ferment better. Cool!
