La Mer

Named after and inspired by the healing power of nutrients found in our oceans, La Mer's famously secretive formulas have won its beauty products legions of loyal fans. Shop our curation of moisturisers and lotions to discover why the brand has reached cult status. At the heart of all La Mer skin care is its trademarked Miracle Broth - the result of 12 years of research and some 6,000 experiments. Derived from hand-harvested sea kelp, founder Dr Max Huber unlocked the regenerative powers of this ingredient when he began searching for a remedy for burns-damaged skin after he suffered a lab accident. Among our La Mer range at Selfridges you will of course find Créme de la Mer, the iconic product that helped launch the label. With regular use, this moisturising cream aims to visibly restore skin's radiance. Our selection of other renewing skin saviours also includes lip and eye products as well as the brand's make-up collection. Look for SPF-infused formulas and multi-purpose concoctions.  While it might be that what's on the inside is what really matters, these cosmetics boast a luxury look. Packaged in green or white casing with a tonal or silver lid, they're worthy of display on any bathroom shelf.
