Keep calm with La Mer's The Concentrate

A magic potion that soothes as well as it strengthens.

Raise your hand if you get a kick out of waiting to see skin-change results. Okay, we rest our case. Although we’re all for staying cool and being patient, it is not everyone’s strong suit. And the truth is, there are skincare products that promise immediate effects don’t benefit our skin in the long run, and at the same time, some active ingredients only start working to their full potential a few or two weeks later.

Whenever stress makes my combination-oily skin blotchy – not to mention break out – that’s my cue to turn to La Mer’s The Concentrate. I’ve been using it for years to ease irritation and eradicate redness when my skin decides to act up. With the Concentrated Miracle Broth blend remaining the core ingredient, the powerful serum is said to offer speedier results, strengthening the skin’s natural protective barrier in merely two weeks.

“We see that Miracle Broth enhances barrier recovery, helps boost the production of filaggrin got support optimal barrier structure and function, it aids in reducing irritation and also protects against environmental stressors, which are a root cause of premature visible signs of ageing,” says Dr Jaime Emmetsberger, PhD in Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology, La Mer’s Lead Scientist.

In case you don’t already know, you apply The Concentrate after toning, followed by The Treatment Lotion and moisturiser. As expected, the velvety, lightweight yet remarkably potent serum disappears as soon as it’s smoothed onto the skin. It contains a range of skin-loving natural extracts, such as Lime Tea Concentrate, which shields skin from external stress-induced inflammation, and ferment derived from marine sources, which soothes inflamed skin. Naturally, the addition of the Concentrated Miracle Broth ensures the best possible condition of repair and eliminates the appearance of obvious irritation.

And then there’s the multi-functional The Eye Concentrate, which strengthens skin to give the appearance of youthful, healthier skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. The dual-action cream helps to moisturise the skin around the eyes and protect it from environmental stresses. It contains amino proteins, clarity ferment, and Concentrated Miracle Broth, among other ingredients.

Indeed, the formulation will not alleviate your daily tension and worry, but it will at least ensure that you still look fantastic regardless.
