you should've so much more subs and views. As someone who has worked over 20 years in the high-end skincare industry...I can assure you it's ALL marketing. Not just La Mer, but all luxury brands. What they really sell is an "illusion" - most people think if it's expensive it's also more effective. To be fair, the majority customers buying these skincare products are wealthy and don't know where to spend their money, or they buy it just so everyone can see the jar in their bathroom. It's about prestige and showing of your money.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve also heard some people say that we should pay high for skincare so basically buy high end because it is “better quality” and that the ingredients that they use are very good as opposed to the drugstore. Is that really true? Or we still pay for the “brand” for priced skincare that exists?

@QManagerin

@@kiranveerkaursidhu610 most drugstore skincare brands are produced by the same companies in the same facilities as the high-priced prestige brands, the ingredients only slightly vary. The higher price is mostly marketing, packing and of course you get bigger samples, have gifts for your costumers, free service etc. as you correctly said they often pick an ingredient they claim is special and patented but with no evidence behind it. Helena Rubinstein has "Edelweiss" stem cells, La Prairie uses caviar and gold whatever sounds expensive. I tried almost all of them (because I got them for free) and I can tell you, they're all just glorified moisturizers - the price is not justified. I personally use a retinoid and sunscreen...

Omg i love this. I laughed so hard throughout the critique. Though I am now in science, this totally reminds me of my college days in critical theory in college. (Basically analyzing the heck out of everything written, published, marketed, and sold. You're great, keep making these!

I am so grateful for the video you made being completely transparent about skincare - even though I knew the truth about it all, I still sort of fed into the marketing of certain brands. As you explained, the reality is that the majority of skins issues are solved by a very simple process. First, by addressing internal health (dehydration, hormonal imbalances, diet, alcohol, smoking/vaping, medications that impact skin appearance, etc) and then looking at external factors that impact skin health (intense exercise, current skin regime, weather, sun exposure, pollutants). From there, all the issues can be easily addressed using OTC skincare ingredients and medical grade products. No one needs to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on multiple products that do the exact same thing! I'm grateful I saw your video, because it serves as a very important message in our consumerism culture. I'm excited to see your future content! :)

This is amazing. Thanks for being so genuine!! Also, after watching your retinoid video I bought differin gel and I'm so happy with the results. Thank you.

I always go for a tube or a pump with my moisturizer to keep it fresh ( no air and no fingers in the product like in a jar ).

Yeah, it's basically the classic Nivea creme (the one in navy tin) plus this algae extract. So, basically, if you get the Nivea tin plus some algae toner/essence/serum (e.g. Marine Hyaluronics from The Ordinary or Algae Toner by Whamisa - there are likely more, these two I can name from the top of my head) you get effectively the same thing but for 20-30€ every couple of months.

No they aren’t similar. Their first ingredients are different. Nivea cream is not a facial moisturizer either. Now rich people don’t use this stuff. They are marketing for the company for little people to waste their money on a product that is just a nice moisturizer. You can get one just as nice at the drug store. But Nivea cream is water based as it’s the first ingredient on the label. La Mer’s first ingredient is algae. So not the same. Not one bit. And no, again, rich people don’t use La Mer. Most luxury high end things rich people do not buy or use. It’s ruse to get the rest of us to spend our money. Rich people have other means to get far better products than La Mer.

Wow 😂 I can’t express how much I loved this video! You are hilarious and I am so glad that all the marketing BS is being called out finally 😂 Subbed!! Please do more of these videos!!

You're like the male version of Dr. Dray 😄 I love it!!

😂 This reminds me of something one of my friends told me a few years ago: she bought a tub of this stuff and it made her break out quite horribly (which I’m now thinking may have been because of the lanolin). So she went back to the ‘skincare consultant’ to complain, and they sold her another super expensive product to supposedly deal with this “rare but known issue”. 😂 Now what I want to ask you (but I suspect I already know the answer) is whether eye cream is just face cream in a teeny tiny container.

Thanks for your video! Good job 👍🏻

Everything else aside, I'm dying @ the wrestler announcement bit. ❤ On topic, I got a wee tiny (like 1 gram?) size bottle of it as a sample-with-purchase deal... I was SO excited because all I knew was "people love it" & the general idea that it's "so bougie" & out of my price range. Then I used it, & each time I tried it broke me out with like a freckling of shallow pimples. Miraculous bummer.

Thank you for the very entertaining breakdown of La Mer. Please do more content like this!

Finally KZread algorithm recommend me a AWESOME chanel! Keep it up with the amazing videos!

The majority of its price is due to the exclusivity tied to them, I say. I heard the experience of purchasing their products used to be very boutique-like or something but then again this was often the case for many luxury products. Another thing I heard is that La Mer's sale in the west has decreased despite the overall increase in sales for La Mer and this is because most of the purchases was made in Asia, specifically in China. This is only something I heard but I say this sure explains the increase of exposure of celebrities using La Mer products in the past 3~5 years.

I found your channel from this La Mer video. I used to only use drugstore stuff like Neutrogena and no-name genetic brands. But as I started to use KZread more, I started to see people using crazy expensive skincare products and it's almost like if you don't use it, you are not "with it" enough. I have worked in an environmental testing lab and in finance so the science and finance side of me see through the BS. But the imaginary/hopeful side of me wants to believe there is a magic broth or quick solution. I also found that there are a lot of 'get-rich-quick' videos/books/products on financial freedom. It's almost like the 'magic cream' for finance. I have worked with companies that give stock options (including NFT type of companies) and most of the time, stock options go to zero. the options will only be valuable if the company makes it. also in finance, you tend to get a taste of luxury settings (ie. people giving you invitation to VIP events and chocolate with gold flakes on it etc.) and you suddenly feel poor because I can't afford to do these things everyday yet I feel like I should aspire to it. it's exactly the La Mar lifestyle experience when you work in finance. and many of my high finance friends suffer from mental illness. I do agree that "passive" income is important. I also went to Imperial College London for a course (I started to follow you on LinkedIn - Stella P. Tsa is me). Thanks for your videos. I feel like my brain is suddenly more clear from your videos. Eventhough I have a MSc. Finance degree but I never aimed for the highest paying jobs in finance (private equity/investment banking) like my classmates with the same degree. I aimed for world-saving jobs like sustainable investing /endowment fund jobs that don't pay well. my next career step has to be something that pays the highest possible for my education, something I am good enough at and doesn't make me mentally/physically ill over the long-term.
