Review

Results you may expect from using La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.7 out of 10.
  • Soothing: La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.4 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.7%), Glycerin (est. ≈3.1%) and Algae Extract (est. ≈2.4%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Copper Gluconate, Asparagopsis Armata Extract, Caffeine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Glucosamine, and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Algae Extract (est. ≈2.4%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Sucrose (est. ≈1.0%), Copper Gluconate (est. ≈0.3%), Zinc Gluconate (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
