La Mer

From the boundless surge of the sea to the deepest sources of skin’s vitality, La Mer creates a dynamic current between youthful rejuvenation and the energy of life itself.
Our 50-year legacy of bioenergetic science began when Dr. Max Huber, an aerospace physicist, suffered burns in a lab accident. 6,000 experiments and 12 years of searching led to the epiphany of a lifetime — he perfected the art of fermentation, turning the self-regenerative force of Giant Sea Kelp into Miracle Broth™.
Flowing through each of our icons and innovations, this singular elixir amplifies skin’s energy to help visibly reverse age — activating a youthful look from within.
Since joining The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995, La Mer has become the world’s most coveted skincare brand.
