La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream, $150 Fact: La Mer is the crème de la crème of moisturizers. Also true: It's way too heavy (not to mention spendy) for most of us. While this newer version isn't any cheaper, it is a lot lighter and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. Plus, it still contains all the luxurious ingredients of the original (sea kelp, vitamin C, vitamin E). Now, if only they’d do something about that price ...

I tried a 14-day sample of La Mer Moisturizing soft cream. Was not impressed. I even went to my local La Mer cosmetic counter to ensure proper application. Did not make my skin hydrated at all. Disapointed.
