I received this product for free from La Mer for testing and review purposes. The scent is the first item i noticed and omg it smells absolutely amazing! I used it day and night and it made my skin feel so soft and bouncy! I have since purchased a bottle of it. Highly recommend! MinaO215 · sephora.com

If you're considering this moisturizer, get it now and let your skin thank me later! This is my essential, go to moisturizer. I've tried tons (I do a lot of product testing) of products, and this one has remained my favorite. My skin loves it. It's softer, smoother, and overall more vibrant when I use this. This is non-greasy, doesn't cause shine, and is lightweight. It doesn't clog my pores. I do ChaosButCute · ulta.com
