La mer – Highly concentrated for beautiful skin: Vitamin C and Ceramide Serum

Active ingredient serums play a central role in skincare when it comes to targeted and particularly intensive care. They contain highly concentrated ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin to optimally unfold their effects. Whether hydration, anti-aging, skin soothing, or glow – there is now a suitable serum for almost every skin need, whose inner qualities ensure external beauty. Another advantage: Their pleasantly light texture makes them easy to integrate into any daily care routine and successfully supports the skin in becoming and maintaining a healthy, radiant, and balanced appearance.

When the North Sea meets high-tech cosmetics: With the wrinkle-reducing Bakuchiol Serum, the plumping Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and the skin-refining Niacinamide Serum, La mer already has three high-quality and effective serums in its range. Now the expert in marine cosmetics is expanding its line with two new, innovative active ingredient serums based on the latest scientific findings, exquisite ingredients, and the proven natural powers of the sea. The Ceramide Serum and the Vitamin C Serum combine highly effective ingredients in highly compatible, fragrance-free formulations that are ideal for sensitive skin and demanding care needs.

The new Ceramide Serum has an intensely soothing effect and strengthens the skin’s natural protective function. As with all La mer products, the core of the formula is sea silt extract, which provides the skin with lasting moisture and strengthens the skin’s barrier. It is complemented by soothing ceramides that protect the skin from external irritants. The skin’s own lipids fill the spaces between skin cells and ensure that the skin is less permeable to harmful environmental influences. As they are a natural component of the skin, they are highly compatible and therefore suitable for all skin types.

6,000 times more potent than vitamin C, 770 times more potent than Q10, and 100 times more potent than vitamin E: The active ingredient astaxanthin, sustainably sourced from the green algae Haematococcus pulvialis – a microalgae found in freshwater – is one of the most powerful antioxidants known. Under stressful conditions (e.g., UV light or dryness), the algae produces large amounts of astaxanthin to protect itself. This natural protective mechanism is used to extract the antioxidant in a particularly pure form and utilize its beneficial properties for skin care. The orange-red carotenoid pigment protects the skin and neutralizes free radicals that arise during stress, excessive UV exposure, and even „normal“ processes in the body, which have a negative impact on skin health.

Ceramide Serum

Another powerful ingredient in the Ceramide Serum is the unique Abyssine, an exopolysaccharide (high-molecular-weight polymers released into the environment by microorganisms) from deep-sea hydrothermal springs (Abyssal). This active ingredient, especially ideal for sensitive skin, comes from 3,000 meters below sea level, where life seems impossible, and soothes sensitive skin, relieves redness, and activates repair and regeneration processes. Abyssine increases resistance to mechanical and sun-induced aggression, protects the skin from UV damage, and reduces UV-induced skin redness. Moisturizing, skin-related ingredients complement the Ceramide Serum and round it out holistically. Medium-chain hyaluronic acid provides additional intensive moisture and plumps with a noticeable immediate effect, while squalane complements the skin’s natural hydrolipid film – for a completely protected and supple complexion. Squalane is a particularly skin-compatible active ingredient, a light, plant-based oil that is very similar to natural skin fat (squalene) and is therefore particularly well absorbed by the skin. It makes the skin supple and soft, instantly giving it a soft, velvety feel. Because squalane is non-comedogenic, it is also ideal for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. Like hyaluronic acid, it supports the skin in regaining balance and forming an intact skin barrier – gently but effectively.

The new Vitamin C Serum offers a powerful combination of antioxidant protection, intensive hydration, and regenerating care. It combines scientific expertise with marine power to deliver an effective solution for dull, stressed, and uneven skin tones. Increased radiance and an even complexion are the result of a multifunctional active ingredient complex that supports the skin on multiple levels: It protects against external environmental influences, stimulates cell renewal, moisturizes, and restores radiance to the complexion.

At the heart of the Vitamin C Serum is a particularly skin-friendly and stable form of vitamin C: 10% ascorbyl glucoside, a compound of ascorbic acid and glucose. This active ingredient has a brightening effect, so that acne scars and pigmentation spots fade with regular use and an even, clear skin tone is achieved. As a strong antioxidant, the highly concentrated active ingredient effectively protects the skin from harmful free radicals that destroy cell membranes, lipids, and proteins and are thus largely responsible for premature skin aging. The protective effect of vitamin C, the best-known antioxidant, is scientifically proven and works in two ways: firstly, it protects the collagen structure from damaging free radicals and secondly, it supports the skin’s own collagen synthesis, i.e., the production of new collagen. Vitamin C thus ensures an elastic and stable collagen structure that can withstand even greater tension and is less likely to tear. The formation of wrinkles is slowed, and facial skin stays smoother for longer.

Vitamin C Serum

Sourced from the North Sea, the proven sea silt extract is at the heart of all La mer products. It is rich in minerals, provides lasting moisture, strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, and forms a protective film on the skin. This keeps the skin hydrated and resilient against negative environmental stress. The seawater (Earth Marine Water) contained in the serum also has a mineralizing and balancing effect. It provides essential trace elements and gives the skin new vitality.

Caffeine is not only a popular morning pick-me-up, but also a real freshness boost for tired skin, perfectly rounding off the active ingredient combination of the Vitamin C Serum. A cosmetic all-rounder, it has anti-inflammatory properties, can reduce swelling, soothe redness, and stimulates microcirculation. Improved blood circulation makes the complexion appear fresher and more revitalized overall – ideal for tired, dull, or stressed skin, as well as dark circles under the eyes. Combined with medium-chain hyaluronic acid, which penetrates deep into the skin and provides intensive moisture, it’s a true game-changer. Hyaluronic acid also acts as a water reservoir, has a plumping effect, reduces dryness lines, and instantly provides a plump, smooth complexion.

Purity and sustainability in every drop: Like most La mer products, the two new serums contain no silicones, parabens, PEGs, paraffins, microplastics, or perfume. Their focus on pure, effective ingredients makes them not only effective but also particularly skin-friendly – ​​for visibly cared for, protected, and radiant skin!
