La Mer reinvents The Renewal Oil

The iconic Maison doesn’t only care for the beauty of the face: La Mer also pampers the body – heels, cuticles, dry areas such as elbows and knees – with the same meticulous attention and highly anticipated formulas.

What follows suit is a Dry Accelerator, which is a spray that reduces drying times while also helping to reduce frizz and damage caused by UV rays, adverse weather, and heat.
Finally, the collection closes with a protective mist ideal for hair that craves for pampering and hydration. It is meant to be vaporized on the locks for an unprecedented boost of brightness and protection.
