Brandefy compared the Crème de la Mer Moisturizer to the Skin Rich Moisture Cream. Here's what they had to say:
La Mer is $180 for 1 oz, while Versed is $18 for 1.5 oz. *While these two products are rumored dupes on the internet, we would argue they are not ingredient dupes at all. They only share Glycerin and Vitamin E in common. We do think the Versed is a great alternative for people who have sensitive skin but want to give a cream a try. Versed contains hyaluronic acid which is great for dry skin and it is considered a clean product. La Mer, on the other hand, while being a cult favorite, has several ingredients that are bad for sensitive skin such as citric acid and eucalyptus. La Mer is also not recommended for people who break out frequently and/or have oily skin. If you LOVE La Mer, we recommend you stick with it (hello, that intoxicating smell). If you have dry skin, but sensitive skin, Versed may be a great alternative for you. La Mer has an EWG score of 6 while Versed has an EWG score of 2. Our reviewers felt Versed had no scent, while La Mer has its signature baby powder/perfume scent. Additionally, Versed is slightly thinner and absorbs faster than La Mer.
