This next-generation advancement of one of La Mer’s most trusted icons helps calm visible irritation and strengthen skin against daily stressors associated with visible signs of aging. By helping reduce the visible effects of daily skin stress, The NEW Concentrate enhances skin’s resilience for a healthier-looking, more youthful appearance.

Clinical testing shows:

  • The appearance of visible redness is reduced by 34% immediately after one use1
  • Improves the appearance of skin firmness by 21%2

Formulated with The NEW Clarity Algae, it helps visibly diminish and prevent discoloration, revealing optimal clarity.

The result is a potent, calming serum that helps reduce visible signs of skin stress, strengthens skin’s resilience, and visibly soothes skin for a healthier, younger-looking appearance.

A new understanding of sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is no longer defined as a single condition. It exists across a spectrum, from persistent daily sensitivity to visible reactivity triggered by environmental stressors and aesthetic treatments.

Research shows that sensitivity is not only a source of discomfort, but a key driver of visible signs of aging. When skin becomes compromised, stress signals can weaken barrier function, disrupt balance, and accelerate the look of aging.

As a leading authority in barrier care grounded in a heritage of healing, La Mer’s pioneering research has led to a deeper understanding of these signals and how to interrupt the cycle of stress and response.

Bio-regenerative skin intelligence™: A neuroscience-inspired discovery

Inspired by neuroscience, La Mer scientists have uncovered new insights into how skin processes stress and internal signaling pathways that influence its response.

At the core of this discovery is Bio-Regenerative Skin Intelligence™, powered by Concentrated Miracle Broth™ to help skin adapt to daily environmental stress and reduce the appearance of visible signs of aging. While we’ve long known Concentrated Miracle Broth™ helps skin feel soothed and more comfortable, La Mer has uncovered new insights into skin comfort, reinforcing the skin barrier and improving skin’s resilience against daily environmental stressors.

By helping support skin’s resilience, it helps maintain a calm, healthy-looking complexion and strengthen the skin barrier against daily stressors, extreme environments, and aesthetic procedures.

Tone and clarity innovation

The Concentrate supports visible skin clarity by helping restore the look of even-toned, healthy-looking skin affected by daily stress. Powered by The NEW Clarity Algae, it helps reduce discoloration, promote a more even skin tone, and leave skin looking calmer. Existing discolorations are visibly diminished, while helping prevent new discolorations from forming, revealing optimal skin clarity and translucency.

Clinical testing shows The Concentrate reduces the appearance of post-blemish mark discoloration by 57%1

To provide further clarity and support, Lime Tea Concentrate, La Mer’s proprietary antioxidant powerhouse, neutralizes free radicals to help protect skin from the visible effects of environmental stress.

A precision delivery system

The Concentrate features La Mer’s Liquid Barrier Delivery System, meticulously crafted to help support skin’s barrier while delivering actives where they are needed most.

At the core of this structure is the Macro-Emulsion, engineered to create an inner and outer phase that optimizes both protection and delivery. The outer protective phase works with the inner concentrated phase, enriched with Concentrated Miracle Broth™ and actives, to deliver immediate comfort and targeted efficacy.
