Im 2 years older than you. When I went to buy it, they told me the gel version would suit my skin better. Its the same as creme de la mer, except its for oily/combination skin. If you have dry skin, get creme de la mer. If you have oily/combination skin, get gel de la mer otherise known as the moisturizing gel cream. and OMG...I LOVE THE CONCENTRATE!!!! if you have acne scars,it helps with that. It has a higher concentration of the miracle broth that is found in their moisturizer. You aren't too young for creme de la mer.However, for products like La Prairie, yes...you are too young. and it lasts a LONG TIME!!!!! dont rub in. pat it on your face. I made that mistake at first.
Mommy dearest bought it for me. She will do anything to make sure the girls like me lol. =]
And I love the story of La Mer. It was created by an aerospace physicist who suffered sever burns from an experiment, It took 12 years and 6000 experiments and he made the miracle broth which helped his skin. If it helps chemical burns, it will make skin perfect. =] It's founder, Dr. Huber, and Dr. Perricone actually inspired me to want to create my own skincare line. and I want it to be sold in Saks and Bergdorf Goodman, not CVS lol. cant wait.
I do have to admit, at our age, its a bit much lol. oh well. I try to perfect my skin too.
HOWEVER!!!! I recommend the Clarisonic. GET IT!!!! It improves the effectiveness of all cleansers!!! and it can be used as a shaving brush to apply shaving cream. It was the best investment I made. My mom wonders how I get great skin. baha. Buy it online instead since its hard to get the Clarisonic Pro outside. The best version you can get at a store is the Clarisonic Plus. Plus its cheaper online.

If your parents wont pay for it, do what I do when I really want something. I go and buy an online visa giftcard and an online vanilla mastercard from cvs.
