WHO WAS DR. MAX HUBER?

Dr. Max Huber was an aerospace scientist that suffered a horrific accident - a routine experiment exploded in his face, covering him with severe chemical burns. Neither science nor medicine offered sufficient promise of help, so Huber decided to help himself. Twelve years and 6,000 experiments later, he perfected the crème that would help give skin a dramatically smoother appearance - Crème de la Mer.

WHAT IS CRÈME DE LA MER'S MIRACLE BROTH?

The highly potent Miracle Broth™ is the heart of Crème de la Mer. A blend of sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, lecithin, iron, Vitamins, C, E and B12, plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower go into the broth, but its "miracle" lies in the way these ingredients are combined - a process called biofermentation. This 3-4 month process results in a whole far greater than the sum of its parts, with the power to transform the skin's appearance.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT CAN I USE?

Credit cards accepted:

- American Express
- MasterCard
- Visa
- PayPal
- Afterpay
- eGift Card

We're sorry, we do not accept:

- Personal Checks
- Money Orders

Important information:

- For your security, your billing name and address must match that of the credit card used for payment. We reserve the right to cancel any order that does not match these criteria.

WHY IS MY FAVOURITE ITEM UNAVAILABLE?

Decisions to discontinue or introduce a product or size are made in response to consumer preferences and purchasing patterns throughout the country. Contact a La Mer Expert and we are happy to assist you in finding a suitable alternative.

CAN I ORDER FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA?

Cremedelamer.com.au accepts orders for delivery within Australia. For orders to be shipped outside of the Australia, please visit our Store Locator.

IS THERE A SPECIFIC WAY I SHOULD APPLY THE CRÈME?

Yes. To activate the Crème's Miracle Broth™ and to release its key ingredients, warm a small amount between your fingertips. As you pat onto clean, dry skin, you will instantly feel the soothing effects of the broth. Smooth over your face, neck, even under the fragile eye area. Apply morning and night.

I CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER I AM LOOKING FOR.

Please contact us at 1800-661-392 and we will be happy to assist you.

WHAT IS THE WAVES DE LA MER LOYALTY PROGRAM?

By joining the Waves de La Mer loyalty program, you’ll enjoy radiant rewards and exclusive perks, including a celebratory surprise on your birthday. Points on purchases can earn you full-size editions of our most-loved luxuries.

HOW DO I JOIN WAVES DE LA MER? DOES IT COST ANYTHING?

Once you have an account, you can join the Waves de La Mer loyalty program by signing up at www.cremedelamer.com.au/loyalty-program/waves-de-la-mer and following the prompts to register. There is no cost to join Waves de La Mer.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO JOIN WAVES DE LA MER?

The Waves de La Mer loyalty program is available to individuals who are legal residents of Australia and at least 18 years of age or older and who provide and maintain a valid email address. Employees of The Estée Lauder Companies and individuals employed by our business partners or vendors are eligible for membership for personal use only but may be excluded from certain program benefits.

WHAT AM I AGREEING TO BY JOINING WAVES DE LA MER?

By becoming a Waves de La Mer loyalty member, you agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Waves de La Mer Terms & Conditions and by the terms of our Privacy Policy and by any changes or modifications we may make.

WHAT TERMS GOVERN WAVES DE LA MER?

Please refer to the Waves de La Mer Loyalty Program: Terms & Conditions of Participation for the full list of program terms.

HOW DOES WAVES DE LA MER WORK?

Waves de La Mer is a loyalty program that rewards customers for purchasing La Mer products and participating in certain brand experiences on the Site. It is a tier-based program determined by the number of points a member has earned within a single year on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date when you enroll. There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:

  • Tier 1, Marine           0 – 749 points
  • Tier 2, Aqua Marine          750 – 1,499 points
  • Tier 3, Ultra Marine          1,500+ points

When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Tier 1 (Marine) and be eligible for all the benefits Tier 1 members receive. If you earn at least 750 points in your first year, you’ll be automatically moved up to Tier 2 (Aqua Marine). If you earn 1,500 points or more in your first year, you’ll qualify for Tier 3 (Ultra Marine).

Your status in a particular tier is good for the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to earn enough points to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2 (Aqua Marine), during your first year, you’ll maintain Aquamarine status during your second year. But, if you earn less than 750 points on eligible purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Marine status on your second anniversary date.

The higher the tier, the better the benefits.

WHAT BENEFITS DO MEMBERS RECEIVE?

As a member, you earn points that determine your points benefits plus tier levels and tier benefits.

Points Benefits: Starting at 1,000 points, you are eligible to redeem some or all points for full-size product rewards.
