Erno Laszlo, a famous skincare brand used by the likes of Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie O, has been around since 1927.
The founder of the brand, Dr. Erno Laszlo, prescribed skincare routines for his clients and introduced the double cleanse to Americans. It's kind of funny to think that Caroline Hirons claims to have made the double cleansing method popular when it has been in America before she was born!
Interestingly, before Erno Laszlo introduced his oil cleanser and bar soap duo, most American women would use cold cream to remove their makeup (think Pond's cream). Dr. Laszlo was indeed ahead of his time, just imagine what he would say if he saw how commonplace the double cleansing method has become all over the world!
In addition to the double cleanse, Dr. Laszlo specially formulated products to treat the skin concerns of the elite. From American celebrities to princesses in Europe, the rich and famous flocked to Dr. Laszlo for his unique products.
Fortunately, Erno Laszlo skincare is now available to the public, and we can all enjoy the fantastic creations of Dr. Laszlo. The brand is now sold at high-end department stores and Sephora, with mostly the same formulations as the original products.
Erno Laszlo (the brand, not Dr. Laszlo) was kind enough to send me a few products to test and review, and I have been loving everything they sent.
Before you continue reading this post, please note that Erno Laszlo products are pricey. This is a luxury skincare brand, and the prices are quite high. If you enjoy luxury products, then this is the post for you!
Let's get right to the products...
>>Hydra Therapy Foaming Cleanse<<
The Erno Laszlo Hydra Therapy Foaming Cleanse ($50) is a very rich, creamy cleanser that is perfect for dry skin.
If you do suffer from dry skin, you may know how hard it actually is to find a hydrating cleanser. Most cleansers on the market are formulated with harsh ingredients that completely strip the skin. This cleanser is so nourishing, and the fragrance reminds me of the spa.
Key Ingredients:
- Shea Butter- super nourishing and rich in fatty acids
- Rice + Pomegranate Blend- hydrates the skin, gives it a glow, and acts as an anti-oxidant
- Marula Oil- healing and moisturizing
The cleanser itself is thick and creamy (that's what she said!), but it washes off the skin very easily. I noticed that my skin felt smooth, hydrated, and healthy when I started using this cleanser daily. I even noticed a glow to my skin that wasn't coming from my other skincare products!
I am overall really impressed with this cleanser, and I love that they included rice in the ingredients list. As a long-time K-Beauty lover, I have found that rice in skincare does wonders for my complexion. It helps keep my skin smooth, bright, and my pores tight. It really does bring the cleanser to a whole new level.
10/10 I recommend getting this cleanser if you want hydrated and bright skin.
Ingredients:
Aqua (Water/Eau), Myristic Acid, Glycerin, PEG-20, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Glyceryl Stearate Se, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ethylhexylglycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Chlorphenesin, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Tetrasodium Edta, Urea, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Alanine, Glycine, Magnesium Aspartate, Punica Granatum Bark Extract, Butylene Glycol, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Creatine, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Linalool, Limonene.
>>Hydra-Therapy Boost Serum<<
The Erno Lazlo Hydra-Therapy Boost Serum ($108) is the most unique serum I have ever tried, and I'm a beauty blogger!
The serum has a gel-like texture, but if you look closely, you will see that there are actually drops of all throughout the product. The beauty of the serum is that there are oils suspended in the gel so that they are activated only when applied to your skin! The gel deeply hydrates your skin while the oil droplets deeply nourish your skin at the same time.
Key Ingredients:
- Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil- hydrates and nourishes the skin
- Crithmum Maritimum Extract- healing and protects the skin barrier
I noticed a difference in the hydration of my skin and my skin barrier felt so much stronger after a few weeks of consistent use. It feels kind of cold when first applied, and the gel almost feels like aloe. I have to say that this serum is very soothing, and I really enjoyed using it daily.
I especially love using this serum under makeup. It gives my skin a nice slip and keeps it hydrated, even under layers of face makeup. It also has a pretty minimal ingredients list and it smells amazing. I'm not sure why this serum isn't more popular, it's really a fantastic product for dry and mature skin types.
Again, I would definitely recommend this product. So far I am 2/2 for Erno Laszlo recommendations.
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Isononyl Isononanoate, Betaine, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Crithmum Maritimum Extract, Disodium Edta, Amodimethicone, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum (Fragrance).
>>Hydra-Therapy Memory Sleep Mask<<
The Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy Memory Sleep Mask ($44 for the mini shown, $108 for the full-size) is the best sleeping mask I have ever used.
I honestly hate that I love this product so much because it is so expensive! However, a little really goes a long way with this sleeping mask. If you don't know what a sleep mask is, you apply them after the rest of your skincare products (except oils) before bed. They work overnight to transform your skin into a more dewy, hydrated, radiant version.
This sleep mask is called a memory sleep mask because the gel looks completely undisturbed every time you open the jar. It really is very cool looking, and I even tried completely swirling everything in the jar to see if it would go back to its original state. Spoiler alert: it did!
Key Ingredients:
- Prickly Pear, Green Ginger and Mugwort Extracts- deeply hydrating
- Winged Kelp Extract- rich in fatty acids to help the skin feel resilient and firm
- Our fruit-derived dual-action Recovery Complex- brightens the skin
Prickly pear, ginger, and mugwort are all ingredients that can be found in the best K-Beauty products on the market right now. I love that they incorporate all three in one fantastic product! The gel feels amazing on the skin, and it doesn't feel as heavy as some other masks I've used in the past.
My skin fell completely in love with this sleep mask, and I need to get my hands on another jar of this ASAP. You absolutely need one of these in your routine, even if you don't have dry skin!
Again, I 100% recommend this! Erno Laszlo, you are killing me with all these fantastic products!
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, PEG-240/HDI/Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Dimethiconol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Polyacrylate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Disodium EDTA, Parfum (Fragrance), Algae Extract, Citric Acid, Trideceth-6, Potassium Laurate, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, BHT, CI 16035 (Red 40), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract, Benzyl Alcohol.
>>Final Thoughts<<
If you are looking for a fantastic skincare line that will help hydrate and brighten your skin, check out the Hydra-Therapy products from Erno Laszlo.
There is a reason they are such a well-known luxury brand, their skincare products actually work! I don't think I could ever have a bad thing to say about any of these products. Well, ok. If I must. If you do have acne-prone skin, you need to be careful about the serum. The oils can be a little heavy and you may end up with a breakout.
Okay, no more negativity.
If I had to rate these products from most to least favorite, it would be Sleep Mask, Serum, and then Cleanser. If you could only afford to get one of these, I highly recommend the sleep mask!
