La Mer and Clinique are both owned by Estée Lauder Companies. When two brands share a parent company, they sometimes develop products with overlapping ingredients, though not always identical formulas. In this case, Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ shares 39% of its top ingredients with La Mer's The Moisturizing Soft Lotion, at roughly $33 compared to $320. Whether that overlap is enough to make the switch is up to you — this page exists so you can judge the actual formula for yourself instead of guessing.
