Regardless of the "quality of ingredients" or whatever special fermenting process they use to justify the price-gouging, the only thing that matters in the end is the look and feel of your skin. Creme de la Mer is a good moisturizer, I'm sure, but it won't banish fine lines or prevent aging like some want to believe. You can pay $125 for your water/mineral oil/glycerin/etc cream, sure....or you can buy an equally suitable moisturizer for $120 less and save that up for procedures that actually WILL get rid of wrinkles in the future. I'm sorry, but ingredients being "active" will not create the huge difference that you want people to believe. You sound like a La Mer sales associate. @tfsdeth: Well “darling”, apparently Nivea has worked fabulously for many women.

La mer is finer quality ingredients, most of which are natural & then fermented to keep them ACTIVE, nivea DOES NOT have ACTIVE ingredients. That makes a huggggggge difference. Another difference is the quality of the minerals in creme de la mer, the molecule of mineral & mineral oil is to large to sink into the skin, max huber (who created creme de la mer) made it possible that the skin could take these minerals...no other product on the market anywhere has been able to do this. all in all the process of making creme de la mer is long, it takes about 4 months to make 1 oz(30ml) of creme de la mer. So i suggest you look into things first before you start to think your a cosmeceutical just because you matched some ingredients & also have a look at the process of creme de la mer, then maybe you can appreciate it more than comparing it to some cheapo drug store brand; cremedelamer.co.uk/10reasons/index.tmpl Darling, Just because creme de la mer & this nivea product share SOME of the same ingredients (most moisturizers

Very soothing and much better IMO than the made in Mexico version. I will always use this. I use the german made Nivea creme and it is a terrific moisturizer.

I started using it exclusively - (Why mess with success!) and am so glad that I did - Today I am 60 and my skin looks remarkably unchanged from my "youth". I love to tell people how I found Nivea......how long I have been using it and how great I think the product is! My son travels to Switzerland for his job and he brings me tins of German made Nivea.

I am not crazy about mineral oil. but the rest of the ingrediants seem fine. I was thinking of getting some because I just bought an expensive cream and it smell like my mothers Ponds.

I wanted to start with something simple, like a health and beauty aid, and I saw my wife putting the Made from Earth - Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer on her face this morning (as she's done very morning for the past 20 years of our married life) and I asked her why she uses it and is so dedicated to this one particular product. She scowled a bit at me and asked, "Can't you see why?" Point taken. She looks beautiful and as young as when we first met (Yes, she's looking over my shoulder as I write this. Ow!) But seriously, she is well on her way to 50 and (Ow!) looks fantastic. Her face is soft and nearly wrinkle-free, and many women underestimate her age which, of course, she loves. Whatever materials are contained in it, she has obviously benefitted. But even if she hadn't been using it, and became wrinkled (Ow!) and hard (Umf!) and aged in appearance (Yow!), I would still love her (Awww!).

I have both the USA Nivea made in Mexico and the German nivea. The German nivea is the best in my opinion. It sinks into my skin nicely and gives me a satin look under make up. It also does not have that Methylchloroisothiazolinone stuff. It is way healthier. Luckly, we have a German shop here in AZ and they carry the 400 ml for 14 bucks. I have converted myself to only German made Nivea now. I love Nivea creme. I have both the USA Nivea made in Mexico and the German nivea. The German nivea is the best in my opinion.

I have read most people prefer the creme that you have (to the one sold in the US) so that's probably a good thing. But if it comes in a tin, you would think they would need preservatives to keep the product fresh, but somehow it must remain fresh, or they wouldn't sell it! Kay,

But now that I compare the ingredients, "my" Nivea creme doesn't contain those preservatives - actually, it says "no preservatives" on the jar itself too. Would that change the effect of the cream or is it just a plus? (My ingredients list: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit), Panthenol, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Aluminium Stearates, Citric Acid, Magnesium Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, Parfum, Limonene, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol ) Inspired by your post, I went and bought a jar for myself – I live in Sweden but I figured the formula would be the same.
