I read about this on another forum- I don't know if it's true or not, but I ran out the next day and bought a tin of Nivea cream!
I've got to agree with the previous poster- that stuff is so thick!
I've never used La Mer, so I couldn't tell if it's the same or not- maybe one of these days I'll see if I can score a sample of that stuff from a counter, so I can compare the two.
