I have a sample of Lancome moisturiser that's too rich for my skin, so I used it as hand cream since I'd run out out, and my hands feel lovely.
I looked this stuff up out of idle interest, with no intention of ever purchasing it:
It's $575. For a 60ml tub of moisturiser.
I'm horrified. Are there really people out there who pay that much just for moisturiser? When so many can barely afford food? I'm spiralling a bit. But wow.
Surely there's a dupe.
I'll stick to my cheapo Cetaphil from the chemist for now I reckon.
I use either savlon or a cheap lanolin. Lanolin in nearly exactly the same as our natural skin oils and works very well.
expensive doesn't necessarily means awesome
I thought my $15 (only buy it when it's 1/2 price) 100ml Bulldog moisturiser was expensive...
I leave this for your consideration.
Edit: I have not and never will buy this item. (Knew a woman who worked selling this stuff at a department store counter.) I feel guilty buying a $20 hand or face cream!
Holy moley! I have a 'special' moisturiser that costs $50 bucks but I only buy it every now and then because its too expensive. That's a whole other level
