Why is Metanium £25 for an opened tube?

[whatsupsis]

I’ve just seen a tube of Metanium baby cream on Vinted for £25. What’s that about? Is it a front for something else? Weird.

Because it’s discontinued

Think its been discontinued or the formula has changed so the demand for the original one is high!

It's not discontinued now. I bought some the other day.

The yellow one?

The new one is not yellow but it's still my favourite baby bum cream.

It was discontinued I believe due to them not being able to get a specific ingredient.

It’s the yellow one everyone wants .

God, that stuff was a bloody lifesaver when my girls were babies. Nothing else came close.
OP, it’s a discontinued nappy rash cream. It’s still rather cheeky of the seller though!

My kids are older now, but I’ve got about 5 tubes of the yellow one in various places around the house. It’s brilliant! Should I sell? I might get rich!

Ahhhh. Yes I used it on all of mine and under my breast before I lost weight. I didn’t realise it was discontinued. Wow. £25. Mad.

Dude it’s £3.50 in sainsburys (just did a quick google). An open tube is asking for trouble and so is buying essentially medical supplies on Vinted who knows what it is!

I found a brand new, sealed, boxed tube in my cupboard the other week - what shall I start the bidding at? I'm eyeing up a lovely Italian villa I need to fund early retirement for...

If it’s not what you are after just go to the pharmacy and see if they have an alternative

Ha ha ha

No it’s not - metanium everyday isn’t the same as original metanium. They have made it yellow now so people buy it but it’s not the original stuff that worked wonders. I wouldn’t part with my half filled tubes for a mere £25 as there is no alternative. Nothing from the pharmacy or on prescription works.

Ooh, I've got a couple of barely used tubes that are several years old. Didn't realise I was sitting on a nest egg! 😁

I loved that stuff. So much better than anything else. Poor modern parents having to manage nappy rash without it.

In case anyone is looking for an alternative, I found this to be a miracle cure in one application! Used on all my babies. https://www.weleda.co.uk/calendula-nappy-change-cream-75ml-105009?returnurl=%2fshop%2fbaby-child%2fnappy-creams%2f
