Does any use this moisturiser? I am thinking of treating myself as I have a birthday coming up. I would really welcome some views on those that use it.

Thanks.

Have used for 10 years. Amazing. Nothing like it. However prefer the lotion or soft cream to the original

Buy on eBay though as cheaper...

Having worked for the 'umbrella' company of creme de la mer I would say it is very good, but only if your skin needs it iyswim?

Your skin might be suited better to another brand and even get better results, whats the point of spending £££on a branded product if it does nothing for you? Have you tried it before?

Something else to consider is that fact that if it truely works and is amazing for you can you afford to continue to use it after?

Well, I live overseas in a permanently air-conditioned environment, so my skin is very dry and beginning to wrinkle and sag Sad. I know you can't do much for the sagging (other than a facelift!) but I am hoping that CdlM might improve the texture of my skin, at the very least.

If it worked, I would be happy to pay the money and make savings elsewhere to justify it.

Im overseas too hence the time of posting! Where are you? Is the price mark up huge? Airport s would be a good place to stock up Wink

Also consider estee lauder advanced night repair, that really is a miracle product, as is dermalogica multi vitamin recovery mask (can you tell im a beauty junkie!)

Hi Barbie1, I remember you, you are in the same place as me Grin. I tend to buy things from the US using my Shop & Ship account. It means you pay US prices which are much, much cheaper.

Been here for 6 weeks after spending last year in France.

The UAE will always be my spiritual home Grin I miss it so much. Probably remembering all the good stuff and forgetting the bad but I really did love my time there.

Get yourself to dubai mall and bag yourself some samples! Estee lauder own creme de le mer so much of the tetechnology is the same

My sil used CdlM for years. She is currently using Nivea and says that she notices no difference to her skin!
I have good sized sample pots and am using those-no difference so far, I'd say.
I'm going to a beauty party in Sept and going to buy this.

Deja vu. Last time I asked about CdlM someone posted a link to Skin Truffle, or whatever it's called.

I used it for a couple of weeks and had to stop as it was making my very dry skin greasy.

I agree with poster up thread who said it's a good product for the right skin type. It was just too heavy for me

williaminajetfighter · 08/08/2013 10:54

I agree the original cream can be quite heavy. Go for a sample on ebay (there are always sample pots for sale) and see how you get on.

Crutchlow35 · 08/08/2013 11:16

It did absolutely nothing for my skin. At all. Nothing. if you can get a sample pot do because it is ridiculously expensive!
