"$13 moisturiser outperforms $520 product in Consumer NZ test"

Wow, thanks for posting, it is very interesting! Quite funny as well. I often find myself looking longingly at the more expensive moisturizers when I do run out thinking "what if". Good to know there isn't really much difference, and that something as highly regarded as Crème de la Mer can be an inferior product!
I read this article too, pretty interesting. I did my own experiment with an expensive moisturiser paid over $500 for a jar (not the same brand in the article) I really didn't like it and notice better results with cheaper moisturisers. I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the jar of the expensive stuff and there is still a bit left. Yes I'm probably insane spending that much on a moisturiser but it was a bit of an experiment and at least now I'll never be tempted to spend that much again on a spensy moisturiser...... maybe? ;)
That La Mer cream is the same one Kim K uses. Oh if I could splurge like that I would lol I love our supermarket brands. There's lots more options now for skincare. I'm proud of our nz brands breaking through. I never remembered nz skincare brands growing up. I like that my daughter will be able to have that choice.
Interesting to hear your experience Bex! I've always wondered just how much difference more expensive creams would make, as like others have said, I've never spent more than $30-40 on a face cream/serum, and even 30-40 is getting up there for me. I feel like if I was going to spend into the hundreds, I'd prefer to just get lasering, botox, or fillers or something - something that I knew for sure was going to make a noticeable difference! But if a face cream did the same job, and I absolutely knew it would make just as much difference, then I might be tempted ;) And agree with the comments re NZ skin care being celebrated world wide is a wonderful thing. We have some awesome products here, that really work, without the hefty price tag! Rosehip works wonders, and I've heard that our manuka products are really good :)
I could never justify $500 on just a facial moisturizer! Although I'm pretty sure that if I had added up all my skincare collectively like cleansers, toners, serums, eye serums and creams, day time moisturizer, spf moisturizer, sleeping masks, masks, peels, spot treatments, etc. it would probably total close to that ammount. I do however buy almost everything when it's on sale or when I can get a good bargain though, so often the RRP of what I use isn't what I paid. This especially true when it comes to the BEBB.
This is super interesting! I personally wouldn't spend so much on a moisturiser. I know that people say skincare is important but as long as you use good quality products - which can also be affordable - that's all that matters. Most pricey products I feel aren't justifiable and there are cheaper alternatives out there.
I attended a Snowberry talk and something the speaker said really stuck with me. He made the point that you should use a cleanser that doesn't strip your skin and then you don't need an expensive heavy-duty moisturiser to fix the damage.
It's one of those pieces of advice that makes so much sense I wonder why it didn't occur to me on my own. It really shifts my beauty focus from quality moisturisers to quality cleansers.

I thought same like expensive skincare gave you better results than cheap skincare. For body moisture I always prefer Nivea and I have been using it for more than 10 years.
i want make attention on eye cream. I personally tried dermalogica, Estée launder, Clinique and many high to low prices one. Before 5 months I bought Avon eyecream for just 11$. Yes I repeat again 11$. I saw Hugh difference. My fines are gone and around eye area look much better. Thought share my personal experience because this topic is related.
