I have been using this for years. It has definitely changed since Lauder bought this line. Not as creamy and dewy as it once was... and yes, I am using it correctly by rubbing into fingertips to activate the broth. Consistency is not the same from jar to jar. Switching to another line. La Mer was once my "go to". The Soft Cream is almost richer than the original Creme de la Mer. Makes me sad as I was always a fan.
Love the Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream! The Jar was the perfect size for me and the price was right, The cream makes my complexion look great and I love the way it feels when I apply it to my face.
I love this creme. I have tried using other products, because of the expense, but I always end up coming back to this because it is the best I have found.
