    Well at least there is some kind of explanation for it......

    The ones going for £1.70 aren't the "BEST EVER FORMULA" and the ones going for £6.79 have that embossed on the box :):):)

    Now it just takes someone to come along and say they got the "BEST EVER FORMULA" for £1.70............

    I wonder if they have even changed the formula, they didn't when they changed the sun care packaging, just wanted to put P&P on the box because of all the hype.

    That does make really nice moisturiser though (sun care stuff), even if you are not going out in the sun.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I had a look in my local branch today, but it's tiny, and they had none at all:confused: so I couldn't compare.

    If it's a different cream I have no problem with that, but dont like the idea of paying £6.79 for 1 online, when I could get 4 of them instore for that price and 1600 points as well. I supose you win some and lose some.

    My local branch is so tiny that I feel as if I know some of the fellow shoppers very intimately by the time I've left the store :o :rotfl:

    I'm off to Boots tomorrow, weather permitting, so if I see this offer locally, I'll post it up.

    Which has just reminded me of something which might have been a local offer (take note rubylou lol)

    A few days ago there was some Boss eye cream (anti-ageing/wrinkle stuff for men - not sure why it's for men if it's so good :confused: lol) but it was going for £5 on the clearance section, yet still £25 ish on the shelves.

    Although, like the Nivea, it might have been old packaging so worth a look nationwide?

  • Whatever they have done to it I am sure it has come down in price from when it first came out. I think they give more shelf space to their newer range now.

    I think I have it now.:T :T

    £6.79.................. Has "BEST EVER FORMULA"
    £1.70................... Doesn't

    But the one I ordered online for £6.79 doesn't have those words neither (On the picture anyway) My head hurts now.

    My mum always used to use Pond's, that is really cheap and in a lot bigger pot than it use to be when she used it, in those days there wasn't the choice there is now. She had lovely skin.

    Wasn't it just on the box - not on the pot?
