    Was in Manchester a couple of weeks ago and left the hotel without a moisturiser. I have dry skin so need to apply regularly. Nipped into the first pharmacy I saw and bought 'Simple for Men' @ GBP2.99. Was in Boots at the weekend and checked to see if they had the same product. Lo and behold, same product, same size @ EUR7.69!!! :mad:

    If it makes you feel any better it must have been on special offer, this stuff is usually around 5-6 pounds mark.

    They are indeed, Nivea & Simple for men are good for the face after a shower or anytime facial skin is dry though. Thanks to eczema I have used all sorts of moisturisers and yeah, aqueous cream is good.

    That would explain it alright but it definitely wasn't marked as 'special offer'.

    Minor stuff anyway, just bugged me when I saw a big price difference.
