barbi ka I think she was being sarcastic

[@cosmicxsushi]

barbi ka No it’s not. Dupe is short for duplicate, and in terms of products, it means something that is a copy of something else, which does involve the order products were produced in. The point of knowing about dupes, particularly in makeup, is not solely to save money with a cheaper product, but also to save the consumer from buying duplicates of things they already have.

She also made her on creams. She had a medicinal flower garden and herb garden. Along with a regular garden & orchard. Made Elderberry syrup & wine & Rosehip syrup. My Great Aunt lived to be 94, Great grandmother 101, My grandmother over came breast cancer & lived to be 86. My mother was never sick until moving to the US. She always lived on fresh food & produce in Europe and never missed a market day. She passed away after suffering from Lymphoma and after remission developed Parkinsons the 1st in our family to ever have the disease. She passed away at 84, but lived life to the fullest.

If do get a random pimple I use nivea as a spot treatment and poof-magic! I would encourage oily skinned girls to not write off nivea until you've tried it. If it works for you, it's the cheapest multipurpose gold you're going to come across. PS: My sister has bone dry skin and she breaks out everytime she uses Nivea. So please do a spot test!

I LOVE La Mer! It's the only moisturizer that doesn't sting my face. It sinks in beautifully and plumps my skin (temporarily) and leaves a dewy glow. I always get compliments on my skin when I use it and go out bare faced. I can't always afford it, so I don't have it all the time, probably about 75 percent of the time. I use it sparingly and buy it when Nordstrom has a gift with purchase so I can have travel sizes as well. It crazy expensive, but I do think it's worth it, especially if you're 50+ like me. I will definitely give Nivea a try though, I'm curious! Great content, love your channel!

[@hannym6926]

So I have a little background story about this. I moved back to Japan last December and spent my money on necessities for my room and my living expenses. When I found out that I was running out of moisturizer I couldn't have possibly spend a lot on it since I was getting paid just a week later. So i went to the drugstore to find a cheap alternative to my previous moisturizer (Corine de Farme), and I picked the cream up. It was only about 200 yen (2 USD?). I thought I'd only use it for a week until I get my paycheck but boy was I wrong. Buying it instantly became one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've been using the Japanese version of Nivea creme for two months now and it's helped my skin soooo much. I have a very sensitive skin that would break out and get dry and flaky during winter for the past 4 years but this winter was the first time my skin calms down during the winter!! I even use it as a spot treatment if an acne pops up and it would be gone in a couple of days. The only thing that's become a tiny red flag for me is the fact that it has fragrance. Other than that, it's amazing.

[@Rujproductions]

Thank you!!! I’ve been saying this for years. I have a family friend who was a chemist for this brand and also confirmed that the base for these two creams are exactly the same so you are basically just paying for that seaweed.

The fact that la mer is that expensive and has mineral oil in the container is sad

[@petitpoisparis]

I’ve used nivea ( European version) and my personal training clients often bought me Creme De La Mer for my birthday or Christmas no contest Creme de la mer is fantastic .Its what people say when I’m wearing CDeLa M that tell me it really improved my skin.

[@perfumaphilia3246]

There's zero reason to spend the money on La Mer. The ingredients are underwhelming, and many of them are actually highly irritating.

[@khatunashotashvili2506]

The algae are shipped for hours before used in la mer creams. And said la mer creams are kept in really high temperature storage spaces. If that didn’t make the algae useless, they add preservatives, which if they didn’t add it , it would go bad in like 2 week, but cause they do add preservatives , it prevents the bacteria from the algae to spread. The bacteria from the algae is what actually could do something, but the preservatives just kill the bacteria, making la mer , a regular moisturizer.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I did my own test when creme de la mer first came out, side by side on my face, with nivea. The nivea won hands down. My skin was flawless.

[@karenmininni4962]

I mix a bit of Nivea with a bit of coconut oil and its awesome. I have tried the same combo with the La Mer but the Nivea works better for my super dry skin. So happy to have found this video. Nivea is great and the coconut oil helps it to spread better.

I love and sweat by Nivea creme. I use it as all over facial moisturizer, eye creme, lip balm, eyebrow tamer, cuticle creme, make up remover, face mask, skin barrier when coloring my hair, heel balm, and whatever else I think of. It's literally my one beauty product I can't be without.

[@maddiemadzz1785]

Does it work as a great barrier for your hair? Definitely going to use that next time! Thanks for this comment 😂

[@antoinettenovella1630]

Omg I have been using Nivea since elementary! They both do smell similar, I had a LaMer sample from Sephora & that was my immediate thought!”are they similar?” Thank u Susan!!

[@jazzyk4046]

The thing is, Nivea creme blue tin was made in 1911, while La Mer was made in 1965. So, who's duping who?

Another amazing informational video from the Mixed Makeup team. I wanna say great editing and I really appreciate putting up the ingredients list on the screen because in previous videos whenever you talk about ingredients I’d have to pause the video and go to the browser and check out the ingredients list... now I can just pause the video and read :) and yes! I love learning about skincare ingredients and all the names 😂

[@Gianemakeup]

Nivea is what my grandmother used, mom uses and I mix it in my routine as I’m addicted to skin care. All that skin care has made us all appear 10 to 15 years younger. I love those little jars of nivea as they’re awesome for travel. Totally agree about serums!❤️

[@mickeymouse4938]

pls give some tips on your skincare, and esp serums

[@sarahstroud6021]

I prefer SK II over la mer any day! I never saw a difference when I used La Mer😀

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Korean brands Missha or COSRX have affordable dupes for SKII. Japanese brand Kikumasamune sells 17 ounces bottle of galactomyces (pitera) toner for about 20 USD, it's produced in the sake factory where pitera is a byproduct. You can buy them from ebay.

[@riandeka9517]

@@sarkahalastova9667 Pitera is not just ordinary galactomyces firment filtrate. It's from certain type of it that is patented, that's why you should never find SK-II dupe. That's why when people really love SK-II, they will keep using it no matter what.

[@purple438]

So does this mean I can buy The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid and just put Nivea on top of it?

[@krisnovo5375]

Yes 🤗

[@nefretitititi]

Yes, but it can clog your pores. First you exfoliate with an acid and then put highly comedogenic product on top. I break out just by looking at Nivea

[@davidmota8835]

nefretiti me too, mineral oil is a huge no no for me

[@kevinjanghj]

Yes, you might even find that the combination works better than Creme de la Mer.

Nope! Buy TO Marine Hyaluronics and then put Nivea on top of it.

Nivea Creme is amazing, 3 generations of women in my family use it, soap, water and Nivea Creme and none of the women in my family have wrinkles, bad or spotty skin and have never needed foundation. I just turned 38 and I still look early 20's, my auntie just passed away at 84 and her skin was amazing. to all the teens out there you don't need all these skincare products keep it simple.❤️

Princess Mimi The Pug genetics also play a substantial role on how your skin is gonna look.

[@princessmimithepug6719]

@@conrey10 100% agreed, but also putting chemicals on it from a young age isn't going to help, if you look at alot of elderly people they have lovely soft skin because they didn't have all the skincare stuff back in the day just soap, water and moisturiser.❤️

[@fauxparis6290]

if you have oily skin, the nivea is still good as makeup remover or a cream wash followed by a regular cleanser!

[@joanageraldes4130]

We need products and a routine for sensitive skin please. Love you channel 😍

[@kirstenglae]

I use Retin-A micro every night, so the Nivea Cream is pretty perfect for my dry skin (retin-a can really dry out your skin). Love, love, love it in the winter. I use Rose hip oil 30 minutes after my Retin-a, then top it with the Nivea cream. Then I massage with a Gus sha Stone.

[@alexisbyday]

Oooh this just blew my mind. I also use Retin-A-I've been trying the Nivea Cream, THEN rosehip oil and finding that my skin is weirdly dry (and I have oily skin to boot!) but I will try your method of oil first, then cream.

[@kirstenglae]

Alexis A That’s awesome, I really hope it works!!! It’s what I’ve been doing in the winter for years. In the summer, depending on my skin, I will usually just do the rosehip seed oil and a massage. If I still need hydration, I just use it where I need it (around my mouth, nose, and eyes).

[@wifeworldofsports6384]

You're looking amazing Susan!

Always knew that Nivea was THE cream to have as far as the quality of the product than as the price way more affordable!!!!! For that reason, you just have a new subscriber!! Love your videos! Thank you and keep on the GOOD work!

When I wear makeup, I would slather my face in Nivea creme and would wipe the excess off with a cloth and then apply makeup. Love it and have recommended to others.

How do you use Nivea ?? Do you use water to clean your face before you put on Nivea ?? I do need help ….. thank you for your help ……

[@KenziBabenzi]

I literally started to see so much of a difference when I began using Nivea on my hands. I had very thin chapped hands from working in a restaurant, and this really healed the skin. And then I really began seeing more long lasting results from cerave with hyaluronic acid and ceramides.

[@antoinettenovella1630]

Useful information. Thank you. My husband has badly cracked skin on his hands so will buy him Cerave as he has tried a multitude of solutions that have not assisted.

I love Nivea ...but I've been using the Nivea in the white tub which is a day time moisturizer it is a lot lighter and not as heavy as the blue..I absolutely love it and will use it forever

[@cristinaphotographs]

Nivea is the best ! It’s been around forever and it’s huge in Europe, not so much in the USA because there are so many other brands that it gets lost, but in Europe it’s always been big !

[@itsmeGeorgina]

This is true, I live in Norway, and Nivea is in practically every home,, very good cream for cold weather, it protects, it is the No1 go to cream for the cold season,, which lasts.. 6 months

I used to have really oily skin and would get pimples all the time. When I started using Nivea blue on my face my skin is so much better. I actually have gotten stopped and random people have asked me what skin care I use. Also if you use Nivea under sunscreen it halps it absorb WAYYY better

[@gabrielaaguirre4568]

I have combination skin and in the winter, my skin gets very very dry. I didn’t want to spend $90+ on such a small jar of moisturizer so instead I went to sephora and Nordstrom and got samples. When I need a REALLY thick and hydrating moisturizer to stay locked onto my skin, I use my little samples. The creme de la mer really does work and feels luxurious and nice on my skin! I tried the nivea but it’s just too greasy on my skin. I only use the la mer when I truly truly need it and that’s hardly ever but it’s nice to have a small little tub handy. Usually, I use my FAB ultra repair cream and stay moisturized. I recommend everyone try the La Mer this way! Samples can be handy!

[@shiningstar7775]

LA MER = Nivea Creme + MISSHA Time revoloution purple ampoule (aka seakelp bioferment) Better still you favourite good quality occlusive moisturiser + MISSHA ampoule = better than LA MER

[@digrood]

both la mer and nivea broke the living hell out of me. I think it's the decyl oleate. I loved the texture of la mer, but it brought back my cystic and fungal acne.

[@Maeve288]

I had flaky dry toes that it hurt when fabric brushed over, and very dry tendons that the skin looked greyish, bruised a bit and, also hurt when fabric brushed over. Started using Nivea religiously that I wanted to forget how often I must apply. All i had to do was just to apply the moisturizer as often as possible. I forgot how long it took until the skin healed itself. But definitely for few months. Since then, I never wanted to use any other moisturizer. Nivea is the best! Also, another tips: i've mixed Nivea with a dot of Safi face cream (Malaysian drugstore product) and blend together. Result: it lighten the skin.

[@alpaca3216]

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Nivea also sensitizes my face skin, I think it's that heavy old-fashioned fragrance. For years, I thought that your face turning slightly red after the cream is just something normal that comes with ageing. A couple of years ago, I stopped using perfumed moisturizers and it did wonders. I keep buying a little Nivea tub just because they are so pretty but never use them up.
