German Nivea creme has a reputation for being a dupe of La Mer. It is also a classic cream and was created in 1911. The made in Germany Nivea cream can't be found in the United States, but is only sold in Europe. The Nivea sold in the US is made in Mexico and appears to differ from the German version. This tin is the German version.
You can see it has a thick consistency. The product contains mineral oil to lock in moisture. I apply it by warming it between my fingertips and pressing it into the skin. It can be used on both face and body. I find it to be non-irritating and works well when my skin feels sensitive or very dry. As far as being a dupe for La Mer, well I would say the consistency is the same and it does work very similarly for a fraction of the price.
It is hard to obtain a jar of the German version, unless you purchase it while in Europe or online on either eBay or this small retailer that specializes in international products, Smallflower.
