I currently (and for years) am using Dr. Denese Hydroshield and Dream Cream...and going to use up what I currently have.

Considering trying Elemis Marine Cream, as I always hear raves from people who use this, either here or elsewhere. Plus, one time I think it was Sephora gave it to me in a trial pack, and I also tried it in one of QVC's TILI packages "Try It, Love It) and I did like it a lot. Just never wanted to get into another cream that seems like it's $100 a pop for small jar.

I notice on QVC the $98.00 says only 1 ounce? And on Walmart 1.6 oz is $34??? Something seems wrong there.

Walmart does show a 3.3 oz size for $98, so maybe I either read the QVC amt wrong or something.

Anyway....any of you who use it...where do you find the best deal buying this? 

Walmart is also showing the Elemis Marine Cream with SPF 30 currently on sale.

Anyhow, I'm not in desperate need of new moisturizer right now, and also, not sure I want to sign on to another expensive "habit"...but curious. Any info....if it's worth it, where you buy it, results, anything anyone would like to share on this, is appreicated. Tks.

Haven't checked recently, but years ago our local casino here in CT...their spa used to carry it....I could use my points there if so. Of course, however, casinos tend to double the price on things, (to cover those points)...so 6 of one...half dozen of the other.

@amyb  - Today on GMA Steals and Deals a lot of Elemis is 50% so it might be worth checking that out if you want to try it.  

Years ago I used Elemis and liked it a lot.  People say that the fragrance is strong but since I don't have a sense of smell, that obviously didn't bother me but wanted to mention it to you.  I bought it from the Q when it was much more reasonably priced than it is now.  Stopped using it because prices became too high.

I love my Elemis Marine Cream.  I have both the nighttime and day ones.  I do not use the one with SPF.  On auto delivery.  They run a special package usually late fall.  My current AD expires this fall.

Be very careful of some of the Walmart offerings.  Very careful.  Some are "resellers" of who knows what.  As bad as eBay.

I have been using the Elemis Marine Extra rich day and night and still have one set to follow the one currently on my counter.  The box says 1.6 ounces for each of them. I like how both work on my very dry facial skin.

 I will check to see what I paid and edit my post.  I believe they were a TSV when I decided to try Elemis.

ETA: Probably not a TSV.  I paid $99.98 plus my sales tax (no S&H charge) for each shipment, all of which arrived with 3 samples of related products.  Even with my aged skin, each jar lasts a long time and I like the Elemis enough to consider doing a repeat purchase.  I will compare prices with other products I've used in the past.  Some other creams also work well for me.

I've never used the Elemis Marine cream. However, I just bought a 2 oz jar of Trader Joes new Night Cream. It is unscented and contains Irish Sea Moss Extract, Fermented Mushroom Complex and Sodium Hyaluronate. I like it and it is only $10.

I use the one with SPF.  I don't notice a strong scent, and if there is one, it doesn't hang around long.  

I was on AD for one of their kits, but it has expired.  I'll probably look at their next TSV to see the cost.  I'd prefer just the Marine Cream over a kit.  

I think GMA often runs the 50% special, so that's another possibility.  You just never know when they'll run it again though and they don't have auto delivery.  I follow Tory's Facebook Page which gives you a heads-up of all the specials she runs not only on GMA, but The View, and Live w/Kelly & Mark.

I have a cleanser I picked up on one of those sales that I love, but I won't pay full price for it.  Even when they have a sale, the shipping is ridiculous, so I'm hoping Tory runs it again.
