Have you seen the price of two....the price has doubled.  Did they have a problem getting the ingredients, shipping, etc.  I give as gifts but do not think this will be happening at this price.

I noticed how high the price is, too.  Not worth it for me.  I still have some unopened from the last time they did a TSV on auto-delivery.  (And you also got two tubes of the hand cream with that.)

It's a P&G product and they have significantly raised their prices all across the board.

I did not know that it was a P&G product.  I thought it was a private company that made it.  Boy!  am I surprised.

None of us could possibly know the exact reasons, whether it was lack of ingredients, shipping issues or what.

 

I just expect EVERYTHING will/has been going up and I am starting to be VERY picky shopper!

 

First Aid is permanently OFF my list.

P&G is raising their prices to protect their profit margins as commodity and freight costs continue to climb.

P&G bought First Aid in 2018. These price increases are about keeping high profit margins for P&G. They are not increases typical of inflation but more about corporate earnings reports.

Love this stuff, but won't be buying anymore.  I can buy 2 larger containers of Cerave at Costco for $20.  They priced themselves out of the market.

Check TJ Maxx, mine has had First Aid items the last few months.  Not always the big tubs, but often tubes of hand cream, eye cream and I think I saw a face mask.  Not cheap though...the last tube of hand cream was only 2 oz for $7.99.
