Hi,

Strange question. Im going to Germany this week and i might have a look and see if can buy Dr.H Cleansing Cream cheaper then here in the UK.

Would the product be exactly the same in terms of ingredients?

Thanks

I think so. I bought mine in Germany recently and it seems to be the same as the ones I bought previously. Just keep in mind that there will be no english instructions or even english product names on the boxes :s

My guess would be that it's the same stuff, too. It's tough to say, though, since different countries have different regulations about ingredients and labeling.

i bought some dr h when i was in germany last year and it seems exactly the same. my only advice would be to note down the names of the products as there is no english on the packaging (as mabsy pointed out).
this site http://www.alegria-naturkosmetik.de/naturkosmetik/index.php has the names of the products in both english and german if that's of any help!

I wish I had thought of that before I went! I had no idea what I was buying and I was trying to determine that mostly by box size and picking up similar words Laughing

exactly! that's what i did! and i didn't end up buying anything i didn't want so it must have worked!

although on reflection it would have been easier to have the names in german to avoid confusion (and having to ask a german SA if i was buying the right thing - lucky for me she spoke english but didn't hesitate to point out that as i was in germany i should be able to speak german Embarassed

)

So we're not supposed to travel to any country unless we speak the language?? I wonder how many languages that sales associate can speak and if she's such an expert why doesn't she gain employment as a translator? Wink

exactly! i thought i was being all polite by asking if she spoke english rather than just assuming that she did, and she replied with "do you speak german? you are in germany"! how bad is that! and she was quite rude for the rest of the interaction really, BUT the most important thing was that i think i got my dr h stuff for about 1/3 the price i pay at home! yay!
(is that too many exclamation marks? i'm pretty tired so excuse the over punctutation...)

Yup, the products are the same except in a different language. Dr. H is *much* cheaper there--you'll save tons! I'd totally stock up! Very Happy
