Re the Pacquins: I have done the same thing myself and been very frustrated. Pacquin Plus with Aloe is labeled "skin cream", is pink, and works like most everything else on the market. Pacquin Plus Hand and Body Cream is white and is the marvelous product you were expecting. The last time I saw it on Ebay, an auction had gone up to $63! The one you have has a green section on the label, right? The good Pacquin has a deeper pink section and no aloe. Hope this explanation helps.
