452 (MUC-LAX) a few days ago had La Prarie. I noticed that several month ago they always had 1 hand cream and 1 face cream. For the last several month the have 2 hand creams (per toilet). Not sure what the logic is behind having to of the same other than inviting passengers to take one.

Stealing hand cremes from aircraft toilets is the high-end version of people who only eat lounge food, however bad it may be, because it's free. "Geiz ist geil" I guess.
I could also live with the caps-off solution. Alternatively, they should just put large enough tubes in the amenity kits, no more need to have the large ones in the toilets.

Probably the same Flyertalkers and not properly educated embarrassing persons who proudly confirmed emptying Haribos in FC lounges and asked for Sprüngli/praline chocolate boxes to take home etc

Yes, you’re right. I’ve seen a 3 Star HON behave worse.

Look—All I’m trying to say is that permissioned use or taking of an item is far different from blatantly stealing. And I’m actually fine with stealing if it’s clear that the item won’t be re-used (i.e., I wouldn’t begrudge someone taking their puffy slippers as I assume LH throws them away after use). Stealing the bathroom products is blatantly distasteful and wrong. I think we can all agree about that.
Being able to draw finer distinctions is something else. Possibly academic, but definitely something for another thread or forum.
As to the habits of “plebians” and such, I’m not sure we need to defend LH for their actions here. There’s plenty of margin in F fares. This is thoroughly cost cutting by LH and that should also be called out. It’s a slow erosion of am amazing product. The first few steps are OK, but after a while you’ll realize you’re just flying BA with different colors.

I believe La Prairie belongs to the German company Beiersdorf, they also own Nivea - at least according to this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beiersdorf.
Is there a difference between these products except price?

The real interesting question is: If you put Nivea, Bebe or Penaten Creme in a white tube and print La Prarie on it, - to make it less obvious add a sticker "enhanced formula" - will anybody notice any difference? Some might even think it is better than the real stuff, just because!
