Principal Secret Advanced Cleanser - Any dupes?

tarsmom · ‎03-21-2010

So, is anyone still using the Principal Secret Advanced cleanser? I have been buying mine on Ebay but it is getting harder to find and the sellers are catching on to the "supply/demand" and charging a lot. I really like everything about this cleanser, scent, performance, makeup removal, everything. Has anyone "moved on" and using something else? I've tried Purity and it's ok.

Any recommendations?

Thanks-

Michelle

I've been using Reclaim ever since she debuted this. And I loved the Advanced and the original Spa as well. I have not been able to find any comparable to VP cleansers, that removes eye makeup, doesn't strip skin and gently, yet thoroughly cleanses skin.

I wish I did, because I would love to have some kind of backup in case I run out before my next order comes. I just order from the catalog.

Hi Michelle - I have been using Principal Secret in all the Lines ever since it came out. Are you a club member? The advanced cleanser is still available at $17.95 each for club members. I think if you ordered the smallest customized club member kit you would need to purchase at least three products but you could buy three cleansers for $49.95 and freight of about $7 (and possibly sales tax depending on where you live).

I use Paula's Choice (online). It is color and fragrance free and no animal testing. Right now all cleaners and toners are 25% off. Her products are guaranteed for 60 days or money back. You won't even have to send the product back. Also, her website Beautypedia gives many reviews on dept/drugstore products. I've been using her products since 1995!! Awesome customer service. Once I received 2 of a product when I only ordered one. I did not have to send it back but they told me to keep it.

Does Principal Secret still offer their ""Advanced Line"" or is it all ""Reclaim"" now?

I looked last week for something in the Advanced line, but it's been discontinued. I liked it better than Reclaim.

Hi Sunshine Kate! What did you like better about the Advanced line over Reclaim?

I just got her latest catalog yesterday, and Advanced has not been discontinued. It looks like, though, her color cosmetics are being discontinued. No more Reclaim pressed powder, which I did like....c'est la vie!

I've been using her Advanced Cleanser for 20 years. I buy it directly from her club, 7 tubes at a time. I have a shipment on the way to me now. If it's ever discontinued, I swear I'll cry. It's just the best cleanser.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Has anyone had a problem with the Principal Secret CS line answering back emails? Reminds me of Temptations....not good. Have emailed serveral questions but no answers rec'd back as of yet. UGH
