Dr. Denese website has changed

sueeich — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 17:57:03 GMT

Just tried going on Dr. Denese's website and it totally changed. Looks like she sold out to Guthy-Renker. It appears as if you can't buy individual products anymore - just kits which have a monthly charge associated with them. Basically a subscription service which is never good for the consumer. So sad. . .

oh wow, it looks like you are right! That is surprising! I wonder if that means there may be some changes in her formulas too.

I notice she is on QVC a lot less this past year or so. Maybe she will be phased out. I started using her products when she first came to QVC. Was a loyal customer. About 18 months ago or so, I pretty much switched over to a brand sold in dept. stores. I still use hydroshield and finishing up some Dr. D. face creams. (I seldom toss items.)

I just went and looked. She just lost my business on her site. I was waiting for her next 20 ~ 50 percent off sale, where I can buy only what I need, and not buy a kit with stuff I won't use. Looks like another one bit the dust.

Wow, what a difference. It does say Guthy Renker on the bottom of the page. And no more individual products?? I loved her eye creams... I will miss them if I can't order with her sales.

Edited to add: If you click on the tiny link on the top of the page right side, that says Existing Customers Click Here, you get to her old site. I wonder how long that will last?

Oh no, it looks like you're right. That's a huge bummer. I really don't like subscription systems. They always include things I don't want or need and in amounts that don't work for me.

Why do you make such a remark that her products might change? She sold to a marketer, not a new developer. Silly remark.

That's too bad -- why do they do that? Sigh -- of course I know the answer -- money. It's always the money.

I remember buying ProActiv when they were selling on one of the channels years ago -- when they'd just launched. Really nice stuff, my best friend swore by it, and I trusted those two women. <> Now they're GR, too, and I've seen nothing but complaints (about GR, not about the products) and I can't help but just not respect them any more. I REALLY like Dr. Denese (the person, don't use her products) but I'm afraid she's lost my respect now, too.

I'd like to think it's an attempt to reach and help more people, but I fear it's probably just greed.

I don't understand this does this mean that you can't order items like we used to only the packages on the site for $60 per month? I don't need all of that stuff I like certain of her products like they hydroshield. I am confused.

Her old site is still active. http://store.drdenese.com/

I just think the subscription service is an additional site.

Thanks! This is good to know. I guess she is diversifying.

If you view her fb page it explains it is a test. Her entire website and all products are still there. And yes, there is an informerial coming. I believe with Leeza Gibbons as the host. It will be the core products. Those are the kits that display and if you simply click on the link at the top of the page that says "existing customers" you get to the regular website. It is funny how people jump to conclusions. I think this is awesome that she did a deal with Guthy Renker to bring her products to more people. That doesn't diminish her being on QVC and I'm sure her existing, regular business will remain the same. I love her products and I think this is a great way to get them to more people.

The Wen formulas sold through Guthy Renker have different ingredients than the ones sold on Chaz's website and the Q.

yes this. Not such a silly remark afterall.

And I didn't say they might change, I said I wondered if there may be some changes in her formulas.

She also has this site. http://www.mydrdenese.com/

It's a forum/blog type site where you can ask questions and talk with other Dr D users. She sometimes even does live chats.

Ladies, it might just benefit us in the long run. I only buy her last TSV kit AD , the one with the supersize hydroshield the wonderful eye gel with the wand and the Retinol hydroshield that even got rave reviews by PaulasChoice. It costs less than the supersize hydroshield alone and I get the gel I love that I wouldn't think of buying by itself.

So maybe, just maybe things will be better. Haven't you noticed she's hardly ever on QVC anymore. Most of her products have been discontinued. Like her makeup. You can't find it anywhere , at least in my shade, and I loved it. Her regular night cream was the one that got so much praise for being so hydrating and a great cover for all your serums to seal them in.- gone. The eye hydroshield is only found in a small bottle in an introductory kit I think. You hardly ever see her microdermabrasion machine. I was surprised to see it a few weeks ago . It's been so long I forgot I had it. Got it back out of the closet and used it. It's far superior to that scraper ultrasound thing for $300 plus. She doesn't have an exfoliant. I trust her more than the makers of the ones available now. She's actually got the credentials to formulate one that is both effective and safe.

There is always hope.

Hi everyone. I too was upset to see the new website. I called the 800 number and spoke with customer service. I was told to go to www.store.drdenese.com which is the new web address for her old online store. Yay! Not gone just moved.
