I have been waiting to see the TTV at Evine for this brand since my initial research seemed like his line might be something up my alley.

However, I was disappointed to see the TTV is another version of Clarisonic. I wonder if Evine did not want this aesthetician to bring a TTV that would compete with anything in Dimitri's line since he is the golden boy there.

However, while scrolling I found this kit 311-094 which is a 6 piece set of products for $67 and in looking at the sizes, these are not sample sizes. Seems like so much better of a deal than yesterdays Tatcha TSV which truly were sample sizes in jars of .35 oz. for $50.

I thini I'm going to try the Evine kit.

I was interested in this line after reading about it here. Was looking at his serum/moisturizer duo but in the description it said it was for all skin types, aside from those with sensitive skin. So that lets me out.

I thought this thread was going to be about Elizabeth Taylor's late husband.

I've tried several things from this line. Some I liked and some not so much. I recall liking a pumpkin enzyme mask but not a serum (can't remember which). In the past they've had seriously lower prices through Groupon, etc, than typical online retail avenues so search around before paying full price. Sounds like the Evine kit is a pretty good deal, @60sgirl. Let us know what you think!

thank you, I will. I am using up my stash of Borghese and Skinn quickly and am always interested in starting something new to see if it makes a difference. My skin looks pretty good, but when you use the same products all the time, are you just "maintaining" at that point, and could there be more improvement with something new?

@60sgirl, thanks for the heads up. I love Michael Todd's Knu Anti-Aging cream. I notice a difference in my skin when I use it versus when I don't. So I've bought it three times, twice through Groupon or Social Living and the last time on ebay. But my latest purchase on ebay was not in the pump jar container which I prefer because you can control how much product you want to use better IMHO. Although the kit you mentioned doesn't have the Knu Anti-Age cream, #309-026 has both the cream and the eye serum so I may purchase that the next time. Thank you!

Evine does have a nice sized Discovery Kit from him at a good Holiday Price, about $26, but the shipping is $7, and I refuse to pay that.

Anyone ever try the peel? It's only $26 and free shipping. It looks interesting and I like that this line is cruelty free. I also liked the ingredient deck. Thanks in advance.

I haven't but I ordered it as I agree it does look interesting.

I have the Discovery Kit and the Wild Berry Peel on my list for the next time Evine has $10 off with CC card or a coupon.

I've been a devoted user of Skinn ABC peels since last December. I faithfully do one every Friday or Saturday. Fortunately, I've been able to get them in kits and at much better prices on eBay than what Evine sells them for, but they're still not cheap. I love them, and have built up quite a supply for myself, but I also wonder about what I'm going to do going forward, as I use them up. As much as I love them, I think I may need to reconsider looking at other options. This MT peel does look good. If it works well, the whole bottle for $26 w/free shipping is a really good value.

I purchased two of the peels this morning. I thought the ingredient deck looked promising. At $26, free shipping and almost 4 ounces.... I figured I should at least give it a try.

I too have been a devotee of the ABC peels, but my stash is running low and they are definitely costly. I do mine on Monday or Tuesday. Love the way my skin is the morning after, but I figured for $26 - this was not a big investment to give it a try so I bought one. I had a fruit acid peel done a few years ago. My skin was amazing after. I hope it works for both of us.

I hope everyone has better luck with his line than I did. IMO it's a range created with off-retail pricing in mind. They used to be a constant on all the lower-tier flash sale sites (Beyond The Rack, etc) and always on Groupon-like deals. I went with the Knu oil and cream for a ridiculously low price vs. 'their' MSRP and it was a true case of 'you get what you pay for'. One of a very few items I actually threw out without even trying to use up on my feet. Way below 'meh'.

I'm currently using 3 Michael Todd products, which I bought from Ulta:

Honey & Oat Daily Gentle Cleanser - - - really lovely gel-like cleanser that removes makeup completely. I found this when seeking out more cruelty-free products and I'm staying with this as the cleanser I keep in the shower. I recently ordered another bottle.

Charcoal Detox Deep Pore Cleanser - - - I have very oily and acne-prone skin and I use this as my evening cleanser. I like it pretty well, but I don't love it as much as the Honey & Oat.

KNU Anti-Aging Eye Serum - - - the ingredient deck on this is really great (IMO), but my eye area is looking a little more dry than with my previous product (Jack Black Protein Booster Serum). It's a pleasant enough product to use, but I'm going back to the Jack Black once I use this up.

Hope this helps someone.
