Question about today's Perricone tsv..........

Nadine — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 16:20:21 GMT

I know there are a few threads about it but I was reading reviews on the conformer and some are saying they use it maybe every three days not every day. The directions say to use twice a day but I don't see how it would last six months. The other product in the tsv would but don't see how the conformer could last that long.

I just went back to all Isomers because I had such a problem with my skin awhile back

. I"m thinking Perricone in the A.M and Isomers in p.m..

I have just got to stop watching these presentaions,

It is two ounces and that should easily last 6 months. The instructions are to use a pea size amount. My Neuropeptide cream has lasted more than 7 months and it is 2.5 ounces. I use once a day and much more than a pea size.

All instructions I've ever read going years back to the present, is to use the conformer 3x a week. This is contrary to the presentation I viewed this morning - so, I understand why it's confusing.

I personally didn't fall in love with the pricey contour-- but that doesn't mean others wont. I've never paid full retail.. but even at a bargain, it didn't live up to my expectations. I've gone through 2 bottles. This was a while back, but don't think the formula has changed one bit since then. The retail price was the same.

I too am confused by the instructions. This is not unusual with Perricone presentations for Dana to say one thing, the online instructions say another, and the packaging say yet another way to use the same item.

There's a poster in Michigan (can't remember her nickname on these boards....think it is Lyn something) who is VERY knowledgeable about Perricone products. Hopefully she will chime in.

Dana was saying to use the conformer night and day. Other posts (or maybe they were old reviews on the this item) said three times a week. Go figure!

And here's another discrepancy. The Neuropeptide Facial Cream in the tube (for day use) has always been demonstrated by Dana with her saying that you need to rub it in really well. There have been times when Dana has rubbed the lady's face so hard, that I just can't believe putting a product on by stretching and pulling on the skin that much could be good. It seems counteractive to do that to your skin.

So, when I got the Neuropeptide Facial Cream in a jar recently, as part of a package deal, the instructions on the jar for the very same product says: "Dr. Perricone recommends patting gently onto targeted areas of a cleansed face in the morning, focusing on the contours of the cheeks, forehead, and jawline."

She shows rubbing the skin aggressively and the product instructions say to pat it gently. The product, whether in the tube or jar, is the same! Again, go figure! Can't remember what the tube instructions said about application. I ran out some months ago and was glad to receive it in a jar now.

For me, there is always confusion on how to use Perricone products. When you spend so much money on a product, you want to make sure you are using it to its fullest potential. It would be appreciated if the presenter, the packaging, and the online information were all the same, right?

@MorningLoverI went into the post where she is today and was able to pull her nickname up by posting a response to something she said. Told her about this thread and mentioned she might be interested in responding to the poster.

Thanks for your help! Still not sure why it won't let me bring her up in this thread, but oh well.

I am waiting to hear other comments about the today's special as well, I can't get pass the price and if anyone can answer can you explain how this products relates to retin A.

I always thought that nothing could top retin a, so how does this item improve your results if you are using retin a already.

I am so leary of all the anti aging products ESPECIALLY something that is SOLD ONLY ON QVC. No offense here but if it was so great, why is it not sold in all the stores, why is QVC so special. Did I miss hear her say it was only sold at QVC, why not saks, lord and taylor, neiman marcus.

As I'm getting older I get more suspious of the "stories" as I live long enough to see the same vendors (not Per. vendor) but other vendors..... later come right back on QVC after they have had plastic surgery. I'm not knocking plastic surgery, I just question the effectiveness of some of these items and especially at the 200.00 plus price.

millieshops — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 18:44:21 GMT

I wouldn't woprry about a product being sold at only one place. There's are plenty of things sold only at Saks or Nieman, for example, when other items in the same manufacturer's inventory are sold elsewhere.

For example, although there's a fulloach store and a full Kors store in the mall nearest my home, you can't buy in those stores all the Coach products sold at Nordstrom and Saks and what you can buy at Saks, lots of time you can't buy around the corner at Nordstrom.

Same with clothing - they might all be selling the same brands, but they don't all sell exactly the same items. You'd need to care a whole, whole lot about how marketing works to know all the reasons the retailers do this.

As for today's TSV - if you already get good results from the neuropeptide cream which many of us with aged skin already do, the TSV is an excellent price to do an experiment with the conformer. But as I've been listening and reading, I really do think this is a TSV for those of us already aged more than it is preventative. As I mentioned on another thread - if I were 50 again, I wouldn't need the TSV at all. At 74, even with decent skin, it's a different story.

Re: Question about today's Perricone tsv..........

Nadine — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 19:01:16 GMT

So I'm thinking the conformer a few times a week not every day and the cream every day in the morning. Why does this have to be so darn confusing. Like someone mentioned when you spend that much you want to use the products correctly.

My favorite is "just listen to your skin, you'll know what it needs" well my skin doesnt talk to me so I need good directions! lol

I just marked this post as the best answer, didnt mean to do that to my own comment. Have the worst time with this forum now.

@Nadine - I've used the NPF Conformer in my weekly routine. PerriconeMD application protocol used to advise using the NPF Conformer either 2 or 3 days each week (can't remember which) both in the AM and PM in place of your regular AM/PM treatments. I used it and loved it, but only purchased it when I found a great price, such as Super Saturday when it was offered at 1/2 price. I jumped on this TSV and I'm confident the NPF Conformer will last 60 days if applied once daily. I used to get at least 6 months out the 1oz bottle when I used it twice weekly (both AM and PM). To answer your question about Isomers. You could use the NPF Cream in the AM after your Isomer serums have absorbed. You could follow the original application protocol and apply the NPF Contour in place of Isomers both AM and PM 2 to 3 days a week and layer the NPF Cream over the NPF Conformer on those days.

Re: Question about today's Perricone tsv..........

lyn in MI — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 20:45:14 GMT

@World Traveler - I understand your confusion. And yes, according to the instructions I've read, Dr. Perricone recommends "patting gently on targeted areas...". I always refer to the product's written instructions for application technique and the PerriconeMD Application Protocol for my order of use.

Thanks Lyn. I hope the Isomers serums play nice with Perricone. I"ve had issues with mixing other things into Isomers but I know others do it without any problems.

When I initially purchased the NPF Cream, it was sold in stores as well as online at perriconemd.com. Back then it was named NPF Cream at QVC and NPF Contour everywhere else. Several years ago, QVC negotiated an exclusive contract for the product. Shortly thereafter, perriconemd.com eliminated its stock of the NPF Contour with a 50% off sale. My guess is that when/if the exclusive contract with QVC expires, we will once again see it carried by other Perricone dealers.

I'm wanting to try this, but I bought the Peter Thomas Roth TSV a little while ago and have been using that serum, cream, and eye cream. No miracles there, but I do believe there's retinal in it. Can I combine these 2, or just stop the PTR and try the Perricone? I've tried other Perricone products but always thought they were just ok and smelled fishy. I am getting some dryness though with PTR.....ugh, what to do?!

I've been contemplating this TSV but I question the use of DMAE in all of his products. And it's right up there near the top of the ingredient list. I question it, not because I'm concerned about its saftey, but rather why would it be in nearly all the products? Especially since I've heard before that DMAE is old science and that better/newer ingredients do the same thing (lifting). In particular, Isomers has a Re-Lift Amino serum that supposedly contains more current science that replaces DMAE.
