Issues with Skinn Products

CherryHugs — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 10:35:29 GMT

I was watching Skinn on Evine and decided to read about the Pep 40 Creme.

In reading some reviews about it on Evine, some reviewers are saying things about Skinn Products, (not just the Pep 40 Creme)

That the delivery systems on products in his line are not

working, he is adding chemicals now, he is adding

strong scents. Have you noticed any of this in his new

products?

Skinn has always had chemicals, dyes and strong scents. Dimitri has so much botox during this appearance it is hard to understand what he is saying.
My skin had serious problems with his line.

Last night he went on a don about his hectic lifestyle sitting no time for "fillers" or procedures.

Bottom line is in any brand some products you will like and others you will not. I use Skinn but also use other lines.

I enjoy watching beauty shows, I trust my gut, I buy what I like, return what I need to, and shop knowing not to fall for a hard sell.

@CherryHugs I've been using his products for almost 2 years (Collagenesis Deep Wrinkle) and there hasn't been any change to the scents or products that I can detect. Also, the one product I do know he had issues with regarding the delivery system has been fixed.

The Pep40 has the same pushdown top that many other products use: keeps it sanitary and you don't waste product. Air can't get into the jar. I LOVE that type of delivery system and wish all products used it (be it jar or bottle, it works well).

Other products in his line didn't work for me but NO line is 100%perfect for everyone.

As for fillers and botox; no biggie. You still need to keep your SKIN looking good or you're wasting the money being spent on any procedure.

There WAS a problem with the delivery sytem of one of his recent Deep Wrinkle products- this was the problem: It was to be dispensed as an oxygen rich foam and the bottle's spout clogged for some people- I LOVE this product and have never had any problems, but I know that some people very vigorously complained about it..

A couple of years ago he did change the pink serum..But I still like it..Maybe some people couldnt adjust

Everything on Earth is technically a chemical, air is oxygen and nitrogen and carbon dioxide (and other gasses)..all are chenicals..Water is also a chemical, made up of hydrogen and oxygen.. I am not sure what they mean by "adding chemicals" - every thing organic is a chemical compound..

Many of his products are scented, in fact, that seems to be what many love about them, especially his creamy cleanser! yummmm!

He makes a vast array of products, for ALL skin types, Some of his products do not work for me, personaly, since my skin is not overly dry, and I generally do not wear foundation, but I DO use and love many of his products and have ben using them for about 5 years..

Here is a picture of me around Christmas, I will be 60 in about a month.. I am a believer...

Skinn products are way too heavy/greasy for me. I have oily skin and they just made it worse. Returned everything I bought except for one item that works great - the Enriched Softening Essence. It has just enough coconut in it to moisturize w/o weighing my face down and making it an oil slick. I use this as my moisturizer. It's light and effective.

... and did you see those eyebrows? I think it's what referred to as microblading. Not a good look on Dimitri.

Not watching or even interested in this or any line much---I have so much to use up. And I am so weary of all the hype-----that is what makes me not watch.

I like Dimitri. I think he is entertaining, and I enjoy watching him.

I have used Skinn products for many years but I think I may switch to something else. I just don't see any "deals" or nice kits anymore. And I'm tired of my favorite products being discontinued or reformulated (as in the 24-hour Youth Preservation Cream being changed to the Elite). And this visit...the Gucci outfits and too-much-botox completely distracted me from watching the presentations. Sorry Dimitri.

@CherryHugs Rather than listen to scare tactics, why don't you read the actual ingredient decks and research them? That way you can draw your own conculsion on if you believe the ingredients are acceptable to you or not.

As for fragrance, I dont know the ingredient decks by heart but there are some ingredients that have a naturally occuring scent. Some may be stronger than other but I don't know that there is any added fragrance. I haven't smelled anything overly strong or offputing in anything I use. And if there is any kind of scent, I've found it to be momentarily pleasant but not lingering

About the delivery systems - there was a problem initially with the Line Lift Serum. Between Evine and Skinn, they made things right with anyone who complained to them by giving them a credit or replacing the product. It's an excellent product and the problem has been resolved by using a longer straw inside the can now. Dimitri actually talked about this during a presentation I was watching. Unfortunately, the reviews online were more about the delivery system than the actual effectiveness of the product and once they're posted they can't be amended or removed.

The vacuum jars with the press down top. Many people don't like the idea of dipping fingers into a jar. For them, this is probably the most sanitary way there is to dispense a cream. Some products are thicker than others so they don't always find their way to settle at the center/bottome of the jar. I never had an issue with this when I was using the Creme Reverse except at the very end of the jar when I'd open it up for a few more uses. The Pep 40 Creme is a bit thicker of a product so it make sense that it's not going to settle in to the lowest point inside the jar. Yes, I have to whack it against the heel of my hand to get it to move, but I don't consider that a big deal or reason not to buy something that works so well. By whackiing it, I still can get to the point where most is gone and I open it up for a few more uses to finish up the jar. The packaging complaints about the airless jars are pretty ridiculous, IMO.

It’s bad enough there’s always a hate thread when Dimitri comes on, but to cut down a person’s looks, is unforgivable and totally pathetic. If you don’t like his products, don’t buy it. It’s that simple. There’s a lot of products I don’t care for, but if I started a thread about them all,

i’d Be busy all day, but then again, you all must have all the time in the world on your hands. Sounds pretty lonely to me.

I do have some concern about getting the product out of the bottom of the container. It feels like there is some product in my Radiance Crème, and I can't get it out. I can't see to twist it open. Does anyone know if those push down tops twist off? Thank you,

I use many of his products and love them! Most have worked but I have sent some back. My skin looks great. When I turned on the show today, he looks like a botox/filler mess! What the heck, Dimitri! Hate it when these people peddle their products yet use fillers and injections.

Some do twist off.

Yes, @MarieIG, the top portion of the jar should twist off - not the actual part you press down but the outer band.

Dazlin — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 15:37:01 GMT

I tried many products of his...I had to throw alot out. Just did nothing, or broke me out. The pore mask, does not clean pores, Collagenis line didn't improve my skin at all, that liquid toner/softener was like sticky soap, and couple other creams were useless, for me. Same for his lip creams and ointments. Obviously I kept trying many of his products hoping for a good one, and many people seem to like them. He also puts up a good sales presentation, very convincing...But, that's it for me, can't order from his line anymore. Just my opinion...don't take it personal those of you who love him..LOL
