Does anyone buy Perlier ?

They feature it on HSN. My favorite skin care products. Not over priced. Love their scents. I recently bought their royal jelly eye serum and I love , love , love how it has softened up my forehead and undereye skin, reducing the look of wrinkles there.I can't get rid of wrinkles with any product but I do appreciate when they are less noticeable.

I would like to add that I really don't like how Skip speaks to his Mother on air , but it doesn't seem to bother her , so who am I to care.

They make excellent products. Use only a small amount. Their skincare for the face is also wonderful. Been using them for years

No, not anymore. When Perlier was sold in Canada on The Shopping Channel, they used to have good bundles and then TSC and Perlier started ignoring their Canadian customer base and brought in scents and fragrances and one of items that nobody asked for nor wanted. This went on for months and then Perlier left as a vendor. When they came back, they didn't bring in the nice kits that HSN customers got.

So I decided that Perlier was no longer a brand that I wanted to buy or use. I never looked back either. I feel that when companies stop listening to their customers, those customers look elsewhere like me.

I've been using Perlier products since they first appeared on QVC over 20 years ago. Their bath and body products are excellent. I also like some of their face serum products, but haven't found a complete 'face' line to love.

I did recently purchase the Shea and Argon cream for the face and body. I use it at night on my face. Very rich, so only a small amount is needed. But it's very hydrating and my face was feeling dry from all the hot air heat in the house. After just 1 night I could feel the difference in my skin. It may not contain lots of miracle ingredients, but it's working for me as a night cream for the cold months. I'll probably switch back to a serum when the temperature rises.

Hi loves roses. I do! I like their products and find them to have really nice scents. I just purchased the Caribbean Vanilla fragrance with body wash and I really love it. Their vanilla fragrances have always been my favorites.

I remember their New York store in Soho and always wanted to stop by but it closed in 2003. A few years later when then HSN forums were actually quite good, we had a poster who commented on how she met Skip somewhere (maybe a restaurant in New York) and told him how she loved the products and really lamented that their New York store had closed. He was not very nice at all and kept saying "ohhh God" when she said that.

Perlier used to be my #1 favorite bath and body line. I still buy a few things here and there. Every year I buy the bundle of mini handcreams to give to my guests who come to my house for Christmas. Love the Banana Velour and I see it's $19.95 for this visit. May have to get that. I much prefer the Shea line. However, when they offer new scents it seems that they are offering more florals. I do not like florals at all. In the past, they had an array of food scents which I liked such Tiramisu, Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Banana just to name a few. I have found that Josie and Wen offer more hydration than Perlier for me.

I am very hard to please. I need lotion for my hands & feet that is very moisturizing, but never sticky.

I love a little fragrance, but so many give me headaches that I have to be careful with that, too, so I stay with the almond, latte or regular honey.

Their body/hand cream is the very best I have used.

`So maybe the rudeness I noticed toward his mother is really his personalitity. What a shame.

Yes, yes, yes! I buy Perlier! I adore their shower/bath gel and am ashamed to admit how many flavors of their 3 liters I have under my sink. Yikes. I have cranky skin and Perlier is the only bath stuff I've found that my skin can handle. Therefore, I profess my love of it. Smiles.

I started using Perlier products back when they first came to QVC. My two favorite products were the Peach shower gel and the White Almond hand cream. I remember taking the peach shower gel with me when we stayed in a B&B in Salem, MA. The owner asked me the next day what the incredible scent was in the bathroom. It smelled EXACTLY like a fresh peach. And the White Almond smell was so clean and fresh; smelled just like an almond. Their Gardenia scent was also lovely.

Back then Macy's also carried some of their products, but of course QVC had the better deals.

I haven't used any of their products in over 20 years.

When they quit making the Lavande EDT that's when I stopped buying Perlier. It was my favorite lavender scent.

@patoflI came to be a Perlier customer with my sister back in the 1970s when the only products were original Honey and White Almond. At that time we puchased it atthe former Marshall Field's. My sister has super sensitive skin and Perlier was one of the first luxury bath and body lines she found that did not make her itch. The products worked very well on me too. It was a blessing for us when Perlier came to QVC with an expanded line of products (and then onto HSN) especially after they discontinued to sell in USA department stores and their own boutiques. We continue to purchase, and I can always count on a Perlier product being a welcomed gift for my sister. It's not often, but I occasionally use other brands for bath and body products, but my sister is 100% Perlier. Both of us look forward to the annual 101 ounce bath cream special they have in October. My sister also likes the skincare very much.

I started buying Perlier when Skip was on QVC. I don't recall his mother being on the shows with him until he went to HSN. I started with the honey and white almond lines. I still buy several shower creams/body creams from the Perlier line. I have purchased a few of their skincare items, but don't really continue to buy them. I really like their shower gels and lotions/body creams.

I've bought Perlier bath & body products for years and have quite a few that I love. Used to enjoy some from the Elariia line although that was discontinued. Not as much a fan of their skincare products. I bought the 20 piece hand cream set mostly to give out as gifts but just opened one to test the fragrance and while lightly scented, my hand feels really soft! I'm debating on trying the new Caribbean Vanilla & Almond (although I know I have a Caribbean Vanilla in my stash) and also was tempted by the new Lemoncello and Arancello but I just don't need all that!

NOOOOOOOOOO, there is just way too much lotion on the market now, nothing is special. No wait, the DIY whipped shea butter I make is.

@DaysdeeYes, Amanda was on air with Skip during the QVC days. She is still very attactive and youthful looking for her age, but knock off 25 years and you can get it why some callers (who didn't know anything about the Borghese family) thought they were siblings.

I enjoy Skip and Amanda. Skip can be quite comical and jokes. He teases at times.I like to watch them on air. She oftens give gift giving and wrapping tips for holidays.Amanda has had surgery and she looks good. Pictures of her Mother are also nice. I believe she is in her 90s. I use less of their products. There are so many more choices. The honey line and almond were my first favorites also. I still like the 25% Shea Butter hand cream. I used to have coworkers come in and use a pump when on my desk and loved it.

I never got into the skin care very much.I do like their Antiwrinkle Lip Moisture Stick.

I LOVE watching Skip and Amanda....Did anyone catch Skip doing "the worm" a few years ago. I love him. Maybe being 100% Italian has me biased. I do like their products. I use the Royal jelly serum every night on my face. I like it better than Josie Maran. I love their White Almond line as well. I think they re more reasonably priced compared to many others.
