Skinn Product- Does anyone agree??

FlowerBear — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 14:55:07 GMT

I watched 2 of the Skinn shows yesterday. It seems that costs are higher to me. Does anyone agree?

Some of the containers are ridiculously small for the cost!

I had a good run with this brand but going to be changing to something more affordable. I do like the products but money is an issue.

Yes, the prices are higher now because Skinn will always have free shipping. It's a sales/marketing tactic. Nothing is ever really free, someone has to pay for it.

I haven't noticed the container sizes changing except for the new and improved Pep 40 Creme Riche. Which ones are you referring to?

the rose noir or what ever they are called balms. one item had two and then there was a tiny container of another! would never pay that much for so little.

Nothing stays the same forever. If you compare Skinn and department store pricing Skinn is still much lower. I like the technology that goes into his products. Like that the shipping is included in the product cost.

But I am loosing interest in his new shows. Don't like the hours. I keep missing them and don't want to get up at 3 in the morning. Shows are way too short and not as much fun. And as others have said he still has some of his products missing. Don't want to order them on the Skinn website. Talk about higher prices. And yes bring back the kits. Thats were his customers feel like they are getting true value. I will give them a few more months to get their act together.

The original was always in a small jar, like that. You don't need much, and usually for targeted areas, so it last longer than one would think. I bought it from Evine one year when we had a terrible winter and I would pre-treat areas on my face before going out to shovel snow. I'm pretty sure that jar was $40. So with the eye product included in the set, it's not a bad price.

@FlowerBear I did a search and located an old thread that @JeanLouiseFinch started in Oct 2015 which was coincidentally entitled Skinn Rose Noir Balm.

Below is a post from her thread. She's right about the price and the $40 was during a visit. It's easy to find prices of items thanks to the many old Skinn threads from Evine appearances. We shouldn't bump them but we can search.

Thanks JFL!

I missed this presentation, it is now $48, not $39.80. It has 7 rose oils, I want to try this!. Did you get the lower price? I'll wait for a coupon for $10.00 before I order, but looks great especially with the colder weather coming here to the northeast. I have such dry skin, I do a mositure mask every day, so my skin should love this over my mositurizer.

You're welcome, @AnnMarie-1. Yes, I was able to get the lower price and put it on auto-delivery for that price (just in case I liked it). I really like Evine's auto-delivery policy. You pay the shipping on the first order, but future shipments ship for free.

You have to look at both sides... with Evine the shipping costs were terrible high.... but better prices.... With HSN you get free shipping and higher prices... I think it all evens out.

Just as an aside, do the rose noir products have a strong fragrance? I was thinking of ordering it and it says it has rose scent and I'm sensitive to fragrance. Also, do they help with fine lines and wrinkles or purely for dry skin. Thanks.

Neck armour is 4 ounces. I have the 6 ounce . Oh well. That is how it is now.

If his products last at least 2/3 months the prices are reasonable. Divide the cost by 2. That’s pretty good. Most would spend that in a month going out of lunch or dinner or even Starbucks. I don’t mind the s/h costs. Saves me gas and the headache of going out shopping. (In California gas is as high as $5.00/gallon 😱😳) “Happy Easter everyone” 🙋🏻💐🐣🐇

I'm pretty sure that the 6 oz. jar was a special offer. 4 oz. is the usual size.

@FlowerBear- I believe the regular size of Neck Amour is 4 oz., that is what I have. Also the bonus size was 8 oz.

There's a definite rose scent, but it's more natural than synthetic, if that makes a difference. It's supposed to help with fine lines with continued use, but I was only using it at certain times for moisture and protection. I rely on other parts of my skincare to deal with the lines.

Everything is more expensive than years ago, from grocieries to skincare. Dimitri surely has higher prices for ingredients. Skinn's products are of high quality and a mere dab is all one needs. A value in comparison with all alternatives.

Agree, I would classify it as a soft rose scent- reminds me of that rose lip balm we used many years ago....

I actually haven't watched Dimitri since he made the switch to HSN.

Re: Skinn Product- Does anyone agree??

Phantom41 — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 17:46:46 GMT

I haven't been able to catch his new shows either but he has slowly been outpricing me anyway. I like several of his products but I've been switching to other brands when I run out of Skinn.

Re: Skinn Product- Does anyone agree??

FlowerBear — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 11:10:19 GMT

Thanks everyone. Some good points. But when on a budget I feel I do have to find products that are less expensive. I do try and look for free SH and sometimes even that is not enough to be affordable. It is very different now that he is on HSN.

I won;t be ordering anymore---I had alot to use up and the rest I just threw out. Not that impressed with the line and really didn't see much of the "life changing" results that were promised.. but if HYPE is an ingredient---its got plenty of that!!!

If you think Dimitri’s products are too pricey, at Sephora you can get The Ordinary line ( as some have spoken about) and a new line at Sephora The Inkey List ( found out about these products on Musings Of A Muse’s website). I haven’t used either line so I can’t speak as to how they perform but both lines are very affordable ( plus Sephora has an upcoming sale).
