I'm not saying the prices aren't high, however, when you think of Dr Denese, Perricone, Elemis, etc., shown here on the Q, the prices aren't any higher than some of those products. Not criticizing anyone for bringing up the increase in the prices, just trying, for myself, to put it in perspective.

True, but then what hasn't gone up in price lately? He uses quality ingredients and I'm sure they must be costing him more.

I am not criticizing the vendor because he has worked hard to achieve his appearance and the important thing is that he is happy with the way he looks but I find it difficult to believe in the effectiveness of the skincare products sold by someone who has had so much plastic surgery.

@JudyL , He claims that he is the manufacturer of many high end products, so therefore, he can sell HIS productsat a reduced price. If he is pricing his products the same as the higher end products, that claim doesn't hold water, IMO.

Yes the prices have increased but so have the prices on most other skincare. Sadly I can not watch him as his face seems so disfigured with plastic surgery. He looks so different and not in a good way from his days on another channel.

@Icegoddess - I don't think his prices are the same as the higher end products shown on the Q. For example, Elemis sells a 1.6oz nighttime moisturizer for $170. All I'm saying is that his prices aren't more than those higher end options so yes, they have gone up but not more so than other brands.

One of the reasons I stopped purchasing Skinn products was because of the prices and the other is because Dmitri has clearly had work done like many of the other vendors selling beauty products which is their prerogative but I choose not to support them. I am comfortable aging naturally and look good doing so.

I don't use Skinn. I went in hard when he was on ShopHQ but his products clog my pores fiercely. I don't get the mindset of I won't use his products because he had work done. I have had some things done, You still need good skincare for your skin.

When he was on Evine/Shop HQ I bought about everything he had They had amazing kits.

I use his AM & PM face cleansers, but when I use them up I will not purchase them anymore due to the price. There is other face cleansers out there that will do the job.

And the one thing I will still purchase is his DermAppeal. I absolutely love this stuff. I love the way my face feels after using and my makeup goes on much better.

Agree, he looks like a 20 yr old, He must have had a full face lift and other cosmetic surgery. Dimitri James (b. July 21, 1950, in Somerville, NJ) .

Not the same Dimitri James, Dimitri from Skinn is 61, he announces it every few minutes.

Are you sure that it is the right Dimitri?? I thought I heard him say not long ago that he was in his 50s??? 1950 would make him my age. I can't really find his age online.

Definitely not the same person, if you watch Dimitri on HSN he tells you every five minutes he is 61.

I believe he's had some fillers, but will someone explain how he can have the required recovery time from plastic surgery when he's jetting to all the shopping networks he appears on? Even if he has had anything done, so what?!

Again, for the umteenth time, the repositioning of muscle and skin have ZERO to do with caring for the actual skin. They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. 🤦‍♀️

Luvitorleaveit1 — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 16:51:16 GMT

@MG Chris - I too was a major Skinn buyer at Shophq, in fact other than the Invicta shows Skinn was the only reason I watched and used his products faithfully. I agree, good skin care is an absolute necessity if you want to look your best and I have been taking care of my skin since my teens just like I watched my mother take care of hers well into her 90's.

Re: Skinn

Luvitorleaveit1 — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 16:57:00 GMT

@skatting44 - wow I never knew his age but always thought he looked so youthful. I think I was buying his products since he was on Shophq and whatever it was called before, that's at least 25 or more years ago.

@JeanLouiseFinch - I agree with you. You are so right about skin care. He's also lost quite a bit of weight (you can tell in the promo pics on HSN) which does change the look of one's face. All most of us want to do is talk about his products, questions, etc. Goodness be, I'm so tired of all these SKINN bashing posts. Every. Single. Time. He's on. Not only do people bash vendors, products, but also other posters. I'm done here.
