Does anyone remember...

KD in OKC — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 00:15:42 GMT

Does anyone remember the name of the hair and skincare company that was on QVC a lot back when Kathy Levin was still a host? It was supposed to be a family business and a man always presented with the hosts. The packaging was blue, green and white and I want to say "Hydra" was part if the name. I miss the days when there was more variety of products and stuff you couldn't find everywhere.

@ QVC had a skincare line called Hydron a long time ago.

I remember that. Was it Hydron skin care? it seems like his name was Harvey.

I loved watching Saturday mornings when Jane would come on with a line of skin care I think it was French. I can't remember the name. Sometimes her sister would be with her. I ordered from this line once in awhile.

I remembered a young man who's family owned a skin care line. It was called Babor, I think that was the name.

Yes! Thank you so much! It was Hydron and the man was "Hydron Harvey". This was really bugging me. Thanks for your good memories!

@50MickeyI believe that makeup line was called Eve Roche. Not sure about the spelling, my French isn't that good. ETA -- sorry, @50Mickey didn't see the above post.

You are right. Yves Rocher. I miss those shows. Evidently this company is still in business.

I remember Hydron very well. Boy Kathy sure loved it and was an excellent sales person for it. But I don't know whatever happened to it. One of those products that just disappeared!

You must mean Borba with Scott Vincent Borba. That was only about 15 years ago. Hydron is classic QVC.

For some reason I remember JRT going gaga over ISPEHAN fragrance by Yves Rochet. If I remember correctly it was the only fragrance she ever wore. On another note, does anyone remember when JRT left QVC? She started selling on her own website. How long was she away?

After Harvey left the Q, he sold Hydron on HSN, then took it to SHQ under a new name. No long after that, he and his line disappeared.

Jane T left the Q in 2004, said her kids needed more time from her. She started a line of silver jewelry online and it didnt go over big. A year later she was back at the Q, said her kids were just fine with her going back to work.

Jane used to sell Yves Rocher. I bought a lot of it. It always came with "free gifts" and samples.

My favorite skin care product at the Q was Liz Earle (I think that's the name) that Jill Bauer just loved. It was an English product and each product smelled divine. One of the products I bought came with cotton cloths which were the softest and best cloths I ever used. I wish Liz Earle had been offered for a longer time.

@dulwich, do you know these products?

Re: Does anyone remember...

dulwich — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 03:20:03 GMT

@Pearlee Yes I know this U.K. line I believe the company was purchased by Boots - large pharmacy chain - they still sell the products in all their many stores. Liz Earle also had a couple of very upmarket spa/treatment places in U.K.

You can still order online I believe as I buy some Boots products from Amazon here.
