Sueeich -- Boy, did your post bring back memories. I, too, used Laszlo exclusively back in the day -- when you still got "clocked," you couldn't buy products without presenting your membership card, you got periodic skin evaluations from the Laszlo rep, etc. I was influenced by the celebrity women who used Laszlo at the time, mainly Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe (there was even a bottle of some Laszlo product on Monroe's nightstand in photos taken after her death).
Like you, I had extremely oily/acne prone skin; I was clocked at a 3:30 (the usual clock ended at 3). I had just graduated from college and started my working life, and I had to save like crazy to be able to afford the products. But -- Laszlo left me with absolutely beautifu skin. It was a miracle.
But as you probably remember, something happened (sale of company??? I don't know) and the Laszlo line became smaller in the stores and products increasingly harder to find. Eventually I just gave up. Haven't found anything as good.
I agree with you that the line isn't the same today. They have a lot of strange products now, and many of the core products are gone. I don't know who owns it. Wish I could advise you, but I'm at a loss. I guess I just wanted to reply to your post and commiserate with you. If you decide to pursue this and find out anything positive, would love to know. Good luck.
