Re: Anyone use SSC Retinol Serum?

That kit is a great deal. I had previously ordered the one with the peel pads in it nd the retinol just to try it out. I guess as long as he has those kits it's a great deal. Actually what I have on AD is not available anymore for purchase but still shows active on my AD. It ends up costing me about $175 every 3 months for 2 ozs retinol & 2 os Unwrinkle night cream. But it's good stuff and I've seen results.

Re: Anyone use SSC Retinol Serum?

On 10/16/2014 InGOT said: There is a PTR boxed set for about $50.00 on QVC. It has a 0.5 oz retinol fusion, the full size FirmX peel, cleansers for face and body and a small cucumber masque and a decent sized oil. I canceled once then found the price of the kit less than the one FirmX elsewhere. Even on Amazon the retinol fusion is 55 plus dollars for an ounce. He loves his oil and I'll trust him on this one. So I had it reinstated .

I haven't tried PC yet. I'll check out her products too. I know she's very popular nd well trusted. I just hate paying more if I don't have to. I like to shop too much...

Re: Anyone use SSC Retinol Serum?

I know that, unfortunately, PTR is not cruelty free. I learned about it on the boards here not that long ago.
