All scams.
@Still Raining I didn't buy into the whole spiel about the book, but do like and use some of her products. What I'm suspicious of are new Tatcha products now that the company has been sold. Wish I could remember what she introduced, so I guess I did have some trust in what she was producing.

What irks me is when they change the ingredients in my "tried and true" products. Or discontinue the products altogether.
Then it's back to square one again.

No @KKJ I don't believe he's climbing the highest elevations to get these rare ingredients for his hair products. He's using his marketing skills as he did with Ojon to successfully sell Tweak'd. I don't use his products, but they must be good since a lot of people like them.

I don't watch QVC. Used to in the early 2000s and I was shopping cookware and Diamonique. It seems like a lot of these beauty brands just sell on QVC?? I'm not familar with a lot of the products you ladies talk about.
I think that there ARE new products with NEW ingredients as they are being discovered are beneficial for skincare. What you guys are using now and loving was new at some point. And maybe your mothers and grandmothers said the same thing about products you're lovin' For example, I had a sample of Glow Recipe PHA/BHA Toner. Used it last night. Not sure but that might have been the most hydrated and soft my facial skin has ever been since I was born Do you think anyone, 50 years ago, would have thought about putting watermelon and cactus juices on their faces? Do you think anyone, 50 years ago, would have thought about putting snail snot on their faces? Don't even try to get between me and my snail snot! LOL
Tried and true is great. There's a reason for that title. But new products CAN evolve and someday may be a "tried and true" product

I have oily blemish prone skin and kept hearing how I need a moisterizer even for oily skin. I finally learned to use my own common sense and never use anything but a serum that is not tacky. That is it for moisture and I don't have anymore breakouts or milia. I do believe there are some products that help your skin look better but nothing will turn back the clock. Those pictures they show are a joke. Most of the time I cannot even tell a difference in the pictures.

I won't watch skin care presentations for that very reason. Every new brand touts a new far-fetched ingredient to get our attention. The more far-fetched, the more money they charge. And people will pay it! That's what amazes me. Like Barnum said, there's one born every minute. Yes, and they're watching TV shopping channels.
I stay with the tried and true. The old standards. I found products my skin loves and stick with them. Skin care does not have to be expensive to work.

Yes! And after touting their product for months and months, bam! Out comes the "new and improved" formula of the same stuff. If it was so good, why'd they have to improve it?

We’ve come along way from Venetian Ceruse.
Always Happy to use science, and my own common sense before trying anything new.
