IMO these presentations are smoke and mirrors. All Dana talks about is "powerful" and "drama"..,even Leah is mimicking the same buzzwords. I'm impressed he's written 10 books and Dana has a job, but tell me ingredients and how they work together. I'd rather listen to Skinn and Isomers at least they talk about their product. Thank you good doctor but you're a pass.

For $200, they'd have to talk a lot to convince me that it's better than anything else I can purchase.

I just watched a presentation.  Are Perricone products all that?  What justifies those "powerful" prices?   Holy Cow!  I use cheap stuff and my complexion is very happy, healthy, glowing, and wrinkle-free.   Sorry, Dana, but I don't get it.

I agree with you on the presentations . I got the TSV.  Perricone is my main go to skin care line for about 10-12 years and the one that gives me the best most noticeable results.  The price is not inexpensive, but what they are giving you in the TSV and how long it lasts makes it VERY WORTH IT FOR ME.

It's not just Perricone who embellishes on their products.  They all do - they have to get "under our skin" in order to talk us into buying their products - it's their job.  Now, you don't have to fall for it - I don't because I don't believe you have to pay that much for a good face product.

I watch these presentations when they come on and have to remark that the older gray haired woman that they slather the product on every promo, and only on ONE SIDE of her face all day long .... has a dramatic difference in the two sides of her face!  

 

I don't believe the one application has done this because they keep talking about the accumulative affects of this system and they don't tell the audience this!  Also this lady has been their model for this presentation for years!  So the assumption is that you apply a pea sized amount and viola... but that isn't so and needs to be addressed by the vendor/host.

I understand what you are saying and I agree, but..... I listen to the Isomers presentations and she goes into detail about the science. She sounds good. I try the product and it does nothing for my skin. I do not see any changes. I use Perricone and my skin loves it. After I use a product up I get mad at spending so much and try other things Nothing works better for me. I do not only use Perricone I have some other brands that I also use. It took me a long time to get my routine. I think it is trial and error for most of us.

I always love the before and after photos they show us for these over-priced products.  Only those with the most vivid imaginations can perceive any difference.

I used to think the same thing, tried Perricone a few times, saw no difference, sent them back. Plus the scent in some of them gagged me. Then I fell for a presentation on Neuropeptides and got them. They have made a difference in my skin (full disclosure, I've always had good skin but want to maintain what I can). I notice when I haven't used these products for a while and switch to something else (I've seemingly tried most of what's out there). I always go back to these. Some of their products don't work well for me but the Neuropeptide line does. Currently I switch btwn the Perricone peptides and Dr Gross ferulic acid/retinol products (which I use much less frequently than the Perricone, probably only once or twice a week) I only ever use any of these at night, when the skin is calm and regenerating. Daytime, I use plain old stuff...

I know, I just watched her apply the facial cream to 1/2 a forehead and rave about the "extraordinary" difference. There was no perceptible difference whatsoever! Really!!
