Perricone not allowed? No one is?

Dee in OK · ‎03-30-2012

A caller just asked Mary Beth and Dana if the Perricone product would help with her under eye puffiness, Dana told her that they were not allowed to claim products helped with under eye puffiness, that "no one" is allowed to claim that. She advised the caller to watch her sodium intake.

I knew I had seen other beauty products make that claim, so I did a quick google, and sure enough, many products claim to reduce under eye puffiness. Clinique's All About Eyes claims in large print, on the front of the jar, to reduce "puffs."

I don't understand why Perricone is "allowed" to claim all kinds of benefits from their products, but not allowed to claim a decrease in under eye puffiness. Makes no sense.

She's probably talking about per Q legal standards, none of the vendors can say that. They may not have clinical studies to back it up.

Lol, it's the secret science. Perricone shows are the most evasive in terms of demos & ingredient details. Do you recall the item? I would like to pull up the video.

Chi-town girl, no I don't recall the item. The presentation was maybe 15 minutes ago, or so. They were discussing some sort of eye product and a viewer called in asking if it would help her puffiness. That's when Dana told her she was not allowed to claim the product reduces puffiness and advised her to cut back on sodium

advised her to cut back on sodium

is that medical or dietary advice? (kind of funny imho)

Oh well, I would rather hear someone say they can't make specific claims than say a product will do everything short of a facelift, like some of those internet ads do.

It's always a "mom" who makes some great discovery on the internet.

OMG, that is too funny. Can't tell you the eye cream is effective, but cut back on sodium-so what does the eye cream do? And now she's offering dietary advice. So much for her sales expertise as I suspect that caller decided not to purchase. Q is on quite a roll these days, lol.

Happens to be true. Sodium makes the body retain water and for those who suffer with puffiness, it does make the puffiness worse.

I know it's true, but if she not qualified to recommend a cosmetic, how is she qualified she give dietary/medical advise? Maybe they just consider it "common sense"
