QVC- you are making false claims.

Josie's Argon 'Milk' can not in any way erase wrinkles as you show in your before and after 'pictures.' Physically impossible. Your other vendors make other wild claims. Numbers can be manipulated in many ways in 'clinical studies.' Topical products cannot do what your vendors claim.  Your company has lost all credibility with me.

Antonella may have gone out on a limb with that statement.

Usually, beauty peddlers do say that a product will reduce the "appearance" of fine lines and wrinkles.

HSN mutes those kind of claims.  QVC must not have someone to do that or they just aren't strict with those kind of rules.  Sometimes on HSN the vendor's mouth moves and every now and then a word comes out they have to mute them so much.  lol

BINGO - the key word in their pitch - "the appearance".    As much as I like Dr. Perricone's products I can not listen to Dana anymore.  All her clinic blah blah statements is just empty talk.  And the 'before' and 'after' pictures are a total joke.

Re: QVC- you are making false claims.

I hear your replies about 'the appearance'....SOMETIMES it is said- often not. Josie and Jane T were carrying on about the Argon Milk and the 'pictures' and never once said appearance. I have also heard Dr. Denese and the Perricone vendor rave about 'firming' and even the vendors promise firming of jowls. Its an FCC violation just like QVC was in trouble over some candy claims by the FCC years ago.

I don't know how philosophy can call it's AG emulsion firming? It's all hype. Which host or vendor looks  years younger than they did a few years or months ago?  If such a product comes to be it will not be sold on QVC for $75.00 you can be sure of that.

Even botox and fillers don't do that. Nothing can compensate for the loss of bone and tissue that occurs with aging. Nothing.

Re: QVC- you are making false claims.

I don't know how many of you remember a product that was constantly presented on QVC years ago that supposedly immediately  eliminated the look of wrinkles, particularly crows feet.  I can't remember the name of it but they would show one

of the older models (who is still there) having the clear liquid applied.  And, yes, the appearance of lines did lessen.  But in reading the customer responses which were extremely negative, it was pointed out that if you kept your face completely still after applying the product, yes, the lines would be minimized.  The problem was that if you smiled or made other facial movements, the product kind of cracked and made the wrinkles look worse than ever.  And sure enough, the model on air never smiled after having the product applied.  QVC must have had a great inventory of the stuff because they sold it for years after all thse awful reviews were posted.  I always think of the product when I see only close-up before and after pictures of various products supposedly showing how crows feet seem so much milder in the after picture.  You can never see the whole face and so I suspect the person is smiling is the before picture which emphasizes the crows feet, while there is no smiling in the after picture.

OneFineDay ~ Jose and many other vendors are perfect examples of the adage, "Let the buyer beware." Anyone who falls for that nonsense is keeping QVC and Jose in business! Blows my mind when I hear those sales pitches over and over. Cannot fathom who falls for those gimmicks. It's like buying snake oils.
