Skin Fix eczema + hand repair

I love this product!  It really works great.  I bought it from QVC a few years ago, when it was around $4.50 per tube for 3 ounces.  I see QVC no longer sells this product.  But it is now sold for $24 a tube.  This is outrageous, over a 500% increase.  How could this be?

Is it still being produced by the manufacturer?

 

I've seen price jumps like this when there's no longer a steady supply being produced, or when the original formula has changed and the new formula isn't as effective as the old one.

 

This happened to things I've loved, and I scramble to buy from eBay or wherever.

 

IF THIS IS THE CASE for your item, the longer you wait, the lower the supply and the higher the price will go.

@Amelia Z ... Try Amazon.  Can't remember the price I paid, but that's where I got mine.

Skinfix has discontinued lots of items tems but the Eczema+hand cream is still available on their website, 1oz is $8.00 & 3oz is $18 & if you subscribe it's $16.20. Some buyers mentioned the price went up when Skinfix teamed with another retailer but didn't mention the retailers name. Anyway, sadly the price is the price...Good Luck @Amelia Z.

Hi I did check amazon.  29 & 35 per 3 oz tube. CRAZY!  I found it on ebay for $10 but had to buy 5 tubes.  So I'm good.  I checked the ingredients between the old and new and they are the same.  So it must be a manufacturing issue.  I emailed the company.  I doubt I'll get a reply.
