I know this is probably a crazy question but with prices what they are at this time....would you choose SKINN with his 25% or SSC with carzy good prices for huge kits. I know Skinn has a better ingredient deck but $$$ speak also.

 

Just give me some food for thought cause Skinn is still higher priced and never on TV much. His last show were DERMAPEEL and a few other items...disappointing. TX

You are certainly correct on the ingredient deck comparison, but SHQ is a turnoff to me with its $7 shipping fees, sometimes that is about 30% of the cost of the actual item.

@Shelbelle  OMG...I was going to get a few kits so I could be stocket BUT the cost of the kits was $58 and tax was $28. They are CRAZY!!!! I am not going to pay that for mediocre skin care at best just because I would have enough in case I cannot get any.

 

Even when SSC is trying to do their part and reduce cost...SHQ is adding all that shipping. and tax. 

 

I hope they wake up before Shop HQ is unsustainable. Forget them.

Hi, Sandy, you were probably ordering 4 kits each with $7 shipping fee, we all have to pay tax now so that cant be helped. Try finding some items you really wanted to try on Ebay, that is what I do. Yes, I often feel bad for the vendors who are forced to be victims of their ridiculous shipping costs.

Dimitri is a turn off for me !  Completely fake with his hair transplants, cosmetic procedures etc.  Why would I buy his line when he obviously feels he needs "more" than the line can provide.  Old fashioned Oil of Olay, soap and water was what I was trained on.

@Reever  I'm a fan of Neutrogena myself.  No fancy, high priced items for me.

Neutrgoena is a perfectly acceptable line Kaydee50.   Some of these lines charging 100 dollars per ounce should be investigated by the Better Business Bureau.  Highway robbery for sure.

Have used both brands and like a few things but not going to buy anymore. I use to use SSC Olive Oil line but that is history now and I like dermappeal and a.m. cleansing lotion from Skinn, and a few other things but hate SHQ shipping cost as another poster saidSo won't be buying anymore ---I have so much to use up can't justify buying more from any brand.

Quality or quantity, the choice is ours to make. I go for quality & pick top items from different lines when they are heavily discounted.
