It's extremely sad that this kind of thing goes on. Even worse in my mind when women front these companies. I'm hoping to work in the beauty field and reading about brands like these really puts of me off. No wonder in that recent survey more and more women could not give a damn about new products and their claims.
forgive me for this but at this point after so many posts on Rodial, it does sound like an attack. what you claim about profit margins, efficacy, etc etc goes for the majority of cosmetics. Just ask ask a derm about the claims of products from major beauty companies, and they will all say 'it is just stupid'.
While I understand your point about them making big claims, yet why don't we or pick on Lancome or x big company as well? do you think their claims are better? what about that claim that Kate Middy is a fan of their visionnaire serum? Shouldn;t they be reprimanded for that? Anyway, while they should be careful about their claims in general for example but we do buy because we want to feel nice. i personally dont think their claims are serious and consumers aren't that stupid either. the reason I don't buy Rodial is the exhorbitant prices (although I think their glamtox eyecream is great).
hi Leinti.. yes I do see your point, but the post is directly linked to the fact the Rodial has again been reprimanded by the ASA - the other brands (to by knowledge) have not. It's a talking point because they have been under scrutiny by the ASA I think about 9 times and i don't know another beauty brand that has the same record with the ASA. So, yes of course, claims are in many cases dubious from many brands, but the entire point is that larger brands are in the lucky position of being able to conduct clinicals that prove their claims. You'll always find a lot of 'may increase hydration, may reduce wrinkles etc' or 9 out of 10 cats saw their chins firm by 20% etc! It's all in very careful wording and I do not think that Rodial are careful enough.. and or do the ASA. As I said, the products themselves are fine, but the brand pushes the boundaries of what it is ok to promise the consumer and I don't think that is right for the consumer.
Oh and I should point out that the £3.80 is not mentioned as a Rodial product, but more as an example of products that cost little to make but cost a lot to buy.
"sold for over £120 costs only £3.80 to produce " omg, if i find out that a product i bought for £120 only cost £3.80 to produce, i am really going to cry. I hope it's not the eyelash growth products. One day, I'd love to try the glamtox product, but i would like to purchase it at 66% or something outrageous like that. That's the only product in the whole range that I would want to try xx
Actually liloo Latisse IS extremely cheap. The generic form, bimatoprost, can be bought over the internet from pharmacies in India for around £10 plus shipping charges that are quite high but in no way add up to the cost derms are charging for it in their offices.
I wenty into Space NK and looked at their new Dragons blood line,. Im quite into my ingredients so i looked at the Cleanser that said its got Hyaluronic acid in and lots fo good things. So i then turned the box over and looked at tehe Ingredients, Guess what!! No hyaluronic acid what so ever !! Ive emialed them and brought it to their attention but no one has got back to me, maybe they are sweating :)
So i was intrigued by this comment about DRAGONS BLOOD CLEANSER. The packaging states: "triple action Hyaluronic facial cleanser". The ingredients have no mention of that ingredient. I checked with a chemist and there is nothing in this formula other than water and rose essence....! Surely this is in breach of ASA and cosmetic regulations> should SPACE NK be endorsing this on their homepage and windows??????? SHOCKING

Sometimes I wonder whether rodial are stupid or whether they think consumers are? I'm so sceptical of any of ther claims now...
Well at least we can be comforted by the fact that Rodial are a company who learn from their mistakes....
Totally agree
