Buying Name Brand Products at eBay Prices

Hi Jean,

Have been following your blog each day and love the info you provide. Thanks so much for the advice you had given me for my dark circles earlier in the year.

I must say I love the series you just did on the 5 Easy Steps: Ageless Beauty’s Guide to What’s Best for Your Aging Skin .

I got my mum using PTR Un-Wrinkle Day with SPF 20, Un-Wrinkle Eye, Un-Wrinkle Night and the Peel Pads. Still early days yet, so we are going to have a wait a little to reap the benefits.

She is 58, has beautiful skin (hope I take after her), a little sagging in the cheeks and fold lines as well as deep 11 lines between eyebrows and on her forehead.

I would like to ask what you think of skin care products sold on eBay which are well below retail prices.

I bought my mum the PTR Un-Wrinkle Night cream for example for only $38 plus postage which is a bargain. It arrived perfectly sealed and the manufacturer's code is also okay - 09L26 - meaning 26th Dec 2009.

I contacted PTR and inquired about this. They informed me that sellers on eBay are not authorized by PTR; so it’s best to buy from DERMAdoctor or various others who are.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think PTR or other skin care brands sold on eBay at half their retail price are still effective for use?

Thanks in advance. Can’t wait to hear from you!!

Regards,
Aylin
