DR BARBARA STURM SKINCARE - The Truth | Shocking Lack Of Transparency
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- The Dr Barbara Sturm skincare brand is one of the most hyped and much loved by celebrities but the truth is it is one we should all be avoiding. Find out why in this Dr Barbara Sturm review
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin. Today we are talking Dr Barbara Sturm skincare, a brand which I constantly get questions on and whether there is a place for it in our skincare routines. The truth is that there are a number of issues which this brand which need to be called out and I will be doing just that in this Dr Barbara Sturm review.
From Kim Kardashian to just about every participant of the Harpers Bazaar Go To Bed With Me series its hard to escape the Dr Barbara Sturm skin care line but with it firmly sitting in the luxury skincare category it is hard to see how the products justify the price point.
Beyond just the high price point for the Dr Barbara Sturm hyaluronic serum there are issues of a lack of transparency and also with some problematic products which I will call out in this video.
This skin care review is in no way meant to discredit Dr Sturm herself who has built this line of products and clearly invested a great deal of time and whom I speak highly of but the brand and the formulations have a long way to go before they can justify the high price point of the products.
I would love to know your own thoughts on Dr Barbara Sturm skin care so please leave me a comment below. Would you pay $250 for a hyaluronic acid serum?
If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more full brand reviews then please give it a thumbs up to let me know.

Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin. I have been contacted so often from people considering purchasing from this brand and so I thought it was time for me to share my thoughts on it.. I would love to know your thoughts and feelings so please leave me a comment below.. Sending you lots of love xxxxx
Very few u tubers mention this brand so I assume they don’t send out PR or sponsor videos unless you are an A list celebrity
Q: What do you think is better, or just as good but cheaper than the STRUM growth cycle hair supplement ? Thank you.
For those prices I would expect Dr. Sturm to come by twice a day to apply the products to my face!
Now that's funny Tom. I also expect to be wrinkle free. :)
Hahahah right?!?!?
I would only pay that price if the product made me look 10 years younger in 24 hours or less !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember MANY years ago, one had to spend money to get the most advanced skincare products. I also remember when drugstore brands started making their own versions of these products. If a brand like Estee Lauder dropped an innovative skin cream, then six months later, the drugstore would have it. (1980's) Now, the affordable products have their ow R & D labs!
I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Barbara Sturm was introduced to The Ordinary🤨😂😂😂😂
Haha OMG Patti i would love to be a fly on the wall in that introduction.. We are so blessed today to have access to so many great products so we don't need to rely on these overpriced options not delivering the benefit. Happy Friday Hun and sending you so much love xxxxx
I just love your blatant honesty and no holds barred commentary. Keeping these brands and their crazy prices (for barely anything) on their toes! I love it!! It is time these brands respect consumers and give full information.
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you for watching.. sending you lots of love xxxx
Thank you for stating the bottom line up front! I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for your final opinion and that was very appreciated!
THANKKK YOUUU!!!! 👏👏👏👏 bravo!!!! You are the ONLY skin care content creator that tells it how it is. I love your 100% honesty & being trustworthy
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you for all your support it means a lot to me... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I was waiting to treat myself but good thing I found your video!
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video before. So glad I stumbled upon it. I love Dr. BS content.
Absolutely EXCELLENT review and I agree 💯 percent with everything you said. The price is straight up gouging for what you get. A great high end Korean skincare line is Sulwhasoo. Their price point is high BUT for what you are getting in terms of ingredients it’s a great line if you wanted to splurge. If I was to splurge, Sulwhasoo is what I would splurge on. Although I enjoy watching Dr. Sturm’s videos on her products, I just cannot justify paying $250 for a hyaluronic acid when I have a Korean one called BAHA that is $9.99 for 2 oz; which has 100% pure hyaluronic acid. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Its a total pleasure hun and you are so right, I have no issue with higher prices so long as it is reflected in the quality of the products which is just not the case with this line.. I will check out your Korean recommendation. sending you lots of love xxxx
Thank you for your honesty
Enjoyed this video!! Agree that her prices are ridiculous and I'm honestly not a fan of their marketing. I would prefer more science in skincare marketing. HOWEVER, I am lucky enough to have had a chance to buy and try almost everything in her line and I have loved 80% of her products. And have repurchased and still using some of my favorites 3 years later lol.. Some of her formulations are really good!!! Also to take note that not all similar ingredients are formulated the same way. The formulation process in different labs are different. And that's eventually part of what you're paying for. For the labs to run, for the chemists to research and formulate, for the lab environment to be kept at optimum levels etc. I actually do have better skin because of her products so that is proof enough for me that her products are very well-formulated. Are there other brands that would probably work the same, yes. Is it worth the pricepoint if you're concerned about budget, absolutely freaking not. I have never paid full price for her products. I get them on cultbeauty every 4 mths or so when there are 20% discounts.. I'm not in UK or EU so I get around 16% tax off too. So on a good promo day, most of my Barbara Sturm products I pay 36% lesser lol 😍😍
I stopped buying luxury skincare years ago the more I learned about skincare. It's literally n e v e r actually worth it. The thing that really made me sceptical was when I wanted to try La Mer and skimmed thru the ingredients and was shocked by how mediocre they were.
wow....just wow. for those prices one could have a spa treatment which would last way longer and have way more benefit. thanks for your transparency and protecting the consumer whilst being respectful the whole time. who’s a rockstar? You are🙂
Omg I m glad I listen to your review. I saw lots of celebrities mentioned this brand & wonder about it? I just bought a small kit on sale but not use yet. I will return it then .
Thank you for your review!
It is expensive.
Wonderful review! Dr Sturm's hyaluronic serum actually costs $300.00 here in the US! wow
I have no interest in this brand. I'm just here for my daily dose of Rob. 😍
So true!
Awww thank you so so much hun and I hope you are having an amazing weekend... sending you lots of love xxxx
You've literally said everything I've been thinking of the brand...
I have noticed anytime celebs advertise this they mention that Barbara sturm is a friend of there's, like Cher, Paris Hulton etc.
I was confused by the sun drops, generally the spf rating is graded by mm by square inch or something? Usually a teaspoon of sunscreen for face and neck right? I just can't see how thats protective enough and surely it wouldn't last a week...
I'm sure it would be nice, but the cost is just to obscene.
Would Love to see your thoughts on Dr russo "once a day" sunscreen brush on gel...
Brilliant! Finally, the truth about the range. i have t tell you ive kown this for a while....
Lol I'm too poor/cheap to buy this brand. I could never justify spending more than $40 on a single product. I'll stick with my drugstore and Asian products thank you very much. For $250 I could get botox or a chemical peel which would be far more worth it. Great video I enjoy watching you.
I totally agree with you hun, for these prices an in office treatment would give so much better results.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Looking forward to it, see ya then 😊
Thank hun and looking forward to chatting to you then :) xxxxxx
The face of Barbara herself doesn't convince me to use her products. She looks older than her age.
I must say the only product Id love to have a dupe of is the face cream. The other products dont impress me at all. They're good but not that I can justify breaking my pockets for them. Thank you for what you do. xx
I mean… I have tried her The Good C serum and it felt so lovely on my skin and made it super soft and bright/radiant! It’s really expensive, I agree. I am still debating with myself whether or not to buy the actual bottle of it. I only tried the tester version.
Hey. What do you think of the Augustin Bader brand?
oh the joy of having a straight up answer to your question, 30 seconds into the video… you’re a real one
Thank you so much for watching.. love xx
@@MadAboutSkin ❤️❤️
🤣🤣 LOVED THIS! I really was trying to see the Hype! but the brand just wasn’t making sense to me especially for the PP
Haha I know what you mean... I just cant see the hype and how they can justify these price points... sending you lots of love xxxxx
was gonns spend 800 dollars on this brand during the VIB sale...took it all out of my basket! Thanks for this!
Love ur YT name. I literally can’t decide a name. I have maxed out my instagram accounts for one person because I am thinking “what if I want that name later?” Not a good habit
Ding ding ding 💗🌷💕!!! ... $250 is out of the question but always like heating your view!
Haha even if I was able to spend $250 on a product I wouldn't on any of this lol, I think people would get more value spending the money on a visit to the derm for a treatment than on this.. sending you so much love xxxxx
Great video! Are there any very high priced products from other brands that you think are worth it?
Hey hun thank you so much for watching.. I love NIOD and think they are totally worth it and so is a lot of Sunday riley products which are also pricy.. Sending lots of love xxxx
I have oily dry skin and normally loations sting or turn my skin red and I hate putting them on because I feel greesey and don't like getting dressed afterwards. I will say her body loation is the best I have ever used. I can't even tell I put it on. Obviously it's not cheap but I have shopped around and been able to find bottles around$40.00 I just paid $20 for my last bottle so that's worth it to me.
I have received a few different samples of Dr Sturms products from GWP and advent calendars etc.
To be honest, I wasn't mindblown and personally I wouldn't purchase anything. I can't justify spending so much money on products that I can find better somewhere else.
On that note, bring on your skincare line Rob! ♥️
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you so much for your love and support.. I totally agree with you hun, the products I have sampled from them have been super basic and not worth this sky high price point... sending you lots of love xxxx
At the moment, I'm really thinking of purchasing Valmont skincare which is an extremely expensive luxury brand from Switzerland. Could you please review them before I spend my money on possibly overpriced products?
Hi rob I'd love for you to do an review on the inkey list symbright moisturiser as I trust your opinion and I'm not sure whether i should buy it or not 😂💕
Hi hun, I have a review coming up in the next week so I hope you will enjoy it... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Excellent points, Rob. Also, didn't Dr Sturm herself say that she doesn't use sunscreen? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong but I could swear I heard that somewhere 🤔
Hey hun thank you so so much and I think I have heard that too which is totally unacceptable advice for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Really useful video thank you! You are so right about the SPF serum they are taking the pi**! 😜
Awww thnk you so so much for watching and sending you lots of love xxxx
Thank you for your honest opinion! I have no idea how people promote such ridiculousness. Looking lovely!
The hyaluronic serum in Australia is around $450!! OMG!! Even if I was rich I still wouldn’t buy it! That’s extortion!
Ok now it’s time to breathe 🧘...
Love and hugs to you xx
OMG thats a stupid price lol and people would be better spending that money on a visit to the derm for a treatment rather than spending it on HA and the brightening serum... Sending you lots and lots of love and I hope you are having a great weekend xxxxxx
Thank you for this video! Nobody talks the truth about the line. She doesn’t believe in using spf everyday...I just don’t understand!
She does believe of using SPF everyday; she encourages to get some sun, but protect your skin.
@@claudiaurueta1027she doesn't.She was on Monika Blunder's channel and she said she's not a huge fan of SPF.Look at a 14:00 time mark.
Hi Rob, thank you so much for this great video. It is not quite related to the subject but I was wondering if you could suggest me any eye serum which is beneficial for fine lines and wrinkles please. Also if it is possible I would have liked to hear your thoughts on Dr Denis Grass eye serum.
Hi hun, I think the Dr Denis one is great for hydration but it won't top much for anti ageing. I would recommend looking at the NIOD FECC serum which is the one I swear by and I also love the inkey list retinol eye cream which is great too... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thank you for replying. I would like to try NIOD but some of the reviews are scared me off , because some users left comments saying that; ended up with more wrinkles and fine lines after using it. However, as long as it is you suggesting I will give it a try NIOD FECC and alongside inkey list retinol eye cream too. All the best...
Thanks for this video!! The whole thing almost seems corrupt lol. As most over the top fancy things are 😂
Thank you so so much for watching hun and sending lots of love xxxx
I own Dr. Barbara Sturm cleanser and balancing toner. Would be nice to hear your opinion about those? Got confused how worth their are comparing their price against the results.
I don’t think many celebrities actually buy products they use they are gifted them
I am totally with you hun, I dont think most of them have bought these products but use them as they have been given in PR... sending you so much love xxxxx
Oh shit now!!! I like Dr. Sturm only because it’s a bougie line if that makes any sense. I will likely never pay for those overpriced items. I just enjoy watching her demonstrate how each of her products work.
Oh dont worry I am covering the lack of transparency of the brand and some of the things going in the background the products themselves are ok but hella expensive which is part of the problem... I am totally with you though I love Dr Sturm the way she talks about skin and does her demos :) sending you lots of love xxxxxxx
If someone likes it and can afford it. More power to them
which is the better skin plumper, the inkeylist hyuloronic acid or the polyglutamic acid?
So good to see a boy giving me advice on skincare! I tend to rely more on their advice as females. I mean, they really want you to look gorgeous, don't they? :)
Thank you so so much for watching hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I got the rich face cream as a gift and used it up. It was a very nice PM moisturiser but when I checked the price I choked on my coffee. NEVER.
Haha i know when i saw the prices i nearly choked they are just rediculous for the ingredients being used.. Sending lots of love xxxx
This is such a late comment to add but she was a guest on the podcast BREAKING BEAUTY and she was the most insufferably arrogant guest who answered every question with a nothing burger and contempt. She actually snapped at the hosts because they asked her if a consumer was wondering on the difference between the HA offered by The Ordinary versus her own and she was so offended and asked if they even tried her products. The ladies are not hard hitting journalists who go out of their way to confront their guests and she was just one of the meanest people I’ve ever heard being interviewed. She was so evasive about the specifics of her products and as a consumer that gave me major red flags. I think she’s so used to her countless celebrity endorsements that it’s beneath her to explain her product line. If that’s her attitude I don’t know how she managed to coerce retailers to carry her brand. I will never buy any products from that snake oil foot doctor.
They interviewed Huda Kattan a couple of episodes prior and she was one of the loveliest people I have ever heard be interviewed and not once have I ever considered getting anything from HUDA BEAUTY, but after that I very well might. Being kind, even just civil, really goes a long way.
Wow that sunscreen!! No way that’s 50 if y use a dropper. Great video Rob!!! Some folks are really taken by those celebrity endorsements and would spend money they don’t really need to. Not me, my wallet is zipped tight lol
I totally agree with you there is no way the SPF is the right thing for anyone other than those who have no money issues at all.. I hate to see this price gouging as it is so bad for consumers... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Whoa. This is straight up larceny. I cry when I have to re-purchase the Buffet with copper peptides🤣🤣😂
Haha i know what you mean hun.. Expensive to me is NIOD this is other level rediculous xxxx
Just learned a new word: larceny. I love how intelligent everyone here are 💖
@@msk-qp6fn - For what it's worth, "larceny" is a common legal term. According to our great overlord Google, larceny refers to the theft of personal property with intent to deprive the owner of its use. At $250+ for a single product, Cherese isn't wrong!
@@sluttymctits4496 🤣🤣
I got a 10ml sample from the night serum in an advent calendar ..i don't like it , but it's too expensive to just get rid of it :))
I agree with you the night cream is ok but nothing special and it is a little heavy for my skin so there are better ones for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Excellent breakdown, Rob. I think we can all surmise why this brand is heavily marketed towards celebrities and high end customers, not only because of the cost, but also because most of them tend not to be too discerning about ingredients or worry about effectiveness. They have their exclusive in-office procedures for that. As you said, no shade towards Dr. Sturm, but there's an exploitative nature to this brand that can't be denied.
Hey Kelly.. I hope everything is amazing with you.. I totally agree, i don't mind brands capitalising on popularity but this is exploiting consumers which is just so wrong.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Good point. At best celebs and high end customers are probably just using these as minor additional boosts or feel good experience rather than actual benefits.
I see it like buying a Chanel handbag vs. a regular one. They are status symbol. I just imagine these celebs displaying their BS products in their bathrooms for all to see!
I You just have to email their service team and ask them for the full breakdown of ingredients of an item that you’re interested in and they will 100% send you all that information they have done that on their website to minimize the amount of information on one page of one item that is just a brief recap of the item it is not supposed to include every single ingredient but it is not a secret they are very open about the ingredients and the list of ingredients and will send you any information that you were looking for I would highly encourage you to do I understand your point of view all though you have to understand that every brand has efficacy and every ingredient is backed by science and those that are have information and studies not just online but also another formalities as well she does not endorse meaning she does not pay any of her clients to endorse her products they just do it because they love her products. I do however understand the thinking of why everything is so expensive although I do truly know that the way she creates and the type she creates of her sermons are extremely expensive to make therefore they are going to be higher cost
I only like their hydrating face mist and sun drops cause I hate regular moisturizers/sunscreens cause they never sink into my skin well lol, only downside is its REALLY expensive🙁
Thank you so so much for sharing and sending love xxxxx
I agree with you - thank you for saving people's money. Dr Sturm's products are completely overhyped and overpriced.
can you review Biologique Recherche please? I been trying their products I like em however id love to hear your opinion.
Ah ah no no. I don't want to sell my organs to take care of another organ, my skin. And its formulation is not even that amazing 😅😅😅. Thank you for the clip. ❣️
Haha its a pleasure hun and i totally agree with you xxxx
Sturm is not even a skin specialist she was a sports medicine doctor.
Thank you so much for clarifying this as i couldnt find much information on this xxxxx
????????? Whut?????
Im shocked this changes a lot of thing.....
She's doctor in orthopedics.
The cost of these products is insane! I could never justify spending that kind of money on skin care products when there are perfectly good and effective products that cost a fraction of the price. Hada Labo has multi molecular weights of hyaluronic acid and costs under $20!
It scares me that there are people willing to pay for these products because I fear that it’s driving up the price of other skin care.
I absolutely love Hado Labo! Effective and reasonably priced.
You can buy quite a lot of hair stuff at TK maxx. I'm sure you can imagine how much cheaper it is there.
Thank you so much for sharing hun and sending you lots of love xxxx
Oh, I'm here for this - it seems hugely overpriced and only hyped by people who have been gifted it e.g. celebs.
Haha i think its all a good PR operation and you have to hand it to them they are selling a $250 hyaluronic acid and its selling out lol so they are clearly good at marketing but its such a rip off... I hope you have had a great week and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I do love her products, but yes they are expensive. I started buy most of her line, now I only buy what I can afford. I recommend the face mask. It does cost 120, but if you attend a skin school class you get 20% off ($102).
YASSS!
Thank you so so much for watching hun xxxxx
Seems like a $ grabbing skincare line to me. I agree with all your points. Blows my mind the prices as well as the lack of ingredients, the small size, simple ingredients used etc. Then to top it off telling people to add sunscreen into moisturizer...how is that a doctors recommendation?!
Haha I totally agree with you hun its the worst advice I have heard for people to add their spf to their moisturiser.. I wouldn't buy any product for these prices... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
The products might be..decent, but the prices are laughable. I wouldn't buy her products even if I could. Those prices says a lot about what kind of person she is.
Oh and I hate when brands doesn't write the ingredient lists on their websites!
Same here hun, i want to know what i am buying when i order and your so right the price point is totally rediculous... Sending lots of love xxxx
I would finish that Spf in 3 days or so 👀🙈
Haha i know i would go through it in no time so its a firm no for me xxxx
Hi, Rob
I love your videos but I do find the volume tends to be low
Thank you so much for the feedback hun and i will look into that for sure. Sending lots of love xxxx
I actually bought a small speaker for my Chromebook because a lot of YT videos are on the quiet side. My husband actually surprised me with it and he only paid $14 US dollars!
Hi. thanks for the video. Can you recommend me a best expensive body cream for men. thanks for your help! I have to take care my body skin better for the miami sun
Paulas choice is the most expensive brand I'll purchase and only a couple of their products.
Paula's Choice is my preferred brand, and I usually wait for sales (which are frequent).
@@susanmcf1 I'm slowly switching to that brand as I run out of other products. What's your favorite?
@@threatlevelmidnight3588 Right now my current favorites are the Skin Recovery spf 30, Resist Intensive Repair cream and the oil cleanser. I use tretinoin nightly so moisturizer is necessary for my combo skin in cold, dry weather.
Never planned on trying the line...still not interested. Thanks for the info I suspected her products were overpriced.
I hope this brand watches this video! According to regulations the full ingredient list must be made available “at point of sale” therefore they must be declared on the website. Anyone can report this brands to Trading Standards UK 😉.
Hey hun thank you so much for watching and i am baffled as to why they don't include the full ingredients list.. I wonder if their being based in Europe means they don't have to comply with the same.. I will look into it.. Sending lots of love xxxx
NO KIDDING! I was amazed to see that. I'm surprised she hasn't been sued. The FDA in the US is supposed to govern these issues.... I would advise not to hold your breath for them to do the right thing!
@@MadAboutSkin I couldn't find any german or EU regulation that dictate including the INCI list for online sales (obviously on the product though). However, there has been a court ruling that *indicates* the need to do so on the basis of unfair competition.
@@bennyinberlin This rule applies to the UK, I’m not sure about Europe. It states it loud and clear in the Cosmetic Regulations. Anyone starting a biz selling cosmetics in the UK has to follow this rule. I wanted to run a handmade soap biz but couldn’t in the end due to health reasons, so I have looked into this in the past. I really wonder why this brand ignores this rule and gets away with it. 🤷♀️ Thanks so much for your input 🙌🏻
@@RebekkaHay I do wonder if the UK rules apply to imported products. Maybe that's why they can get away with it. Just seems like common sense to disclose the full list on the website
I thought sunscreens were considered drugs there for they have to disclose the ingredients before you buy. How can they get away with that?
Hi hun, it depends on the country you are based in and by law it has to be on the bottle but maybe not the website.. Either way they should include it as a matter of principle on their website xxxx
I just want your products now Rob that's all I want
Awww thank you so so much hun, i wish i could bring them to you now as I am so impatient to see the come to the market but we are nearly there... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Same
I wish there was a law against people doing this. I’m glad we your channel and others on you tube to educate people to not fall for this. It’s a shame celebs have too much money they have to spend it on a name 😂
I totally agree hun this sort of price inflation is like robbing consumers as they are not offering anything meaningful in return.. Sending lots of love xxxx
I don't understand where these products get off charging so much money. What is so surprising to me is that so many people choose to spend all that money on them, making them an in-demand product.
I totally agree with you Diana, I think this is so offensive to use as consumers that they think its ok for them to charge this much for products which offer so little benefit.. I hope all is good with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Make sense as a consumer I wouldn't like to spend so much for the same product I would get at a cheaper price
I totally agree with you hun, there is no need to spend this much when there are so many other cheaper options out there.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
Whats a dupe for the face cream? Or really a great facial cream. I'm not a fan of "The Cream" Dr. Badger eaither!!
Just to clarify, Hyaluronic acid is NOT an inexpensive skincare ingredient, in fact it is one of the more expensive raw materials to buy.
I've heard of this brand but I never paid much attention to it. The products and prices seem silly.
I totally agree with you. the price point is so out of order with the quality of the products... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Haha I wish I had the money to be able to purchase such expensive things 😂
Haha even if i had the money i dont think i would lol i will leave that to Kim Kardashian lol... sending you lots of love xxxx
As a rule, don’t do anything celebrities do, they’re the most ignorant people on earth, they stopped living in the real world a long time ago, for some reason they’re idolize nowadays but remember, they’re mere entertainers; most of them insufferable.
Thank you so so much for watching and sharing and sending you lots of love xxxx
I bought her advent calendar after stacking discounts and paid about $350. This was a way to try her products. However, I am 55 years old, have had plastic surgery and many med spa treatments. I also live in a dry climate. These products are too expensive for one, and I cannot see anyone under the age of 45 benefiting from these products. I image you would break out. The advent calendars are a way to try many skin care lines without paying the hefty price. I should mention I never used luxury skin products when I was younger. Ladies, there is just no need.
A consumer would be better off getting prescription meds or professional treatments with those prices.
I would only use her products when I receive them as freebies, no way I'm gonna pay for any of those
I totally agree with you hun the price is rediculous... sending you lots of love xxxxx
How can they charge that amount for there products.Way over the top and you don't know all the ingredients. Crazy
I totally agree James, the shocking thing is that they dont even let you know whats in them before you buy which is just the worst thing a brand could do... sending you lots of love xxxxx
SPF-drops ? To mix with your moisturizer 🧴? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can not stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the optical pigment is made of 24 carat gold ?
Haha for the price point i really hope it is lol.. Sending lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin hahaha.
Are u not life streaming , cause can't find anything ?
Never mind, it s Friday. My husband has the day off and I thought it was Saturday already.
I don't think the products aren't effective but honestly as someone who has used Korean hyaluronic acid sheet masks, gel creams, serums, and toners, I know products like these really shouldn't cost more than 50 USD - ish MAX. Dr Strum gives good advice on RUclips and I am sure her products work but I definitely do think it is overpriced. If you have the money go off but generally like it is better to save the money to see a derm in my opinion.
I totally agree with you hun, i am sure all of these products work but the price point is too much.. For $300 a visit to a derm would be a, much better investment.. Sending lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin take care stay safe 💖
Omg this is far worse than I thought it would be.. How do they get away with not even listing the ingredients.. Wont go anywhere near them xx
I don't know hun but its bad xxxx
Price gouging over purslane in a product!? What!? It's an invasive weed that happens to have benefits to our skin. What a ridiculous brand.
Haha I know I couldn't believe it when I read that was the only other ingredient in the products. this is the worst case of price gouging I have seen recently.. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I watch the Jen Luvs weekly beauty news ... an American celebrity with the initials OW has recently endorsed Dr BS, and has even become a financial backer of the brand.
Sigh ... OW can afford the products, most of us mere mortals can't.
your definitely paying for the name with this brand
I totally agree hun you are paying for a name and a celeb endorsement which is a shame xxxx
Ive had great results with her skincare. The price point is high because it’s luxury skincare.
Thank you so so much for sharing and I am glad it worked for you hun... sending you lots of love xxxx
I won’t be buying that brand, especially after you making me laugh out loud at the garden cress comment 😂
Haha I never liked cress really so it was never going to win me over in this product lol.. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxx
Interesting. I’ve never heard of this Dr. or of the brand but for all of the reasons pointed out, this sounds so shady. Seems like MLM type products.
I agree with you hun, its taking people for their money charging so much for so little... thank you so much for watching and sending you lots of love xxxxx
what skinceuticals rob .. what do you think of this brand x
Hi hun thank you so much for joining the live today, it was so good to chat to you..i think they have some good products but again the price point is too much and there are affordable dupes out there. that being said they are no way as bad as Dr Barbara Sturm in terms of that as at least the formulations are worth the price point... sending you lots of love xxxx
I bought them at 60% off from her site so that's how much they are marked up I wouldn't buy her products unless they are on sale!!!
When I first heard about the brand, I actually thought it was a dermatologist own brand. Turns out she’s actually a chiropractor. Which can be a bit misleading. Aside from that, the prices is a tad bit much for what you are actually getting. I think you are really just paying for an exclusive brand that celebrities are using, rather than a brand with breakthrough scientific ingredients.
I totally agree with you hun and I think we need more transparency here as this brand is set up to confuse people into believing you are getting a dermatologist brand which you are just not.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin oh lots of love to you too. Thanks to you, I’m filling up my cart on Face Theory. Living for that coupon code 🤗
So glad I watched this video because I was going to buy the hyaluronic serum and now I won't. 😊😊
Speaking of expensive SPF...hourglass 🙀🙀🙀🙀
OMG I know its a shocker lol... thank you so so much for watching... sending you lots of love xxxx
