Love how they can barely describe what this is actually doing for the skin and can't point to any significant studies outside of their own "research" for what the ingredients are doing. Why is platinum the best peptide-producing ingredient versus other ones already on the market? Has your skincare regimen noticeably improved after using the products they gave you for an extended amount of time? What is the price breakdown of the ingredients per listed weight? There's so much more that needs to be here before you start trying to tell people they need a $2000 facial

"You're technically getting a good deal" You know what's an even better deal? Not spending so much as cent on useless, expensive-for-the-sake-of-being-expensive pseudoscience.

[@jennosyde709]

Plus, they always overprice the products in the first place so that they can advertise services like these to seem like a "good deal". In reality, the production of those products is generally significantly cheaper than what they are being sold for, but people buy it because of the brand name and fancy packaging. They typically advertise ingredients that are expensive but have no real scientific evidence to prove their effectiveness, and cheaper products can often be sold for a much lower price. At the end of the day, people are buying the brand and perception of luxury, not a truly unique effective service

[@reneeburtness1526]

The price was probably accurate for perches but much higher then the cost of production so the brand is able to offer it much Cheaper to the spa, bc once people get the spa treatments and get the free full size products there more likely to buy it at full price
