SkinMedica Globs
1 Star
SkinMedica Globs
Firstly, Amazon and its resellers are not authorized retailers of this product and thus the 30 day warranty offered by Skinmedica is not available if you have an issue with this product as I learned from calling Skinmedica customer service. My issue however is not with the actual product or its ingredients but with the pump valve and packaging of this product.What is happening, is when I pump the product, hard solid tubular pellets of the product are being ejected onto my finger and or sometimes sticky gelatin globs of the product are ejected and or a combination of both hard and rubbery gelatin globs are ejected. This is essentially product (serum) to which I can not apply to my face or use in any way.Apparently the product is drying up in the value and forming these unusable pellets and globs but according to Skinmedica this design fault is really my fault for not pumping the valve daily. In other words I am suppose to be using the product everyday and if I did so Skinmedica says it would not dry up. According to Skinmedica customer service the warranty on their products is only 30 days because if you pump out product everyday you would use a bottle in 30 days.When I explained the issue to SkinMedica they offered me no compensation because* my product was purchased from Amazon and has no warranty* my product was more than 30 days old* because it is my fault that the product dries up in the pump/valveSo if you are someone who has a daily routine which will see you using this bottle everyday by all means buy this product. As for myself I normally rotate products very much like one rotates shampoo's. I try to read my skin and see what it needs on a day to day basis. In other words if my skin is oily I might use different skin products on the day then if my skin is dry.In any case the most disappointing part of this experience is that Skinmedica takes no responsibility for this issue and doesn't care that I am loosing a huge quantity of product... probably up to 1/3 of the bottle, as it is drying up in the valve. Maybe Skinmedica should place a "warning label" on their products informing consumers that once they open the product and start pumping they must use the product within 30 days.Lastly, it is my personal belief that the food and cosmetic industries should get some ethics and be more transparent. Specifically of interest to me is that ALL products for human consumption and application have a clear date of manufacturing and a clear date of expiry and or best by date, in order for consumer's to determine if the products they are buying are stable and to be assured that they have not begun to chemically breakdown and deteriorate. Consumers should not have to call one company after the other and give codes to find out this type of information.
