Are skincare brands that are promoted in fashion magazines a scam?

[Grand Maven]

I don't trust skincare products for the home as much as I do for skincare products for the clinic.

Swings and roundabouts.

At least most adverts are clearly adverts, apart from when they're in editorial (usually matched by advertising budget) or advertorial (promotion disguised as editorial - but labeled 'promotion')

You have to remember 'recommendations' by demonologists and cosmetologists are nearly always paid partners with skincare and pharmaceutical companies.

Buyer beware.

I was shocked after watching reviews of some of the products. The editors in fashion magazines were most likely paid to promote it. I wouldn't use such toys as-home.

You should see the prices. It's so expensive, which attracted me to it in the first place, but then I did my own research.

That's the concept.
If you pay big buck, it will make it easier to "see" results instead of admitting to your self that you have been fooled^^
