I was passing by the Kristals store in Burlington Mall today when a salesperson offered me a free sample and asked if I wanted a gift. I am pretty assertive with salespeople, and I was curious as to what this store had to offer, so I wasn't afraid that I'd give in to any high pressure sales tactics. I obliged the sales girl and went in. She proceeded to ask me a few questions about what I use on my skin, demonstrated some kind of peeling serum on the back of my hand, which did remove a layer of dry skin but also left my hand feeling a bit of a burn. She added a 'moisturizer' after the 'peel' on the back of my hand. This stuff made the back of my hand still feel dry with a bit of a discomforting burn, even at midnight. I've moisturized twice now with Cetaphil with Aloe and it's not helping. This is horrible stuff. Immediately after leaving the store, my skin was dry. It was a bit softer from whatever she used to slough off the dry skin, but it wasn't moisturized or soft and supple like a good skin care product would be. The sales girl then tries to offer me another 'gift' before telling me that the 'peel' and the 'moisturizer' are $200 each. When I insisted that I was going to go home and do my research first, she tried a few other sales tactics, like offering lower prices. When I restated that I was going to do my research first because I took my skin care seriously, and that I again, wasn't buying anything today, she says', "Well, I don't know about that... let's see'. Firstly, don't even bother going in here. Secondly, never let sales people talk you into buying anything. JUST SAY NO. It's ok. The prices here are ridiculous, especially for products that make your skin hurt hours after it was applied.
