Does anyone know where I could find Darphin Paris skincare cheapest on the internet?

So far http://www.babysofttender.com is the cheapest I could find.

All help welcomed.

Thanks

Careful when buying from the `net! Shock

Darphin is now part of the Estee Lauder family of companieswww.elcompanies.com A spa has to be authorized to sell Darphin, and typically this must be the exclusive skincare line available in that spa. Lauder is strict about it's sales & distribution. Though I don't know of any cheap Darphin retailers, I will warn you of this: make sure that this is an authorized retailer of the product. If it's not, the product is not from Darphin itself, and has been diverted. Grey-market/middle-men have been involved, and Darphin nor Estee Lauder can guarantee you of it's freshness, authenticity, etc. Afterall, you could be buying ... yogurt, packaged in a Darphin bottle, right? Buyer beware! You have been warned! Not talking

In Asia, there is a "free market". This means that a middle-man has ordered or bought product from an authentic distributor, had the product sent to them or brought it back to Asia, and then has re-sold the product on-line or in their shops. This is bad for the industry and the customers. Lauder is more than aware of this grey-market industry, and they have taken measures to help hinder it. Example: M.A.C once wasn't as widely-available as it now is. Some people still come to the North American counters, especially Canadian (where it's least expensive), and have LENGTHY lists of products that they want to buy. Ridiculous amounts, such as: 80 "Verushka" lipstick, 200 "Spice" lip pencils, 70 "NW20" StudioFix Powder Foundation, etc. M.A.C & other Lauder company employees are NOT obligated to sell these quantities, and either have to contact their district manager, or simply say, "Sorry. No can-do." They're not stupid, and I certainly wouldn't want my product(s) nor my reputation being misrepresented. Silenced

i checked this babysofttender site you mentioned..I wouldn't buy from them because

1. they carry only a small selection from the line
2. they don't give any information about themselves besides an email.

Seems sketchy to me

I bought from Strawberrynet, so far they are ok, I always check the expiration date, they are good. So can't complain so far...

I also buy from Strawberrynet and so far so good. I like the fact that there are expiry dates on Darphin products. You can be more assured of the product's quality. I have combination skn and I love using the purifying foam gel, purifying milk cleanser, and purifying balm.

Skinprofusion, if you're interested in the Darphin "Haute Couture" sensitive product line you may like to try:

cleanser: Intral Cleansing Milk
Toner: Intral Toner
Day Protection: Intral Cream
Masque: Intral Masque or Fibrogene Masque (if you find your skin is sens. from dry weather/dehydration=itching skin... then try Fibrogene)
Serum: Intral Complex (this product is WONDERFUL and smells like sweet bee's wax)

The whole sens. line of Darphin has Hawthorn in it which is a vaso-dilator.

Hope I helped!

I agree with all you ladies who have bought from StrawberryNET... I've bought MANY times from them and have rarely been dissapointed. A great way to get expensive produts at reasonnable prices (especially now that the CAD $ is doing so well!).

I have bought from StrawberryNet many times as well and I think they're ok. But does anyone know how they source their products?

This is the cheapest place I could find. I ordered once from them and planning on ordering my favtorite Vital Protection again soon. The shipping is not cheap, but if you buying more than one products it's worth it.

alright ladies... maybe ai am a little slow... but about Caspers Mum's post, does it meant that the product sold by middle man is not authentic, or what?
