Hi - I'd like to try these two ranges; does anyone know where I can buy samples or travel sizes from? (I am in the UK)
Strawberry.net is selling travel sizes of the mask for £43 - are they reliable? Has anyone purchased from them?
Thanks
Karen |

I've bought something once from strawberrynet and it appeared to be completely genuine. However, I had a large customs charge to pay with it. Also, as far as I'm aware, they are not official stockists so the products might not be as fresh as they could be.
If you are about to order any items from EDS, you can ask them if they are able to include any Valmont samples, which they do for free. Mind you, this obviously depends on which samples (if any) they have in stock at the time.
Some people have been successful in buying samples on ebay. Again, though, you must be careful as they may not be particularly fresh.
You could always try contacting the European Valmont online store to ask them if they could send you some samples: http://www.boutiquevalmont.com/uk/ |

Thanks for that link, I'll give that a try too.
I asked Strawberry.net about customs - they say they will refund any customs, so long as I can provide them with proof that I paid it... |

Strawberrynet will reimburse your customs charge! Read about it here:

As far as the freshness goes, I bought a few items from them and they are genuine. But I would not recommend buying Valmont products from them because they have to be fresh.

| Remergent were purchased by Estee Lauder a few years ago and the technologies incorporated into several of their products incl Advanced Night Repair. The brand itself was discontinued so if you do find any products they will be old stock. |

They wouldn't do it for me, unfortunately, and I've heard of others who've experienced the same thing. Apparently, they only consider it and there's no guarantee. Just something to be aware of and prepared for.
However, yes, I have also heard of others who were more successful in getting the charge refunded. |

| Speaking of Estee Lauder which products actually got the Remergent formula (assuming that Dr. Yarosh brought it with him)??? I tried Advanced Night Repair and it did nothing for me, whereas Remergent DNA Repair was my HG and my daughter's too, people used to comment on our skin. No more. I can't find anything even close. Anybody know anything? |

Thanks for the feedback.
Josh, thanks for that, I was wondering why Googling Remergent wasn't turning anything up!
majorb - thanks for that link!!!! Not only did I find travel kits there, but they are closer (so no duty and free postage) - plus, the kit includes the travel size mask along with 5 other products for £60! So, a LOT cheaper than Strawberry.net.  |

I'm glad to have been of help, Karen. It's always best to check prices as Strawberrynet isn't always cheaper, especially for those of us in the UK. I'll have to have a look at that kit, myself!
Such a shame about the Remergent DNA Repair. It was one of my most favourite products ever. Damn Estee Lauder! |

are the products from Strawberry.net reliable? will they be expired since the price of the products are cheaper than the market?
I rarely order skincare online, I have seen soo many review on EPS before deciding to order from them. I rather pay a bit higher price for a better quality (or w/i the expiry date) products. |

| Queenie, before I saw the link majorb posted, I emailed strawberry.net and asked what the expiry date on the valmont mask was. They said March 2012, so that particular item is ok. |

| For all of you out there who loved Remergent, check out NEOVA! They brought over several top execs. from Remergent and have combined the DNA Repair with their Copper Peptide based product line. They are FABULOUS products!!!! Hope this helps! |
