Win a Nobel prize then charge big bucks for a skin care line
Posted by OldPerry on December 5, 2017 at 10:43 pmI guess these smart guys have to make money some how.
$524 for 50 mL of a skin cream? ugh

I’m just about to release my own new line, actually. It’s a bit pricier, at 2 Bitcoins per 10mL. I spit on his “nanocubes”. OURS has FEMTOPOLYHEDRONS!
You know, I would love to make a fake product announcement like that. -
It’s OK to charge for the R&D, the knowledge and the effort, just don’t add an extra 0 to it!.
A common mistake to think the customer has to pay every cost involved and more. This isn’t medicine.

This just motivates me more to create something similar to La Mer

I actually don’t find the pricing to be the main problem. If they can get people to pay >$500 for skin care, more power to them.
What I find most troubling is that we have Nobel Prize winning chemists propagating junk science. I’m sure these are fine skin lotions but it’s highly unlikely they do anything more than your standard Olay skin moisturizer.
Somehow I don’t mind it so much coming from marketers, but our brightest scientists? sigh.

while it’s not ideal, it is at least better than having them fabricate scientific findings in order to justify political policies, which I suspect will become a common occurrence before any of us are much older
