Hydroxatone Informative - A Better Way to Try the Products

Review by Venice09 on 2011-05-11
Out of curiosity, I checked to see if Hydroxatone products are now being sold on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Since many people have unsuccessfully tried the risk free 30-day trial offer from television, I thought HSN might be a safer way to order this brand for the first time. This is not a testimonial for HSN or Hydroxatone, but simply a suggestion. I have purchased things from HSN in the past, and compared to what I've read about Hydroxatone's customer service, HSN is definitely a better choice. At least you can order with the confidence of knowing there will be no unexpected charges or deductions from your bank account, and that you can return the products hassle free.

So, please, don't be fooled by Hydroxatone's seemingly deceptive television advertisements for free trial offers. If these products appeal to you, and you want to give them a try, I would advise using HSN as an alternative. You will have to pay for return shipping if you are not satisfied, but that is nothing compared to the amounts of money some people have lost dealing with Hydroxatone directly.

Good review, Venice, and a good alternative for ordering this product.

Good information V09

Very good advice Venice! I am surprised HSN would carry their products, since they have such a bad rep. You are right...it would be wise to order from HSN instead of directly from Hydroxotone.

The products might actually be good, Nicole. But people are so turned off by the order/return process that they never have a chance to find out. If I wanted to try Hydroxatone, I would definitely get it from HSN. At the very least, they won't keep draining your bank account!

Very true, Venice. I notice in a lot of reviews that customers say the product did not work. But they could just be livid after having their bank account emptied. I know I would be!

Another alternative is to order using your credit card if your card offers "single-use" numbers. Most credit cards offer this service for online shopping and I use it frequently. That is how I tried this product out. It burned my face btw :( but that isn't unusual, I have very sensitive skin.

Blue, I use Bank of America that generates peudo numbers that can be used one time. I use it all the time when shopping online.

I use it with BoA but mostly thru Discover. They have a browser plug-in that generates a popup window and PRESTO! new number.

Ulta also carries this product in stores.
Posted by Nicole29 on 2011-05-12:
I did not know that Ulta carries this. That was on my list of places to shop today.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-05-12:
I didn't know that, unslated. We have an Ulta store here but I've never gone in. I wonder what their return policy is. I'm also curious how the prices compare to HSN. Maybe I'll check it out.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-05-12:
I just looked at the reviews on HSN. The three top selling products in the line, averaging $70 each, only have two to three stars. I didn't actually read the reviews, but that's not very impressive.
Posted by Nicole29 on 2011-05-12:
Venice, you never checked out Ulta? It's a pretty good store, and I did return one item and had no issues there. I like it because they carry many of the high end brands, but they also have brands you can find at drug stores. Plus they have a ton of hair products and tools. I have tried the Ulta brand, and although their make up is not very good, their lotions and shower gels are.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-05-12:
I know. I can't believe I haven't gone yet. I was going to stop in around Christmas but just didn't get around to it. I really don't buy too much anymore, but I am curious as to what they have to offer. I'll make a point of going in the next time I'm in that area.

It's worth checking out. They usually have some sort of deal going on, like buy 2 lotions and get 1 free sort of thing. If you get on their mailing list, they will send coupons too. I have gotten quite a few free things from them like candles, beach towels and different sorts of totes and bags.

Great info, Venice!

Thanks, Venice.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-05-12:
I promise to go, Nicole. I at least want to get on the mailing list!

I returned all the products and asked my credit card company to investigate. I finally received a credit but with all the hocus pocus of this outfit, I am unable to determine if full credit was issued for all shipments. Also, be careful of a companion product - Radialabs???
Posted by PepperElf on 2011-05-20:
if it's "free" you wouldn't need a credit card.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-05-20:
Good advice about Radialabs, TWL. They certainly do seem to be related.

I don't mind using a credit card to cover shipping and handling of a free product, depending on the amount. I don't expect to get a free product shipped to me for free. A trustworthy company will not take advantage of your credit card info. Apparently Hydroxatone is not one of those companies.
