YOUR LETTERS
Thanks for all your letters.
Clearly ‘miracle’ creams do
still draw people into store –
and some are proving that
they’re worth it. Here are our
favourite letters…
WIN!WIN!WIN!
As always, the most
opinionated letters will be
published. This month, the
best three will win electrical
face mask, MaxiMasque.
Designed for various skincare
treatments from anti-ageing,
deep cleansing and
moisturising to removing
make-up,
after sun
care and
facials, this
gadget is
worth a
whopping
£49.50!
Be it a moisturiser, a mascara or a self
tan, I firmly believe that miracle claims
still entice customers into stores. The
launch of Garnier’s latest Caffeine Eye
Roll-on had customers phoning our
store desperate to reserve stock – and
who could forget No7 Protect &
Perfect, which had customers
queuing around the block! However,
in such a competitive market I think
companies have to live up to their
claims – underperforming is not an
option. When it comes to selling such
products the trick, I have found, is
educating customers to understand
that they won’t see results overnight.

I think women will always buy into a
product that claims to magic away
wrinkles and lines. They’ll give it a try,
just in case it works – but they may
only buy it once. Some products are
overpriced, but it’s up to customers
to decide if they underperform.
Companies will soon know if their
products aren’t up to scratch because
they won’t be getting repeat orders
from retailers.
Pat Roberts
Nicholson’s Pharmacy, Widnes
Customers always tend to try ‘miracle
cure’ products. They seem to work
really well as long as you keep using
them. However, the minute you stop,
you go back to the same lacklustre
hair or skin you originally had! So at
the end of the day, I would say yes,
they are over-hyped and overpriced.
Uzma Chaudhry
Independent pharmacy, Oxford
Any product that is clinically proven,
researched and trialled offers hope to
customers and entices them into store.
Some products receive too much hype
Do keep your emails coming in. This month we want to know:
– but every now and then, miracles do
happen without taking advantage of
customers’ faith or their pockets.
When Horizon said that No7 Protect &
Perfect was clinically proven to reduce
the signs of ageing, no one could
have imagined the thousands of
phone calls we got, the queues
outside stores or the frantic
manufacturing to ensure waiting
customers were happy. Sales remain
phenomenal. Other products like Lift
& Luminate and Garnier’s Eye Roll-on
are also in hot demand.

What woman would not part with a
few pounds for a miracle anti-ageing
product?! It is still a lot more
affordable than a face lift, and if it
makes you feel pampered, why not?
Sian Jackson,
Boots, Seaton Sluice
Do men really spend as much as women on their grooming regimes?
(See p5.) Or do guys in your store still just grab the basics and go?!
