Want to purchase some Dr Haushka Products

Hi everyone

I want to purchase some Dr Haushka products for my Daughter at Christmas, and was wondering if anyone could point me to a web site where it is competitively priced.

Also, I personally have never used the product before, so anyones views on their experiences of it would be really appreciated, or maybe even if you think there is something better out there.

Thankyou :-)

  • I use Dr Hauschka cleansing creme, and I must admit that I usually buy it on EBay. There are some sellers on there from Germany, and I think it must be a lot cheaper to buy over there because they have some good prices. I have always had extremely quick and efficient service from the sellers as well. (I think I'd restrict my searches to within the European Union though - I've just had a look and there are a lot of Hong Kong and US items listed which I wouldn't personally risk buying).

    The products are really nice, but I found some of them I don't like with my skin type. Does your daughter already use these products? If not, the company make a couple of 'sample' sets which are good value and allow you to try a good range of the products. For example see link below:

    http://www.drhauschka.co.uk/products/face-care/kits

    BTW You can also find these kits on Ebay if you want the cheaper option!

    The company also sell individual sample sizes of most of their products, which is a really good way of finding which suits.

    Hope this helps

    Many thanks for your detailed reply .. I will go and have a look on Ebay. I think you are probably right in recommending the individual samples, and I will probably get that for her, plus a little something else :o

    I don't believe it's available on anywhere like feel unique or beauty expert, you're probably best to check amazon and look for cash back at places that do sell it. If the price looks very cheap on ebay, it's too good to be true so be careful.

    I'd also recommend getting samples. I was bought the Normalizing Day Oil and to be honest have found it's done nothing for me, so if you have the chance to try a smaller amount first that might be better.

    I used to love Dr haushka - and still use the clay mask

    The cleansing cream is nice - but there are so many other cheaper products out there now that work as well

    However it was using the Dr haushka products that moved me to using more natural products - which I still use today

    I have tried Dr Haushka, it didn't work for me :( I normally am affected by man made additives but with Dr Haushka its all natural so thought I'd be fine. But I wasn't.

    I had my skin feel prickly and turn blotchy and pink within seconds! I don't like rose oil generally as it makes my skin feel tacky/sticky which is in many of the products so doubt I'd have tried if I knew that anyway! But I did and had this reaction. The only other time I've had that same reaction was with Kiehl's Ultra moisturiser. Very odd as that was a range designed for sensitive skin!

    If you are in London, Space NK and Wholefoods in Kensington High Street (and maybe the same branded stores elsewhere) have this to test with wipes and etc if things go wrong, I'd say try before you buy because its an expensive mistake if it doesn't work out.
