besides trying to sell you products afterwards...
thanks for your help!|||A Clarin's skin care expert, is not necessarily a dermatologist so she/he can't treat your skin or tell you about any problems.
They mostly recommend products that might be good, or teach you how to do a nice make up.
The difference is, with a dermatologist, you can ask specific questions about your skin condition. If you're having acne, eczema, rosecea or other problems, the dermatologist can prescribe medication, unlike Clarins.
The advantage with Clarins, is that you can often get a FREE consultation, and the waiting period is not long
Although with a real skin doctor, it may be costly if you're covered with insurance.|||I think a Clarins expert will try to sell your the products while helping you - with daily advice.
A derm. will likely try to treat you as much as she/he can too - writing harsher 'scripts and using products too.
I think if the clarins person has done this awhile she has a gift to knowing skin and products.
A Derm is there if you need him. (severe issues) brands can't help you with).
All you have to say is no thanks. Unless you truly benefit from the facial - and loved a product. It's worth it.|||Not sure what "Clarins" is, but I'm assuming it's a direct sales' company? Obviously, the rep wouldn't have a doctor's degree, however, she/he may have some great testimonies from customers who may have had success with the same type of skin problem you have. The down-side, she'd like to make a sale, and hopefully she would be honest enough to tell you it may or may not work for your skin condition. The products she sells you may or may not cause more skin irritation than you already have. Maybe she has a sample you could try for a couple of days, just to see if you have good results? This is a great benefit of a consultant, is that the products are typically "try before you buy".
From a consultants' point of view: I have many customer testimonies about our products (particularly our Satin Shea Body Butter %26amp; our Lotion Bars) helping with Scorriacis(sp?) and Eczema. I'm not a DR, and can't guarantee the same results for you, but I could tell you what my customers' recommended, and you'd also have a chance to "try before you buy".
On the other hand, a Dermatologist would be the expert on how to treat a skin-care problem, or get down to the bare bones of WHY you have this problem. Would likely treat it with a prescription medication, which may or may not work for you, may cause other skin irritations, or can be VERY costly. Your prescription may or may not be covered by your insurance, and may not "feel" good on your skin (slimy, or oily feel).
These would be the major differences I'd see in using a Skin Care Consultant vs. a Dermatologist. Either direction has it's pluses and minuses.
