The system, by Hedi Slimane, is called Dermo system, and "is the equivalent of his precision tailoring for Dior Homme captured in square-ish pots of smoky, light gray glass."

"It's a very targeted line," Slimane said. "It's very rational and systematic in the sense that it's a few targeted products that will complement each other." There's NO added scent to any of the products.

It will be unveiled in Paris on July 5 - the day after the spring 07 show. It will arrive in about 2,000 doors in France in early October. An international rollout (including the US) is slated to follow in LATE 2007.

The system consists of four products: a hydrating toner, serum, moisturizer and an eye cream dispensed directly on the skin via an applicator resembling a click pen. Retail prices are $51 for eye serum, $62 for 100 ml of toner or 50 ml of moisturizer, or $96 for 50 ml serum.

The packaging is meant to appeal to a design-sensitive crowd, reflecting Slimane's exacting sense of proportion. The dimensions of each pump-style bottle are carefully calculated for a balance between height and circumference. Linear ridges or pleats, a signature feature of Dior Homme leather goods, are echoed on the containers.

all this stuff is complete marketing bullshit - stick to Boots stuff.

If you're that bothered, go to a dermatologist, ask him what's best for you, (it'll be available in Boots) and have a holiday in paradise on what you save.

If you want nice bottles on your shelf, that's a different story.

that's what they want you to believe and why they bother.

It's all about keeping out of the sun and in the genes ultimately.

don't believe the hype.

The best skin care range across the board from my experience is Nickel.

There's not a chance i'd ever use this. If someone gave me it all for free, I'd probably rather use the stuff I have now.

I can't see how anyone with any sort of knowledge of skin care would actually buy this, especially considering those ridiculous prices.

I agree, but considering the promo material focuses on telling us how nice the bottle is you can understand people being weary. I'm sure its decent stuff, but not worth the prices, and i'd rather trust people like Nickel and Phytomer who's business is this rather than some designer.

all the scientific reports I've read have shown it's all b/s - slavering creme de la mare over your chops won't beat someone with great genes.

using Boots moisturiser will help smooth out your lines but getting an early night, eating a good diet and not smoking or boozing are generally considered far more beneficial....

The great marketing con is making you FEEL you NEED 'premium' brands.

It's fashion over function and most of us are suckers for it. The stuff costs pennies to make and around 80% of the budget is for packaging and marketing, just like washing powder.

Like the guy above says, 'Designer ranges' are all about fashion, but seriously, using something like Phytomer face wash make such a huge difference from using clearasil or soap.

And the difference in quality of moisturisers is vast. You can buy stuff like Clarins which is expensive at £22, but spend the same on a Nickel moisturiser and the difference is huge. Much less greasy, much better for your skin. the difference between boots and these level products is the same.

Of course it is proven, they can't patent something that doesn't do what it says it does.

sadly, that's not what the evidence suggests. no product will make you look better if you spend all day in the sun, smoke 40 a day, drink a bottle of rough scotch at lunch and eat lard.

it's about selling a dream.
