Why is this product so expensive? Are there any mostly similar alternatives that are cheaper? (I couldn't find any)...

(1) They have no competition (2) The mantra set by their executives is "Low Volume High Margin" (3) They are patent protected, so don't worry about competition until their patents expire (4) Well built... though this accounts for no more than 1/5th of retail price.

These keyboard are expensive for 2 main reasons, 1) they are made with mechanical switches, which are individually constructed, meaning they are expensive, and 2) this keyboard is also hand assembled because of the difficult layout. Hope that helps......... PS.... also, there are no real substitutions for this configuration, at least none that aren't substantially more expensive.

too expensive will find an alternative. I was able to purchase this in the $85-$87 range

You might still find some on ebay - if you're willing to pay an arm and a leg.I almost did but changed my mind.I really miss this product.

Why does the price keep going up? I bought this only a few months ago. It cost only $41. Now it is $94. I am so, so sad because this worked AMAZINGLY well. I have tried both RapidLash and Latisse and had to stop due to horrible eye redness. While they worked too, I just could not live with the redness. This product did not do that to me and it applied so nicely. I looked actually forward to using it. I am just hoping it goes back to an affordable price. www. LovelySkin.com still sells it for a very good price.

You aren't the only one who wants to know why this is so much more expensive now. I broke my upper bowl and was going to get another. Can't find a replacement now for just the upper bowl and the complete siphon is a bit too pricey lately. Still waiting for the price to drop some. :(

I am not sure what makes it so expensive---I read a review on this cream in a magazine...the women who were using it did not know what it was.....it won hands down as the number #1 cream for reducing brown spots and over all dull skin. It comes out in two formulations one is blue and the other is green you mix them together and apply to face at night time. I found an absolute difference in the brown cast my face had and the over all brightness.....I will continue to buy this cream. It worked for me almost like a miracle cream.... I now use it 3x a week instead of 7 and get the same results...I hope this helps I am a skin care junkie and have tried literally dozens of creams ---this one did work on me. I don't mind paying $$$ if it works and this does.....remember the study that was done the participants did not know if they were using the $25 cream or the $400 cream. this one won hands down. I hope this helps.

I have been using a container of oxygen bleach cleaner from another company for a few years now. That company no longer makes it, but it did not call for a neutralizer, just scrubbing and rinsing, and it has done a good job. I don't know if this stuff is the same, but it does seem pretty expensive. Sad to say, the large bottle of stuff I'm almost out of has no weight printed on it, but I think it was like four or five pounds for about 30 bucks. This seems high priced in comparison, but it was maybe 3 years ago I bought the other stuff. Most of the ones that I've used in the past (not on deck but on boat wood) that required a neutralizer were oxalic acid based.. Looking around Amazon, I see you can get 7.2 Pounds of Oxyclean for about the same price. Don't know if this is stronger or if it's the same..

I have found all of the products I've gotten from Amazon to be fantastic and not nearly as expensive as I was charged when I was introduced to the product. Hope I have been helpful, I love these products and Amazons' prices and quality.

Gray market perhaps, do a search for any seller to be on the safe side. I'm waiting for this product to be available for cheaper by a reliable/authorized dealer/seller.

Frustrating I know... Third party purchases is always frustrating. This is why I buy only from direct Amazon. Lessons learned!!! Google the product and you may find it cheaper elsewhere and a quicker ship date.

I bought this hoping it would be a good alternative to the more expensive brands. ...it wasn't. Mine broke after a month and never really worked that well. I just ordered a Clarisonic. Good luck.

I have noticed that when many online companies get very low on stock, a ridiculous price point kicks in until the new supply arrives, to avoid going out of stock completely. I've seen a package of ballpoint pens for $99 and so on, so that's probably what is happening here. Shop around. Let there be no doubt however that this product, at this strength, is not inexpensive. $130 would not be unreasonable.

I have a similar situation. Did you end up buying this product? If not, what do you use? I'm kind of at a loss as to what I should get :/

I noticed the same thing, Kurt. I'm planning on getting this after the new year, but if the price keeps going up on this site, I may try a less expensive alternative!

I have tried the original product that costs ALOT more, and used it diligently but beyond the first few days, Ive seen no difference. Sadly, thats an awful amount of money with no results. If this product works, great!but I really wished I had tried the cheaper product first. Also, I read online that this must be used with a moisturizer, there is some flaking of the Argireline if I don't use it. a alpha hydroxine one worked best for me.
