I sent a request to VMV Hypoallegenics and received the most extensive reply from a sample request that I have ever gotten. They really seem to want to provide a sample package geared to your own personal requests. Did any of you that sent a request get a response like this? (if you have received samples from them, how are they) If you are interested in sending a request here is their website address
http://www.vmvhypoallergenics.com/ here is their reply: Thank you for contacting VMV HYPOALLERGENICS® and for giving us the chance to help! While many of our products come in standard sample sizes year round and can be purchased for 75 cents. Some, like most of our make-up products, need to be customized for you. Skintangible samples are on their way but in the meantime... If you happen to live in or near New York City, or be traveling to Manhattan soon, our boutique at 62 Crosby (between Spring and Broome in Soho) carries our complete product line and has samples and testers galore, too (plus our beauty-editor-fave, clinically-sound spa services!). Should you need to, we can be reached at 212-217-2762 or (212) 226 7309. We'd also be happy to send you a sample for you to try. As these samples would be lab batches customized for you, they would take about 7-10 to prepare and another 5-7 days to get to you. If this is acceptable to you, we would need to know: 1) Your complete shipping address where someone can receive a package during normal working hours and a phone number where you can be reached (FedEx, USPS and other couriers require this in case of delivery problems); 2) What you are interested in. You mentioned Skintangible "Faint"ation BBBB cream but are you also interested in other products such as skin care for pigmentations, acne, redness/inflammation, or aging? Sun and Light screens? Hair-Body-Bath Care? Or makeup like blushes, foundations, lipsticks, etc.? If the latter, could you give us a range of colors that you tend to prefer (for foundations and powders, you can tell us a little about your skin tone or give us a shade from another brand that suits you; for color products you can specify general hue families like reds, pinks, earth tones, neutrals, etc.). This way we can maximize your samples package. 3) Particular diagnoses we need to keep in mind, e.g. hormonal conditions, psoriasis or a specific dermatitis, rosacea or other conditions for which you may be taking steroids, etc. 4) A bit about your skin history, concerns and goals. 5) Any medications that you are currently taking (including birth control pills, nutritional supplements, vitamins, etc.). 6) If you've had a patch test, please include your list of allergens. Sharing the results with us can help us filter out possible cross reactants that may not be immediately obvious (or that allergen databases like CARD/CAMP may not yet have updated). You can attach your results to this support ticket as a document, type it into this correspondence directly, or fax it to us in the USA at +1-646-395-1568. 7) For very sensitive skin, we normally suggest that you first complete a 7-Day "Skin Fast" before and while trying the samples that we send you. If you are interested in this, please let us know and we'll include samples that you'll need for this, too. More information on the 7-Day Skin Fast can be found here: We look forward to hearing from you soon. Skincerely, VMV Client and Physician Support
