Do you buy a product because of its quality or its brand??!!

I noticed that a lot of people in Oman and else where buy the
BRAND & NOT THE QUALITY. Having said that no harm done when the merchandise purchased is of type clothing but it’s a raugh turn when it’s anything to do with skincare, makeup or hair products.

A lot of ladies out there over look the importance of a good skincare program. In my job I see people with oily skin using products for dry skin there by injecting more oil into there skin making it oilier. And many similar situations, you must under go a skin analysis test, that could take place in your own place and performed by you to determine which skin type you fall in and what is best for you.

I remember in the summer on 2000 when my mom bought me my first set of clinic skincare program I used there facial bar, moisturizer but was never able to put the cleanser near my face. The thing must have about 80% alcohol in it that would easily kill all the cells on your face. [The bottle still stands tall on my dresser, three years coming]

*It was clinic a BRAND, but that doesn’t necessarily justify it’s excellent quality.

Many people use nitrogena, simply because a lot of people think it’s good, this product works perfectly for some skins, but damages a lot other. My sister used nitrogena for a long time; till she came to learn that it was the one causing all the skin problems.
** The product is full of harmful chemical and all users should be very careful.


* I want to know, what is your skincare program if you have any and how much do you pay for it. And is it the BRAND or the RESULT you are after??!!

Usually I buy a product because of its quality and because it works well on me. If it is for its brand, it is because that specific brand is of good quality too.

I do not believe that the more a product is expensive, the better its quality is. It is amazing how some low cost products can be so effective!

Brand is the guide to an item's quality, if you know a brand, this is because of its popularity which came about after its proof of quality, HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE QUALITY OF A CERTAIN PRODUCT? By knowing what the brand is.

I agree with you Xpress BRAND doesn't mean quality.......cheap stuff can do the job.

I unfortunately disagree with you blue-Chi, there are so many brands out there that label more than one thing, they might be excellent in make-up and cosmetics but hopeless when it comes to skin care.

A brand never means quality, when you experience the quality you become loyal to the brand but it should never be Vise versa.

**You just might be lucky to go for the brand and get the quality but it's not a rule of thumb.

The brand's famous because it provides good quality.

I agree with Chi and shinoda. Famouse brands are knowing because of their good quality!
but personally i dont really look neither for quality nor for brand i usually pick what attracts me and fits my personality!

I once bought a not known brand shirt for 500 bizaz! I LOVE it and its with me for almost 4years!

hello all:

I really do enjoy reading your posts............and I totally agree with the few of you who said that a brand is well known because of it's quality, what the qestion is "THE QUALITY OF WHAT??!!"

Is it the clothing line, cosmetics, skin care, hair care...........etc.
Nowdays you find a lot of brands out there that try to do it ALL, and I tell you what "they are not Succeeding ".

They might be excellent at one line what terrible at another.........and to underline your words Najah.."Brand never means quality".


I once bought a not known brand shirt for 500 bizaz! I LOVE it and its with me for almost 4years! . You didn't buy a brand but you loved the quality.......and the other way round works even better.......

USUALLY brand = quality.


How do you think these companies sell their products well? The name is the quality.

You would usually know whether something was good or not by it's brand name. I'd usually go for brand names that I've gotten used to and like.
