Over-priced products, whith cheap and harmful ingrédients. Don't get lured by the shop's decoration or intimidated by the harassing salesforce who will stick to you like a glue and won't leave you until you end up buying their products.

The girl who sold to me 3 products for more 200 Euros (which I neevr used and got rid of), tried all kinds of arguments, and even some suspicious offers, changing the price each time drastically.

Long story short, avoid it!

Conned...!
April 23, 2017

I am disgusted that i have been totally ripped off. Oh yeah lets just do the mineral peel gel on a place where theres zero hair of course its going to look like your product works when really its the contents of your product that forms into a consistency of that of a dead skin layer...
Now people lets try the same product again but somewhere that its hairy. Do you see my point? The gel gets stuck to the hairs making it impossible to be removed if i had dead skin then it should just rub away right? No...! Wrong very very wrong. I ccant believe i got sucked in or should i say bullied by the over pushy sales rep. Amazing how they can reduce the puffy eye cream from a whopping £250 down to £80 in 5 mins flat thank god i didnt buy that too. What a big smelly rat that shop is. From a very unhappy customer. Doesnt even deserve the one rating i gave it.!

Any good brand will never use the same aggressive and misleading sales tactic that SAKARE uses. They say that SAKARE sources the best ingredients all over the world and that it is a luxury beauty brand.

They will try products on your skin and make you think that you are buying exclusive SAKARE brand products.It is only when you go home that you will realise that they have sold you non-SAKARE brands. Their pricing is also not published in their store so it is difficult to see if you are paying correct prices for their products. Again, as soon as you get home - you will realise that they sold you different brands which you can get for a lot less than they tell you in the store. They sell you products from brands: Dead Sea Premier and Soap&Co which most everyone in eBay are unloading - brand new and unused for a fraction of what you UNKNOWINGLY pay for in the SAKARE stores.

Madly in love with Sakare! I wanted to change my beauty products couple of months ago due to lack of results. My friend Ana recommended Sakare and believe me that I'm very satisfied with the premium line of products from Sakare in the bath and body care segment.

I was on a business trip in Paris and left the Metro station at St. Paul. I love the shops there, not so many tourists, the people are much more relaxed. I saw the beautiful store from Sakare, which is next to Acqua di Parma and Bobbi Brown (Love them, too:-)
The very nice and goodlooking sales guy asked me, if he could show me some of the products, which I really wanted. I had Paris nails on that day, so being in the city and subway all the time, was not good for my nails so he suggested to test the nail set. This sponge had different sides and every single side had a purpose, he did the whole manicure with ONE device, including polishing and then applied a nail oil and treated my hands with the hand cream. Amazing smell! I L O V E it, my hands lookes wonderful - I bought the set and I'm very happy with it. It's the best on the market! I will definitely come back and try the other products. Thank you, Sakare!

Sucked in by the very nice salesmans BS. Told me the nail buffer was the "rolls royce" of buffers. Cheap and useless after 5 uses. Have boughtcheaper and much better quality elsewhere. Ingredients in cuticle lotion isn't almond oil as claimed by the assistant. When I took the time to read the label it is actually liquid pariffin.

AVOID AT ALL COST!

It was so great to finally find the moisturizer I love. Sakare shop on 93 Bond St. Was a real treat for someone like me who doesn't have the chance to travel often.
There is no perfect product, there is the perfect product for you. So it happens, that I have discovered my perfect moisturizer - the Sakare Hydrating Mineral Complex.
The 40 minutes I spent at the Sakare shop, were quite delightful. Excellent service and professional attitude.

I always enjoy visiting Sakare 93 New Bond Street store because of the values they have and the friendly/professional Staff. I've always loved their skin care serum and shopping at this store for the past few months, since I moved here and have had a good experience.

My friend (visiting me from overseas) and I were walking on the street when this salesman from Sakare invited us into the store. We walked in. My friend tried some of their products (hand cream, scrub...), and the products looked ok, but were way overpiced (£35 for a tiny 125ml handcream? Who do they think they are? Dior or something?). The salesman was so pushy (pushy is actually an understatement), he was trying to force her to buy stuff. When my friend said "I'll think of it", the salesman became rude. He told her "sorry is it too expensive for you? I know not everyone can afford that price". I just looked at my friend and we decided to leave. We did not walk into a store to get insulted. Not worth our breath to discuss with that type of people.

Scam! Don't buy!
December 30, 2018

No ingredients listed on packaging. The price was reduced to 1/2 because I wasn't going to purchase at the asking price (odd). I was in the Paris store which is in a legitimate area. The sales woman did the mineral peeling gel on my hand & told me all the material being produced as she was rubbing was dead skin. I felt pressure and purchased as she was dropping the price. Went home only to read the reviews. Did a test with wearing a rubber glove and applying a drop of the gel on plastic. After rubbing it a material built up (definitely not dead skin!) I did another test on my skin and collected the material. I let it dry and it hardened and stretched like a sticky rubber plastic. I emailed the company and after a month have not received any response. The company doesn't offer this product online... The name on the bottle is Soap & Co but comes with a Sakare serum. Again, no listed ingredients or any information on the bottle. Government needs to seize this product. Who knows what is in this bottle they're saying to put on your face. I will be notifying health and government agencies. Also will Be contacting my credit card company and disputing this charge as it is a fraudulent product. I encourage everyone to do the same. It's tge quickest way to get them to stop selling this junk!

Look on trust pilot for the real reviews- this is a scam. Bad products with no natural ingredients, aggressively flogged at absurdly inflated prices. Avoid this dishonest and nasty operation.

Scam
March 28, 2016

Hard sell, rude salesman, insulting my skin when nothing wrong with it. The products are soap and co. Google them, Israeli scam. Expensive prices for cheap products made in China. Don't be gullible!

Hi there, the Sakare shop has just opened in Paris. So worth to give it a try. Sales team was incredibly nice and well... pushing. Very creative in making our experience unforgettable. Ok the price too is unforgettable. But above all, back home I read carefully all the compenents. OMG. Only chemicals. No plant at all. Only paraffinum, parabens and all others wird C-something. There is so much of bad stuff in it that I don't ever dare to put it on my skin. Xxxx B. From Paris

I'm kind of a cosmetic junkie! Using their Indulging Hand & Body Lotion since 2 months and it's also suitable for my skin. Also, their other beauty products are all top notch and carefully chosen.
