"Felt pressured to buy overpriced skincare"

After visiting skn for an acne scarring consultation, as the consultant was discussing options with me, a lot of products were recommended to be bought without proper explanation of why I should buy them. The total, after me enquiring whilst she was discussing these products were estimated at nearly £200. As I could not justify spending this much money on skin care she begrudgingly offered me the three items she deemed necessary. As I wasn’t given any explanation into why I would need these expensive items I felt pressured, almost if I was being put up against a sales pitch. My honest impression is that they prey on people that are in desperate to clear their skin up and push marketing tactics to try and make the biggest profit. I felt like they had no interest in my skin and saw me more as a source of income. Really would not recommend.
