    I’m still waiting for the certificates. I phoned the Healing and Control Cream Settlement and there’s nothing on the recording as to when these will be sent. Does anyone know the status and what to do to receive the certificates?

  2. April says:

    This might explain why my face broke out in blisters, turned bright red, dry and scaly within weeks of opening and using a new container of cream. I immediately stopped using it, but the damage has been done to my face and wallet. Lovely.

    1. Js says:

      You’re correct. They had steroids in the cream and it causes red skin syndrome

  3. Davina says:

    Thanks!

  4. Carol says:

    Rust Consulting…. I won’t even waste my time.

  5. stop whining says:

    Stop it delvia. You know very well you didnt buy any of these products. And you are complaining about getting free vouchers. Some people. Lol

  6. Delvia says:

    THIS IS THE WORSE MESS, YOU THINK IM GONING TO SPEND $$$$ ON SOME MORE, WHERE THEY DO THAT AT??? I WANT MY $$$$ BACK!!!

  7. Patricia says:

    Vouchers instead of cash means more money into the pockets of the lawyers and less money into the pocket of the people who bought the product.
    Rust Consulting do seems to do a lot of voucher settlements because they know that they will not have a lot of people sign up for the rebate.

  8. Stefani says:

    Rust Consulting once again, skip this settlement. It is a complete waste of time if they are handling it.

  9. No even says:

    I’m not even going to fill out the paperwork on any class action if Rust Consulting is handling it…:(

  10. Concerned Consumer says:

    Don’t expect many certificates to go out with Rust handling this one.
