Over the past few years, I have been extremely satisfied with my HSN purchases. Most purchases have been exactly as expected. For the few that I didn't like or that I changed my mind about, I was able to use HSN's 30-day return policy with no questions asked.

My only complaint about HSN is that they tend to keep their inventories fairly low. So sometimes you have to wait until they restock an item before you can obtain it.

The HSN Web site is both organized and appealing. They even have advanced features like a videos and bulletin boards. One of their best features is that you can read the opinions of others on any specific product and you can post your own comments for others to read.

After having presented many items on HSN, I have met all of the show hosts and many of the product representatives. I always ask them their favorite products and therefore, I find the best of the best. Here are a few of my HSN favorites:

Outstanding Vitamins

Andrew Lessman vitamins are easy-to-swallow and easy-to-absorb encapsulated powders.  His Hair, Skin and Nails supplement gave me strong healthy nails for the first time in my life. It has made a dramatic difference for me and others who have tried it. All of the show hosts on HSN use this supplement. To order click on HSN logo and enter hair skin nails into the search box. Try it.  You'll like it!    

Acne Spot Treatment

Dry-Lo is an acne medication designed as a spot treatment. When a zit appears, dab this on at night and the culprit disappears by morning. Again, a HSN host favorite. This really works. It is sometimes available alone, or can be found in various kits by Serious Skin Care.  Click on the HSN logo and enter  dry-lo into the search box. 

Over-40 Skin Care

Signature A by Adrienne is a skin care line available only on HSN. Their products for those over-forty are excellent. I use their Vitamin C anti-wrinkle age defying capsules and would not be without. These capsules are also available in many of Adrienne's kits, all of which are outstanding values. Click on HSN logo and search for adrienne.

Gadget & Computer-Deals

When HSN sells computers and electronic gadgets, they always try to offer some extras with the product. They throw in extra software with computers, and include things like extra ink or paper with printers, and extras such as memory cards, carrying cases and the like with cameras and other devices. While HSN prices on electronics are always competitive, the extra provide addition value that can give you a real bargain.  So be sure to check out their cameras, printers, computers, digital music players and other electronic devices. Click on the HSN logo and then click on Electronics on the horizontal tool bar.
