According to THE SUN, Beauty enthusiasts may be entitled to part of a multi-million dollar payout after popular skincare brand Dr. Dennis Gross was accused of misleading customers about the collagen content in its products.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare has agreed to pay $9.2 million to settle claims that it misrepresented the ingredients in its “C+Collagen” product line. While the company has not admitted any wrongdoing, the settlement brings an end to ongoing litigation.

False Advertising Allegations

The class action lawsuit, filed in New York in March 2023, accused the brand of falsely advertising its C+Collagen line, claiming the products did not actually contain collagen. The lawsuit alleged that since 2016, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare misled customers during a time when the $300 billion cosmetics industry was experiencing significant growth.

The complaint claimed that instead of collagen, a protein known to enhance skin elasticity, rejuvenation, and moisture, the products contained only “vegetable amino acids,” which are neither collagen nor collagen-related compounds. It further asserted that the company knowingly marketed these products to capitalize on consumers’ willingness to pay more for items containing collagen.

Who Can Receive a Payout?

Customers who purchased any Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare C+Collagen products between March 10, 2016, and June 28, 2024, may be eligible for compensation. Class members can receive up to $50 for each product purchased within that time frame.

  • Without Proof of Purchase: Shoppers who do not have a receipt can claim up to $100, covering two products.
  • With Proof of Purchase: Customers who kept receipts can claim up to 10 products, with a maximum payout of $500.

Important Deadlines and Key Dates

To qualify for the settlement, claimants must be aware of several important dates:

  • September 27, 2024: This is the deadline for class members to file claims, object to the settlement terms, or exclude themselves from the agreement. Claims can be submitted through the official settlement website.Those who opt to exclude themselves from the settlement can retain their legal rights and may pursue further action against the company. Failure to file a claim or exclude oneself by this date means forfeiting both compensation and the ability to bring future legal claims.
  • October 31, 2024: A final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled.
