Frequently asked questions.

We use Royal Mail 48 to ensure that orders are delivered within 48 hours of being shipped. Unfortunately, deliveries to some areas are taking longer than expected due to the ongoing strikes. We are working around the clock to speed up shipments and minimise delays and we appreciate your patience.

 You can view the status of your order by logging in to your account here. A “processing” order status means that we have started making your customised serum. A “completed” order status means that the order has been shipped and is on its way to you. You will receive an email confirmation when your order has been shipped.

Our customised serums are currently sold through a subscription, and you are provided with your next payment date at the checkout before you place your order. We may from time to time sell one-off products which are not part of a subscription. Products which are not part of a subscription will not show a re-curring payment date schedule at checkout.

At the moment, our serums are only sold through a subscription.
