Bought the special offer kit but…

Bought the special offer kit but decided against it , had not used it and decided to request a refund . It was within the. 2 week refund period and received a message saying return it. I sent it with my details inside just in a see case but have yet to receive a refund, this is nearly 2 weeks after I sent it . I have emailed and left messages but no response . I found that you have to jump through so many hoops to get a response you cannot speak to a human being . As a pensioner .i cannot afford to lose £60 .
So I finally receive a refund of £40…how is that fair? Cost me to return it and cost over £60 to buy it ! Never touching Rodial again .

Painful rashes from this brand

Every rodial product I have ever tried has given me an instant and horrific rash all over my face, hot, blotchy redness that takes ages to go down. Some of these were the snakes blood and bee venom products but I've tried several and every time has been the same. After these experiences I'm just terrified to ever try them again, even when they are samples or minis I have received. I've used a multitude of skincare brands and products and never had this problem elsewhere.

First class service

This was my first experience with this company and thought I would try a kit that would give my skin a good trial with some of their products. The kit included snake oil drops, retinol oil, eye cream and eye lash/brow serum. I also bought some lip oil and an extra bottle of the retinol oil. I've used them all religiously for a week or so up to now and really like them all. I apply the oil to slightly damp skin to help it spread all over my face, 2-3 drops isn't very much but I find damp skin helps. It's a little early to tell yet but so far my skin is happy. I had a concern with the bottles of snake oil drops looking half empty and emailed and got a reply straight away. I'm thinking maybe the bottles are bigger than the 10ml and without pouring it all out to measure it, I trust I haven't been short-changed. So all in all I'm very happy with the products and service I've had, they couldn't have been any more helpful.

I am disappointed with the bee venom & placenta cream. It sits on the surface of my skin & isn’t absorbed very well.
I have tried to persevere but it isn’t the quality product I was expecting & I regret buying it.

Excellent Customer Service

I made my first ever purchase with Rodial and was so looking forward to it arriving. Unfortunately when it arrived it was badly damaged/broken. I contacted Customer Service straight away and was delighted with a quick response from Alex. Alex sent me a replacement order which arrived promptly. I highly commend Rodial and Alex.

Worst customer service

Worst customer service. I purchased Bee Venom Cleansing Balm earlier this year as a backup for Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. I just opened it 2 days ago to use it and lid had been melted and it was disgusting. I reached out to Space NK who advised me to get in touch with Rodial. Alex from Rodial customer service team confirmed that they were aware of the lids being melted and offered me replacement. I thought great but then he came back saying he won't be able to help and I should get in touch with Space NK. Ridiculous company. They are aware of the manufacturing fault and yet they refuse to help. I even offered to return the faulty Cleansing Balm back to them at my own cost for examining but they just ignored my request. Now I am having to throw away £45 Cleansing Balm as I don't want to put melted plastic on my face. They won't help you knowing very well that product is faulty.

Dear Penelope,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I’m sorry to hear the Mystery Box didn’t meet your expectations this time around. We understand the excitement around viral products, and while the selection is designed to introduce a variety of our favourites, we appreciate it can sometimes miss the mark for individual preferences.

Your thoughts are valuable, and we’ll take them on board as we continue to curate future boxes. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, feel free to reach out directly – we’re always happy to assist!

Best wishes,
