Good prices, free postage, arrived within a week - very impressed!

I've recently started using Neostrata products to help with my acne and had been buying them through another website reccommended by my skin clinic. I gave Skincity a try as I had noticed that the same products were often the same price or cheaper and there was also no postage to pay, which made it cheaper overall. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I placed my first order on 13th December and it arrived by 19th, so within a week which is fine, especially for free postage. The products come nicely wrapped and I like that you can choose some samples of other products as a free gift. I have already placed another order and will probably continue to use Skincity in future.

Thanks for your review! We are really sorry to hear you are unhappy with the custom charges you have received, this is of course not what we want. Custom charges happen at the border and this is not a charge from Skincity. We do have a message at the checkout to inform that Ireland deliveries may incur custom charges when your parcel reaches the border, I'm very sorry if you feel this was not clear and I will certainly pass this onto the team for their review. We really appreciate all feedback and we are looking into ways to resolve this inconvenience soon. If have a registered account with us, you will be notified of such changes when they happen. I can see my colleague has been in touch with you on email and a refund has been processed. Please don't hesitate to get in touch on email if we can help further. Kind Regards, Customer Relations/Skincity

I was looking for 'Kiehl's Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish', which seemed to be out of stock (online), everywhere except 'Skincity'. On Black Friday I ordered multiple units as it was such a great price (30% discount). I received a free gift & samples with my order - which arrived quickly. I absolutely recommend 'Skincity' for legitimate, quality beauty products at great prices. Excellent customer service, too.

Dodgy Products

Do NOT use this company!

Not sure where they get their products from but can only assume they get them cheap because they are old and going out of date. I bought a vit c serum that I have used before. These oxidise, go dark and shouldnt be used. Skincity sent me a product that was brown. Not happy.

Thanks for your review! We are very sorry to hear you are unhappy with your product, this is of course not what we want. We want to reassure you that we only purchase products directly from the authorised distributors and we do not sell old or out of date products. Our customer promise is service, quality and knowledge and we would never jeopardize that with offering old/out of date products.

We have previously contacted the UK distributor for SkinCeuticals about their antioxidants and they have confirmed that their Vitamin C can darken, even when the bottle is unopened, but it is still fine to use. It contains stable and active ingredients, and this will not affect the ingredients.

We have contacted you separately and if you have any further questions or concerns you are welcome to get in touch with us. Kind Regards, Customer Relations/Skincity

**SCAM ALERT ** Ordered very expensive…

**SCAM ALERT ** FAKE PRODUCTS ** Ordered very expensive face cream, when arrived - NOT A GENUINE PRODUCT. Had this confirmed by an aesthetic doctor by him checking the pharmaceutical website. Item received nothing like image on their website. I emailed images to prove this was not a genuine product to Skincity. No apology or acknowledgment - rude response- “sorry you’re not happy with the packaging!“ It’s not about the packaging it’s the fact the product is fake & I’ve been ripped off. I have been instructed to return the item but to ensure no seals are broken and to make sure it’s returned in original the packaging and any free gifts are returned (didn’t receive any anyway). The absolute cheek of it! Furious as this was for an imminent birthday present. Companies like this spoil it for other genuine traders. Awaiting a full refund!!!

**Update: 4/12/22**
Item returned unopened as requested nearly 10 days ago. Whether you agree if this item is fake or not I am still entitled to a full refund as this item has been returned to you in perfect unopened condition. I have sent yet another email today requesting my money back to Elaine. I am on the verge of contacting trading standards. It’s disgusting, they can take your money off you quickly, but the same doesn’t apply when you want a refund!!

Thanks for your review! We completely understand your suspicion and we will get to the bottom of this with our supplier as quickly possible. As soon as we have the product, we can investigate this further.

We only cooperate directly with the supplier, and we would never deceive our customers. Our customer promise is service, quality and knowledge and we would never jeopardise that with offering fake products. We work towards and aim for long term relationships with our customers.

We have contacted you separately and will make sure to find out why this product does not look the same as the one you bought earlier. Kind Regards, Customer Relations/Skincity

Gorgeous, gift wrapped item

I ordered my first item from here. It arrived so quickly and was beautifully wrapped inside; so much care taken for an online order, which is rare nowdays! So impressed as it was the also the cheapest place I could find the item I wanted. I have asked for items from here for Christmas because it was just packaged so lovely and the service was excellent too.

Excellent!

Excellent customer service, and they did everything and more to rectify when Evri lost my parcel. Problems will occur but it is how they are dealt with that matters, and Skincity could not have done any more to get the product to me by express delivery. Very, very impressed and the communication was first rate. Thank you & I will definitely buy from Skincity again.

Charged import duties

Charged import duties. Wish I had seen the last review before I ordered. It definitely needs to be made clearer on the website. I’ll be sticking with Cult Beauty in future.

Charged import duty

While the product was good value and the shipping was very fast I was charged an additional €14 customs on one item. It’s probably thrown into the T&Cs but it should be stated clearly on the site …. Won’t be ordering again

Very pleased!

Really happy with all my purchases from Skincity, delivery time and communication. I also like that based on your previous purchases they select/ send you samples that could work for your skin. Have discovered great new brands this way that I never would have tried!

Despatch is prompt, items well packaged. I had an issue with one product and I had to return it to the post office which was a bit of a fuss but they sent me a new one and some samples which was kind. They have a great range of products too!

I love this company

I love this company. They often have great promotions on. I found them by chance in April and have just received my third order from them. They have a great range of products and the delivery is always very fast and packaged nicely. I’d recommend this website.

If I could give 10 stars, I would

I have placed about 3 or 4 orders with Skincity. I recently had an issue with an order that was claimed to be delivered in a safe place but my order was not there. As I really wanted the products, I re-ordered the items and asked if the promotion they had was still ongoing. Even though it wasn’t, Skincity refunded the discount from my original order. I don’t think I’ve ever received this type of fantastic service before. On a general note, they offer hard to find brands which I love and they always have some great offers. I can’t recommend Skincity highly enough!!
