Delivery

Two ways to get your order.

Option one

Courier to your door

Nationwide, to any address in South Africa — home, office or complex.

  • Free on orders over R750 · R95 flat fee below
  • Dispatched within 1 working day of payment
  • 2–4 working days in transit — main centres usually faster, outlying areas a touch longer
  • Tracking number sent to you on WhatsApp the moment it ships
Orders placed over weekends or public holidays dispatch the next working day. Manual EFT orders ship once payment reflects.
Option two

Collect from the clinic

Always free, whatever the order size — and you get to say hi.

  • Ready within 1 working day — we'll WhatsApp you when it's waiting
  • Suite 6, First Floor, Hilton Health, Cnr Monzali Drive & Hilton Avenue, Hilton
  • Free parking at Hilton Health, lift access to the first floor
  • Collect during clinic hours · Mon–Fri 08:30–16:30
Collecting is also the perfect excuse to ask the team a quick skin question in person — we don't charge for hallway advice.
Returns

Fair to you, safe for everyone.

Skincare is personal — and it goes on your face. So our returns policy balances flexibility with the hygiene standards you'd want us to hold for the products you receive too.

We happily accept

  • Unopened products in original sealed packaging, within 14 days of delivery
  • Damaged-in-transit items — replaced at our cost, no debate
  • Faulty or defective products — replaced or refunded, per the CPA
  • Wrong item sent (our mistake) — corrected immediately, courier on us
  • Exchanges for a different product of the same or higher value

We can't restock

  • Opened or used skincare — for hygiene reasons you'd want us to have
  • Products with broken seals or missing packaging
  • Items returned after the 14-day window without prior arrangement
  • Professional products dispensed under consultation (e.g. Cosmelan®) — these follow your treatment plan, talk to your practitioner

Nothing on this page limits your statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act. When in doubt, message us — a human reads it, and we err on the side of fair.

Starting a return

Three steps, no forms in triplicate.

1

WhatsApp us first

Message (+27) 82 838 8741 with your order number and what's wrong. For damaged or incorrect items, send a photo within 48 hours of delivery — it makes the fix instant.

2

We arrange the collection

For our mistakes and damaged items, the courier comes to you at our cost. For change-of-mind returns, you can courier it back or drop it at the clinic.

3

Refund or exchange

Once checked back in, refunds go to your original payment method within 5–7 working days; exchanges ship straight away. We keep you posted on WhatsApp throughout.

Quick answers

Delivery & returns FAQ

Do you deliver everywhere in South Africa?

Yes — any physical address nationwide. Main centres typically see 2–3 working days; outlying and rural areas 3–4. We don't currently ship internationally.

My order is a gift — can you leave the invoice out?

Of course. Add a note at checkout and we'll pack it invoice-free, with prices nowhere in sight.

What if I'm not home when the courier arrives?

The courier will contact you on the number from your order — that's why we ask for your WhatsApp number. You can also add delivery notes (gate codes, safe place, office hours) at checkout.

My product arrived damaged — now what?

WhatsApp us a photo within 48 hours of delivery with your order number. We'll replace it at our cost, collection included — no forms, no fuss.

Can I return a product my skin reacted to?

Stop using it and WhatsApp us straight away — a reaction is a skin conversation before it's a returns conversation, and our team will advise you properly. While opened products can't be restocked, we handle reactions case by case, fairly, and we'll always help you find what your skin actually needs.

How do I track my order?

Your tracking number arrives on WhatsApp the moment your parcel ships. Stuck or something looks off? Message us — we usually reply within five minutes during clinic hours.

Order question? A human answers.

No ticket numbers, no "your call is important to us." WhatsApp the team with your order number and we'll sort it — usually within five minutes during clinic hours.
