Any damaged or incorrect orders should be brought to our attention within 14 days of receipt. We may request additional photos of the damaged items so please do not throw them away until you have connected with our team or we will not be able to further assist.

Shipping
We accept all major credit cards. When paying by credit card, your name and billing address must match the address on file with the card issuer. We also accept PayPal and credit card gift cards.
We are also adding and updating our list of accepted payment apps
Your card will be charged after your order has been successfully placed.
We currently offer prices in the following currencies which reflect pricing in each region. Some regions include taxes and duties while others do not. Our system takes into account these variations when checking out. Currently, our system provides pricing based on your shipping country:
SGD for Singapore
AUD for Australia
CAD for Canada
EUR for the European Union
KRW for Korea
GBP for the United Kingdom
USD for USA
All other countries have pricing displayed in USD but pricing of products outside of the USA is higher in USD than within the USA because of additional costs we incur to import these products.
If the local/credit card currency is different than the one used at the time of checkout then your bank will convert the amount using the current exchange rate. Any international bank fees are not imposed by Skincalories. The currency and pricing of your order is determined by the country from which you visit us and cannot be changed.
Refunds are issued in same currency as the order was paid. However, please note if you say using a card with a different currency, the amount you get back reflects the exchange rate on the day we issue the refund. Exchange rates change every day so the amount you get back may differ from what was paid.
We only charge the amount calculated during checkout and displayed on your invoice. However, if you are using a prepaid card, there may temporary holds or fees associated with card usage. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions of the card you are using for further details. If you are not using a prepaid card and believe you have been overcharged, please do contact us and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Shipping + Delivery
We happily ship to almost every country.
We try to get to orders as quickly as we receive them and in most cases fulfill orders within 2 business days, but please allow up to 5 business days for orders to be processed due to the extremely high volume of orders we are receiving. We are putting additional resources in place to reduce these delays and appreciate your very kind patience in the interim. Fulfillment times may vary during peak periods such as after/during product launches, holidays and special promotions.

Product
We only work with suppliers who do not perform animal testing. Since that regulation came into force, it has pushed cosmetic raw material suppliers to replace animal testing with available alternatives to support the safety of their ingredients. Skincalories do not test on animals and do not ask others to do so. For this reason, none of our brands or products are sold in stores or conventional retailers in mainland China, since such sales require animal testing for registration purposes.
We know there’s nothing worse than waiting! We recommend signing up for our email notifications for products that are out of stock. If you click the “Email Me When in Stock” button underneath the product you’re interested in, we’ll let you know as soon as it’s restocked!
*Please note that these notifications are unavailable during promotional periods. However, please check back regularly as we will be restocking on an on-going basis as normal.
