Reply from The Formula Skincare

Hi Ramon,

Thank you so much for your order and your review. We always appreciate all and any feedback.

I checked your order and it seems there was a delay because of the ongoing production issues with the particular brand.

However it seems that somehow we missed your order when the stock did come in so there was a really big delay.

Sorry for that mistake and the inconvenience it caused. We are a super small business and team (Only three people) so things can get a bit crazy/overwhelming if there is a mix of supply chain issues and lots of orders. We appreciate your patience while we make improvements there.

I’m happy we got back to you with responses and updates quickly once you got in touch.

We would love to make it up to you if you wanted to give us another opportunity to show you that we can be good/efficient so shoot us an email at hello@theformulaskincare.com if you like.

Otherwise completely understand and thank you for your feedback.

Hope you have a great weekend and all the best.

The Formula

Great products and shopping experience

Sometimes the skin doesn't need all the bells and whistles of skincare. I purchased G&G's HA5 RICH and aPAD. The former was on backorder/preorder waiting for fresh stock and was worth the weight. It came super quick once was back in stock. I will definitely repurchase from here again.

Prompt delivery, be aware of Pre-Order products

Prompt delivery and very clear communication from the product team. I was especially surprised and touched when I was sent a free product due to an ongoing long delay on the delivery of a pre-order product. I really appreciate how regularly and promptly I receive emails about my queries. There is a personal feel to the business and the product selection. Be aware that there are a fair amount of products that are pre-order in order to maintain small batch fresh ingredients and order accordingly. I am also a fan of the fact that the website chooses well priced brands and products to make available to Australian customers. I’m happy to continue ordering from The Formula.

Always Great Service

The two products I ordered a day apart arrived in the same package - which was great. Items arrived on time and were correct, never had an issue with anything I've ordered. Service is great! Loving the Geek and Gorgeous products.

Fabulous Geek & Gorgeous products at a great price. I have been using this brand for a little while now and it is truly gentle but effective on my rosacea prone skin. The only down about the experience relates to the long delay on the products I had on back order.

Great site for us in Australia!

I came across The Formula Skincare when looking for a specific eye cream in Australia. Their site has all brands I hear about in my YT beauty channels (Mostly American) whose links don't often ship to Australia. I am soooo happy The Formula can provide us with these wonderful Korean, Japanese etc beauty products. The ordering was easy as and the delivery process was all good. Thank you.
