I love Dermstore in general, however, I was disappointed to see that a lot of the product reviews came from a third party site, and that site is one that gives free products in exchange for reviews. W... See more

I had a live chat, and it took longer than necessary because it was not answering the question I initially asked. I finally got to the answer. I asked a product question about volume of the products.... See more

Extra samples to try are always appreciated. Especially with the cost of the products I am buying. They said I could use a 15% off coupon but it didn't apply to my order.

Never received order

Never received order. Spent 1/2 an hour on chat with poor resolution. Then had to call to ensure credit was issued, another 15 minutes. Dermstore is now off my shopping list for a future orders.

After receiving a message from Liam that situation would be resolved, I received a message asking me to submit payment for the order I already paid for and never received.

No clear communication regarding order status, customer support is pretty useless . But prices are okay.

Absolute worst case scenario

I ordered elta MD UV clear 46spf and it gave me a horrible reaction. I had to follow up with customer service for 3 WEEKS in an attempt to get a refund for this product that aggravated my Rosacea that SPECIFICALLY SAID it was formulated not to. I sent photos multiple times and they claimed to both never have received them and also that they needed to do a “further investigation.” I then did a consult with a “dermatologist” that wound up not being one at all who after sending photos of my reaction AND what product caused the reaction- the first product this “dermatologist” recommended was the product that made me break out! Customer service THEN insinuated I was a LIAR and had not sent the images (which I would gladly post here if the option were available) and said as a “gesture of goodwill” they would refund me. GOODWILL? Your product made me break out in red spots for days!! 0/10 awful first experience with this company. Would not recommend.
