Ordering & Shipping
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free on orders of $65 or more. Orders under $65 ship for a flat $10. You'll see your shipping total at checkout before you pay.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders are processed and shipped within 1 to 3 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays). After that, delivery usually takes 3 to 7 business days, depending on where you live. You'll get an email with your tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Why did my order arrive in more than one package?
Your products ship directly from each brand. If you order from more than one, like GlyMed Plus, Face Reality and Skin Script, your items may arrive in separate packages, each with its own tracking.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Right now I only ship within the United States. If that changes, I'll share it here and with my email list.
What is your return policy?
You can return unopened, unused items in their original sealed packaging within 30 days of delivery. Please email me at clearlabelskincare@gmail.com with your order number before sending anything back, and I'll send you return instructions. For hygiene and safety, opened or used skincare can't be returned. You can read the full Refund Policy.
What if my order arrives damaged or I get the wrong item?
I'm so sorry! Email a photo to clearlabelskincare@gmail.com within 7 days of delivery and I'll send a replacement at no cost to you. I may ask you to send the item back.
Do you offer a first-order discount?
Yes! Join my email list and you'll get 10% off your first order, plus skincare tips and new arrivals.
Products & Brands
Are your products authentic?
Yes. I'm a licensed esthetician and an authorized seller of GlyMed Plus, Face Reality and Skin Script. Your order ships directly from the brand, never from a third-party reseller.
Which brands do you carry?
I carry three professional skincare lines I trust and use with my clients: GlyMed Plus, Face Reality and Skin Script. You can shop by brand, or by skin concern in the menu.
What's the difference between professional and drugstore skincare?
Professional lines like GlyMed Plus, Face Reality and Skin Script are made to be sold through licensed skin professionals, who can help you choose the right products and use them the right way. That guidance is the big difference, so you're not guessing. If you're not sure where to start, I'm happy to help.
Can I buy Face Reality online?
Yes. Face Reality is a professional skincare line, and as an authorized seller I offer it right here in my Face Reality shop. If you'd like help choosing, take my skin quiz or email me.
Do you have travel sizes or kits?
Yes! I carry travel kits and full skincare sets that bundle a routine together, which is an easy way to get started or try a brand. You'll find them all in Skincare Sets.
Skin Concerns
What does “acne-safe” mean?
Acne-safe products are formulated without common pore-clogging ingredients, which matters if you break out easily. You'll find acne-friendly picks from all three brands in Acne & Breakouts.
What should I use for acne-prone skin?
A simple routine usually works best: a gentle cleanser, a treatment product, a light moisturizer and sunscreen every morning. You can shop it all in Acne & Breakouts, or take my skin quiz for an AM and PM routine. If your breakouts are painful or not improving, please check with your doctor or a dermatologist.
What's good for sensitive skin or redness?
Look for soothing, gentle formulas, and add one new product at a time so you can see how your skin responds. My Sensitive Skin & Redness section brings together gentler options from all three brands. I always suggest a patch test first.
Do I really need sunscreen every day?
Yes, daily sunscreen is one of the simplest ways to protect your skin, especially if you use exfoliating acids or retinoids. You'll find options for every skin type in Sunscreen (SPF).
Pregnancy
Do you have pregnancy-friendly skincare?
Yes. My Pregnancy-Friendly Skincare section lists formulas without retinoids, hydroquinone or high-strength salicylic acid. Every pregnancy is different, so please always double-check with your doctor before using any new skincare while pregnant or nursing.
Are GlyMed Plus, Face Reality and Skin Script safe during pregnancy?
It depends on the product, not the brand. Each brand has some products with ingredients many doctors suggest avoiding, like retinoids or strong acids, along with gentler options. I've gathered the gentler ones in Pregnancy-Friendly Skincare, and please check with your doctor before starting anything new.
Can I care for breakouts while pregnant?
Many of the strongest acne ingredients aren't recommended during pregnancy, so please talk to your doctor about what's right for you. For gentle daily care, start with the cleansers, toners and moisturizers in my Pregnancy-Friendly Skincare section.
Routines & the Skin Quiz
How does the skin quiz work?
Answer six quick questions, which takes about a minute, and I'll put together a simple morning and evening routine for your skin. It's a friendly guide, not a diagnosis. Take the skin quiz.
How do I build a skincare routine?
Start with the basics: cleanse, treat, moisturize, and use sunscreen in the morning. Add one new product at a time and give it a few weeks before adding the next. My skin quiz builds a starter routine for you, or you can grab a ready-made set from Skincare Sets.
How do I know my skin type?
Try this: wash with a gentle cleanser, wait an hour, and notice how your skin feels. Oily skin looks shiny all over, dry skin feels tight, and combination skin is oily mainly in the T-zone. Still unsure? My skin quiz asks a few easy questions to point you in the right direction.
Can I get personal product advice?
Of course! I'm a licensed esthetician, and I'm happy to help you choose the right products before you buy. Email me at clearlabelskincare@gmail.com and I'll get back to you within 1 to 2 business days.
