Frequently Asked Questions

SKIN CARE CONCERNS

I have had a reaction to a product, what do I do?

We are sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience. This is most unusual. It is possible to have a reaction to almost any product. Sometimes it is an active ingredient contained in the product, or a reaction to one of the thousands of compounds which make up the fragrance used in the product. Many people go through life without ever having any problem, while others have such "sensitive skin" that they must avoid all perfumes and use only 'fragrance free' products.

 

Palmer’s products are carefully formulated and tested to avoid or very much minimise the incidence of such problems. We are very proud of our excellent record in this area.

We would like to look into this product further. If you could please email [email protected] with your details and we will provide you with a refund, while providing further support if needed.

When will I see results after using Skin Success?

Palmer's Skin Success products gradually fade unwanted spots. Results may be visible in as little as 2 weeks, with best results appearing after 4-8 weeks of consistent treatment*. Please be aware that skin is being treated with retinol and can be extra sensitive to the sun. Because of this, Palmer's recommends the daily use of a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher to prevent future discoloration.
