FAQ
Placing an order
How do I place an order online?

How can I pay on your website?
When you check out, you will be offered the choice to pay with your debit/credit card or to checkout using PayPal. If you use PayPal, you will need to tick the box to accept our Terms and Conditions and then you will be taken to PayPal to complete your order.

Will I be charged VAT?
All Nip + Fab products include UK Value Added Tax (VAT), where applicable. Total tax payable will be itemised at checkout.
Do I have to pay import duties or taxes for orders outside the UK?
All Nip + Fab international orders are shipped from the UK, so you may be charged import duties or taxes when the parcel reaches the delivery country. These charges vary and must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. If you have any questions related to customs charges, please contact your local customs office. Nip + Fab will not refund orders that have not cleared customs or where customs and/or duties have not been paid.
If you are shipping to the USA or EU, we ship from warehouses located in these regions. Please choose your shipping country at the bottom of the website to make sure you are shopping on the correct website.
Whice currencies can I pay in?
Nip + Fab allows payments to be made in British Pounds Sterling (GBP), Euros (EUR) if shopping on our EU website and US Dollars (USD) if shopping on our US website.
When is payment taken from my card?
Payment is taken from all payment types immediately and will only go through once our security Cchecks have been successful. If your payment has been unsuccessful, the funds may be Pending in your account but will return to your payment type within 2-7 working days.
Can I add items, change or cancel my order once confirmed?
Unfortunately, once your order is complete, you can no longer add items, or change your order. However, you can easily return any unwanted items to us for a refund if the box is returned unopened.
If you want to add items, you should place another order within 24 hours of your original order, then contact us with both order numbers, and we will try to have them packed together. If we can do this we can refund you the additional delivery charge. Please note that if you are a US customer we are unable to offer this service to combine two orders in one parcel.
You have the right to cancel your order within 24 hours of placing your order. Sometimes our warehouse is really quick at getting the orders out the door and they could have already dispatched it to you, if this is the case we would be unable to cancel it. However, you can easily return the order to us as long as the box is unopened.
Can I place my order over the phone?
Due to security reasons we are unable to place orders over the phone or email.
I'm having trouble placing my order
We can't always work out why some people have problems with website and others don't, it has a lot to do with how up to date your operating system and browser is, or what browser you're using. Sometimes it helps just to close the browser and reload it.
You might also want to try clearing your browsing history including your cookies as this often solves a lot of issues. Don't worry if you are unsure how to do this; Contact us and give us as much information as you can and our customer service team will try their best to help you.
Why can't I sign into my account?
If you're having trouble signing in, please check you're using the same email address and password you used to register with us. Our passwords are case sensitive, so check you haven't accidentally left Caps Lock on. If you forget your password, you can reset it, by clicking on the forgotten password link on the login page. An e-mail containing a link to create a new password will be sent to the email address with which you registered. Please check your junk mail folder in case it makes its way there. If you are still having difficulty, please Contact us with screenshots highlighting your error.
Why has my card payment failed?
We're not able to specify why card payments fail as the payment process involves both our systems and your bank. In the first instance you should double check you've entered all the details correctly, that you are using a card which has not expired, and that your billing address has been entered at checkout exactly as it appears on your bank statement.
If your billing address is incorrect it will cause your payment to fail - this is a security measure banks put in place to protect your security. If all else fails then please try an alternative card for payment - we accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as PayPal.

Product information
Are your products pregnancy safe?
Each of our products are formulated in line with the strict EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and have undergone rigorous testing including a safety assessment as required by law, carried out by a qualified safety assessor. The assessment covers the safety of the finished product, as well as the individual ingredients, how and where the product is to be used, by whom and how often. This includes use by expectant mothers during pregnancy.
Dermatologists usually recommend avoiding Vitamin A during pregnancy (particularly the prescription-only versions of it), however the amount in our products is quite low and a version that is considered pregnancy safe. Nevertheless, we would suggest customers consult their GP or midwife before using any products containing Vitamin A. Below is a list of our products that contain Vitamin A:
Glycolic Extreme Bubble Sheet Mask
Retinol Sheet Mask
Retinol Concentrate Booster
Retinol Overnight Treatment Cream
Retinol Eye Cream
Retinol Serum
Are your products tested on animals?
The Rodial Group, together with our suppliers do not test our products or ingredients on animals. We also do not use any third parties to carry any out of those tests. Our products are available in China under the cross-border e-commerce model which allows the importation and sale of foreign cosmetic brands to Chinese consumers without pre-market approvals.
How do we know what your product expiration dates are?
Our products all have a period after opening (open jar symbol) printed on pack. This denotes how long you have to use the product and is written in month format. We recommend using the product within this time frame to ensure its effectiveness.
How do I know what product I should be using?
We created the Routine Builder Quiz to help you find the products that are right for your skin. Just answer a few simple questions and we'll recommend a Nip + Fab Fix range for you. Start here
Recommendations for teen skin?
Our Teen Skin Fix range was made for sensitive and blemish-prone complexions, so it's perfect for teenagers. Shop the full range here
When using products with Retinol, should I use extra SPF protection?
We always advise using an SPF of 20 or above to protect your skin whilst using retinol-based products. Retinol is known to cause sensitivity to sunlight, so we recommend that you use any products containing retinol overnight and not in the day. We would also recommend not using salicylic and glycolic ranges without SPF as they can also cause skin to become more sensitive, and therefore require extra protection.
Competitions
Competition details
From time to time we may run customer competitions to win our products. These may be hosted on our own website, via our own social media channels or hosted on other websites we have a partnership with. Any email data that is collected will not be shared with third parties unless you specify that you would like to opt-in to receive third party communications. This will always be clearly stated and there will be an opt-in box provided. All our competitions have attached terms and conditions on how to enter and the competition start and end dates. These will either be provided on the website page on which it sits or in the comments section if it is a social competition. Winners of our competitions will be contacted the next working day (If the competition closes on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday, then they will be contacted the next following working day). Winners will have 2 weeks in which to provide a response with their details to allow for fulfilment of the prize. If no response is received, Nip+Fab reserve the right to randomly select another winner. Please note that competition prizes cannot be refunded or exchanged for cash alternative.
