A note from MG:

This high-active skin repair serum is built with perfluorocarbons, peptides and hydrating active ingredients to rescue and rejuvenate distressed, asphyxiated or damaged skin and restore it back to a healthy state. It contains 10% medical grade oxygen which increases oxygen levels within the skin to speed up cellular metabolisms, enhance the production of collagen and elastin, eliminate toxins and repair damage. It’s the epitome of multifunctional, modern skincare.

HOW TO USE 

Best placed as part of your evening routine. After cleansing gently press a pea-sized amount of serum to the face, neck and décolletage. 

Composition No. 1 can also be used as an overnight treatment mask for greater restorative benefits. 

Due to the potency of this product, do not layer with other serums and follow with your night cream.

Changing your mind

For eligible goods bought online, you may cancel without giving a reason. Tell us within 14 days, starting the day after you receive your goods. If one order arrives in separate deliveries, the period starts after the last item arrives. Then send the goods back within 14 days of telling us.

Email us or send another clear statement that you wish to cancel. You may use the optional form below. Your cancellation does not depend on our approving your request or issuing a return label.

Condition of returned goods

Please take reasonable care of the products and include their packaging where possible. You may inspect goods as you would in a shop. Where permitted by law, we may reduce a refund for handling beyond what is necessary to establish the goods’ nature, characteristics and functioning.

The cancellation right does not apply to sealed goods that are unsuitable for return for health or hygiene reasons once their seal has been broken after delivery. This exception applies only where those conditions are met; opening ordinary outer packaging does not automatically remove your rights. It does not affect your rights if goods are faulty or not as described.

Sending a return

Send returns via Royal Mail to Melanie Grant Ltd, 129 Mount St, London W1K 3NX. Include your order number, pack the goods securely and keep evidence of posting. Contact london@melaniegrant.com if you need help with your return.

For eligible change-of-mind returns, please send the goods back via Royal Mail. You are responsible for the direct return postage cost. Please keep your proof of posting. We cover reasonable return costs for faulty or misdescribed goods; contact our team to arrange the return.

Refunds after cancellation

We refund eligible returned goods to the original payment method, unless you expressly agree otherwise, without a refund fee. For cancellation of a whole order, this includes the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option; extra charges for an upgraded service are not refundable.

We make the refund without undue delay and within 14 days of receiving the goods back or receiving evidence that you sent them back, whichever is earlier. If we offer to collect the goods, we refund within 14 days of being told of the cancellation. Any lawful deduction for diminished value will be explained.

Faulty, damaged or misdescribed goods

Please tell us when you discover a problem. UK consumer law generally provides a 30-day right to reject faulty or misdescribed goods for a refund. After that, repair or replacement and, in appropriate circumstances, a price reduction or refund may be available. We will explain the remedy that applies to your circumstances.

Your rights are not restricted to seven days or to store credit. If a statutory refund is due, we provide it without undue delay and within 14 days of agreeing that you are entitled to it.

Reactions to a product

If a product causes a reaction, stop using it and contact our team with the product name and order details. We will discuss the appropriate next step. A reaction does not automatically establish that a product is faulty, and this support process does not limit your statutory rights.

Your rights

This policy covers goods bought online from Skincare Edit UK. Nothing in it limits your statutory consumer rights. Separate terms may apply to services and digital products; any exceptions must be explained before purchase.
