Horrible customer service

So I made an account oh dermatica to get Trentinoin. I used a Trentinoin I got on Amazon that gave me some pimples. So I told dermatica this and they created a custom acne formula for me?? Charged me 88 dollars then wouldn’t let me cancel. I’ve never in my life had acne just pimples as a reaction to this Trentinoin cream.
This is a really unfair company that you cannot request or approve what you’re paying for before you buy.
Within 22 hours I made an account, received an acne formula and was told I can’t cancel it???
88 dollars down the drain 🥹

Customer Service is abysmal

I actually used Dermatica a few years ago, and honestly their customer service was amazing. You would get replies within a day or so, and it felt like you were actually talking to a human being.

I recently wanted to restart my prescription, and it has honestly been the most frustrating experience.

Not only does it take around a week for someone to respond to your queries, but when they do - it's almost as if they are not reading / paying attention/ understanding your correspondence. It's like you're talking to an AI bot that refreshes the chat every time, and disregards anything you've mentioned previously.

My request was simple, to start back on my previous prescription at the same strength - 2 weeks later, I was still repeating myself to numerous different customer service representatives who were just copy and pasting a generic message that literally had nothing to do with what I was requesting.

It was the final straw when they finally said "Oh we can't do that, because we no longer offer that strength". Which is fine - but why couldn't they have mentioned this in the beginning?! I spoke to 4+ different people and it took two weeks and a heck of a lot of emails just to come to this conclusion.

The whole experience was like banging my head against the wall. Dermatica used to be great, but honestly I would avoid them now and look into alternatives such as Skin + Me.

Hi Felicia,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with Dermatica didn't meet your expectations.

We are incredibly sorry for the miscommunication and the deep frustration this back-and-forth caused you. It is never our intention to make you feel like you are speaking into a void, and we completely understand why this felt like a disjointed experience when you were simply looking for clarity on your prescription strength.

Our treatments are prescription medications, and strengths and treatment plans are evidence-based and selected for each patient on an individual basis. Strengths of ingredients chosen also reflect the need to balance the clinical benefit delivered versus any potential side effects. However, safe, transparent, and proactive prescribing must remain our priority, and where we are not able to offer a specific strength or combination, we absolutely aim to communicate this to you clearly and right from the outset. We try hard to offer a flexible, accommodating, and accessible service, and we sincerely apologise that this was not your experience this time around.

We want to reassure you that your detailed feedback has been shared directly internally. We are constantly working to improve our continuation of care and communication so that returning patients experience the smooth, human service we always strive to deliver.

Our Customer Care and Clinical teams remain on hand if you ever wish to discuss this further. You can reach out to us directly via our contact form: https://bit.ly/dmtcahelp.

Take care,
The Team at Dermatica

Wish I had done this years ago

I was hesitant at first owing to the price and the claims of the products being medically/dermatologically approved and unique to users specific needs. But I have been really pleasantly surprised by how well things have gone. Fantastic products which I am seeing the effects of after only a few months use and excellent customer support. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their skin and feel more confident. The only bad thing is that I didn't commit sooner.

Treatment Concerns Ignored While Locked Into Another 6-Month Payment

Having been a Dermatica customer since 2020, this is not a review I ever expected to write. I previously had very positive experiences with the company, which makes the current situation even more disappointing.

After raising concerns that my current prescription was no longer effectively addressing my skin concerns, I felt the revised treatment approach suggested by the dermatology team failed to properly address the issues I had explained in detail, despite my long treatment history with the company.

What has concerned me most, however, is the company’s billing and refund approach. A further 6-month upfront payment was taken automatically and, once I raised concerns and requested cancellation, I was left feeling effectively tied into treatment due to the amount already paid.

I find it very difficult to understand or justify a policy where a customer cannot easily obtain a fair refund for unused treatment, particularly where prescriptions have not yet been finalised, dispatched or used. In circumstances like this, the company stands to lose very little by handling matters fairly and reasonably, yet the experience instead leaves the customer feeling financially trapped.

Combined with extremely slow response times throughout the process, the overall experience has unfortunately damaged my trust in the company significantly.

I do think prospective customers should be fully aware of the recurring upfront billing structure and carefully consider the financial commitment before proceeding.

Absolutely awful experience with…

Absolutely awful experience with Dermatica. Their products completely ruined my skin and made my face worse than it has ever been. I trusted them with my skin concerns, but instead of helping, they caused irritation, breakouts, and damage that I’m still trying to fix.

What’s shocking is how little proper support or treatment they provided after I raised concerns. It felt like they were happy to keep taking payments without actually caring about the harm being caused. For a company claiming to provide professional skincare treatment, the service was careless and dismissive.

I regret using Dermatica and would never recommend them to anyone.

Our treatments are prescription medications and strengths and treatment plans are evidence based and selected for each patient on an individual basis. Strengths of ingredients chosen also reflects the need to balance the benefit delivered by the medication versus any side effects and this can be titrated up or down accordingly according to your needs.

The effectiveness of the treatment…

The effectiveness of the treatment itself is great. Within my first month my skin has improved so much. My skin is clearer, less texture, minimised pores and less hyperpigmentation which is something I really struggle with. The subscription is easy which also makes the experience easy. I am excited to see how my skin improves the longer I use Dermatica.

Back in 2022

Back in 2022, I created an account when there was an introductory first-month offer available. At the time, after seeing the payment plan, I decided not to go ahead as I wasn’t in a position to commit financially, so I never subscribed, paid for, or received any products.

Recently, as my skin hasn’t been great, I decided to sign up again using a different email address because I no longer had access to the old one. I completed the sign-up process, uploaded photos, and went through verification, only to then receive an email accusing me of trying to abuse the offer by creating multiple accounts.

I explained the situation and said I would completely understand if I had previously used the offer, but I never did. They then offered me 50% off as a “returning customer,” which felt contradictory given the accusation. Because of the experience, I chose to cancel and request a refund.

I’ve since gone with Skin + Me instead, and the difference in both customer service and product quality has been excellent.

While the products are good..though havent seen that big of an improvement. I dont like the fact that you can follow the delivery of your orders..you get an email to say its been dispatched (like 3 or 4 days after paying i feel like it could be quicker) and after that you cant check anything, so hope for the best from royal mail.
