Absolutely! Our products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals.

Active ingredients - occasionally termed ‘medical grade’ - are potent concentrates of a certain 'active' or ingredient (e.g. vitamin C). All VIL Skin Care products incorporate active ingredients in much higher quantities than are found in over-the-counter skin care products.

Yes! We use high strength compounds that are 100% free of irritants and allergens. Aside from being paraben-free and carcinogenic-free, all VIL Skin Care ingredients are natural and non-synthetic.

All skin care products including products that contain all natural ingredients, can cause skin reactions in susceptible individuals, especially if the products contain higher percentages of active ingredients. If you have sensitive skin, please do a patch test before use. If use causes an adverse skin reaction, then discontinue use immediately, and see your doctor or pharmacist if no relief comes from rinsing the affected area in cool water or your are concerned about any side effects you may have whilst using VIL Skin Care products. VIL Skin Care gives no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, nor shall VIL Skin Care be liable for any damages, including consequential damages of any kind that may result from the use of VIL Skin Care products especially the products were bought without consultation.

Some of our products use airless pump technology. Airless pump dispensers utilise a vacuum system to dispense and keep the formula within the container fresh. Airless packaging helps to keep air and contaminants out of the formula, which enhances its stability and effectiveness. When using your product for the first time, you may need to "prime" the dispenser. There is a disk that pushes the product to the top which can become stuck, and you may need to bang the bottom of the bottle 3-4 times on a flat and hard surface to loosen the disk, then pump the dispenser slowly about 15-20 times upside down. After it starts pumping you can pump right side up as normal. If the dispenser stops working at any time, simply repeat the "priming" step. We do not recommend attempting to dismantle the package. Please note that there is not supposed to be a "straw" in the packaging. If you only opened it once and were able to put it back together, the product should still be effective as long as it wasn't exposed to air for a long period of time.

VIL Skin Care products indicate the percentage strength of active compounds wherever applicable. For example, our Vitamin C 20% Super Serum includes concentrated vitamin C at 20% strength. However, the percentage of active ingredients usually concerns alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs) only. This is because the potency of ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen depends on their molecular weight rather than their concentration/percentage strength.

Everyone's skin is unique and responds in different ways to our products. To help you out, we've listed all the main active ingredients on each of our individual product pages. We do not aim to substitute the advice of your doctor or make representations of our products as right for you and your individual needs. Therefore, in advance of purchasing any VIL Skin Care product, we strongly advise you to check our ingredient lists and ascertain whether you may be allergic to any of these. Although allergic reactions are incredibly rare, anyone has the potential to react to commonly-used ingredients and carriers in skin care products. We recommend that prior to using any topical formula for the first time, it's best to perform a 'patch test' using a small amount of product on a discreet area of the face or body such as the elbow crease or back of the ear, avoiding open wounds or particularly sensitive areas. For certain natural actives, a degree of skin reddening and flaking is normal and to be expected. Should any long-term irritation occur, consider reducing application frequency or, in cases of untoward or significant reactions to these products or others, discontinue use entirely and contact our customer services team for advice at info@vilskincare.com. Regretfully, we cannot refund or replace any used items unless they are faulty or damaged. We cannot grant refund requests for allergic reactions related to VIL Skin Care products that have been purchased via this website or others, outside of our Vitamin Injections London clinics, and without an official written prescription from our practitioners. This does not affect your statutory rights.
