Why are some products labeled “account only?”
Several of our suppliers require us to provide a consultation prior to purchase. You will need to be an account holder to purchase these products.
Can you advise which products are suitable for my skin type and needs?
You will need to set up an account with us and consult with our Esthetician prior to purchase. We will be delighted to advise you on our complete range of products. However please note you must consult with your own physician prior to use.

Payment

What payments do you accept?
We safely accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal via our highly secured SSL connection. Our secure server software encrypts all your personal information including credit card number, name, and address so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the internet. Once in our system, credit card information is encrypted and password protected. We do not store credit card information.

You can pay by check or postal money order payable to Skin Elite Group LLC. Select “Mail in check” on the order form and send us a personal check or money order in U.S. dollars for the amount of your order. Please note that paying by check slows down your order since we do not ship until funds are cleared.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Sales tax is only collected on orders sent within the state of Texas. Texas law requires that we charge a sales tax on the full amount of the order. By law, charges for shipping and handling are considered part of the product and must be included when the sales tax is calculated.
What should I do if your site is not accepting my payment details?
Make sure that you have entered your credit card information and billing address correctly.

Be sure you have adequate funds in your account.

If everything is correct, please contact our customer service team who would be glad to help you resolve the issue (1-888-400-4472).

Where do I enter a coupon code / promotional code?
After adding your product(s) to your shopping cart, there is an option below your total to enter the code. Simply enter the code and click Apply. This will automatically apply the discount to your order.

If you forget to enter the code in your shopping cart, there is a box near the bottom of the checkout page labeled COUPON CODE/PROMOTIONAL CODE (OPTIONAL) where you may enter the code. Enter the code and click Apply. This will automatically apply the discount to your order.
