FAQ
You asked us to hurry up and get you our tested & perfected formulas, so here they are!
During Early Access, you’ll see changing packages, labels and materials as we test & perfect your experience (we call it Peer Reviewed Skincare for a reason!)
While in early access, all our products will be sold at a discount from their eventual price.
Shipping + Returns
We ship from Canada. Shipping is free for orders over $50 within Canada and the US, and free for orders over $85 globally.
The fee for shipping under these amounts varies from $9-$19 depending on the destination.
Note: we are not responsible for fees incurred after shipping to international destinations (VAT, duties, taxes, import fees, handling fees, etc.). and we can't refund orders that have been refused for this reason.
We now ship globally to over 140 countries!
Outside North America, we have a modified returns policy so please read the relevant FAQ section or reach out with any questions before placing your order.
Note: we cannot refund fees incurred after shipping to international destinations (VAT, duties, taxes, import fees, handling fees, etc.). and we can't refund orders that have been refused for this reason.
Being able to serve customers around the world is a priority for us. If you do not see your country on the list at checkout, just email hi@regimenlab.com and we’ll discuss options.
Most orders are fulfilled within 2 business days but can take up to 4 business days.
Once shipped, most orders should arrive within the following timelines:
Canada: 2 business days
USA: 2 business days
Europe: 3-5 business days
Global: 4-10 business days
Everyone's skin is different. Our YMMV Guarantee gives you 30 days to try our products. If the product doesn't work for you, exchange or return it without hassle for a full refund by emailing us at hi@regimenlab.com
Please note the following exceptions to our return and refund policy:
- International: For our customers outside Canada and the US, we do our best to ensure smooth border clearance, but we cannot refund shipping fees, or any duties/customs fees/import fees/taxes incurred after shipment.
- Multiple Items: We don’t accept returns of more than 3 units of the same item(s) per order (try it first before you make a bulk purchase!)
- The Kit: To enable us to provide it at an excellent value, we can't accept refunds on The Kit (The Regimen Kit), only store credit or exchanges.
- We want to make buying and using our products easy, we try our hardest to make shipping quick, easy, and risk free! Unfortunately once in a while things happen and then we have to include terms like this:
Regimen Lab maintains the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether you are entitled to a refund and if so, the amount of the refund you are eligible to receive. This means we reserve the right to refuse to provide a refund or accept your order for any reason - including, but not limited to, if we deem your order to be suspicious or fraudulent in any way.
Please contact us at hi@regimenlab.com if you have any questions!
In addition to using sustainable and recyclable materials where possible, we purchase offsets equivalent to the number of shipments we make every month.
Product
We’re glad you want to learn more! Each product page has a ton of detail about what each product does, what’s inside, and how to use it. We always strive to be transparent, providing exact percentages of ingredients, product pH ranges, sensitivity, and more important details.
If you want to geek out with us, check out the Regimen Product Guide for a deeper breakdown of what's in our products.
You can always email hi@regimenlab.com or DM us on IG with questions/comments.
Skincare products will technically work in any order, so if you’re just getting started, don’t stress about this. That said, the order in which you apply skincare products can impact their effectiveness.
For those looking to maximize their regimen, here’s what we suggest:
AM:
- Wash with water/cleanser (Tabula Rasa)
- Dry face immediately
- Apply Vitamin X and give it a moment to dry
- Dampen face with water then apply Wave Serum
- Apply C.R.E.A.M. Apply your favorite sunscreen (sorry, we don’t make one … yet)
- Have a great day!
PM:
- Wash with cleanser (Tabula Rasa)
- Dry face immediately
- Apply Level Serum
- Dampen face with water then apply Wave Serum
- Apply C.R.E.A.M.
- Get ~8 hours of sleep!
We recommend introducing products one at a time. Allow your skin to acclimate to the product before adding another product to your routine. This method also gives you a chance, in case of a breakout, to figure out which product is causing the problem.
Learn more about patch testing in our Product Guide.
Our products are vegan friendly (and 100% of our founders are vegetarian or vegan!) with one exception:
- C.R.E.A.M., like all ceramide-containing products, has cholesterol derived from the oil in sheep’s wool (it is a byproduct of wool production taken from live sheep).
We are continually seeking alternatives without compromising our objective to deliver the best performing products possible.
Our products have a shelf life of 1 year from opening. We currently recommend using Vitamin X within 6 months for best results, pending the results of our extended use testing.
First of all, we cannot and should not provide medical advice. Before using any skincare product you should consult a doctor or medical professional.
If you believe a product is breaking you out:
Some skincare ingredients can accelerate skin cell turnover, while others are capable of exfoliating the oil ducts and the hair follicle lining. This can lead to what’s known as “purging”, where previously undisturbed bacteria are forced to the surface of the skin, possibly causing the appearance of breakouts. This "purging out" is somewhat common when first using products packed with actives. Don’t fret, it goes away in a few days. If breaking out persists, you might be sensitive to an ingredient in the product. Stop using it, email us and we can help you.
No. All testing involves human volunteers (the Regimen Team are the first test subjects!) and lab-grown cell cultures.
We do not purchase from suppliers that use animal testing (this is in line with EU regulations) nor do we sell in countries (like China) whose regulations mandate animal testing.
I still have more questions
Yes.
Tabula Rasa is fully recyclable in most municipalities, and most will recycle the bottle if separated from the cap.
Because municipalities vary, we also accept recycling! To reduce shipping emissions, we ask that you send a minimum of three bottles at a time.

Although we don’t offer sample sizes for our products, we do offer samples of upcoming products to our R&D testers. Click here to learn more.
Regimen Lab formulates and manufactures our products ourselves, in our own lab. After our extensive research and prototyping phase, we work with a panel of skincare geeks and ordinary people to test our products on everything from how they feel to how they perform over time.
We’re always looking to grow this panel to improve the quality of our products. If you’re interested, apply here.
Company
We are a team of scientist-led skincare geeks making the best skincare more accessible. We’re based in Toronto, where we formulate and produce our products out of our lab. A few things that make us different:
• All our products are based on independent, peer-reviewed scientific research. While many brands say this, here’s how we prove it:
••We start with high quality research and clinical trials. We are transparent about which studies inform our product development.
••We formulate our products ourselves and we are transparent about the percentages of key ingredients in our products
••We manufacture our products ourselves.
