Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering from Medicosmetic.
Absolutely. Medicosmetic is a registered, pharmacist-led store. All of our health treatments, medicines, and premium beauty products are sourced directly from verified manufacturers and regulated UK wholesalers. You are getting the exact same genuine products you would find in a high-street pharmacy or premium clinic.
While our premium skincare and General Sales List (GSL) items can be added straight to your cart, certain treatments are classed as Pharmacy-only medicines. To ensure these are safe and appropriate for you, our pharmacists require a quick, confidential online consultation before approving your order.
Yes. We understand that your health and beauty concerns are private. All orders are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging with no indication of the contents or the pharmacy name on the outside of the box.
We offer two fully tracked and secure delivery options. Standard Shipping is £4.99, and Express Shipping is £7.99. Regardless of the delivery speed, all orders are carefully packed and dispatched in plain, discreet packaging to completely protect your privacy.
For safety and hygiene reasons, and in compliance with UK pharmacy regulations, we cannot accept returns on any dispensed medicines (including Pharmacy-only treatments), even if they are unopened. However, unopened and unused beauty and skincare products can be returned within 14 days.
We don't just sell products; we provide care. If you are unsure how to layer a new skincare serum or need advice on taking a medication, our expert pharmacy team is just a message away.
