Ingredients and claims
What we'll tell you, and what we won't
Skincare can change how skin looks and feels. It can't treat a skin condition, and we won't pretend it can.
We'll always print
- ✓ The active, and its percentage, on the front of the bottle.
- ✓ The full ingredient list, in order, on every product page.
- ✓ How long a bottle lasts at the amount we suggest.
- ✓ Use-test results with the number of people and the weeks, next to the claim.
We won't say
- ✕ “Clinically proven” without the study beside it.
- ✕ Cures, heals, treats, detoxes or “reverses ageing”.
- ✕ “Chemical-free”. Water is a chemical.
- ✕ “For all skin types” when a product isn't.
Use-test results on this site are what participants said about how their skin looked or felt (self-assessment), not measurements, and like everything here they are fictional.
Subscribe and save
A delivery that fits the bottle, not the other way round
10% off every order, on top of the routine bundle. Here is exactly how it works before you commit to anything.
- 01
Choose every 4, 6 or 8 weeks
We suggest a cadence from the product that runs out first. A 30 ml serum lasts about six weeks at three drops, twice a day.
- 02
An email three days before
Each reminder lists what's in the box, the price and the date, with one-tap skip and pause.
- 03
Skip, pause or change it
Skip one box, pause with no end date, swap products or change the cadence, up to the day before it ships.
- 04
Cancel with one button
No minimum number of boxes and no phone call. The discount stops; nothing else happens.
From people using it · fictional
Said plainly, like the labels

Hydrating Serum · combination, reacts often
Maren T., Tacoma
“I like that it told me not to start retinal yet. I did it anyway a month later and it was fine.”
Quiz routine, five products · normal
Dev S., Oakland
“Skipped a box when I went travelling. Two taps from the email. That's why I stayed.”
Subscriber, every 6 weeks · oily
Ana R., Boise
Questions
Can I use Aubrell with products I already have?
Yes. Every serum works with the others, and with most moisturizers and sunscreens. The one exception: don't layer Night Retinal with strong acids on the same evening.
What if something doesn't suit me?
Stop using it and tell us within 60 days of delivery. We'll refund that product, opened or not, and suggest a gentler swap.
Are the products tested on animals?
No. Finished products are use-tested by adult volunteers who've agreed to take part; ingredients are bought from suppliers who don't test on animals.
How is the subscription price worked out?
The routine bundle comes off first (10% for three different products, 15% for four or more), then 10% for subscribing. Shipping is free over $50.
