I signed up for a subscription which ships automatically. With every other company I have had a subscription with, they send you an email before it ships. Not Geologie. I noticed a charge to my bank account and immediately tried to contact them to cancel the order. Their reply was that it had already shipped and because it’s “personalized,” they don’t accept returns. I call BS. A) It’s been a week and the package hasn’t left their facility B) they have like a dozen products that are mixed and matched to “personalize” it. It’s not monogrammed, you can put that back on the shelf. Cancelled my subscription. Decent product, terrible customer service.
Edit: Geologie did reach out to me. Maybe their customer service isn’t terrible, but their decision not to remind you that you’re subscription is about to ship, is. I’m not the only one who has had this problem, it seems like an easy and reasonable fix. “Hey xxxx, your order will ship in x days, please check your subscription page if you need to delay or change this order - Geologie”
That’s all we’re asking for.

Thanks for sharing, Garrett!
We communicate subscription details transparently prior to and during checkout of a 30-day trial order. Once the trial period wraps up, our subscriptions roll over into a set of larger regimen products shipped out every three months by default. Customers are welcome to modify their shipping frequency, exact order date and regimen products at anytime during the trial period via flexible account controls if any changes are needed, though. The best way to avoid an unwanted regimen order from processing is to simply log into your account with us and make any of those above changes, or reach out to our support team for assistance if needed.
Given our commitment to quality, we're unable to accept returns on orders where there's a potential for products to be opened or used before re-stocking. We do this to ensure that all our products ship directly from us to the customer, with no possibility for tampering or degradation.
It sounds like our CSM followed up with you and was able to confirm that your order did indeed ship and its tracking info is updating on the way to you. Give him another shout if there's anything else we can help with.

Terrible Customer Service
Do not place a subscription order with them. I placed a trial order with them and it took 3 weeks to arrive, a few days after I received it, they charged my card for nearly $300 CAD. I tried to cancel the order, then I cancelled my subscription on their website and emailed customer service. Even though the order was placed at 4am and I emailed them at 9am requesting for them to cancel, they told me I couldn’t. I had to wait until I received the products, then ship them back and I had to pay for the return shipping. The representative sent me a link to cancel my subscription and I did once again to be safe, I asked him to confirm that it was over and he agreed. This was months ago and I again woke up to $222 charge on my card from them. When I emailed them again to cancel, they canceled the order no hassle but that wasn’t an option previously? They also do not have email notifications for when you are renewing orders, even though I’ve used multiple subscription services like this before and they always email you even when the charge is only $10/month. The company just seems very shady and slimy hoping that you will not notice the charge and by the time you get the products, you won’t go through the hassle of returning them. Don’t buy, there are so many better face care products for men for half the price.

Thanks for sharing, Kyle!
It looks like our records unfortunately paint a very different picture. Your initial trial order with us delivered to Canada in just 10 days. You then had over three weeks to make any additional changes to your subscription that you might have needed before a subsequent 90-day order was placed. When our team was contacted, after your next order processed, your subscription with us was still active. We passed along management instructions for you at that time with a reminder to cancel your subscription with us to prevent any additional recurring orders from processing, if you so chose. You responded with an acknowledgment, but still took no action to make changes to your subscription with us, so our team did ultimately assist with handling subscription cancellation for you to make sure you were taken care of.
We strongly encourage all our customers to take advantage of easy account login and management controls to make changes internally, and also send out cancellation confirmation emails when that action is taken. If ordering a la carte is preferred over a subscription, we're all for that. Subscriptions do provide benefits over one-time purchases, but at the end of the day, we want what's best for our customers and understand that subscriptions aren't for everyone. We're always just a live chat or email away if any help is needed to dial in a regimen or update ordering preferences.

Geologie is definitely worth it…
Geologie is definitely a brand I would 100% recommend if you are looking to take your daily skincare routine up a notch. They provide you with everything you need in 1 place and it’s tailored to your specific skin goals. They put together your skin regimen and you have the option to buy what you want based on how much money you want to spend. They are upfront with everything and use quality ingredients that truly work. If you are hesitant try their 30 day trial set which is heavily discounted at times and see for yourself!
Response from GeologieAug 9, 2022
Thanks for the shoutout, Yash! Glad to hear you've had a great experience. And if your priorities ever change, just let us know and our team can continue to modify the regimen to suit your needs. Have a good one, and don't be a stranger! Our support team is always just a live chat or email away.

Quick Service and Care
I had trouble tracking my recent order and a representative, Jovana, provided a timely response and a tracking link for my shipment. I am always pleased with Geologie's service with any issues and their skin care products continue to be the best!
Response from GeologieAug 9, 2022
Glad we could help, Samad! This made Jovana's day. Appreciate the kind words, and don't hesitate to reach back out to our support team for assistance, anytime.

Cream did what it said it would
Cream did what it said it would, skin pealed after first couple uses, laid off, once the sensitivity went jumped back on it, did it once more, hasn't since, skin feels better, looks better, i'm happy with it, also they emailed me asking for a review if i liked it, so i gave em some sass but they made me laugh, so yeah i'm happy with their service
Response from GeologieAug 9, 2022
Glad to hear you stuck with it and are seeing positive results, Steve! It can take a little time to get accustomed to the retinol in our night cream, but the way you took a little time off and then came back to it is exactly what we recommend. Keep it up with the regimen and maybe you'll get another cartwheel out of Andy 😂

Was the goal for me to feel like Geologie had been gaslighting me?
Preface: I like their product and user interface when you are starting. I wanted a semi-personalized routine because I was having recurring skin issues, and I get overwhelmed when I shop online and I have to choose among so many products. So good routine and saving time and energy.
7/15 - Unfortunately, their customer service essentially gas lit me for two weeks when I noticed an there was a shipping issue. In sum, Geologie’s(G) in house tracker was showing in transit/fulfilled, but DHL tracking never received a box from the sender (I don’t know why, and, frankly, as a paying customer, maybe I shouldn’t have to know why)
No worries though. The notification of of shipping from G said “You can track its journey anytime via the button below. Keep in mind that the tracking information can often take up to 48 hours to update with live data, depending on the carrier.” So I’ll wait.
7/19 - I waited 4 days. The status didn’t change, so I used G’s chat feature. The agent told me the game plan: “Here's what we should do: give it another few days for the tracking here to update. We'll check back in shortly and if the package still hasn't shown any sign of movement, we'll get you taken care of. All of our orders are automatically protected from loss in transit, damage, and theft at checkout, thanks to our partners at Route.”
l’m thinking this sounds like a plan. (Route is a whole other issue on this ordeal but I’m focusing on G) I do initiate a claim with Route. “Because your package is not yet in transit, kindly note that we require a 15 day waiting period before evaluating your claim. As frustrating as it can be, Route allows this grace period as retailers are working hard to get that fulfilled and shipped out to you as soon as possible!”
15 days? That seems excessive for a company that has told me my package shipped! But I’ll be a patient little customer since apparently I’ve exhausted all my options.
7/21 - DHL has not updated anything. I email G customer support.
Geologie’s solution: “Here's what we should do: give it another few days for the tracking here to update. We'll check back in shortly and if the package still hasn't shown any sign of movement, we'll get you taken care of. All of our orders are automatically protected from loss in transit, damage, and theft at checkout, thanks to our partners at Route.”
Where have I seen that before?
7/26 - 11 days. Tracking status has not changed. I chat with a customer service rep on the chat function and she sends me the DHL tracking link and starts going into “Here's what we should do: give it another few days for the tracking here to update…”
I am really starting to feel like no one is actually going to try to help on this. So I ask the rep, “have you actually looked at what DHL says the status of my shipment is in the link you just sent me?” Long pause (so presumable, no?). She then informs me that is strange and she is going to talk to the warehouse team and look into this and get back to me ( how many days later)
Meanwhile, I (not G) call DHL customer service, and they basically said that for whatever reason, they never got it, but it’s not going to be updated at this point and I need to contact the merchant.
Route closed my claim that day as well, saying that because it’s in a “pre-shipment” status it falls outside their protection policy guidelines.
Soon after, I receive an email from G. This was the entirety of it: “We're sorry to see that you are still experiencing delays with your shipment, and we would kindly ask you to just give it a few more days for the trackign to update. We'll check back with you on Sunday, and if it's still not showing any updates, we'll make sure you're taken care of.
Sounds good? Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime, and we'll be happy to help.”
I am very frustrated at this point and reply NO THAT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD. I basically had to threaten to cancel my subscription and walk away before they responded “do you want us to just order you a replacement.”
And it looks like that shipment is on the way. Win? Perhaps, but I feel stressed and angry after all this. I ran out of my trial a week ago, so I had to go buy all new stuff at cvs anyway. I’m breaking out again. Given my goal was to save time and energy and have better skin, it’s basically been a net negative.
I honestly don’t think the reps at G were bad individually. Each was pleasant and polite. But the overall team, across multiple reps, did not provide knowledgeable assistance here. The solutions they offered were clearly generic responses: either wait or file a claim with a third party. Neither requires G to put forward effort to troubleshoot the problem. Resending me the tracking link saying I can track it without actually reviewing the tracking details was a lot though given the nature of my inquiry. .. maybe I can write a good review in 3 months.

Hey Michael. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and a sincere apology from our side for all the back and forth while waiting to receive your latest order.
It sounds like our CSM stepped in to ensure the order was delivered and that you were set up with a lifetime discount moving forward with us as an apology for the inconvenience here. They also addressed this with the support team as an opportunity for learning when to take quicker initiative and be more proactive in getting our customers taken care of.
We are also addressing your concerns with our shipping and package protection partners, as we hold ourselves and those we collaborate with to the highest standard so that we can offer the best experience possible.
Don't hesitate to follow up on the thread you have with our CSM if there's anything else we can help with here.

As everyone else has said beware of a…
As everyone else has said beware of a $150 charge without warning. I received a free trial and after a few days requested to cancel my subscription, and to my surprise I see a $150 charge on my bank account. I notice the charge 1 hour after and instantly look for a way to contact them. I find a phone number, but after calling the call is answered by a bot telling me to email them. After emailing them I get a response 15 minutes later saying that they can not cancel the shipment and do not accept refunds either. Do not bother shopping with Geologie.
EDIT: After some complaining they offered me a 35% refund and I will still receive the product

Thanks for sharing this, Owen.
Unfortunately our team never received any outreach from you until late in the afternoon after your first 90-day order with us had already processed and shipped out. Once an order has shipped, we are unable to cancel it or accept a return as part of our commitment to quality and sanitary practices.
It sounds like you were aware of the subscription after receiving your trial order, correct? Did you at any point log into your account with us to double check its details or attempt to make changes to it? Doing so is now easier than ever with our updated account page, and we encourage all customers to log in and check out what all you can do there.
If you can confirm for us how you requested to cancel your subscription, that would be greatly appreciated, as we'd like to assist further here if you made any attempt within your account to cancel the subscription yourself and had issues. Again, the first contact we received from you was 30 days after your trial order was received, after your 90-day subscription order had already processed and shipped. Please feel free to let our CSM know if there are any details we're missing here via the email thread you have open.

I've found my skincare routine
Every now and then I find a brand that I know will be the last one I ever use. It happened with my Tod Snyder jeans and Frank Clegg bag. That's what's happened with Geologie.

You rock, Akhil. It's been a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to keep bringing you the skincare you love -- along with some other goodies soon enough -- for years to come. Don't hesitate to hit up our support team anytime you have questions or we can help with anything.
