How do I activate the kit I purchased from a retailer?

Inside the kit you purchased from the retailer, you'll find a unique activation code which you can redeem here to get started.

After you redeem your code and activate your account, you will be able to start your skin analysis. If you have any questions about how to redeem your code, email us at support@pureculturebeauty.com. 

When will I get my custom skincare?

You'll need to activate your account and complete your skin analysis before we can customize your formulas. Here's how it works:

      1. Click here to redeem your unique code and activate your account.
      2. Test your skin at home and log your results in your account — no need to mail anything back.
      3. Once you complete your skin analysis, we'll customize your skincare and autoship the formulas you purchased as part of your kit.
Do I have to pay to ship my custom skincare?

Nope, shipping is included with your original purchase. Once you complete your skin analysis, we’ll prepare your prepaid formulas and ship them directly to you at no additional cost.

Where do I reorder my custom formulas?

To reorder your custom formulas, you can either:

  1. Purchase a new kit from a retailer and activate it here. You'll be prompted to log in and confirm whether you'd like to re-test your skin or receive a refill of the same formulas. 
  2. Or, purchase directly from your existing pureculturebeauty.com account by logging in here
If I buy a custom serum first, can I buy additional skincare later without taking another skin test?

After purchasing the custom serum and completing your skin analysis, you will receive additional formula recommendations for your skin. Your prepaid serum will ship automatically, and you will have the option to order your custom cleanser, moisturizer or other recommended formulas at any time from your account here.
