Product is fine and authentic. Delivery took a day longer than the slot I picked.
Second time ordering. Batch and expiry were printed clearly and matched what the site listed.
Arrived in a plain bag, nothing written on the outside. Good for something you would rather not advertise.
The product is genuine but did not suit me personally. Customer service handled the return without any argument.
No issues with the item itself. I would have liked a cold pack for the summer heat.
