Common concerns, and how we handle them
About 9% of nida.co reviews of our three most-reviewed products are 1 or 2 stars. We read 179 recent ones (about 60 per product, March to November 2026) and sorted them by topic, most common first.
Delivery taking longer than expected
Orders outside the US ship by air from Korea and clear customs in your country, so they take longer than US orders. If your order seems stuck, email cs@nida.co with your order number, and we'll reply within one business day.
Not seeing results yet
Some of these reviews were written after only a few days. Our clinical tests measured results after 4 weeks, and results vary from person to person.
Skin reactions
Any skincare product can irritate some people. Try a new product on a small patch of skin first, and stop using it if your skin reacts. If that happens, email cs@nida.co and we'll help.
Slow replies from customer service
Some customers waited too long for an answer. We now reply within one business day. Include your order number when you write to cs@nida.co or use the contact form.
Damaged, missing or wrong items
Email cs@nida.co as soon as your order arrives, with your order number and a photo, and we'll look into it and make it right.
