Orders and delivery
How long does delivery take?
We deliver anywhere in South Africa by courier. Orders paid before noon on a working day are usually sent the same day and arrive in 2 to 4 working days in main centres.
What does delivery cost?
The fee is shown at checkout before you pay. Orders over R900 travel free, and Infinity Circle members always get free delivery.
Can I collect my order?
Yes. Choose collection at checkout and we will let you know when your order is ready at Dr Essack's rooms.
How do I pay?
The payment options are shown at checkout. Payments are encrypted; we never see or store your card details. If you pay by EFT, use your order number as the reference.
Can I return a product?
Unopened products in their sealed packaging can be returned within 14 days. For hygiene reasons we cannot take back opened skincare unless it is faulty. If a product irritates your skin, stop using it and contact us: we will help you choose an alternative.
Products and your skin
How do I know what suits my skin?
Take the skin quiz: seven questions and you get a morning and evening routine from what we stock, with the reason for each step. You can also shop by concern or skin type, and every product page lists its key ingredients in plain words.
Are the products genuine?
Yes. We stock established dermatological brands, chosen by the team behind Dr I M Essack's practice, and buy them through official South African channels.
I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. What should I avoid?
Avoid retinoids and check every new product with your doctor. Products we flag for caution show a note on their page, and the skin quiz leaves them out when you tell it you are pregnant.
Is the quiz a diagnosis?
No. It is general guidance based on your answers. Painful acne, changing moles, persistent rashes or pigmentation that doesn't respond deserve a consultation.
Infinity Rewards
How do points work?
You earn points on the amount you pay for products once your order is completed. 100 points are worth R5. Use them at checkout from 100 points, for up to 50% of your order.
What are the tiers?
Your tier depends on what you spend in twelve months: Glow when you join, Radiance from R3,000 and Infinity from R8,000. Higher tiers earn faster and get free delivery sooner.
What is the Infinity Circle?
Our yearly membership for R499: 10% off every product, free delivery, the top earn rate and private invitations to launches and masterclasses.
Do points expire?
Only if you don't order for 12 months.
The clinic
How do I book a consultation?
Send a consultation request with your preferred rooms and date, or WhatsApp us. The practice confirms the time with you.
Where does Dr Essack consult?
Netcare Rosebank Hospital; Mayo Clinic, Constantia Kloof; Johannesburg Surgical Hospital.
What do treatments cost?
Costs depend on the treatment and the area treated. Dr Essack explains your options and the cost at your consultation, before anything is done.
