Product Information

Is Rodial a luxury brand?

Yes. Rodial is a luxury, London based brand that is renowned for its premium skincare products that contain cutting edge ingredients to deliver targeted results.

Who is Mrs Rodial?

Maria Hatzistefanis is Mrs. Rodial. Maria is a London based entrepreneur, founder of Rodial and best selling author. Maria founded Rodial in 1999 after identifying a gap in the market for a results-driven brand with an edge. Rodial is now available in over 30 countries globally and features sell-out, cult products such as Banana Lowlighter and VIT C Brightening Cleansing Pads.

Is Rodial cruelty free?

Yes. The Rodial Group, together with our suppliers do not test our products or ingredients on animals. We also do not use any third parties to carry any out of those tests. Our products are available in China under the cross-border e-commerce model which allows the importation and sale of foreign cosmetic brands to Chinese consumers without premarket approvals.

Is Rodial vegan?

Most of Rodial’s products are vegan-friendly - with the exception being the following products:

- Banana Lowlighter

- Peach Lowlighter

- Bee Venom Cleansing Balm

- Bee Venom Eye Cream

- Bee Venom Moisturiser

- Bee Venom Night Gel

- Collagen Booster Drops

Are your products pregnancy safe?

Each of our products are formulated in line with the strict EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and have undergone rigorous testing including a safety assessment as required by law, carried out by a qualified safety assessor. The assessment covers the safety of the finished product, as well as the individual ingredients, how and where the product is to be used, by whom and how often. This includes use by expectant mothers during pregnancy. Dermatologists usually recommend avoiding Vitamin A during pregnancy (particularly the prescription-only versions of it), however the amount in our products is quite low and a version that is considered pregnancy safe. Nevertheless, we would suggest customers consult their GP or midwife before using any products containing Vitamin A. Below is a list of our products that contain Vitamin A:

- Bee Venom Night Gel

- Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Night Cream

- Retinol Resurfacing Pads

- Retinol Booster Drops

- Snake Oxygenating & Cleansing Bubble Sheet Masks

How do we know what your product expiration dates are?

Our products all have a period after opening (open jar symbol) printed on pack. This denotes how long you have to use the product and is written in month format. We recommend using the product within this time frame to ensure its effectiveness.

How do I know what product I should be using?

Our products are tailored to specific skin and body care concerns but if you are having trouble deciding, we have made a routine finder for you here.
If you would prefer some bespoke one-to-one advice, you can also send us an email: enquiries@rodial.co.uk

What's the difference between a serum and moisturiser?

Serums are thinner and lighter than moisturisers and have a greater variety of functions. A serum usually has smaller molecules combined with a high concentration of ingredients designed to penetrate the skin more effectively. A moisturiser on the other hand is designed to hydrate the skin and prevent water loss. We recommend using one of our serums below your moisturiser for maximum skincare benefit.

How would you recommend using your booster drops?

Our booster drops are an innovation in skincare, designed to enhance your skincare routine with a concentrated boost of ingredients. We recommend a layering technique, as they are designed to be used together, you can layer them below our serums and moisturisers for maximum benefit or mix with your favourite moisturiser. Our booster drops include collagen, retinol, glycolic, vit c and hyaluronic tan.

What is the difference between Banana and Peach Lowlighter?

Our lowlighters are colour correcting formulas designed to conceal imperfections and illuminate the skin. The banana lowlighter is blended with a yellow undertone in mind, whereas the peach is better suited to a more pink undertone. Both have the same silky non-shimmer formula and provide a soft natural-looking coverage to illuminate the complexion.

Should I use extra SPF protection when using Retinol?

We would always advise using an SPF of 20 or above to protect your skin whilst using retinol-based products. Retinol is known to cause sensitivity to sunlight, so we recommend that you use any products containing retinol overnight and not in the day.

What products should I be using for sensitive skin?

We would always recommend patch testing any products if you have sensitive skin. Our Dragon’s Blood range has been formulated with sensitive skin in mind. The products in this range are all gentle formulas which are kind to the skin whilst still delivering the desired results. The soothing properties of Dragon’s Blood is a key ingredient in this range as it helps reduce the appearance of redness and soothe the skin.

I'm having difficulty getting product out of the dispenser.

Many of our products use airless dispensers that have a technology that is more hygienic and ensures that no product is wasted. Very rarely an air bubble can become trapped and create difficulty with the product dispensing. We would recommend in this instance to give the product a good shake to dispel the air bubble and resume normal use.

I have an allergy are your products suitable for me?

We proudly disclose detailed ingredient lists on each product page, ensuring you can indulge confidently. It is important for individuals with allergies to carefully review these ingredients and consult with their health
professional before making a purchase.
