Poor value

What started as a good price has not only incresed substantially, but also the dosage required is now 5 from 4 to obtain same dosage.
It is now no cheaper than many others which constantly come highly recommended in independent reviews.

This serum is packed with potent ingredients, and it visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The formula is silky smooth and absorbs rapidly, making it easy to layer with other products.

Live help

I called 3 times to adjust my dogs collars GPS. All of the people I spoke with were kind and understanding. They knew what to do. They took the time and walked me thru the steps twice since I have 2 collars. I love that I can call and talk to a live person to get the help I need. Tiffany was very understanding today on my frustration, but worked with me to get it fixed.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Didn't receive my order which cost almost £80! Treated extremely shabbily especially as a vulnerable person. Would give a zero star rating if it was available also terrible service today

Do not use the company they kept sending me emails to subscribe , it didn't. Now they have subscribed for me WITHOUT MY CONSENT. they have started send their product to me without me ordering it. I'm sure that is illegal as I didn't give consent. Rob Dogs please do not use.
Now they have said I accidentally signed for a subscription. Check you accounts to ensure they are not taking money of you illegally.

This cosmetics store's cushion has revolutionized my makeup routine. The comfort, coverage, and flawless finish it provides make it an essential product in my collection. I highly recommend this cushion to anyone in search of a reliable and high-performing makeup base.

I so ABSOLUTELY endorse these collagen capsules

The Pure Collagen Capsules (2500mg) (90 day subscription, 3 packs) are such good value with the saving you get. I so ABSOLUTELY endorse these collagen capsules and my skin, hair and nails are benefitting by looking and feeling so healthy as I enter my forties. I can't stop now and hope to be saying this again in 10 years time. Would my skin, hair and nails remain so healthy if I stopped the capsules? I don't want to take the chance!

After seeing an advert and reading some reviews, I was excited to try the eye lift. However, I must say it’s made my eyes worse! After the tightness, the under eye area was hurting and really sore. I’m going to stop using it straightaway! :-(

If I could give minus 100 if I could

If I could give -100 I would. This is considered to be a premium product and I would expect the delivery and the customer service to match they sure don’t.
I ordered on the 23rd of November. It is now fifth of December and I still haven’t received my order. All they keep trying to fob me off with is Royal mail strike. I asked them if they could cancel the product they said no I asked them if they could send out another product, they said no I have to wait until I receive this item I even went to James the CEO of the company, and he just said he would get somebody to look into it. I have now been told that they are getting Royal mail to look into where the packages which could be another few days and maybe at the end of it I might get another product sent out this cost 79.99 which to me is a lot of money, I am honestly shocked disgusted, frustrated, and I’ve had to have another outlay to purchase the product elsewhere so that I can continue with what I’ve been taking. I have been offered no compensation. They seem to have a couldn’t care less attitude I would advise don’t purchase try a different company for collagen.
Update spoke with CEO via message he wouldn’t even discuss their shortfall in customer service.

Unexpected added Bulking Agent!

Purchased collagen capsules 2500mg on their website, good price with subscription. I had previously used the same product but had purchased from a different supplier, Ideal World. Excellent results after taking for about 3 months, plumper skin and better nails. My only query was the added ingredient in the capsules, (Bulking Agent, rice flour), which I received from the protocol website. The pouches I received had a sticky label placed over the original ingredients list with the updated Bulking Agent added. Why has this been added to a capsule that has always been ‘pure’ collagen. This was not listed on their website and is misleading for those who wish not to consume bulking agents. I contacted protocol on two occasions by email and telephone and was told someone would ring or email me, this has not happened. Based on this experience, nil poi, for customer queries.

Terrible eye lift cream

Bought the eye lift cream only to find it dried like egg white on my face I had a beautician watch the video as I thought I was using it the wrong way, but the same happened when she applied it. I sent emails to the company requesting a refund for both the opened one and one I had not opened but got no reply. I have returned both items today by registered post hopefully I will get my refund it’s just a shame no one from the company replied to my emails

After placing my order

After placing my order, I then requested a reduction in the quantities I had ordered within an hour of placing the order. I received an email the following day to say "that unfortunately the order could not be altered and if required I could return the additional products I did not require" at my cost. This was 30 hours before the order was even dispatched for post, why the order could not have been changed before posting is strange in my opinion.

Reply from Proto-col

According to our records you placed your order on 20/12/2021 at 00:10. The order was shipped at 08:11 the same day, so we’re uncertain as to how you arrived at the conclusion that 30 hours had passed between placing the order and it being shipped.

Unfortunately once an order has been shipped we are only able to offer a no-cost return in the event that the order arrives damaged, which is not what occurred in this case.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused, however we do not believe we were at fault, particularly as the claim of 30 hours having elapsed between order and dispatch is provably inaccurate.
