Product Q&A

What's in Terrasil?
Terrasil is made with the finest all-natural ingredients including Jojoba Oil (pronounced ho-ho-ba; derived from the jojoba bean), Pure Beeswax (derived from bee hives) and our patented Activated Minerals. These natural and nurturing properties combine to form a highly effective anti-acne product.

How is Terrasil different from Terrasil Max?
Terrasil MAX is formulated specifically for persistent or stubborn acne and has a maximum concentration of active ingredients, as compared with regular-strength Terrasil.

How long does it take to see noticeable improvement?
Customer Success Stories suggest that within 1-2 days must people see relief, with a full clearing of acne outbreaks within one month. (Please note: Results May Vary broadly for users.)

Note: For individuals with extensive body area afflictions and chronic conditions, life style factors may also play a vital role. Reduce the stress on your body's systems. Rest, exercise, drink plenty of water and eat a balanced, nourishing diet. Consider seeking a nutritionist, naturopath, or other health professional. In severe cases and medical emergencies, always go to a medical doctor or hospital.

Is Terrasil safe?
Many of the ingredients in Terrasil have been used by generations for their soothing and healing properties. All are approved cosmetic ingredients and listed in international cosmetic dictionaries.

Applying Terrasil

How do I apply Terrasil?
Most of our customers apply a small amount on their fingertip then rub it gently on the affected area until the dark cream is absorbed and clear. They repeat this 2-3 times daily (more often if needed) and continue for 2 or more days. Of course, as with any topical product, if any discomfort, itching, or irritation persists or lasts for more than 7 days, stop using Terrasil and consult a physician. Do not apply Terrasil immediately before coming in contact with direct sunlight- this will cause the cream to darken. Note- discoloration is not harmful and can be washed off.

How do I know if I am allergic to Terrasil?
The most common potential allergen is our Activated Minerals. Basically, if you can wear silver jewelry without a rash breaking out on the skin, it is unlikely you will have a problem. The other all natural ingredients: Jojoba oil and beeswax have even rarer allergenic effects. Of course, as with any topical product, if any discomfort, itching, or irritation persists or lasts for more than 7 days, stop using Terrasil and consult a physician.

Can I use Terrasil if I am pregnant or nursing?
Just to be absolutely safe, Terrasil is not recommended for nursing mothers.

Ordering & Payments

What method of payment or credit card types do you take?
Currently we accept Master Card, Visa and Discover. We also offer PayPal. Customers outside the US will need to place orders online using a major credit card. On your credit card statement is will show a charge from Aidance Skincare.

Why is my debit/credit card being denied?
If your order transaction is being denied, please be sure you are entering the correct Street and Zip-code information into your Bill To address fields during your checkout. These need to match what you credit card company has on file. Alternatively, if you are confident those do match but are still are having problems, and are using a debit card, contact your bank to make sure you have not exceeded your daily spending limit. If you have a debit card and are still experiencing problems, we strongly suggest that you do not attempt an excessive number of transactions. This may cause your bank to hold funds for up to 24 hours in certain situations. See next FAQ.

My debit card was denied recently but I still see charge(s) on my bank statement.
For your protection, in the case of a lost or stolen credit/debit card, we verify that the Billing Street and Zip you entered on the Check Out page match those on file with your card's financial institution. If these do not match, we invalidate the sale transaction. Unfortunately, in the case of debit cards, this may mean that your card's financial institution (e.g. Bank) may hold funds in the amount of the attempted charge for up to 24 hours until the electronic banking network communicates that the transaction was invalidated. Rest assured - we do not receive these funds; they have not left your bank account.

In the unlikely scenario that your bank holds these funds for longer than 24 hours, contact us and we will work with you and your bank to demonstrate the sale was cancelled so that those funds are made available to you.

Why has my card been charged before I have received my order?
To keep pace with the volume of orders we receive, we need to be sure of payment when you place your order. Since our commitment is to fill your order within 24 hours (on business days), unless otherwise noted, this is very rarely an issue for customers. For U.S. customers who are uncomfortable with this policy, we accept money orders and bank checks from major national banks and institutions.

Shipping & Handling

Where's my order?
We ship all orders within 24 hours on business days (unless otherwise posted on the website). Depending on the shipping method you choose (FedEx or US Mail) and where you live, delivery times will vary.

Domestic/US Mail
  Our experience with 1st Class U.S. Mail has been 2 to 5 days within the continental United States. Consider we ship from Rhode Island when setting your expectations.
Domestic/FedEx
  For FedEx Overnight, for 95% of locales, FedEx delivers by 3pm at the latest the following business day. There are no deliveries on Saturday or Sunday. Please note that we need to receive your order by 2pm in order to assure the order is processed that day.
International/US Mail (Air Mail)
  Delivery times when shipping internationally via USPS can vary greatly depending on the destination country and its customs procedures. Shipments from the U.S. to Canada or to the U.K. can be fairly quick if not delayed in Customs. Postal strikes in destination countries can also adversely impact deliveries. The general range for this shipping method is 1 to 3 weeks.
International/FedEx
  Times here can vary based on country as well as the destination country's customs procedures. Barring any customs delays, the delivery window should be 2 to 5 days.

How do I track my order?
If your tracking # was not sent to you within 48-hours after your order was placed, email customer service (Service@aidanceskincare.com) and we will send you either the USPS tracking # or the FedEx tracking #.

Can you ship to U.S. Armed Services bases?
Yes, but only using the U.S. Mail (USPS). FedEx does not deliver to APO/FPO addresses. Military designated addresses, APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office), allow mail to be delivered to overseas military locations. APO addresses are associated with US Army or Air Force installations. FPO addresses are associated with US Navy installations and ships in the United States.

For your Shipping Address on the Check-Out page:

  • Be sure to enter your full name, grade, and PSC or unit number using the Name and Street fields
  • The City must be entered as either "APO" or "FPO"
  • The Province Field (instead of State) must be entered with either "AA" "AE" or "AP"
    - AE for Armed Forces Europe, AA for Armed Forces Americas, or AP for Armed Forces Pacific
  • You must enter your Zip code.

Each country has its own import restrictions. Some items cannot be shipped to APO/FPO addresses. You must be aware of any such restrictions for the region in which you are stationed. We have not had any issues yet with Terrasil.

Can FedEx deliver to my Post Office Box (POB)?
No. FedEx deliveries need a street or building.

I entered the wrong shipping address. Can you change it?
Email customer service (Service@aidanceskincare.com). If we have not already shipped the order we will change the address. If the shipping address is different from your billing address, we will need to speak to you over the phone to confirm the authenticity of the change. If we have already shipped the order we will need for it to be returned before re-sending.

How is this packaged for shipping? Is it discreet?
The only identifying information is that it is from us, "Aidance Skincare". There are absolutely no markings indicating sensitive personal use.

I am outside the U.S. Are there import or customs issues?
Generally speaking, we rarely experience the shipment being refused by the customs office of the destination country. We do our best to meet general documentation requirements. However, it is possible that certain countries might require additional documentation from you. Such a circumstance is your responsibility. Aidance Skincare is not responsible for product being impounded due to customs issues beyond U.S. borders. Order refunds, less Shipping and Handling, will only be given if the product is returned to Aidance Skincare. For those that have concerns about customs delays in their countries, we recommend choosing the International FedEx delivery option and making sure to provide your telephone number on the Check-Out page.
