Purchasing from iHerb

March 28, 2017

I was having bad breakouts when I decided that I should improve my skincare routine, therefore investing in good skincare products. I guess my breakout was caused by the treatment that was prescribed by my gynecologist; maybe my body was adjusting to the drugs at that time because my face was just doing fine before the treatment. Anyway, I was looking for affordable products with good reviews which do not contain harmful chemicals. Then I read about iHerb through this blog. It pretty much answered some questions I have about ordering from iHerb and having delivered the products to Riyadh.

I read about the reviews and the product information before deciding to finally purchase. I ordered the items below for an affordable price (inclusive of the shipping fee.) I chose DHL express since it seemed more convenient than the other options.
When the package was on the shipping process, DHL sent an email about the required documents such as the filled out form from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), copy of identification, copy of prescription (if any), and copy of invoice. DHL sent a code to download the form below.
I found out in my succeeding orders after the first one that a clearance from SFDA was not asked anymore. Maybe the clearance was only required for first-time orders, I'm not really sure. It was also easy to track the parcel through the number iHerb sent me. In case that the DHL page does not show the update or progress of the delivery after a few days, I suggest contacting iHerb about it.


Finally, after four days, I received the parcel. I checked each product and they seemed to be in perfect condition. I'll leave some reviews of the product in the website soon. So far, I love all the products I ordered. Great buys!

Aside from these products, I also ordered supplements and had no problem with clearance. Vitamins and supplements in iHerb are way cheaper than those in stores here.



If you happen or like to order from iHerb, I definitely recommend it. For first-time orders, they give discount when you use the code WELCOME5, or you can also use my rewards code JIL5716 to get a discount! ☺

  3. Thank you very much for the thorough review! Just wanted to ask if you have an idea about DHL do they ensure food supplements like probiotics..etc are kept in a cool environment while they are being shipped?

    1. Hi, I'm not sure about DHL's shipping procedure. But I have ordered vitamins in softgel form from iHerb, and they seemed fine. :)

  4. Interesting stuff guys. Now almost in all the countries of world prefer to buy products online to save time as well as the money. I also prefer digital portals for saving time instead of visiting the market. Faced with the new behavior of buyers in B2C and B2B, it is essential to know the main ingredients that will attract Internet users to click and buy on an e-commerce site.
