Physician Provider Terms

Alastin Skincare is committed to providing high quality skincare products to consumers. This goal is best served by offering consumers our products through authorized physician-based accounts (Physician Providers) that resell our products to patients/consumers and provide superior service in a way that is consistent with Alastin’s business strategy.

  • Physician Providers may place orders via their designated Account Manager or Alastin Customer Service
  • For a Physician Providers, a minimum order quantity is required, typically consisting of a case of any product SKU, and a minimum dollar amount per order may also be required

    • Reselling Alastin Skincare products without the participation of a practicing physician with a valid DEA number or Medical Education number
    • Reselling Alastin Skincare products without giving customers access to a physician or skin care professional in connection with the sale, service, and support of the product
    • Reselling unboxed Alastin Skincare products
    • Advertising Alastin Skincare products in a manner that is inconsistent with the Alastin Skincare brand (i.e. this includes advertising or selling Alastin products on third-party sites, including, but not limited to: Google, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Jet)
    • Reselling Alastin Skincare products to purchasers for resale (i.e. third-party providers, sites, or wholesalers)

      Internet Sales

      As stated above, we are committed to providing high quality skincare products to consumers. This includes establishing a policy that protects consumers and Physician Providers from potentially counterfeit and/or illegally acquired products. To help facilitate these protections, our Sales Policy prohibits the promotion or sale of Alastin products on any Internet site unless our business rules are strictly adhered to. As part of this Sales Policy, Alastin:

      • Prohibits the discounting of any Alastin product below 5% of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.
      • Prohibits the sale of bundled Alastin products on a stand-alone basis (e.g. products marked “not for resale”, “trial size”, “not to be sold separately”, products with no MSRP on Alastin’s price list).
      • Prohibits the sale of unboxed Alastin products.
      • Prohibits the Internet sales of any Alastin product outside of the United States, either directly or indirectly, without prior written authorization from Alastin corporate.
      • Prohibits the advertisement or sale of Alastin products on third-party sites, including, but not limited to: Google, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Jet.

      • Requires registered website to include affiliated medical director and/or affiliated physician name and title, physical address and contact phone number for customers.

        We strongly believe that each of the sales or advertising tactics outlined above are likely to damage the investment that Alastin Skincare has made in offering high quality products that are part of a medically supervised skin care regimen managed by physicians. This list is not exhaustive, and Alastin Skincare, Inc. reserves the right to exercise independent discretion as to which accounts are authorized to buy and sell Alastin Skincare products.
