A lot of people search “Femoire bad review” before they buy, and that is a sensible thing to do. We sell it, so read this with that in mind — but we would rather set the expectation correctly than take an order that ends in a refund request. Here are the criticisms that actually come up, and which of them we think are fair.
“I took it and nothing happened”
Often fair — and usually a timeline problem. Skin renews on roughly a 28-day cycle. Anyone judging a skin supplement at week two is judging it before it has had a chance to do anything measurable. The honest sequence is: hydration and general calmness first (days 1–30), breakout frequency next (31–60), tone and pigmentation last and least reliably (61–90).
But there is a harder truth underneath: it genuinely does not work for everyone. If your skin issue is driven by a medical condition, a medication, a hormonal disorder or a barrier problem from over-exfoliation, an oral supplement is not the lever that fixes it. No amount of patience changes that, and we would rather say so than let you spend three months finding out.
“It’s too expensive”
Fair, depending on what you compare it to. At S$249 for a 30-day box the sticker is high. Per day it is about S$8.30, or about S$7.17 a day on the 90-day pack. Whether that is expensive depends entirely on what it is replacing — if it sits on top of a full serum-and-treatment routine, it is an added cost with no offset. Nobody should buy a skin supplement expecting it to replace sunscreen, sleep or a dermatologist.
“I broke out when I started”
Sometimes real, and often mislabelled. Some people do get a short spell of congestion in the first weeks. What we will not do is call that “detoxing” or “purging” — there is no good evidence for the purging story as it is usually told, and it is a convenient way for sellers to reframe a bad reaction as progress. If breakouts persist beyond a month or worsen, that is a reason to stop and speak to a doctor, not to push through.
“The before-and-after photos aren’t convincing”
Fair, and it applies to the whole category. Lighting, angle, camera processing and makeup move a skin photo far more than most supplements do. We do not publish transformation photos as proof for exactly that reason. If a seller’s main evidence is a dramatic side-by-side, treat the photo as marketing, not data — including when the seller is us.
“What would a dermatologist say?”
Most would say something like this: an oral supplement can be a reasonable adjunct for general skin health, it is not a treatment for acne, melasma, rosacea or any diagnosed condition, and it should not delay proper care for one. That is our position too. Femoire is a food-class supplement built on plant actives — it is not a medicine and cannot treat skin disease. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, see a dermatologist; if you are on prescription skin medication, ask them before adding anything oral.
What the product honestly is
Femoire Day & Night is a plant-based oral supplement from Wellous, split across the skin’s day and night cycle: two berry chewables in the morning for antioxidant and oil-balance support, one sachet at night built on Rose Placenta® — which, despite the name, is plant-derived, from the rose’s placental tissue, not animal placenta. Seven clinically studied plant actives in total. Full breakdown in our Femoire review for Singapore and the effectiveness question in Does Femoire work?
How to buy so a bad experience costs you nothing
If you do try it, buy where the guarantee is real. Official-store orders carry a 90-day money-back guarantee — which is deliberately the length of the three skin cycles the product needs, so the trial period and the refund window are the same thing. Every box has a scannable QR authenticity code; marketplace resellers carry neither the guarantee nor verification. Prices and packs are on the official Femoire Singapore page, and the authenticity question is covered in Is Femoire legit?
