Cosmetic Research- test free toiletries, cosmetics and skincare (merged)

daisy2002

I was just filling in a trial questionnaire & when i got to the end i saw this above the final part -

All sample have passed appropriate saftey, toxicological & dermatological assesments and have been manufactured to industry standards. The purpose of AOR trials is not to assess products for irritancy. However on rare occasions you may experience an irritantion to a sample.

I've never noticed that before, has that message always been there?

Not happy no one has contacted me about the irritation i had :rolleyes:

I am new to this board and this thread caught my eye.
The question I am about to ask has probably been asked before buth there are so many pages I couldn't read theam all.
Anyway....
I've registered and been accepted, what now? I've logged in and I have a"flashing question mark" under my status, what is it and what do I do about it, plus some posters talk of their profile and one said she had sensitive skin thats why she perhaps wasn't getting any trials, is this information to be filled in somewhere IE skin type and where/how do I do it.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,you need to profile yourself and anyone else in your family who you sign up for trials,go to my family profiles or add family member once youve profiled yourself,tick who you want to profile and press profile family member,it will take you to a wheel with different sections on like lifestyle,click on each one and fill them in,quite a long process but worth it.Then you need to wait either for an update your profile email or an invitation to a trial email when they have one that fits your profile.Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. that did help.
I didn't realise I had to "add" me i thought once I'd registered it would throw up a profile for me. iykwim

Husband has hair and bodywash trial, i finished lip cream trial today and within 2 hours offered a detox shampooo for a months trial. I really like all the product testing, but have quick query for the more experienced of you, i only ever seem to have one product at a time, so if get this hair wash, i will be offered nothing else including household products for the duration of the trial, is this normal ?

Tiggerlilly, it's not really normal I don't think, between 2 of us here were doing 5 trials right now!

I have only recently started getting more trials and have never had 2 to do together,up until this week my dp and toddler never even had a trial,toddlers got baby lotion and dp was offered mouthwash and hair and bodywash but we missed them,sometimes i have gone weeks in between trials but think now summers coming there seem to be more things to test,I suppose it depends on their remit,crossing my fingers that we all get more trials.x

Since last July I have had a total of 5 trials in TOTAL for my LO, none for anyone else in the family though! I have now contacted them to see what is going on, surely that's not right though?

That certainly doesnt sound right,they are definately missing something there,but you know I had to ask what had happened wth my account too,yet some people,good for them, seem to get quite a few trials,mine is better now,but dont think I will ever be one of those who gets loads.

Received the mouthwash this morning, not a lot in each bottle, they really are getting tight with samples.
