Product Q&A

What's in Terrasil?
Terrasil is made with our proprietary blends of Activated Minerals, Therapeutic Plant Extracts and Medicinal Moisturizers. All ingredients were derived from natural sources and have not been altered. Terrasil is free from chemicals, parabens, scent and artificial ingredients.

How long does it take to see noticeable improvement?
Terrasil begins reducing inflammation and irritation after the first application. Terrasil is guaranteed to make common boils noticeably smaller and softer within 2 days. Continued application (for up to a week) will speed skin regeneration and reduce the risk of scarring. There are no side effects associated with applying Terrasil more frequently or longer than suggested.

What is the difference between Terrasil & Terrasil MAX?

Terrasil MAX is formulated specifically for extreme or stubborn boils and has a maximum concentration of active ingredients, as compared with regular-strength Terrasil.

 

Is Terrasil safe?
Terrasil has undergone extensive testing to determine its safety for human use and its effectiveness at killing bacteria.
Terrasil has NO reported side effects, so it can be used safely with confidence.
It contains no chemicals, parabens, steroids or artificial ingredients. Bacteria cannot develop resistance to Terrasil, so it will work every time you need it.


Are there any precautions that I need to be aware of?

  • Terrasil may stain fabric, particularly light-colored fabrics. If you cannot cover Terrasil with a bandage after application, allow Terrasil to absorb into the skin before covering the affected area with clothing, bedding or towels.

  • Direct sunlight immediately after application on exposed areas of the skin may cause cream to darken.

  • Discoloration is not harmful and can be washed off with mild soap and water.

  • Do not ingest Terrasil.

  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Do not use on breasts if you are nursing or pregnant.

  • Do not use Terrasil if you are allergic to silver.

Does this really work?
Thousands of patients and doctors worldwide have confirmed Terrasil’s effectiveness; many have shared personal success stories and gratitude. In spite of our money-back-guarantee, less than 1% of customers request a refund.

Applying Terrasil

How do I apply Terrasil?
Wash the affected area and dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Take a small amount of Terrasil from jar and rub on the boil, as well as surrounding few inches of skin, 2-3 times per day. Cover with a bandage.
Remember to wash your hands before and after touching the affected area to prevent spreading bacteria to surrounding skin.
 

How do I know if I am allergic to Terrasil?
Allergies to Terrasil are extremely rare; within a five-year-period, only a few customers worldwide have reported a reaction. Yet, if you are prone to allergic reactions, you cannot be too careful. Among the reported allergic reactions, the most common allergen is our patented Activated Minerals. How can you tell if you are allergic to our minerals? If you can wear silver jewelry without developing a rash, you will not have a problem with Terrasil. Other ingredients (Palmarosa oil, Jojoba oil and beeswax) have even rarer allergenic effects. Of course, as with any topical product, if any discomfort, itching, or irritation persists, stop using Terrasil and consult a physician. 

Can I use Terrasil if I am pregnant or nursing?
There have been no documented reports of adverse effects using Terrasil. We believe that it is safe, but just to be absolutely secure, we do not recommend Terrasil for nursing mothers, women who are pregnant or those trying to conceive.

Ordering & Payments

Why do I have to leave this site to buy Terrasil?
When you click BUY NOW, you will be redirected to Aidance Skincare, the manufacturers of Terrasil. Unfortunately, our site is not equipped to handle web transactions at this time.

What method of payment or credit card types do you take?
Currently we accept Master Card, Visa and Discover cards. We also offer PayPal. American Express orders are processed through PayPal. Customers outside the US can place orders online using a major credit card. Your credit card statement will show a charge from “Aidance Skincare”

Why is my credit card being denied?
If your transaction is denied, please be sure you are entering the correct street address and zip code into the “Bill To” address fields during your checkout. This information must match the information that your credit card company currently has on file for you. Also confirm that you are entering the correct credit card number and security code in the payment fields. For your protection, if this information does not match, Aidance Skincare will cancel the transaction. If you are confident that this information is correct but are still are having problems, try contacting your bank to make sure you have not exceeded your spending limit. Do not attempt an excessive number of transactions if the first and second attempts do not go through. Call Aidance Skincare customer care for assistance at 1-877-4AIDANCE (877-424-3262.) Calls from outside the United States can reach our customer service line by dialing 1-781-989-9586. You can also send an email to customerservice@aidanceskincare.com.

Why is my debit card being denied?
If you experience problems completing your transaction, do not attempt more than two (2) transactions. Double-check that you are entering your billing address, debit card number and security code correctly. Even if our checkout screen states that your transaction has not gone through completely, our system has already made an inquiry to your bank and reserved the funds for the transaction. When you read that the transaction was incomplete, this means that the transaction charge was invalidated. Unfortunately, this may mean that your card's financial institution reserves the transaction amount in your fund for up to 72 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. They will become available to you again within three days.

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 void 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 72 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 72 hours, contact Aidance Skincare immediately at 1-877-4AIDANCE (877-424-3262.) Calls from outside the United States can reach our customer service line by dialing 1-781-989-9586. We can work with your bank to prove that 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 receive payments immediately after you place your order. Since our commitment is to fill your order within 24 hours (on business days), unless otherwise noted, this delay between transaction and product delivery 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.

Note: To protect our customers, Aidance Skincare retains the right to verify payment information prior to shipping large orders.

How do I track my order?
If you provided an email address at the time of checkout, a tracking number will be sent to you when the order is shipped. Unfortunately, international air letter post does not include a tracking feature. You may use the Customs Declaration number provided in your confirmation email to check with your local post office and customs office. If have not received a shipping confirmation within 2 business days of when you placed the order, email customer service (customerservice@aidanceskincare.com) and we will assist you in tracking your order.

For USPS (U.S. Mail) tracking, visit www.USPS.com and click on "Track & Confirm"
For FedEx tracking, visit www.FedEx.com

Can you ship to U.S. Armed Services bases?
FedEx does not deliver to APO/FPO addresses. Aidance Skincare ships to U.S. Armed Services bases but only through USPS. 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. Enter either "APO" or "FPO" in the City field. Enter "AA" (Armed Forces America), "AE" (Armed Forces Europe), or "AP" (Armed Forces Pacific) in the Province field (instead of State.) In this case, you must enter “United States” in the Country field.
You must also enter your zip code.

Note: 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.

Can FedEx deliver to my Post Office Box (POB)?
No. FedEx can only deliver to physical addresses. FedEx requires you to list a street name and building/house number.

I entered the wrong shipping address. Can you change it?
If your order has not already shipped, your shipping address information can be changed. To change an incorrect shipping address, email customer service (customerservice@aidanceskincare.com) with your order information, name and address correction. If the shipping address you entered is different from your billing address, you will need to speak to Customer Service over the phone to confirm the authenticity of the change. This is for your protection. If your order has already shipped, the order will need to be returned and then re-shipped.

How is this packaged for shipping? Is it discreet?
The only identifying information on the outside package is the company name “Aidance Skincare ” on the address label. There are absolutely no markings indicating sensitive personal use. 

I am outside the U.S. Are there import or customs issues?
Customs offices very rarely refuse our shipments. We do our best to meet general documentation requirements. However, it is possible that certain countries might require additional documentation from you. Such a document 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 who 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 Checkout page.
