Hims & Hers
reviews and complaints

Him's is a *** company that will steal your money! I was using the product and everything seemed fine until I get a message saying I need to do a second online doctor visit. Up until this point They were sending 30 day supply at a time. But then they charged my account 456.00 without my knowledge. I figured it was just a mistake and since I called customer service literally ten minutes after They changed my account it would be fixed but no. After the first guy said he would try but they are having trouble contacting their shipping department (at 9 am on a Monday.) And if the product ships they can't refund. After two hours of no reply the second operater told me they stopped the shipment but then the phone disconnected. The third person assured me that they were doing everything they can. Now it's the next day and I can see the product shipped. They just stole 446.00 from me during a pandemic. I told them I'm on furlough the third guy sounded like he was laughing. Do not trust Hims! P.S. I see that Hims often replies to say they fixed the problem. I will definitely update if they fix this.

AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE! -- The pricing you hear about on the radio is misleading. Unless you're only planning on having having sex a couple times a month, the actual price is closer to double what they advertise. -- They prescribe a very low dose that probably wont work for most men, and instruct you to try it a few times before expecting it to work (read - use up that limited supply so that you increase the order next month) -- The quality of their product is suspect. I switched to a prescription from my doctor and had immediate results. I then tried the equivalent dose of theirs (5 pills) and had no results -- They practice deceptive marketing tactics. I originally declined after their pricing turned out to be different from advertised, but they convinced me to try it for one month. What they didn't say was that they were also signing me up for a revolving order at the same time. -- They don't have an option to cancel on their website, only pause from month to month (you have to email them in order to cancel) The bottom line is that it is easier, safer and a lot more reliable to just get this prescription from your PCP.

I'm giving *** a 1 Star because of their SCAMY tactics to make you pay the maximum for your subscription.What they did was ask me after my trail order is if I want to continue and what my preference is on how I want to be charged. I chose the $20 a month or bi-monthly and then the next day my assigned doctor decides he wants to subscribe the skin care meds for a whole year, not telling me there will be a $240 charge because this is what the doctor wants for me. When I found out about this inflated and unauthorized charge, I called their customer service department and they told me I couldn't cancel unless I got approval through the doctor assigned to me. I called my credit card company at this point and disputed this charge and had them block any further charges and then I contacted *** again via e-mail, through their website, which is not easy to navigate to find the cancel section and I explained why I want this subscription cancelled if they will override my choice to be charged what I requested and then supposedly go to the doctor and have them chose for me to pay for a yearly subscription all at once. They also will only send you the skin care meds to you every 2 months. Please don't allow subscription businesses like this bully you into paying them for services you did not chose to pay for.

I reviewed the company's site on Saturday October 3rd and proceeded with the process of ordering. Within a couple hours of doing so I realized that this was not something that I should be doing and tried to cancel the order but there is nothing on the website to allow a customer to do that, that I could find. I immediately sent an email to the customer service team stating that I wanted to cancel the order. As of Monday October 5th, I had not received a response to my email but instead received notice that my order was being filled. I called the customer service line four times that day and each time I was on hold for twenty minutes and then disconnected every time even though the original message said that the average hold time was 10 or 11 minutes. Today, Tuesday October 6th, as of 9:45 AM I still have not received a response to my email sent on October 3rd so I have called another four times so far and, again, each time held for 20 minutes and then disconnected. I'm currently sitting on my 5th call and still holding. While doing this I also took their advice and reached out on Facebook and Instagram. Both of those medias replied within half an hour with information which I responded to and then no more communications. It's like a black hole, things go in but nothing seems to come back out. This is truly the worst customer service I've ever seen and certainly would make any customer question the validity of this company. From the other complaints I've seen her I'm sure they are going to say my order is now shipped and there's nothing they can do even though I reached out within a couple of hours to cancel the order but because of the poor management of their customer service team no one has responded. It feels like they do this delay tactic so that they can say the order has been shipped and then refuse the refund. This may not be a scam but I do not see how it is legal when the customer has tried very venue of contact that their company has suggested and still had no real interaction but they sure charged my credit card immediately. BUYER BEWARE! Actually, BUYER RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

I signed up ForHers when I needed a refill on my anti-depressants and I am in between PCCs. I thought it would be an easy but legit way to get my medication refill. I should have read the articles about how scammy this business is and how they literally use IG models to promote a heart drug to be used off-label for anxiety. Nevermind that the drug actually causes suicidal thoughts and should never be used for "anxiety". But here's my experience below, (trigger warning to those who have experienced mental health provider abuse in the past. )Red Flag 1: The first thing I had to do was complete a hair type quiz. Which felt pretty disorienting when I am looking for mental health services and don't really have any hair on my head to style. But whatever, i needed the meds. I eventually clicked around to the mental health page. Another quiz, but regarding my mental health. I was very honest and gave all my personal mental health and physical health history. Red Flag 2: you are allowed to select the medications you want. Yes, even if you've never taken them before, you can pick whichever one you think you want before you even meet with a doctor. There is a list of several psychiatric medications and you can select it like a shade of lipstick at Sephora. I selected the medication I am currently taking and then went to choose an appointment. Red Flag 3: I select my appointment for the same day. Within about 10 minutes I am contacted by text message by my "psychiatrist" to follow up some questions. He asks me my dosage and then proceeds to tell me he can offer my meds to me for much cheaper. I was surprised that I was going to be charged $85 for a "subscription" and then $60 for my meds which are normally free under my insurance. The provider explained he could give me the meds for $50 (never said how many pills) if i signed up on his Wordpress site for his bulk prescription list. He told me his business is just providing bulk prescriptions of whatever to a select list of clients, all i have to do is text him my home address and the meds i want with my credit card info and he would send them to me. That person was "***" who was representing himself as a licensed Psychiatrist for Hers. As someone who has experienced mental health provider abuse, this was just icing on the cake and I was horrified i had given up all my sensitive mental health history. I contacted customer service and they offered NOTHING. Fortunately they hadn't charged me for anything at that point but they have collected my personal info, my health history and a complete history of my mental health and my payment info and social security. WHAT THE *** how is this legal? This company needs to be SHUT DOWN. this is a massive scam that will end up harming more people who are experiencing mental illness. Mental health medication is not something you should be able to just shop for like a makeup palette. This is going to kill people if they are not stopped.

I went through the process of getting a subscription for both hair products and face products. Neither of these products are obtainable by any other pharmacies. I needed my hair product delivered early, so on 7/29 I click the button to order early. I understand global supply chains etc., but since then I have emailed three times and messaged 4 times and gotten zero responses from any human being including the doctors that prescribed the meds. No matter what kind of crazy weather or supply problems are happening around the world, you should be able to answer a customer service question. My order has still not shipped, and now after using the product for over three months and seeing some results, I have no product left to use. I either want the product shipped out now so hopefully I can keep from reversing the good results I was seeing, or all my subscriptions to be canceled. That order has been sitting there and not even been processed or shipped since 7/29. If anyone had reached out and talked to me, or given me another solution in the meantime, I may be more understanding. But you cannot run a business and go radio silence on people that you have written prescriptions too. Especially not when they cannot get that prescription from any other provider. Where else can you get prescriptions and not have a customer care team. Its dangerous. Its completely different than from when I first started, which makes me think something has happened at the company. But if they have furloughed employees etc., they need to let everyone know. Im supposed to be under the care of a doctor, and my doctor is not responding.

I filled out their questionnaire regarding antidepressant medication. I don't recall submitting my payment info, as I hadn't actually decided I wanted to do it. On 9/6/22 I was billed $123.00. I emailed immediately and requested a refund; they refused, said all info matched up, so no refund. 2 days later, I received a box of pills. I did not open the box and returned it to them UNOPENED. I again requested a refund as I did NOT want the services, had NOT used the services, and had returned their merchandise untouched. They again refused. I never used their services, did not want to use their services, and I returned their merchandise UNTOUCHED. I never spoke once to a medical provider, no one reviewed med for side effects, usage etc. This is at a very minimum unethical, and I'm pretty sure it might be illegal. I have reported them to the *** Here is the last correspondence I received from them:"We are unable to refund your account and order as your information was correct in our system, and you did complete your intake with no additional questions for our providers at that time. It is a completely legal process, and providers review carefully all the information that is submitted. If they needed any additional clarification from you, they would have asked, but it is their discretion to prescribe you based on what you had put through that form. Again, I'm truly sorry if any of this was unclear at the time you checked out. If you wish to dispute this with your bank, you are welcome to do so. As for sending the mediation back to us that does not warrant a refund as we do not have a return policy and do not accept returns do to the nature of the medication."

On 04/27/22, I started a prescription for 10 mg of Lexapro from this company for depression and anxiety. I had an initial consultation with a nurse practitioner regarding my medical history and symptoms. After one singular dose, I went into serotonin syndrome, a life threatening reaction to a buildup of serotonin in the brain, and went to the *** twice for a variety of symptoms. It is extremely rare to go into serotonin syndrome from such a low dose of this medication, especially since I was previously prescribed 20 mg for years. This very much makes me believe Hers may be erroneously dosing their pills, and I may have consumed a pill that contained much more than 10 mg. I have not contacted the nurse throughout this, since with a typical prescription, the prescription is canceled without a check in from the patient. It is very dangerous and irresponsible to continuously charge a customer for a prescription without once hearing how they are tolerating the medication. My primary concern is not the egregious amount of money Ive been charged monthly for a prescription Ive taken once, but rather that this company is continuing to send this medication out simply for the purpose of acquiring funds, without prioritizing the wellbeing of the patient like an in office medical professional would. These telehealth companies, especially this company in particular, are extremely irresponsible in caring for their patients. I atleast expect a refund for the most recent automatic shipment of the medication, as it has not yet delivered and I have no intentions of taking this medication. I would like the en route shipment dated 09/17/22 to be canceled as I have already communicated to customer support.

ForHims.com is a terrible fake business that does not care about its patients. I ordered Topical Finasteride 0.3% with 6% Minoxidil treatment and paid upfront with an automatic approval from a fake doctor. There was no discussion of possible permanent, detrimental and life-altering side effects. For one week of use, I experienced terrible side effects such as headaches, brain fog, back pain, sleep disturbances, insomnia, and several types of sexual dysfunction including impotence, low libido and other disorders. My first nurse was not aware of these extensive, multi-systemic problems. My second nurse suggested I stop the medication. I stopped, but 4 months later, I still have several problems related to my use of Finasteride. Along with continuing back pain, sleep disturbances, insomnia and sexual dysfunction, I have new symptoms related to Post Finasteride Syndrome such as muscle fatigue, weakness, joint problems in neck, back, shoulders and hips and other multi-systemic issues. ForHims.com does not care about its patients and leaves them to fend for themselves in the wake of devastating Finasteride side effects. I want them to cover all my medical expenses related to my treatments for Post Finasteride Syndrome. I want them to cover hormone testing and possible treatment to rebalance my internal chemistry. I want them to provide better warnings to customers about serious life altering side effects. I want them to stop lying about low percentages of people with serious problems from this drug. ForHims is a terrible company that should face class action lawsuits soon for failing their patients in every possible way. Unprofessional, unethical, unresponsive, uncooperative and untrustworthy starts to describe my horrifying experience with this company.

On October 4th I chatted online with someone from Hers about skin cream. I expressed that I was looking for a skin cream that would help with acne and wrinkles. I was given a "custom" skin treatment containing tretinoin, the strongest retinoid. I began my subscription and paid the full amount for the first month's delivery. I was told to use the product once per week at first and slowly work my way up. After using the product as directed for 2 weeks, I began noticing horrible side effects. My skin was red, itchy, and flaky. No matter how much moisturizer I used, my skin was so painful and dry that I could no longer wear makeup. I also began noticing large, painful, cystic acne bumps under my skin that lasted for weeks. I have never experienced this before. My skin looked and felt horrible. The customer service at Hers advised that some dryness and irritation were possible, but upon looking into the matter online, I read multiple articles stating that tretinoin causes your skin to "purge" which I was not warned about. I cut out all other skin products so as not to irritate my skin, but by November 5, my skin was worse. It looked like I was suffering a rash, and was very painful. I asked my esthetician and she said some skin cannot tolerate tretinoin as it is very strong and not for everyone. I stopped use immediately, canceled my subscription, and requested a refund from Hers but was told I had to continue using the product for 60 days before getting a refund. This is very dangerous. I don't know of any other store or company that would force you to use a product that you are allergic to/having a bad reaction to in order to get your money back. I never received another response from customer service even when I asked why I got a text saying a NEW order was being prepared and my card was charged which I did NOT authorize. I had already canceled my account at this time and did not speak to anyone about a new product or charging my card.
