Our verdict
IPSY suits shoppers who want a monthly box at a modest entry price rather than a single long course of supplements. The plan starts at $15, covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress, and is run by Personalized Beauty Discovery, Inc. in the United States, with money back cover at 0 days.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of the IPSY plan, $15, keeps the opening commitment small for anyone testing a box.
- A serving of the IPSY plan costs $3, so daily use stays affordable for a subscriber who keeps the contents.
- The catalogue spans multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress, so daily vitamins can sit in the same delivery as sleep and stress lines.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, which suits readers who would rather put a question in writing than wait on a call.
Cons
- Money back cover is 0 days, so there is no window in which a box can be sent back for a refund.
- Per serving cost of the IPSY plan, $3, ranks 110 of 121, so the daily figure gives away less than the entry price does.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, with no phone or live chat route for anyone who needs a person on the line.
- The range holds multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress, a narrower list than the catalogue DocMorris carries.
Who it suits
- Subscribers in US and CA who want a monthly box at a modest entry price and choose their own products.
- Readers set on daily vitamins who also want a sleep and stress option in the same delivery.
- Shoppers comfortable with a monthly charge, given that money back cover is 0 days.
Who should look elsewhere
- TestRX buyers, who want the choice held to vitamins minerals rather than a curated mixed box.
- DocMorris shoppers, who want the wider catalogue of multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- ProSolution Plus shoppers, who want a single category, vitamins minerals, without a monthly box.
Where it sits among rivals
Price at entry is the figure that flatters IPSY. With the plan quoted from $15, the brand ranks 27 of 157 on price from, which sits toward the front of a crowded field. The per serving picture is less flattering, sitting at 110 of 121. Readers comparing those figures should treat them as answers to separate questions: the entry price covers the cost of opening a subscription, and the per serving price covers the cost of taking the products inside it. Boxes built on a monthly cycle are shaped to look reasonable at the start, so the daily figure is the more honest test of value.
Pricing
The IPSY monthly plan is quoted at $15. The plan carries a single monthly figure rather than a launch rate and a later renewal rate, so $15 is both what a subscriber commits to when the plan opens and what the box costs each month it continues. Broken into servings, the same plan works out at $3 per serving, and that is the line that grows with a subscriber who keeps everything. Buyers weighing entry cost against running cost should read the figures as different questions: $15 answers how easy it is to start, and $3 answers what a month of use adds up to.
Who runs it
IPSY trades as Personalized Beauty Discovery, Inc., a company headquartered in the United States. Support runs on email, help centre and community, a written and self-service set of routes: email for a delivery or product question, a help centre for the policy detail, and a community space for what other subscribers have already raised. Questions needing a person on the phone or a clinician's view sit outside that set, so a subscriber is better served putting a specific question in writing than expecting a live reply. For readers who want to know which company stands behind the monthly charge, the legal name and the headquarters country are the useful pair, and both point to a US operation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an IPSY box cost?+
The IPSY plan lists at $15 a month, and that is the figure to budget against rather than a launch discount. Worked out per serving, the box comes to $3, which is the number that matters for anyone planning to keep most of the items. A subscriber who drops part of the box still pays $15 for the month.
What if the box is wrong or unwanted?+
Money back cover on IPSY runs for 0 days, so there is no window in which a box can go back for a refund. That puts the decision before the delivery rather than after it. Anyone unsure about a formula should read multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress first and settle the plan on that basis, because the commitment is the monthly charge itself.
What types of supplements can I get?+
The catalogue covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress. Daily vitamins sit alongside sleep and stress formulas, and the personalised line is part of the range rather than something bolted on. Shoppers after a specific type such as omega-3 or probiotics will not find it in that list, which is where DocMorris, carrying multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, has the wider shelf.
Which countries can order an IPSY box?+
The operation is headquartered in the United States and serves US and CA, so both markets use the same plan and the same $15 figure. Anyone outside those markets will not find a local price or a delivery option, and a UK or European reader should start with a brand that serves that market.
How do I reach IPSY support?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. Email is the direct route for a delivery or product question, the help centre holds the policy detail, and the community space shows what other subscribers have already asked. There is no phone or live chat route, so a question raised in writing is the practical way to keep a record of the answer.
How does IPSY rank on price against other brands?+
On the price a plan starts at, IPSY sits at 27 of 157, which is close to the front of the field. Per serving the picture flattens to 110 of 121. The box is a good deal to open and a middling one to keep, so readers who want a cheap daily dose should weigh the serving cost first.
Is IPSY a health service or a product subscription?+
It is a product subscription run by Personalized Beauty Discovery, Inc., a company based in the United States. The service delivers chosen products from multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress on a monthly cycle rather than a consultation led plan, so nobody there assesses a case before the box ships. Buyers who want a plan shaped around a diagnosis rather than a taste profile are served better elsewhere.
Does IPSY offer personalised formulas?+
Personalised products are part of the range, listed in multivitamins, vitamins minerals and sleep stress alongside multivitamins, vitamins and minerals, and sleep and stress lines. Personalised formats remain a small share of the wider market at 2.9%, so a reader who treats that as the main draw may find a narrower selection than the category suggests.
