RejuvapenNXT has now released a statement with an update for its UK customers.
“We’re sorry to inform you that our UK distributor Skinbrands has closed and is no longer able to fulfill any RejuvapenNXT orders,” it said. “We understand this might cause some inconvenience, but we’re here to make sure you still get the products and support you need.
“We have teamed up with Youth Tech Ltd, our distributor in Ireland, to provide you with RejuvapenNXT tips as well as devices and will be announcing a new distributor shortly.”
