Is Revision Skincare Cruelty-Free?
☠️ Revision Skincare is NOT cruelty-free in 2023. Revision Skincare allows its products to be tested on animals when required by law.
Revision Skincare’s Animal Testing Policy
When asking, does Revision Skincare test on animals? We must look beyond to ensure none of Revision Skincare’s ingredients or suppliers test on animals. And they don’t sell in any country or under conditions that may require animal testing by law.
To assess whether brands are cruelty-free, I always start with the company’s official animal testing policy on their website.
On Revision Skincare’s website, they claim they do not test on animals unless required by law.
See below for a screenshot of what’s currently stated on Revision’s website:

Based on their statement, Revision Skincare admits it makes an exception to allow its products to be tested on animals if specifically required by law.
Truly cruelty-free brands will never allow their products or ingredients to be tested on animals. Cruelty-free companies have a policy where if the law requires them to test on animals then they will refuse to sell their products under those conditions.
For example, some imported cosmetics sold in stores in mainland China are required by Chinese laws to be tested on animals upon registration. Therefore, truly cruelty-free brands have chosen not to sell in China in order to remain committed to their no animal testing policy.
Unfortunately, Revision Skincare state they will allow their products and ingredients to be tested on animals if the law requires it. For those reasons, Revision Skincare is NOT cruelty-free.

Cruelty-Free Policies
At ethical elephant, we always assess a company’s cruelty-free policy using our Cruelty-Free Checklist. This ensures no animal testing was performed by the brand itself, its suppliers, or by any third parties, including when required by law.
See below for our complete cruelty-free checklist. Since Revision Skincare allows its products to be tested on animals when required by law, we cannot classify the brand as being cruelty-free.

Is Revision Skincare Certified Cruelty-Free?
Revision Skincare is not certified cruelty-free by any third-party cruelty-free certifications like Leaping Bunny or PETA.
Since Revision Skincare is not certified cruelty-free by a third party, no one is substantiating or auditing Revision Skincare’s cruelty-free commitments and claims.
Does Revision Skincare Test on Animals?
To wrap up, Revision Skincare allows its products to be tested on animals when required by law. Therefore, we would NOT consider Revision Skincare to be a cruelty-free brand.
Currently, Revision Skincare is on our List of Brands to Avoid – Animal Tested.
Is Revision Skincare Vegan?
❌ Revision Skincare is NOT vegan. Revision Skincare does not claim or market itself to offer any vegan-friendly options. And since Revision Skincare engages in animal testing in some capacity, we wouldn’t consider any Revision Skincare products vegan anyways.
In order for products to be considered vegan by ethical elephant’s standards, the products and their ingredients must not be tested on animals anywhere in the world. Also, they must not contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
