Virena Coupons & Promo Codes

“Virena” primarily refers to a new cosmetic and skincare brand from Norway.¹ They aim to provide high-quality beauty products at an affordable price, with a mission to empower women.²

There seems to be another entity named “Virena System” by QuidelOrtho, which is a wireless cloud-based system for managing de-identified patient data in healthcare.³ However, given the context of coupons for a direct-to-consumer brand, the skincare/cosmetics brand is the most likely subject. There are also mentions of “Verena,” which appears to be a different brand (coffee, sleepwear, or a nanosilver gel), but “Virena” specifically points to the Norwegian beauty brand.

What Virena (Beauty & Skincare) Offers:

Virena focuses on developing skincare and cosmetic products with formulas developed in Norway, adhering to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.⁴ Their product range includes:

• Face Moisturisers: Such as “Hydrate & Revive Face Moisturiser” and “Matte & Poreless Face Moisturiser.”⁵
• Face Masks: “Exfoliate & Glow Self-Heating Face Mask,” “Hydrate & Revive Cooling Face Mask,” and “Collagen+ Facial Sheet Mask.”⁶
• Exfoliation Products: “Exfoliate & Glow Body Scrub.”⁷
• Self-Tan Products: “PerfectTan Self-Tan Mousse” (in various shades), “PerfectTan Self-Tan Drops” (for face), and “TanEraser Self-Tan Remover.”⁸
• Applicators and Accessories: Such as self-tan mitts and brushes.⁹
• Kits and Gift Sets: Bundles of their popular products like “Combat Impurities Kit” or “Plump & Glowing Skin Kit.”¹⁰

Brand Philosophy & Features:

• Quality & Affordability: Virena aims to compete with larger brands in terms of quality while keeping prices accessible.¹¹
• Norwegian Development: Formulas are developed in Norway with EU-based cosmetic and skincare consultants.¹²
• Ethical Considerations: Their website states products are not tested on animals and are alcohol-free, laboratory-tested, and free from common allergens.¹³
• Empowering Women: They have a unique business model that allows women to become “Virena Ambassadors” by setting up their own webstores and earning commissions, without needing to buy products in advance.¹⁴

Finding Virena Coupons and Discounts:

Being a relatively newer brand, their coupon availability might be different from larger, established brands.

1. Official Virena Website (virena.no/en or virena.eu/en):

   • Homepage Promotions: Always check their website’s homepage for any current sales, seasonal discounts, or featured promotions.
   • Newsletter Sign-up: Sign up for their email newsletter. New subscribers often receive a welcome discount (e.g., a percentage off their first order) and get notified about future sales and exclusive offers.¹⁵
   • Bundles/Kits: They often offer discounted prices on product kits or bundles compared to buying individual items.
   • Ambassador Program: While not a direct coupon, becoming a “Virena Ambassador” allows individuals to earn commissions on sales, which acts as a form of saving or earning.¹⁶

2. Social Media & Influencer Collaborations:

   • Follow Virena’s official social media accounts (e.g., Instagram, Facebook). Brands often announce flash sales or provide special influencer-specific discount codes during collaborations.

3. Coupon Aggregator Websites:

   • While specific “Virena coupons” might be less common on major international coupon sites compared to very large brands, it’s worth checking sites like TenereTeam, RetailMeNot, or CouponFollow. However, searches for “Virena coupons” often bring up results for other brands like “Verena Street Coffee,” so be careful to ensure the coupon is for the correct “Virena” beauty brand.

Important Considerations for Customers in US:

If you are considering purchasing from Virena and having items shipped to Pakistan, here are the key factors:

1. International Shipping to US:

   • Virena : The FAQ section on their European site (virena.eu) indicates they ship orders from their warehouse in Froland, Norway.¹⁷
   • Shipping Costs: Standard shipping cost is listed as €4.90 for general regions (though this may be primarily for EU/Norway). For Pakistan, expect shipping costs to be higher and calculated at checkout based on the weight and destination.
   • Delivery Time: For Norway, standard shipping is 3-5 business days. For international orders to Pakistan, it would be considerably longer, likely 2-4 weeks or more, depending on the chosen courier service and customs processing.

2. Customs Duties and Taxes (Very Important!):

   • When importing cosmetics and skincare products into Pakistan, you will be liable for import duties, sales tax (GST), and potentially other regulatory duties and customs clearance fees levied by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).¹⁸
   • Virena’s website doesn’t explicitly state whether they cover international customs duties. This typically means customers are fully responsible for these charges.
   • High Charges: Cosmetics and skincare products are subject to significant duties in Pakistan.¹⁹ As of recent updates (July 2024), imported cosmetics now face a 55% regulatory duty in addition to the 18% GST (calculated on the CIF value – Cost, Insurance, Freight). This can significantly increase the total cost of your order.
   • Payment on Delivery: These charges will likely be collected by the courier company upon delivery.
   • Recommendation: It is highly advisable to contact Pakistan Customs or a local customs broker in Karachi to get an accurate estimate of these costs before placing an order. Failure to pay these charges will result in the package being returned or disposed of, with no refund from the seller for either product or original shipping cost.

3. Return and Exchange Policy for International Orders:

   • Virena’s FAQ states you can return products within 14 days of receiving the order by providing notice and returning them within 14 days of notice.²⁰ Products must be in original packaging and condition.
   • Refund: Refunds are issued within 2-14 business days after they receive the returned product.²¹
   • International Returns: However, for international orders, you would be responsible for the expensive international return shipping costs back to Norway. Any customs duties and taxes already paid to Pakistan Customs are typically non-refundable by the seller and very difficult to reclaim from Pakistani authorities.

4. Local Availability in Pakistan:

   • As a Norwegian brand, it is highly unlikely that Virena has direct physical stores or dedicated distributors in Pakistan. You would primarily rely on international online ordering. However, some independent online beauty retailers in Pakistan might occasionally stock products from niche international brands through their own import channels.

In summary, Virena offers promising skincare and cosmetic products from Norway, with a focus on quality and empowering women.²² While they ship internationally, customers in Pakistan must be fully prepared for significant international shipping costs and substantial customs duties and taxes upon import, which can drastically increase the final price of your purchase. Always verify the most current shipping and customs information directly with Virena and Pakistan Customs before ordering.
