A woman who claimed Nerium's flagship skincare product left her with chemical burns has settled her lawsuit against the company, court records show.

Christina Swiatek sued Nerium International and Nerium Skincare in early 2017, alleging that Nerium AD caused "chemical burns, irritation and permanent skin damage" to her skin. She'd already reached a settlement with Nerium Skincare, but Nerium International held out—until now.

On April 3rd, Nerium International filed a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice, agreeing to voluntarily end the case. Swiatek accepted the dismissal the same day. The filing contains no details about what Nerium International agreed to pay or what terms were reached.

The company's original defense was blunt: Swiatek, they argued, had simply assumed the risks that came with using their product. That argument apparently didn't hold up in settlement negotiations.

The secrecy around the settlement terms is typical. Both sides agreed to end the litigation, but neither disclosed how much money, if any, changed hands or what other concessions were made. Court records show only that both parties, through their lawyers, stipulated the action would be dismissed with prejudice—meaning Swiatek cannot refile the same claims against Nerium International later.
