Last Updated: January 6, 2025 Returns Policy Sephora.ca Purchases Sephora.ca Return Procedures Gift Returns Sephora In-store Purchases U.S. Returns
For in-store and Sephora.com purchases of merchandise made on or after Friday November 1, 2024 through and including Sunday, December 1, 2024 that are returned or exchanged on or before Friday January 31, 2025, we offer an extended period for in-store exchanges, store credit in the form of a Sephora merchandise credit for returns made in-store, or online credit for returns made by mail initiated on Sephora.ca. Merchandise credits can only be used at Sephora Canada stores and not on Sephora.ca. Online credits can be used at Sephora.com but are not valid for use in Sephora Canada stores. Any purchases made after Sunday December 1, 2024 will follow our normal Return Policy guidelines. All other terms of our Return Policy continue to apply.
If you are not completely satisfied with a Sephora purchase or gift for any reason, Sephora welcomes you to return new or gently used products for a full refund to your original method of payment if returned within 30 days of purchase, in most cases. Returns that are made from 31-60 days after purchase are eligible for online credit (if returned to us by mail) or store credit (if returned in-store). In order to complete the return, you must have a proof of purchase.
Please review our return, refund, and exchange policies below for purchases made on Sephora.ca purchases, purchases of Sephora items on third-party digital marketplaces, purchases made in Sephora stores and in-store purchases., and purchases made on third party on-demand delivery marketplaces such Instacart and DoorDash. Products must be returned in new or gently used condition. Sephora monitors return activity by customers for abuse, and if we detect what we consider to be excessive or potentially fraudulent return activity from a customer, that customer may be notified in writing that Sephora will no longer accept any returns from that customer, with or without a receipt.
All returns are subject to validation and approval at Sephora’s discretion. If a return is not approved by Sephora for any reason, the item may not be returned to you. Beauty Insider points associated with all refunds will be removed when the refund transaction is processed.
New or gently used Sephora.ca purchases can be easily returned for FREE (no return shipping or handling fees) to any of our Sephora Canada locations or by mail if you use our pre-paid return shipping label (follow the return procedures described below). We regret that we are unable to refund your original shipping charges, if applicable, unless the return was a result of our error.
Please allow 30 days for your return to be processed if sent by mail. You will receive an email confirmation once your return has been processed. Your financial institution may take longer to reflect the transaction.
