Sephora offers a flexible 30-day return window for most products, whether purchased online or in-store, even if they have been opened or gently used. Items must be returned with proof of purchase, such as a receipt, order number, or account lookup. While Sephora does not explicitly state that the original box is required for returns, they do recommend packaging items in the manufacturer's product box and Sephora packaging, if available. Otherwise, items should be packed in a well-padded envelope or box to prevent damage during transit. It's worth noting that some Sephora locations, such as Sephora at Kohl's and Sephora Inside JCPenney, may have slightly different return policies, so it's always a good idea to double-check the specific return guidelines for the location where you made your purchase.

What You'll Learn
Sephora's 30-day return window
Sephora's return policy is designed to be flexible and convenient, accommodating returns of both new and gently used products. Sephora accepts returns of gently used beauty products, unlike many other retailers. This policy reflects the company's understanding that not all beauty products meet customer expectations once tried at home.
To return an item to Sephora, you must have a proof of purchase, such as a receipt or order number. Returns without a receipt but found within Sephora's system will be processed according to their refund and exchange policy. Sephora also accepts returns of items purchased through a Sephora Beauty Insider account, as the store can look up the purchase to facilitate the return process.
For items purchased on Sephora.com, returns may not be made by mail or in-store after 30 days from the purchase date. Items returned must be in new or gently used condition and have the original packing slip. Returns are processed within 30 days, and your account will be credited or an online store credit will be issued.
For exchanges, Sephora does not offer exchanges by mail for purchases on Sephora.com or items bought on third-party marketplaces. However, they do offer exchanges for new or gently used products in their store locations within 30 days of purchase.

Proof of purchase required
Sephora requires proof of purchase for all returns and exchanges. This can be in the form of a receipt, order number, or account lookup. If you are unable to provide a receipt, your purchase may still be eligible for return or exchange if it can be verified within Sephora's system.
Sephora offers a 30-day return window for most products, whether purchased online or in-store. If you return an item within this window, you will receive a full refund to your original form of payment. After 30 days, you can still return items for store credit or online credit for up to 60 days. Holiday purchases may qualify for an extended return window, so be sure to check Sephora's seasonal policies if you are returning a gift.
To initiate a return, you can use the prepaid return label provided by Sephora. No packing slip is needed if you use this label. Simply package your item in the manufacturer's product box and Sephora packaging, if available, or a well-padded envelope or box to prevent damage in transit. You can then drop off the package at a specified FedEx location and track your return online.
It's important to note that Sephora will not accept returns for items that are not in new or gently used condition, without a Sephora original packing slip, or not purchased at Sephora. Additionally, Sephora does not offer exchanges by mail for purchases made on Sephora.com or on third-party marketplaces. However, you can exchange your new or gently used product in a Sephora store location within 30 days of purchase.
