Discounts and promotions

  • Can I enter multiple discount codes?
    Unfortunately, our system only allows one discount per order, as stated in our terms and conditions. If you have another discount code that you would like to use, please feel free to use it towards a future purchase.
  • Do you offer discounts or other promotions?
    We may offer discounts and other promotions from time to time, so be sure to sign up for emails to receive notifications. Our promotions are limited time only and cannot be applied to past orders. All marked down merchandise is final sale and cannot be returned. To learn more about our product exclusions, click here.
  • I signed up for an account with my email but didn’t get a discount code.
    Once you sign up for an account on our website, you will automatically be emailed a discount code. Please be sure to check your promotions and spam folders. Be sure to check your email before you place your first order. You must enter your 10% discount code at checkout for it to apply to your order.
  • I made a purchase a few days before your sale/promotion. Can I have the current discount/promotional gift added anyway?
    Unfortunately, we are unable to apply discounts or promo codes retroactively as sales and promotions are for a limited time only. While we would love to be able to provide a discount for everyone who placed their order before a sale or promotion, we do have to set some guidelines to ensure consistency and fairness to all customers. We hope that you can understand.
  • Are gift cards included in sales, promos and discounts codes?
    Gift cards are excluded from all sales, promotions (with a qualifier) and discount codes. To learn more about our promotion exclusions, click here.
  • My order is over $35, but after entering my discount code, I now have to pay for shipping. How come?
    If your order falls below $35 after you have entered the discount code, free shipping no longer applies. Your order must be over $35 after discounts have been entered and applied. We are unable to apply another discount code to enable free shipping, as stated in our terms and conditions.

Other

  • Does Credo recycle beauty products?
    We're committed to creating a more sustainable beauty industry, and recycling is a key part of this. We’ve founded Pact, a collective not-for-profit recycling program for the beauty industry, by the beauty industry, to create a more sustainable, circular system and reduce cosmetic waste. Recycle these empty items at home in your curbside recycling program: all glass, paper/cardboard, and plastics #1, 2 and 5, when they are the size of a yogurt cup or larger. Bring these empty items to your Credo store to throw in a Pact bin: plastics #1, 2 and 5 that are small, and other "hard to recycle" packages like squeezable tubes, makeup compacts and mascara tubes, pumps, and other small packaging. 1 authorized empty item = 10 Credo Rewards Points. Up to 12 items max can be recycled per store visit. (Please note, all products must be truly empty, and we cannot accept aerosols, perfume, nail products, toothpaste tubes, pouches, plastic bags and some other things that cannot be recycled even with specialty take back programs). Click here for a full Recycling Guide.
  • Are the products you carry cruelty free?
    Yes, all the products we carry are cruelty free.
  • I have some store credit from a return I made in store. Does this transfer to online purchases?
    Yes, you can use your store credit online. Please enter the store credit number at checkout.
  • Do you offer your products on wholesale?
    No. For all wholesale inquiries we recommend that you reach out to the brand directly.
  • Do you offer samples with purchases?
    As of June 1st 2021, Credo will no longer offer single-use sampling in-store. This is the first big milestone of our Sustainable Packaging Guidelines and was found necessary when we realized the impact these small items had on the environment. Customers will be able to purchase small reusable jars made of upcycled plant fiber. These jars can be reused when you travel, or in-store to sample again when you bring back your sanitized jars.
