Returns and exchanges
-
What's your online return policy?
Purchases made online can be returned within 30 days of delivery. You will need your order number and the ship to zip code.
You are able to return your item for store credit, original form of payment or exchange for a different shade.
Return costs back to our warehouse in Indiana are $5. You will be provided a pre-paid label or USPS QR Code to drop off with your local mail person or Post Office.
NO EDITS OR CANCELLATIONS can be made to returns once placed. Returns from different orders cannot be combined. Should you have any issues with your return please email. Returns are processed daily. Once received you will be issued your refund or credit via email confirmation.
You will generally receive your refund within 48 hours of the return package being marked as delivered. Returns can take up to 7 business days during peak season and depending on your bank. All returns are processed back to the original method of payment unless store credit is chosen. If the payment for an order was split between an E-gift Card and another method of payment, the return will automatically go back first to the E-gift card with any remainder to the second form of payment.
All items marked as final sale cannot be returned or refunded.
To return an online purchase in store please bring your order number & the items that you are returning so our team can take care of you properly. Please allow 24-48 hours for the return to be processed. The refund will be issued to the original form of payment. You will receive an email notification letting you know your refund has been processed. -
What's your in store return policy?
Our retail locations are now accepting returns for items purchased over the phone or in store. You have 30 days to return unused products purchased in store for a full refund.
You can return products that are gently used for a store credit in the form of a gift card within 30 days of purchase.
To initiate a return that was purchased in store, please contact the store directly to help you with the return process. -
Can I exchange items purchased online?
If you would like to exchange your item(s) please use our return portal here and select the store credit option. You will receive an E Gift Card once your return has been approved. This card can be used on any purchase in the future and does not expire. Not redeemable for cash. Items that are purchased as an exchange can be returned for store credit only.
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 $50, but after entering my discount code, I now have to pay for shipping. How come?
If your order falls below $50 after you have entered the discount code, free shipping no longer applies. Your order must be over $50 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.
Orders and shipping
-
When will my order ship?
All in-stock orders are processed as quickly as possible but can take up to 48 hours to ship. If you place an order after 1pm CST on a Friday, your order will be fulfilled on that following Monday. Please keep in mind that this may change or be delayed during holidays and holiday weekends or due to inclement weather. -
Can I cancel or change my order/shipping address?
An order cannot be cancelled after it has been placed and you have confirmation. We are not able to make any exceptions. Additionally, we are not able to edit or modify orders in any way after they have been placed, including shipping address. If you made a mistake in your order, please email when you receive it and we will work out a return or other solution. -
What shipping company do you use for shipping?
Orders are shipped via DHL, FedEx or USPS depending on the quickest delivery method for your address. Once your order has shipped, you will get a confirmation email with tracking.

I am unable to locate my package.
Should your package declare a delivery confirmation but you are unable to locate it please email us immediately and we will be able to assist you. Any order reported missing 14 days after delivery receipt will not be eligible for a replacement, refund or resolution. Please do not file a claim directly for your missing package.

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?
Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to transfer store credit to your online account. If you would like to use your store credit but are unable to make it into a store, we suggest that you place a phone order through one of our stores, and they can charge you using your store credit. The store will then send your items directly. -
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.
