Returns

What is your product guarantee?

If you are not satisfied with any Paula's Choice product, for any reason, you can return it to us within 60 days of date of purchase and we will happily refund the purchase price (not including shipping), provided the product is unopened.

In case you are not satisfied with any Paula’s Choice product that has been opened, you can also return this product at your cost. Please note that you may not receive a full refund in cases where the product has been used beyond what is deemed reasonable to trial the product. For example, a product that is empty or almost empty. This also applies to a product that has been damaged after you have received it.
