Sephora accepts returns of new or gently used products within 30 days of purchase for a full refund to the original payment — "I tried it and it broke me out" is an accepted reason. From day 31 to day 60, returns convert to store credit instead of a refund.

Yes, gently used products are returnable within 30 days — trying the product is an accepted part of the policy. The limit is a pattern of doing it often, which their tracking system flags.
Between 31 and 60 days you get store credit rather than a refund. Past 60 days, returns are generally refused.
Not necessarily — Beauty Insider purchases can be looked up from your account. Without either, a return is at the store's discretion and pays out as credit if accepted.
Ulta doubles this window: 60 days, opened products included, refund to original payment.
Scan any Sephora receipt and PurchVault works out the return window and warranty, then reminds you before they close.
