### 2/5 — Need Help!

*2025-08-05*

This is my first time trying the new Sephora app, I installed it and of course it sent me to the language page, but it was only showing Middle East countries. I could not find United States anywhere.

### 2/5 — Sephora

*2025-03-29, version 8.24.0*

It is so expensive only in the Sephora collection and it’s so confusing. I like the old one better.

### 2/5 — اسوء تطبيق

*2025-03-24, version 8.24.0*

كل مرة اطلب شي منه لازم يدفعني ثمن التوصيل للبيت  والتسليم  ولا مرة دخلت بطاقتي و ما استوى فشل فالدفع 
لازم يدفعوني 20 درهم مال الدفع عند الاستلام😠

### 2/5 — Pointless

*2025-02-22*

They NEVER have the rewards for reaching 200 points. Half the items are out of stock. You can’t use gift cards purchased in the store on the app. In store experience is not much better. You can find the same brands elsewhere

### 3/5 — Only good for a spear fishing customer, poor for discovery

*2024-10-13*

I hope your PM / tech team / Chalhoub sees this review:
1. Checking out on the app is a terrible experience. I’ve already decided what I want, I’ve ordered from Sephora UAE many many times. I shouldn’t have to click into each section to select my Delivery, Payment method, and Billing address each time. Please enable defaults for all of these based on last used OR if a user has only one address and payment method used, default to that. 
2. Catalogue is not well maintained. For example: Color Wow is a brand that is not searchable via Categories. Product details, descriptions, and usage tips are no where up to par with Sephora US. I find myself going to the other Sephora app or TikTok to find better product images, swatches, and details because they are low quality on the app.
3. General navigation and performance issues: would be great if you could add to basket from the product tiles instead of having to click into each product. If I know what I want, just let me give you my money and go. App has been really slow lately, especially when loading product detail pages and adding to cart. Adjusting qty on the basket page also takes ages - where the qty selector works to remove an item from your basket (qty=0) but the Remove from Basket will throw errors and not work sometimes.
4. I have to click into each individual order to see the contents of that order vs showing it on the orders list. Also it would be nice to have something on the homescreen that allows me to quickly browse and add products I’ve bought in the past to my cart.

Love the brand. Love that I can order from the app. Would love if you guys made some improvements to make the experience much smoother for your customers :)

### 3/5 — order history problem

*2024-06-15*

i adore this app but lately i dotn know what it is but whenever i click on the page "order history" on the app it doesnt show me my past orders anymore and it says "order could not be retreived please check emails or visit websites" and i have snd i still dont get it nor see my past orders. please help

### 1/5 — Not enough countries

*2023-11-11*

I was trying to sign up for this app because the reviews looked good and I thought this was the real Sephora. When I got to the part to put my phone number in, I couldn’t because I could not find 908 (the beginning of my number) I do not recommend this app what do ever!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t allow sign in

*2023-10-05*

I can’t login to the app with my user name and password, it gives error “slave account” however I can login to my account online using a browser. There is also a message to update the app but in the App Store it doesn’t show any update. Have deleted and reinstalled the app but same thing happens. So not a good app at all! Can’t contact app support either as link here doesn’t allow.

**Developer response:** We really appreciate your feedback and are so sorry for your experience. If this issue is still ongoing please reach out to a member of our customer care team at customercare@sephora.ae and we will investigate.

### 1/5 — Help!

### 1/5 — Complain service team

*2023-08-05*

I have called twice to transfer my points 1000+ points into one account as I had two accounts earlier 
The first call was made on 30th July and the representative informed me within 72hrs and on Tuesday I called again they said for sure for the next 72hr and still not resolved I’m very disappointed for a simple assistance I need to chase your team 
And I can’t submit my complaint through the app it’s glitching

**Developer response:** Oh no, so sorry to hear that! 😲 Please contact our team at customercare@sephora.ae with your account details, we will investigate

### 1/5 — Concerns Regarding Huda Beauty Partnership

*2026-02-04*

I respect Sephora as a global beauty retailer, but I personally value strong ethical standards when choosing where to shop. I have noticed ongoing public discussions and concerns online regarding Huda Beauty and its founder, Huda Kattan, particularly related to reactions and statements connected to human rights issues involving Iran.

As a customer, seeing Huda Beauty still prominently promoted in stores makes me question Sephora’s consistency in addressing customer concerns about transparency and social responsibility. I hope Sephora considers customer feedback and carefully reviews how brand partnerships align with the values many shoppers expect.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-01-27, version 8.43*

يعني ليه حاطين توصيل لكل دول الخليج إلا السعودية !!

### 1/5 — 1

*2026-01-26, version 8.43*

12

### 1/5 — I need an explanation

*2025-12-21*

I understand that this app is Sephora UAE, however I was surprised to see that delivery is available to all Gulf countries except Saudi Arabia. This was confusing and disappointing, especially since Saudi Arabia is a major market in the region. I was genuinely interested in purchasing products, but this limitation prevented me from completing my order. I hope this issue can be reconsidered or at least clearly explained within the app.

### 1/5 — No

*2025-10-23, version 8.36*

Nope

### 1/5 — Birthday gift

*2025-09-08, version 8.34*

I visited all sephora branches and they told me birthday gift is oos

Customer service forced me to place an online order to redeem my birthday gift 

It’s not fair that I lose it just because it’s unavailable in branches, you have to extend it !! 

Since you have branches, I shouldn’t be forced to order online.

You have to keep customers satisfied !

### 1/5 — THIS IS A FAKE

*2024-06-01, version 8.11.80*

I’m not sure if it gives you the stuff you order but the prices are outrageous people, go get the real app!

### 1/5 — DO NOT SHOP HERE

*2024-04-14, version 8.11.60*

When I went to search up drunk elephant, and Summer Friday lip bomb it’s $155 and the actual price is only like 30 to 70 dollars the prices is so unreasonable just shop at Ulta or Sephora do not shop here! If I could give it to zero, I would

### 1/5 — FIX THIS!!

*2024-04-08, version 8.11.60*

At the actual store everything is usually $16-$6? But these prices are to high I hate these fake prices you guys just want money. Because these aren’t the actual prices! Thirsty!!!!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-11-30, version 8.11.11*

I love Sephora but this app not so much the prices are so much more higher than the Sephora app the ordinary serums are about 12$ or 6$ and in this app it’s 30$ to 40$ and yes Sephora is expensive but if you go to the Sephora app it’s 6$ this is a SCAM

*2026-05-02*

### 5/5 — Im confused

*2025-03-10*

Okay so first of all I made an account on the website because it seemed smart right? Well wrong because when I tried to get the app and set up my account it said my phone number was wrong. Im I’m USA and it didn’t have and option of anywhere near me I tried calling the workers and I think I talked to Veronica and she tried helping but it didn’t work. It was still saying that I needed to fix my phone number but I double checked oh and when I tried signing in it said my email was wrong like I got this app to make my life easier not to judge me. So Sephora, if your reading this helppp meeee your app is giving flop so make it slay and your ratings will go up.

Edited: so sorry I’m stupid and didn’t relize I didn’t get the USA version of the app😭😅

### 4/5 — The email problem

*2025-07-27*

The app is great but I never downloaded before I downloaded it just a month ago and when I typed in my email it’s the correct one and it told me that my email is already used by another account and I swear I just downloaded it like I never had the Sephora app and it told me to sign in I added my email again but it takes a long time to request and idk why that happened and I swear that it is the correct email but idk the password

### 4/5 — It’s amazing but something’s wrong……

*2023-11-11*

Everything seemed perfectly fine and I love the app but for some reason I can’t order Dior even if it’s in stock I just can search it whenever I do it says 0 results so Sephora please fix this🥲🤍🖤
