### 2/5 — Where is sort by brand?????

*2026-08-22, version 26.16.1*

I was hoping the last update would fix it but the option is still missing. It was my go to way to shop.

### 2/5 — No longer able to search by brand?

*2026-08-22, version 26.16.1*

When did Sephora remove the option to search by Brand under the Shop section of the app?  I am no longer seeing that option, and it seems really odd that they would remove it.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t ship

*2026-08-20, version 25.20.2*

They say you can order it online but it can’t even ship to Canada! Like what! 2 stars.

### 4/5 — Brand Category?

*2026-08-17, version 26.16*

Love the app but WHY did you get rid of the Brand category??

### 4/5 — great but…

*2026-08-17, version 26.16*

where did the A-Z brands list go?? am I losing it or did it just disappear? it was here a week ago and now it’s not

### 3/5 — The A to Z category

*2026-08-16, version 26.16*

I would like the A to Z category/ list of all the companies that collaborated with Sephora back on the app. It was very helpful with brands I like and the try new brands/products.

### 2/5 — No delete or unlove button

*2026-08-15, version 26.16*

I hate that in my loves basket in order to get rid of a love I have to do it one at a time and when I do do it it scrolls right back to the top of the basket . There should be an option to select several items at once to unlove. Please make this happen !!!!

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-15, version 26.16*

This app is ok The only issue is every time I open the Sephora app. It just isn’t signed in. I have to use my Face ID every time and it gets really annoying and also every time I open something it just says error please try again.

### 1/5 — Sephora is siding with fascism

*2026-08-12, version 26.16*

Closed my Insider account today after being a devoted customer for over 20 years. I won’t be giving my money to Sephora anymore since they’ve decided to sell their products in Israel. Bye!

### 1/5 — Boycot

*2026-08-12, version 26.15*

Deleting and boycotting

### 4/5 — Teens have faces too

*2026-08-10, version 26.15*

For the beauty preferences, please add a teens option (rather than 20s-50+) I use Sephora products every day and I’m in my teens.

### 1/5 — They always make updates to make it the most inconvenient app to use

*2026-08-10, version 26.15*

Sephora developers, why would you ever think it’s a good idea to move the BRANDS tab? We want to shop by brand. It’s worse than the update to make it impossible to un-heart an item without clicking 4 separate spots. Seriously what’s wrong with you all? Why don’t you just remove all other essential functions so we hate your app even more.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-09, version 26.15*

Love this app it is so helpful but it does take forever to load and why is Sephora so expensive

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-09, version 26.15*

This is the glitchiest most annoyingly slow app I’ve ever encountered. I’m lucky enough to live in a city where there’s a Credo store but it’s not fun to wait forever to shop online with an app like this. Please Fix if you want happy customers!

### 1/5 — Missing options

*2026-08-08, version 26.15*

For some reason the look up by brand shortcut has been removed.  This has always been a very useful search function. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-08-08, version 26.15*

Why am I required to sign in to my account in order to make a purchase? I don’t have access to the email I used when I was like 13 for my ‘beauty insider.’ When you purchase in store they ask for your number for your points so I don’t understand the inconsistency with the website. I can’t even track my orders but still get vague notifications that my item has shipped because I have to physically go to the store to purchase and it adds the purchase to my account history. The app also always logs me out randomly like stop. Then every time I say I forgot my password to hopefully recover my email it says there’s an error. Feels like rage bait. Very displeased with this dysfunctional, FBI security shopping app. You would think they would make it easier for someone to simply buy products like every other shopping app, but of course it’s big bad sephora so they’re not hurting either way. I’ve deleted.

### 1/5 — Bugs and Glitches

*2026-08-25, version 26.16.1*

This app has the most glitches I have ever seen. The is useless, I cant search anything, every time I try to shop by specific brands I get sent back to the home screen. I live too far from the Sephora stores to have to just guess on whether they have the product before I come in.

### 1/5 — Login issue

*2026-08-21, version 26.16.1*

I had an acct been trying to log into my acct and nothing works. Online on the app, on my computer nothing!!!

### 1/5 — Version améliorée

*2026-08-17, version 25.20.2*

Pour ma part j’ai une version de téléphone antérieure à celles ciblées pour pouvoir naviguer dans l’application. Est-ce que j’ai perdu mes points Beauty insider? Dois-je mettre une croix sur Sephora? A qui dois-je m’adresser pour régler mon problème?

### 1/5 — Glitches at checkout

*2026-08-16, version 26.16*

I tried to check out in the app. It gave me an obscure error message and cleared out my cart and returned to the app home page without any “order placed” banner. I figured the app bugged out and had to manually re-add every item again just to place another order. Only later did I notice that the first order did go through instead of the app glitching. So now I have to request for the original order to be canceled.

### 1/5 — Brand section gone

*2026-08-15, version 26.16*

The brand section is now gone and it makes it harder to find products

### 1/5 — Closed my account

*2026-08-13, version 26.16*

It is concerning that on 8/11/26 an Israel government page posted about Sephora coming to Israel. It’s a deal where some of the products are being sold at third party stores but it’s scary that an official ministry page for Israel is using Sephora to take a jab at people who are protesting genocide. This along with other ethical issues that have come up with this company I no longer feel like it is a business that is safe, ethical or inclusive. I’m boycotting Sephora due to their partnership with a government that is committing genocide, misleading and aggressive marketing campaigns, labor law violations…and more.

### 1/5 — Put it back!

*2026-08-13, version 26.16*

The Brand tab when you’re looking to shop is gone and we want it back. It was the single most useful tab and I’m not enjoying this new…..whatever this is! The way I had saved my favourite brands for ease and now they’re gone. Thanks Sephora. Way to ruin the app experience for your consumers.

### 1/5 — Now with Genocide

*2026-08-13, version 26.16*

This app and company support genocide. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Genocice

*2026-08-12, version 26.16*

I will never shop here again as long as you’re supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people

### 1/5 — Welcome to Israel!

*2026-08-12, version 26.16*

Sephora has made the most out of Israel’s genocide in Palestine — 6 new stores announced! 
With that, I will be deleting my account and shopping at your competitors ❤️ Also this app is typically unusable just FYI

*2026-08-04, version 26.15*

I can sign on through the web but not the app. It says “sorry something went wrong try again later” it’s highly annoying, fix it

### 5/5 — Exemplary Customer Service

*2026-08-02, version 26.15*

I am a frequent shopper at the Scottsdale store on N. Scottsdale Rd.
Every time I come in and enter face with Josh it is always a great experience!!!
He offers the one thing that every shopper wants and that is someone who CARES about them and their shopping needs. He greets you with a warm smile that makes you feel good that you came into Sephora! He knows where all the beauty products are and helps you find what you are looking for!
He treats all his coworkers with kindness and the same caring attitude!
Sephora is very fortunate to have such a valuable employee as Josh 
He should be commended for his exceptional customer service skills and the way he treats his coworkers either the same kind of caring and respect!
He is a great asset to Sephora and is a mentor to his peers!

### 5/5 — Sephora!

*2026-08-02, version 25.20.2*

I love Sephora, they have a hunch of goo skincare and perfume and products! The only thing I would change about it is the price! All of the stuff in the store my be cool but the price is not cool.

### 5/5 — I can access the app

*2026-07-30, version 25.20.2*

I hate to be that person but I love this app but I have a old phone that won’t update it keeps telling me to update it and it won’t let me access the app I really like this app and love online shopping so please fix it

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-30, version 26.15*

I am obsessed with skincare and makeup I am a Sephora girl and straight when I go to the mall I go to Sephora awesome app
