✓ The product has not been connected to power
✓ No water, cleaning solution or makeup residue has been introduced
✓ The original packaging is intact
✓ All accessories and included items are returned

Products that have been opened, tested beyond reasonable inspection, used, or exposed to beauty products cannot be accepted for hygiene reasons.

Customers requesting a voluntary return may be responsible for return shipping costs.


3. Faulty, Damaged Or Incorrect Orders

If your Alovia™ Brush Refresh arrives:

  • incomplete;
  • or significantly different from what was ordered;

please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order.

Please provide:

Returned products must comply with applicable return requirements.

Once returned goods have been received and inspected, approved refunds will be processed.


6. Hygiene & Beauty Device Returns
