Returns

What's your return policy?

Once your return request is authorized, please ensure that all returns reach our studio within a two-week period from the date the pre-paid return label is emailed to you. Failure to do so may result in our inability to authorize a refund/store credit or issue another return label. 

We reserve the right to refuse any return for a product, after inspection, if we determine that it is less than half full, has been re-filled with a non-Youstina Maksimous product, or was not originally purchased from youstinamaksimous.com. Also, please note that unauthorized returns or those failing to meet our return criteria will be recycled or disposed of. Products that have been damaged or lost from personal usage such as dropped, stolen, spilled, or mishandled are not refundable.
