About

Cosmetics Store
Founded in 2014, Credo’s mission is to create a cleaner, more sustainable, more ethical beauty industry. Credo has defined what the term "clean" means in an under-regulated beauty industry–it is the nexus of safety, sustainability, and ethics. Today, Credo is known as the fastest-growing clean beauty retailer and is heralded as the standard-bearer when it comes to clean, sustainable beauty. To be "Credo clean" goes beyond a restricted substance list (or “free of” list). For its efforts in tackling the beauty industry's packaging problem, Fast Company named Credo the most innovative beauty company of 2021 and 2025.

    I wanted to love this store as they carry all my favorite brands but yesterday was my final straw. I went in to exchange a gift I received, the employee acknowledged that it was purchased the day before and could see it on the persons account. Helped me select an item to exchange it for, walked my up to the register and then RETURNED the item to the original card used by the person I received the gift from and basically said “so sorry, that’s how the system works” while they were incredibly apologetic, I walked out without any products and I am too embarrassed to let the gift giver know so here we are. Aside from this, the constant hounding by brand reps and not being left alone to browse is exhausting. Just go down the street to blue mercury.

    I specifically went into the store because they were having a promotion where if you spent a certain amount you got a complimentary candle. I went into the store, asked about the promotion and a sales associate showed me the candle and raved about its scent and burn time. I browsed the store and upon selecting my purchases in around 20m, the associate checking me out informed me after ringing me up that they were out of the promotional candle (despite still having many on the floor). There was no indication when I asked about the promotion upon entering the store that quantities were limited. The sales associate who helped me with my makeup was very attentive, thus the 2 instead of 1 star. Based on this, I will be avoiding credo beauty in the future and making purchases at one of the many other retailers that carry the same products.

    I bought Dore at a small store while traveling with a friend. I took it home with me and loved it so much, I decided to send a bottle to my friend for her birthday. Of course, I ordered it sent to her home since we live in different states, I told my friend to be on the outlook for the gift. However, Credo sent the gift to me instead of my friend. When I contacted them they refused to acknowledge their error. I understand all small companies have revenue problems but I offered to send them back what they sent me. In the meantime. I asked them to send the order to my friend. They would not agree to do so.
