How to Purchase a Sephora Gift Card

There are three ways to buy a Sephora Gift Card:

  1. Inside any Sephora store or authorized retailer in the United States

  3. Call customer service at 1-877-SEPHORA

Sephora eGift Cards are created via LGCS and can only be purchased online through Sephora.com, Sephora.ca, or authorized retailers.

How to Redeem Your Sephora Gift Card

Redeem In-Store:

  • Swipe your card like a credit or debit card. For an eGift card, show the cashier the card via a printout or on your mobile device and they will either scan the card with a handheld scanner or manually input the 16-digit code.

Redeem Online:

  • If using a physical card, carefully scratch off the foil to view the 8-digit PIN located on the back of the gift card in the right corner. For an eGift card, find the code underneath the card’s barcode.

  • Click Save & Continue.
  • You will see the gift card amount deducted from your total on the right side of the page.
