1. Authenticity & Product Quality

Are all products sold on SEOUVARA 100% authentic?

Yes, absolutely. SEOUVARA unconditionally guarantees 100% authentic Korean beauty and skincare formulations. Every item in our catalog is procured strictly through authorized brand distributors, certified cosmetic manufacturers, and official Korean wholesalers. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against counterfeit, grey-market, or imitation goods.

How fresh are your products, and where can I find the expiration date?

Because all inventory is managed directly through our central export hub in Seoul, South Korea, fast stock rotation ensures peak formula freshness and active-ingredient potency. In accordance with South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) directives, dates are clearly printed on the packaging in the YYYY.MM.DD format:

제조 (Manufacture Date): The date the product was factory filled and batch-tested.
까지 (Expiration Date): The final date before which the unopened product should be opened for active use.
PAO (Period After Opening): Displayed via an open-jar icon (e.g., "12M"), indicating recommended usage within 12 months after the factory seal is broken.

Why does packaging occasionally differ from domestic Korean drugstore versions?

Leading Korean skincare brands routinely refresh outer box typography, tamper seals, and pump mechanics to prevent unauthorized counterfeiting. Furthermore, major brands manufacture specialized international export editions featuring bilingual English ingredient lists and global regulatory compliance. These variations represent official packaging updates by the brand manufacturer while maintaining identical, genuine formulations.

What payment methods are supported?

We provide a comprehensive range of secure checkout gateways, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and PayPal.

Is my financial and credit card information secure?

Yes, completely. Our website utilizes 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, and all electronic transactions are processed directly through certified, Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways. SEOUVARA and TIANMU LLC never capture, record, or store full credit card numbers or CVV/CVC security codes on private servers.

Can I modify or cancel an order after checkout?

Orders can only be canceled or modified prior to entering warehouse packing and transfer to international logistics. If you need to make changes, please email info@seouvara.com immediately. Once an order is processed or dispatched, it cannot be recalled in transit; you may receive the delivery and initiate a standard 30-day return.

4. Returns, Replacements & Refunds

What is your return policy and return window?

We offer a clear 30-calendar-day return window from the date tracking confirms delivery. In accordance with strict international cosmetic hygiene and public safety regulations, returned beauty products must remain completely unopened, unused, untampered with, and in their original packaging with factory protective seals intact.

Do you charge restocking or handling fees on returns?

No. SEOUVARA charges $0.00 in restocking or reprocessing fees for all eligible returns.

What if an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?

Please inspect your package upon delivery. Any transit damage, defect, or fulfillment error must be reported within 7 calendar days of delivery by emailing info@seouvara.com with your order number and clear photos showing the damaged product, retail box, and carrier shipping label.

SEOUVARA covers 100% of return transit costs and will promptly arrange an immediate free replacement or complete refund.

How do I initiate a return and where do I send the package?

To ensure proper tracking and refund processing:

Email info@seouvara.com with your Order Number and return reason.
Our support team will verify eligibility and issue an authorized Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number along with designated return warehouse instructions.
Securely package the unopened items and dispatch via a trackable mailing carrier.

*Note: Packages dispatched without an authorized RMA confirmation cannot be processed. Please consult our Refund Policy for full details.

How long does it take to receive a refund?

Once your returned package arrives at our processing hub, items undergo verification within 2 to 3 business days to confirm factory seals remain unopened. Once approved, refunds are credited back to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your card issuer or banking institution.

5. Skincare & Formulation Safety

How do I know if a cosmetic formula suits my skin?

Every product listing on SEOUVARA contains full ingredient breakdowns and functional routine classifications (such as barrier restoration, intensive hydration, or calming care). Because individual dermatological sensitivities vary, we always recommend reviewing full ingredient panels for known personal allergens and conducting an epidermal patch test behind the ear or inner wrist before full application.

Does SEOUVARA provide medical or dermatological treatment advice?

No. All content, ingredient descriptions, and skincare guides published across SEOUVARA are provided solely for educational and cosmetic informational purposes. Products sold on our platform are non-prescription cosmetics and are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or dermatological disease. Please consult a qualified medical professional for chronic dermatological conditions.
