Bluemercury tip
Exchanges can only be done in-store, not by mail, so mail-in returns are refund-only even if you wanted a swap; after 90 days a refund converts to store credit (gift card) instead of cash back to your card.
Geologie tip
Cancel or change your personalized regimen at least 2 days before your next order date - since Geologie ships same-day once an order starts processing, there's no window to cancel after that point even if you catch it within hours.
