What happens to used products, such as skin care and cosmetics, that are returned to a store or website?

Do they get repackaged and put back on the shelf? Do the employees get to take them home? Do they get sent back to the manufacturer? Are they just thrown away? I really would like to know.What happens to used products, such as skin care and cosmetics, that are returned to a store or website?
I worked at bath and body works for a year, and they have a policy that you can return anything even if you've used it.





If the person told us they used the product or we even suspected they used it, we had to squeeze the product into the trashcan and then throw away the bottle. If it was an item that wasn't used and came from our store, we put it back on the shelf. It it was an item that wasn't used but wasn't in our store, there was a prize drawer in the back that the employees could choose from if they did really well in sales, etc. I once got a $95 item that I took back to the store it was originally from and returned it for other items I actually needed. This is a little bit against the policies, but it helped me out!!





There are laws against anyone using used cosmetics. The store has to throw them out. The employess wouldn't take home used cosmetics because that's gross. I guess some stores send stuff back to the manufacturer, but the majority of it gets thrown out.What happens to used products, such as skin care and cosmetics, that are returned to a store or website?
well the products r not returned the companies do not agree to take it back they only agree to take the un used products o they accept to take back the products that r less in quality and give u another one
If they've been opened, they either get thrown away or returned to the manufacturer for credit. If not opened and not defective, they put them back on the shelf.
