Sephora Shoppers Can Claim Part of $9.2M Skincare Settlement

Sephora Shoppers Can Claim Part of $9.2M Skincare Settlement

Introduction

Shoppers who purchased certain skincare products from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare may be eligible for compensation through a settlement involving the company.

Plaintiffs alleged that the brand misled consumers by falsely advertising that its C+Collagen products contained collagen, a protein commonly used in skincare for its moisturizing and skin-rejuvenating properties. According to the lawsuit, consumers might not have bought the products or paid as much for them if they had known that there was no collagen in the formulations.

Although Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare has not admitted any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to a $9.2 million settlement to resolve the claims. To qualify for compensation, consumers must meet two criteria: They must have purchased qualifying C+Collagen products from the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare line between March 10, 2016, and June 28, 2024.

As part of the settlement, class members can receive $50 for each C+Collagen product purchased. No proof of purchase is required to claim up to two products, with a maximum payout of $100. Those who can provide proof of purchase, such as receipts or order confirmations, can claim up to ten products, with a maximum compensation of $500. The exact payout amounts may vary depending on the number of claims submitted, with potential increases capped at $100 per product.

To receive payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by September 27, 2024. Those who wish to exclude themselves from or object to the settlement also have until this date to take action. A final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for October 31, 2024.
