Is there any difference between cosmetics sold in pharmacies and cosmetics sold in shopping malls?

The difference is that it is sold in pharmacies, which is much cheaper than the first-line or top-tier in the shopping mall, and the second-line in the shopping mall!

There are many brands in the pharmacy, such as Vichy and La Roche-Posay.

Avène, Eucerin, Ircheon ......

A lot, go to a bigger pharmacy and see it, depending on your preferences.

Cosmetics in pharmacies are mainly for medical effects, but they are not drugs and do not have a medical license, which is the two biggest differences. I have a lot of friends who like to go to the pharmacy to buy cosmetics.

The cosmetics sold in pharmacies and the cosmetics sold in shopping malls are mainly different from the following:

1.Different sales channels: Drugstores usually buy them in specialized drugstores or some pharmacies, while ordinary cosmetics can be purchased in shopping malls, counters or other sales channels.

2.Different formulations: Cosmeceuticals are formulated in a more streamlined way and do not contain substances that can easily damage** or cause allergies, such as preservatives, fragrances and surfactants.

The raw materials of cosmeceuticals have been screened, and the active ingredients and safety have undergone clinical trials to ensure safety. The formula of common cosmetics may contain a variety of ingredients depending on the effect, some of which may have adverse effects on certain skin types.

3.Suitable for different skin types: Cosmeceuticals are usually formulated to be gentle and suitable for most skin types, and have a noticeable effect on improving skin problems. Ordinary cosmetics should choose the right product according to their own skin type.

4.The product quality is different: the products in the counter are higher, mainly because of the product quality and the sales channels. The products in the drugstore are lower**, but there may be fakes or the quality cannot be guaranteed.

5.Store rent and labor costs are different: counters are usually located in the most dense city center, and the rent and labor costs are higher, which will also lead to higher products. The rent and labor costs of drugstores are relatively low, which is one of the reasons for the low product**.

In short, there are certain differences between the cosmetics sold in pharmacies and the cosmetics sold in shopping malls in terms of sales channels, formulas, applicable skin types, product quality and quality, store rent and labor costs. When choosing, you need to choose the right product according to your skin type and needs.

The differences are as follows: 1. The services provided are different. For the same kind of cosmetics, there is no difference between the counter and the supermarket, but the counter salesperson usually gives relevant suggestions according to the customer's own skin type when purchasing cosmetics, or provides the customer with a sample of the corresponding cosmetics, so that the customer can experience it in person, and finally buy the cosmetics suitable for him; In supermarkets, customers can only buy on their own and will not receive consulting services.

2. The price is different. Cosmetics counters are slightly higher than those sold in supermarkets because they can provide relevant consulting services.

3. The needs are different. In supermarkets, it is often the customer who names which product to buy, and the salesperson is not very good at doing strict testing. The more delicate the product is divided according to skin type, the more likely it is that customers will make the wrong choice of products that are not suitable for them, and the more likely they are to feel unsatisfactory after use.

In contrast, the products at the counter pay more attention to the professional segmentation according to the skin type, and guide customers how to match and use the products, so that it is possible to use the desired effect.

4. Different positioning. It is sold on a shelf in the supermarket for customers to choose freely, and some will also provide a trial by the way, which is very convenient. This type of cosmetics** is cheaper and more popular.

Although some cosmetics are much cheaper than counters, the quality is not inferior.

There are more complete cosmetics brands in the counter, and there are many well-known big brands that can be purchased by different consumer groups. Affordable cards are indeed very cost-effective, but there are always a few or two defects, or everyone would not be so yearning for big-name makeup. Different brands have different positioning, just choose what you can afford.

The differences between cosmetics in beauty salons and cosmetics purchased in general shopping malls are as follows:

1. In terms of formula system, the formula of beauty salon is much more complex; And the one in the mall is one-sided.

2. The requirements are different. The products of the shopping mall are more universally applicable, so the skin care products usually bought in the shopping mall are simple skin care, protection, and no specific special efficacy; The products of the beauty salon pay more attention to professional segmentation.

3. The purpose is different. The products of the shopping mall, in order to meet a wider audience, always try to make the products suitable for more types of **, but therefore, it is inevitable that they will lose their pertinence; Beauty salons, on the other hand, provide products based on the skin problems of customers.

4. Professionalism is different. In the case of shopping malls, salespeople only understand the functional attributes of the product, and there is no targeting for different customers; The sales staff of the beauty salon have a deep understanding of skin problems, so they can prescribe the right medicine to better solve the customer's skin problems.

5. The service is different. The essence of the beauty salon is imported by instruments, the detoxification cream is exported by instruments, and the essential oils used for gua sha are also specialized; There is no such function in the mall, and only products can be sold, but there is no service.

According to the Regulations on the Administration of Cosmetics Labeling issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China on August 27, 2007, cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are smeared, sprayed or other similar methods and scattered on any part of the human surface, such as hair, fingernails, lips and teeth, etc., for the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and changing the appearance, or correcting the human body odor and maintaining a good condition.

Several main functions of cosmetics:

1. Cleaning effect;

2. Skin care effect;

3. Nutritional effect;

4. Beauty effect

First of all, cosmetics are a general category, which includes cosmeceuticals.

Difference Between Cosmeceuticals and Ordinary Cosmetics:

First: it has the characteristics of medicine and contains certain pharmaceutical ingredients.

Second: cosmeceuticals are more targeted, and they add drugs according to the sales group of the product (such as moisturizing and hydrating, oil control and cleansing), so the cosmeceuticals are more functional.

Thirdly: the safety is higher, the ingredients of cosmeceuticals are strictly regulated, and they cannot contain carcinogens, preservatives, pigments, etc. Therefore, for most people, cosmeceuticals are safer, especially for some people with allergies.

Cosmeceutical product positioning: Sensitive skin and dry skin are the main target groups for cosmeceuticals.

For the quality of cosmetics in stores and supermarkets, it depends on the following aspects: first, the choice of raw materials. The selection of raw materials for cosmetics in stores may be more high-end and selective to meet their high-end and high-quality product positioning; Considering the best factors for cosmetics in supermarket counters, the selection of raw materials can be more popular and affordable.

This will lead to a certain difference in the quality of raw materials between the two. The second point is investment in R&D technology. The R&D investment of cosmetics in stores will be more sufficient, and more advanced technical means will be used to develop new products to continuously meet the high-end needs of consumers; The investment of supermarket brands is relatively small, and more attention is paid to cost control and advantages.

This can also lead to differences in the technical content and performance of the product. The third point is the production process requirements. In the production process of cosmetics in stores, the pure order of industrial oak is more stringent, the standards are higher, and the requirements for products are more stringent to ensure high quality; Supermarket brands may be slightly less demanding and more focused on cost control.

This will also affect the quality stability of the product to a certain extent. Fourth, quality concern. The quality management and testing of cosmetics in stores are stricter, and the quality control is greater to maintain the high-end definition of the brand; The management of supermarket brands is relatively relaxed, and more attention is paid to factors such as cost performance.

This can also lead to differences in quality standards and control between the two. Fifth, however, cosmetics at the supermarket counter do not mean that the quality is completely inferior. Some of the supermarket counter products of big brands have also reached a high level of raw material selection and technology, but the pricing is more affordable than that of store products.

However, the store products of individual small brands are not equal to the quality and high quality of the store products only by the highest quality. Therefore, the quality of cosmetics in stores and cosmetics in supermarket counters is not exactly the same, but it is not absolutely high and low. It depends on the different brands, product positioning and management levels.

For consumers, they should choose the right products according to their own needs and budgets, and should not blindly link ** directly with quality

Specialty stores or counters, you don't have to buy it at a drugstore.

Medicinal cosmetics can be purchased in specialty stores or counters, not through pharmacies. It is important to know that there is no concept of cosmeceuticals at the level of current regulations, and it is illegal to promote the concept of cosmeceuticals such as cosmeceuticals and cosmeceuticals.

Cosmeceuticals will not be directly marked in pharmacies, but there are more such cosmeceuticals in specialty stores and brand counters, and they are sold in large shopping malls, supermarkets, and skin care stores.
