The beauty department in pharmacies is on the rise, driven by the desire for safe and targeted products and innovations. A good reason to succumb to one of its new products.
Who has never been tempted by a facial or floral water while waiting at the pharmacy counter? Especially during the lockdowns during the pandemic, when everyone rediscovered these rare open places to live and shop: in 2021, 40% of French people bought cosmetics through this circuit. Certainly, the craze for this sector had begun long before, but the pandemic has brought this beauty shopping channel into the spotlight a bit more.
Two years later, this appeal continues, especially for so-called “technical” products. As soon as the skin becomes red, tense or suffers from acne, the seriousness and sound advice of the white coat appeals to 49% of French people* who buy their facial treatments there. This legitimacy goes far beyond the calming effect of health workers. The sector’s laboratories are very often an integrated research and development unit; An important detail: Their products are well tolerated with compositions that are mostly fragrance-free, contain few ingredients and are very safe.
It should be noted that many concepts initially emerged in pharmacies before contaminating other areas, such as: B. Micellar water, the promotion of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, stick creams, etc. As for the skin suffering from real pathologies such as acne, psoriasis, rosacea, there you will find the most appropriate answers. However, the sector is not strict; It also offers glamorous, glittery body oils, non-stripping but deliciously scented shower gels, and makeup for sensitive skin. Something that meets all desires at more than reasonable prices.
