Love this! Especially because we French people still go to these pharmacies, 95% of the time, for our medications ah ah! Also you can find many of the same products in retailers like Monoprix at sometimes cheaper prices. A little tip: try the "Pharmavance" pharmacies because they have everything from gut health to skin care, and as they're a group, the prices tend to be lower than at the other pharmacies. And the staff really knows its stuff.
What are your thoughts of French pharmacies in comparison to the massive skincare markets in Asia? I’ve always thought of Korea and Japan as the global HQs of skincare products.
I think Asia is definitely moving in the right direction when it comes to skincare products and how they're growing in popularity all over the world-making a mark that will last. They probably have a bigger influence on consumers, especially in the US, while French pharmacies may be more of a "trendy" idea people want to get behind and see for themselves.
Ahhh interesting. To the point in the article I think it’ll be hard to move those higher priced items in a Walgreens, CVS, etc so it’ll be interesting to see what other channels or stores they choose to enter.
