Are salon products really that much better than your supermarket and over the counter (OTC) products? is that price difference accurate or are you putting money into the wrong persons pocket?

This is a hard one, I mean look at the cosmetics market it’s flooded head to toe! I mean if the ridiculous booty tightening creams that have come out are some what selling something, that means the chances are that you are buying something that doesn’t even work, is pretty high.

So the answer to the question is actually easy.

The answer is yes, your Salon products are the ultimate when It comes to either, supermarket products, pharmacy products or even businesses and products like Arbonne.

Not just anybody can start selling or supplying salon only product and that’s because they are in a high potency ingredient category. These sales categories for products are created by law. You have to be a trained beautician, and even then must complete further skin anatomy and product courses to be able to competently prescribe and sell active skin care that works.

it’s not that other products are bad. You are just getting what you pay for. Or you are getting something that really isn’t right for your skin concerns.

Supermarket actives sit at 2% actives and 98% water and oil emulsion (mixture)

Most pharmacy products sit at 4-7% active

Meanwhile salon products contain unto 50 - 80% active ingredients, and skin cares such as Biologi have managed to formulate a completely natural line that is 100% active.

so in order I will tell you what you are buying

Supermarket - water or oil

OTC - chemicals, natural compounds, cheap manufacturing ingredients and water or oil

Salon - Actives such as Vit C, Niacinamide, B12, plant and root extracts and the list of ingredients truly never ends.

So again yes the price difference is 100% justifiable and in fact the price you pay for supermarket products is going toward oil or water on your face. The exact same goes for hair products etc. I once made the mistake of getting a supermarket shampoo for my platinum blonde hair and I was all tones of orange, purple, white and brass! all for a total price difference of $32.00
