As a former Walgreen employee, I can tell you they are the Masters of price gouging.

[@PeachesCourage]

I worked for them a year before that I was at Long's (14 years ) before Walgreen's Thanks* for this there's Walgreens down the street from us and yeah there like Long's was take care

CVS has something to say about it. 😂

@@Jess-737 I agree. In my area, CVS is definitely worse. Walgreens offer better prices.

[@uwsgrrrl9981]

I rarely buy anything at Walgreens. Way overpriced. I order online from Target, Walmart & Target.

[@MyCleverHandle]

The only time I shop at CVS is when I have coupons from all my meds. Because they allow multiple coupons per purchase, I sometimes get items for free. Every little bit counts. Of course, when I hit Medicare's forced coverage later this year, I'll probably choke on prescriptions that are currently $0.00 with my insurance.

[@moniquelindholm1381]

I detest those Lume commercials. They gross me out and I’d never consider using them.

[@Fish_FL.]

I agree about their adverts. I tried Native for a little over 2 months. They’re so highly scented but it didn’t do a thing for underarm odor. I went back to using antiperspirants/deodorants that contain aluminum.

[@Gypsygirl9]

Lol. Omg..me too. I will never. That lady is super annoying right?

Sorry but I like Lume. The only thing that holds me for a day. My pits are seriously stinky lol

[@COgirl394]

It seems like Walgreens does more of their own versions of products than Target or Walmart, but in general they're so expensive. I wish Target would do as many because that's where I prefer to shop.

[@gieslerbrad]

Walgreens price gouges and then some. I’m not interested in becoming a member and searching through coupons to possibly pay the same price that the same product would cost at literally any other store or Amazon. Not to mention you usually have to buy two products to get the “deal” and it still costs more than if you bought two products at Target or Walmart.

[@TrailJogger]

I only buy from Walgreens or CVS when I have multiple coupons or rewards to stack

[@Madmarsha]

Same! I work that stuff really hard.

The prices in drugstores has gotten out of control. I can't afford to shop there unless I catch a really good sale which is rare. I ordered the Loreal hair mask (on your recommendation) from Amazon along with the shampoo and conditioner and I love all three! Thanks, Dr Dray!!

Why have prices on everything went up or doubled?

[@debdd7]

I never get anything at Walgreens. Their pricing on products are always more!

[@gardenhappy4]

Differentiating between deodorants and antiperspirants is always a good message. Lots of folks are still unaware that they are totally different products. (It is silly that Deodorants are marketed as "aluminum-free". It would be akin to the Dairy Industry claiming that their products are "gluten-free" or bread packages boldly claiming that they are Lactose-free.)

[@Justin_Osugi]

I'm happy you made a video calling out how expensive drug stores have gotten. It would be interesting if you made a video where you compare the price of ten popular products or dupes between stores like target, walmart, cvs, and Walgreens.

[@lorijean1487]

I used to always buy the CVS/Walgreens dupes. I don't anymore since they are as expensive as the name brands.

[@usernameisunavailable8270]

I notice a general improvement on my skins softness when I oil my body up before showering. Or just using oil in general really improves my skin texture tremendously. Like it drinks it up.

[@irisk934]

I feel like Walgreens has even higher prices than cvs. Those 2 lead the pack in terms of inflated pricing. I try to stick to Walmart or Target or amazon. Always appreciate your videos!

[@anitaclue9868]

Anyplace offering large discounts and coupons inflates those prices to compensate for the 40% off sales. Nope I’ll stick with Target or Walmart

I'm not an ex-employee of Walgreen nor a dermatologist however I had to see a dermatologist because of a skin infection on my face. Very interesting visit. Every over the counter cosmetic, from the most expensive to the least, is not going to penetrate through that top layer of skin. The cosmetic industry has made tons of millions of dollars and we women bought into their lies. I am so angry about the amount of money I have spent on moisturizer when I could have just applied vaseline. Most importantly, I have saved myself a ton of money just visiting a dermatologist. My skin care routine has been extremely simplified! Seek out a dermatologist to create a skin care regimen for you. You will save yourself time and a lot of money.

[@A78cts23]

Dr. Dray you have been my go to for 4 years, thank you for everything you post ❤

[@AMSA.3208]

I also do not enjoy Vitamin C serums. I go back and forth in my head on how much of a role do they actually play in my anti aging skin health journey. Honestly, I would love to have a Dermatologist lay out a product schedule for which products I should be applying morning and night to reap the benefits from each one. Dr. Dray, if you need future video inspiration, I’d love to see this.

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

Vitamin C in morning, (which can also help with collagen production and hyperpigmentation.) Retinol products at night because they can degrade more in the sun.

@@user-hx7mi7ml8u do we do this every day and night? And then what if you use red light therapy. It's really confusing. I wish I had known all of the damage not using sunscreen back in the 80's. I am now 57 and trying to take care of my self induced skin problems.

[@johnsskincarereviews]

Walgreens and cvs prices are INSANE. I only go to cvs because of the weekly coupons and stuff, but even after that it’s about the same as other places. Especially recently! Sidenote- I remember when the off brand vaseline lotion was $3 for 24oz and Neutrogena hydro boost cream was under $20!

[@magdalenahernandez1562]

I personally have been using the kitsch tea tree shampoo bar for my very oily and dandruff ridden hair and it works wonderful! I use it every day and have never been irritated by it. My hair loves it. Lasts a long time and super easy to use! I especially love that it isn’t made with coconut oil. Coconut oil is in ALOT of shampoo bars that I’ve tried in the past and those caused so much build up in my hair and scalp. I’ve tried two shampoo bars from kitsch and both have been great for my very sensitive skin/scalp/hair. I get oily if I don’t wash my hair everyday!

I use Arnica for bruising as I bruise easily. It does work to shorten the healing time by a third. The trick is to use it as many times in the day, as you can. Twice a day won’t do a thing. 8,9, or 10 times a day is the trick.

[@patwagner9308]

I've had very good results using arnica for bruising . It's definitely shortened how long the bruises lasted.

Hi Dr. Dray You might want to give LUME another chance and a review, the product has changed dramatically as far as fragrances and the product absolutely works. I agree that initially when it first came on the market the smell was horrible. Even the unsented was awful. As I said before it has really changed. The peony Rose fragrance is nice, but I actually prefer the unscented. Give it another try!

[@Mrs.Patriot]

I make our deodorant from equal parts coconut oil (92° melt point available online), baking soda, and arrowroot powder. I use a few drops of baby powder fragrance oil, and my husband gets bay rum. It works! But give it a few weeks for your old deodorant to go away and your body adjust. 1/3 c of each fills a standard container almost twice. Refrigerate leftovers, or just keep it in there. Adjust the ingredients if it's too soft.
