DEERFIELD, Ill.--SEP. 5, 2024--Walgreens, the leading independent retail pharmacy and healthcare provider, today announced the launch of its new premium skin care line, designed to give customers premium quality without the premium price tag.

In response to growing consumer demand for premium skin care solutions, Walgreens is redefining its beauty landscape and providing an efficient, highly relevant customer experience with a range of products that promise top-tier quality and affordability. Extensive research shows that while customers are eager for prestige skin care options, they don’t want to compromise on price.

“As we sharpen our focus in areas such as women’s health and beauty, our new premium skin care line is a game-changer for those who crave luxury but are mindful of their budget,” says Heather Hughes, group vice president and general merchandise manager for health and beauty at Walgreens. “Compared to the current price of similar premium skin care products listed on brand websites, the online prices of our new Walgreens premium skin care products are at least 50% less expensive, making high-quality skin care more accessible. It’s our way of delivering personalized solutions that don’t break the bank and we invite our customers to see for themselves.”
