I needed to buy some skinceuticals moisturizer since I'm restarting tretinoin. I was checking out and mentioned that I was getting something heavy because I'm restarting the medication. The salesperson asked me why, told me that that was too strong, and asked me if I was doing this with a dermatologist. She gave me a sample of a different product (that, of course, she sells). I thought the whole conversation was really awkward and weird, especially since this is a medication prescribed by my physician and that I've taken before

I live in Olympia and we don’t have a Bluemercury here. I usually use their website to place orders. Also, It was my first time visiting a store and made an consulting appointment.

My trip to Seattle was worth it. Thanks :)

They took care of me right away after helping the other folks. It's a bit of a drive but I'm willing to drive... read full review
