<p>... I just thought a forum like this with 99% women might enjoy the knowledge for future shopping days. haha. But... Note to self: Do not do that.</p>
<p></p>
<p>With that said it is known they do not offer services, of course, but the fact that Dermalogica is sold to schools and taught in schools implies 'Professional'. They should reconsider there position.</p>

<p>Hi Marty</p>
<p>Not sure why the need to explain about Nordstrom Rack. I don't think anyone is many a point about the actual stores, but about the so-called professional product. Dermalogica is not a professional line anymore. They were supposed to sell to retailers who ALSO offered skin care services. Nordstrom's Rack does not offer skin care services. </p>

<p>Nordstrom Rack is a department store and NOT a re-seller of close outs from Nordstrom. I know for a fact 100% that you can buy a pair of denim jeans that are current season and current fits and fashion (or as Nordstroms calls them: replenishment) at the Rack. The ONLY difference is where they are mfgr'd (i.e. US vs Mexico). With that said there is a buyer at The Rack who is buying from a women who sits 20 feet away from another women who is selling to Nordstrom main store and that girl is sitting 10 feet from the girl who is selling the same pair of jeans to your local specialty store (i.e. you know the one owned by a mom and her daughter who are located in a small strip mall) and wouldn't you know it... all three are located in a showroom in Los Angeles off LA and 8th or 9th. They are all selling from the same batch of goods...Hahaha</p>
<p></p>
<p>The point is: Nordstrom rack was called on by Dermalogica's sales department and Nordstrom Rack decided to buy it and see how it sold. Last time I was in The Rack I saw skin care. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It is all about the dollars these days for sure...</p>

<p>Samantha,</p>
<p>What Sephora have you seen Glymed Plus in? I'm just curious, because I do consider Glymed Plus a Professional only line, meaning sold only by professionals. I understand that in today's times, the general consumer can purchase through Amazon many "professional" lines and other stores, where the products may be discounted.

I understand that in today's times, the general consumer can purchase through Amazon many "professional" lines and other stores, where the products may be discounted. The quantity of these products are sold by the 1000s. I do know that there are only a few Professional only lines that fight daily with companies like Amazon to keep their lines of the internet. Glymed Plus is one of them. I value the integrity of the product and yes I am a Business Coordinator for GlyMed Plus, but I am also a licensed Master Esthetician and Esthetic Instructor. I want to be the one to educate my client on proper homecare and clinical care and I want to know that when my client purchases his/her homecare, it is come with proper instruction. I don't want to put you on the defensive, but I am always seeking to make a wrong, right. So when I saw your comment about Glymed Plus sold in Sephora, I know for a fact, it is not. Feel free to rant, I love your passion, but I'll stand up for the fact that Glymed Plus is a Professional only line.</p> I agree with you on your rant…tag:skincareprofessionals.com,2013-08-08:6332291:Comment:1667652013-08-08T21:47:17.029ZJacque Ohttps://skincareprofessionals.com/profile/JacqueOriolt
<p>I agree with you on your rant! And this is why I specifically chose Glymed for my professional skincare line. They are not retailed in Sephora or any other such retailer. Glymed is strict about only selling to professionals and driving all end consumer requests back to us, the professionals. They also closely monitor online sales for discounting. I love that. I want my clients to purchase from me, not be educated by me to go home and purchase online.</p>

My product line is Eminence Organics out of Hungary, and they would NEVER open a mall outlet! Find a line you trust and believe in, and stick with that loyalty!<br />
The training is ongoing, the products are water free....as we all know, water rots botanicals, which, if water is the number 1 ingredient, many preservatives must be added to add shelf life. Look at some of the high priced over the counter products at Nordstroms or even some professional lines where water is the number one…

People want pure, Organic, results oriented products. I have a few other peels that I use, however, Eminence is the reason I am in business.......fabulous! Also love their new mineral make up line, as do my clients. I put in a new make up bar to offer add ons following the facial and sell a lot of great products!<br />
Thanks for the chat with other skin care professionals,<br />

<p></p>
<p>There is a tremendous amount that a mfgr can do to make things easier and a win/win for both and they are:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. No minimums</p>
<p>2. Tell you that their product CAN be used with any other skin care line (as long as education is there) because if they say otherwise they are telling a lie. We are talking regimen skin care and NOT M.D. prescriptions.</p>
<p>3. Do not sell to retail without M.D. or Esty license on wall</p>
<p>4. Do not sell online.</p>
<p></p>
<p>(To other post)</p>
<p>With that said, I would like to add to what Christine is saying... if you take a basic AM and PM regimen how many ingredients is the client applying and count all duplicates as one. If it adds up to over 350 it might be time to seek another line or reduce products. I shoot for under 200 and feel that is a pretty good goal.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking into the deck past the first 10 or so puts those ingredients at such a small amount it might not matter to concern yourself with them. Most ingredient decks with over 25 - 30 are inside the deck to drive the price up on the buyer. That is how the chemists make money, it is the number of ingredients and also the percentage of the active and how many actives but to a large part how many ingredients make up the base.</p>
<p></p>
<p>With regards to original point directly: What you use on the back bar is complimented by what the client uses at home so how can there be a difference. Would I sell to an Esty who I know is selling pro back size to retail clients? Never. So why would I sell retail size direct via retail or online to that same client and go around the esty. The back bar is the same as the front end but only in different sizes and I am thinking you think they are different. For me, they are not. (Sorry if I am not understanding)</p>
<p></p>
<p>But oh ya.... I know this much to your point: </p>
<p></p>
<p>1. Charge the esty a huge opening order</p>
<p>2. Charge them for education</p>
<p>3. Tell them they cannot use my line with any other</p>
<p>4. Then after they have educated their clients and trained them and all the rest of the hard work. I will go and then sell direct at the higher margin and make more money.</p>
