First, the sales of small brands are high, and pharmacies are willing to pay the bill.
Without this inspection, the removal rate of some small-brand cosmetics in pharmacies in second-and third-tier cities is not low, and it is precisely because of hormones that it is possible to achieve remarkable results in whitening and freckle removal. For pharmacies, small brands that are not illegal but have obvious effects and high sales are also an option.
Second, the big brand was stolen and the pharmacy didn't know.
Among the more than 200 kinds of cosmetics disclosed in this inspection, well-known brands such as Baiqueling and Shufujia have also been stolen, and some pharmacies may have an opportunity for counterfeit brands because of lax control of purchase channels. Pharmacy salespeople may not know the fact that they are selling fakes.
Third, pharmacies know and keep it secret.
All walks of life have their hidden rules. For pharmacies, they may get more profits by buying cosmetics from dealers or brands, while some counterfeit cosmetics may have low cost but high price, so pharmacies can get much higher profits from them, so even though they know that cosmetics are counterfeit products, they are still selling on the shelves driven by interests.
