Ordering chemist products online is convenient, but a wide selection does not always make comparing products easy. Attractive packaging, a familiar brand name or a low price does not tell you whether a product is right for your household. This applies to personal care products online, as well as cleaning products, oral care and mosquito protection.
Pay particular attention to three common pitfalls:
By checking the product details in advance, you can compare more than just the price. You can also assess the cost per millilitre, ease of use and suitability.
Do not compare the promotional price alone. Note the contents, number of items and recommended usage. A 250 ml bottle of mouthwash may seem inexpensive, but at a recommended dose of 20 ml per use, it provides around twelve uses. With body oil, the amount used per application also matters.
When looking at a multipack, check whether it contains two full-size products. Also make sure that the product variant and contents match the product title. This prevents you from buying a smaller pack than expected.
With skincare, ingredients are more important than general promises. For example, check whether a product contains perfume, alcohol or essential oils if you prefer to avoid these ingredients. According to the product information, Vaseline Body Oil Lavender contains shea butter, jojoba oil, vitamin E and lavender fragrance. The usage instructions state that the product is for external use only and should not be applied to irritated or damaged skin.
For haircare, the variant and ingredients are equally important. Andrélon dry shampoo contains, among other ingredients, tapioca starch and propellants such as butane, isobutane and propane. Aerosols come with clear safety precautions: do not store above 50 °C and keep away from heat and sunlight.
When buying oral care products, read the instructions on the packaging. The Listerine products in this range contain fluoride at 220 ppm fluoride ions. The product information recommends rinsing twice a day with 20 ml for 30 seconds and not swallowing the product. According to the product information, the Total Care variant mentioned is not suitable for children under 12.
For mosquito protection, the active ingredient and concentration are important. Azaron Anti-Mosquito Spray contains 9.5% DEET and, according to the product information, is intended for use from the age of 2, with restrictions applying to children aged 2 to 12. The stick contains 20% DEET and, according to the label, is intended for adults and children aged 13 and over. Use biocides safely: always read the label and the full instructions for use.
The intended use also matters when choosing all-purpose cleaner. Dettol All-Purpose Cleaner Spray Cherry Blossom contains 750 ml and is described as a spray for grease and dirt around the home. Before use, check which surfaces the product is suitable for and follow the instructions on the packaging. A fragranced cleaner is not automatically suitable for every material.

Alongside the options mentioned above, you can shop online for body oil, dry shampoo, mouthwash, mosquito protection and all-purpose cleaner. If you are putting together a larger basket, you can also compare snacks and delicacies. Always check the allergens, alcohol percentage, nutritional values and storage advice. For products with an expiry date in particular, it is best not to order more than you are likely to use within a reasonable period.
First check the contents, ingredients, usage instructions, intended user and warnings. Then compare the price per pack or per millilitre. With sprays and biocides, the concentration, age limit and maximum frequency of use are particularly important.
That depends on the brand, pack size and offer. Comparing prices online is easier, but you should also consider delivery costs, multipacks and the actual contents. A lower price per bottle is not automatically better value if you buy a variant you rarely use.
It depends on the product. The expiry date or information about the period after opening is shown on the packaging. Store aerosols, oils, cleaning products and food products according to the storage advice. Do not use products if the packaging is damaged or if the smell, colour or texture has clearly changed.
