ONLINE-SHOP

Beauty shopping outside of our store opening hours? No problem: All DOUGLAS Group brands are accessible digitally around the clock - via app or in the browser in our online shops. Our online range is even larger than our stationary offering. And of course, inspiration and innovation are also important in the digital world - for example with the AR tool Beauty Mirror or the Fragrance Finder with AI support.
