How this is worked out

Each app’s line is its lowest listed price for the product in the 14 days, dated, not a promise of what you will pay. Listings join only on matching brand and model words. The full method is on the personal care page, with the shampoos, conditioners, hair oils, hair serums, hair masks, hair colours, bathing soaps, body lotions, hand washes, hand creams, talcum powders, deodorants and roll-ons, perfumes, toothpastes, mouthwashes, shaving creams, razors, beard oils and care, sanitary pads and intimate washes comparisons. A brand or app that believes a figure is wrong can write to us.
