The owners of this shop are warm and helpful! They have great selects of French brands like nuxe, embryolisse, and la rouche possay plus a treasure trove of a few other brands like the Italian toothpaste Marvis they can introduce you to. A fun visit to treat yourself.

Lovely store with a wide variety of products, including hard-to-find sizes of French facial products (like Cicaplast and Biafine!). Very friendly and personable service as well

WE LOVE THOMPSON CHEMISTS! Let me tell you why - I hope you to keep reading ? This store is owned by a married couple who truly care about the people they are delivering their products and services to. They form a community out of nothing in a bustling neighborhood of people moving in and out - it is like nothing else I have experienced in New York City. I moved nearby the Thomson Chemists after college and one day I walked in and Jolie (the owner) made me feel so welcome and safe. She got to know me, told me about her store and products, and remembered my name the next time I came in, along with the details I had shared with her prior. She takes the time to introduce you to your fellow neighbors, many of which I have formed friendships with because of her - it’s an incredible way to meet new, kind people. Jolie also looks out for you like her own family, saying if I ever feel uncomfortable walking on the street, etc, just duck into their store for some help. It was like having a mom and dad away from home Now that you know the people are great, let me tell you about the INCREDIBLE products! Their pharmacy sells everything from CVS-like basics to elite French cosmetics, and don’t forget that they are a fully functioning pharmacy for your prescription medication needs (that side of things is run by Gary, Jolie’s husband). If you need something you don’t see, Jolie will order it for you and have it there the next day or so. They also have their own line of beautiful products designed specifically for the Thompson Chemists that they are so proud of. They have lots of clean beauty items and they even have lots of things that make great gifts when you’re in a hurry, like books, candles, luxury personal care products, spa items, etc. This is truly a one of a kind place and it needs your support - Shop small and shop local people!! This is just a few blocks from the CVS, so please opt for Thompson Chemists instead of you can :) And if I haven’t sold you yet, believe it or not they even host small bluegrass music nights the second Tuesday of every month. Even if bluegrass isn’t your cup of tea, swing on by to meet your local community!! I will miss this place when I move, thanks for everything Thompson Chemists!Adding some key words hoping their store gets more traction: ☺️ local shop, small business, live music, gift shop, French beauty store, clean beauty, tik tok pharmacy, tik tok beauty store, community center, cvs pharmacy, convenience store, luxury cosmetics, luxury beauty, niche beauty products, unique products, prescription refills, prescription pharmacy, RX

It’s an absolute must for any Francophile and/or skincare junkie. I visited while on vacation and was pleasantly surprised at the high quality selection and knowledge/great energy of the owners! Thank you so much for making real European-grade skincare available in the states!

We love Thompson Chemists and Jolie ❤️ we found out through Tiktok that she carries Biafine, Hexomedine & all our other favorite French products. We were about to leave for the Hamptons so the Biafine was incredible for sun kissed skin! Jolie was kind enough to give us some travel sized products.

Big scam. Went in and they made me buy these super expensive shampoos for dandruff. I've been using the shampoos for 3 months, and it has done nothing for my dandruff, and my hair started falling. Also recommended me a face wash that broke me out. Beware...tiktok scam. When I contacted them, they just ghosted me.
