Shop Health and Beauty by Category

From daily skincare routines to special-occasion fragrances, the Exchange health and beauty department covers every wellness and grooming need for the military family.

Skincare and Sun Protection

The skincare section at ShopMyExchange features both drugstore and prestige brands. CeraVe, Neutrogena and Olay sit alongside Clinique, Estee Lauder and La Roche-Posay. Military families stationed in sun-intensive locations — Fort Irwin, Fort Huachuca, installations in Hawaii and Guam — purchase significant quantities of sunscreen through the Exchange. SPF products from Neutrogena, Coppertone and Sun Bum are stocked year-round.

The Exchange also carries dermatologist-recommended products that align with VA healthcare guidance on skin health for service members. Anti-ageing serums, moisturisers, cleansers and masks are available in both travel sizes for deployment and full sizes for home use.

Designer Fragrances

The Exchange fragrance department is one of the most popular sections of ShopMyExchange. Designer brands including Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, YSL and Giorgio Armani are stocked at prices competitive with department stores — before the tax exemption is applied. A $130 bottle of Dior Sauvage purchased at the Exchange saves $8 to $12 in sales tax compared to buying at Macy's or Nordstrom.

Fragrances are among the most popular gifts shipped to APO/FPO addresses. The Exchange offers gift sets during the holiday season that combine full-size fragrances with travel sizes and complementary products at bundled pricing.

Supplements and Fitness Nutrition

Service members maintaining physical readiness rely on the Exchange for supplements including protein powder, pre-workout formulas, BCAAs, creatine and multivitamins. Brands like Optimum Nutrition, GNC, Cellucor, MusclePharm and Garden of Life are stocked in quantities that reflect the fitness-focused military lifestyle. All supplements are tax-free and ship to APO/FPO addresses.

The Exchange frequently offers military-exclusive value packs on popular supplements that are not available at civilian retailers. A 5-pound tub of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey purchased tax-free at the Exchange saves $4 to $7 in sales tax compared to the same product at a supplement shop.

Grooming Essentials for Service Members

Military grooming standards require daily maintenance. The Exchange stocks everything service members need to stay within regulations.

Shaving and Beard Care

Gillette, Harry's, Schick, Duke Cannon and Cremo products for daily shaving. Electric razors from Braun and Philips Norelco. The Exchange understands that military grooming standards require reliable shaving products, and prices reflect the volume service members consume.

Hair Care

Shampoo, conditioner, styling products and tools from Redken, Paul Mitchell, OGX, Pantene and Head & Shoulders. The Exchange also stocks clippers and trimmers from Wahl and Andis — popular with service members who maintain their own haircuts between visits to the installation barbershop.

Oral Care

Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss from Oral-B, Crest, Colgate and Listerine. Electric toothbrushes from Philips Sonicare and Oral-B are available tax-free. Dental readiness is a military requirement, and the Exchange ensures access to quality oral care products at every installation.
