I'm a big fan of French skincare so on my recent roadtrip to France I just had to pop into a local pharmacie and stock up on a few basics:
I love the Bioderma crealine H20 solution for make up removal, so naturally they were the first item on my list. Whilst there I also spotted these green bottles of Bioderma sebium H20. They're targed for oily skin, something which I suffer from, so into the basket they went too.
Finally, I brought a small bottle of Caudalie beauty elixir to try out. On first impressions, it's very refreshing, I love the herbal scent, and I'm hoping the essential oils will be beneficial for my skin.
Unfortunately there weren't any big pharmacies where we were, else I'd have picked up a lot more. Hopefully next time I'll be visiting Paris and can shop to my heart's content in one of their bigger stores.
Are you a fan of French skincare? What are your favourite products?
Ps. Congrats to Ying who is the winner of my Saturday night out kit giveaway. Congrats Ying, can you please email me your address and I'll get your prizes sent out asap.
I'm turning into a big fan of Nuxe's dry oil and Caudalie's moisturisers, but would love to try Bioderma!

Bioderma's not the easiest to get hold of in the UK, but if you can then I would definitely recommend x

It's great isn't it. I'll try and get a review up soon but in the meantime if you google it, there are loads of blogposts about it already :) x
DeleteI'm definitely a fan of French skincare! My fave brands are Bioderma (love micellar water!), La Roche-Posay, Lierac, Galenic, Nuxe, Sanoflore, Uriage and some Vichy products. I'm lucky I can buy them almost at every chemist's.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Thanks for recommending, I shall keep an eye out for them next time I visit France x
DeleteI just wrote about caudalie beauty elixir on my blog too! it smells really refreshing, doesn't it? perfect for summer!

It really does, glad you like it too x
DeleteHow many Euros was it in France? I'm off to Berlin soon, I wonder if they have any good beauty product!
ReplyDeleteThe pink Bioderma was 18, the green one a few euros cheaper and I think the Caudalie beauty elixir was around 10 x
