It’s not just fashion that the French do right

Ooh la la. The allure of France’s finest extends to more than just Parisian Haute Couture and pastries, you know. French pharmacies are known for their stellar skincare and beauty products and as someone who’s lucky enough to frequent France a lot, I love to stock up on all the best picks while I’m there. But if you don’t have a trip planned or your next excursion is simply too far off to wait, I’ve got you guys covered. One of my all-time favourite destinations to discover French pharmacy favourites is Amazon. And these finds are more affordable than you might think. From the best purifying cleansers and moisturizing creams, to devices that reduce skin blemishes and plumping lip oils – read on!

Cleansers

A good cleaner goes a long way, and no one understands this more than the French. Their pharmacy buys include everything you need – and the best are on Amazon. Think micellar water with hints of rose and foaming options from French beauty favourites like Caudalie that are super purifying to leave my skin feeling so clear. Plus, picks from La Roche-Posay that are gentle on sensitive skin.

Moisturisers & Creams

From blackhead-banishing products to the best daily face moisturisers, creams and SPFs that beauty editors swear by, there’s no shortage of my go-to picks when it comes to this category. If you’re looking for great affordable options, Caudalie gets my vote. The VinoHydra Deep Hydration Moisturiser is super hydrating and can shield against environmental damage thanks to the antioxidant-rich grape seed polyphenols ingredient. And for a true classic, I love the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Moisturiser – it’s a moisturiser, primer and makeup remover all in one and is super affordable.

Serums

Some serums have the power to work magic within your skincare routine so investing in a good one, perhaps an option of the French variety, is always a good idea. Deciding which all depends on what you want your serum to do for your skin. Looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles? I’d go for the Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Retinol Alternative Serum. If you want to control blemishes and reduce the size of pores, Caudalie’s Anti-Blemish Duo will do the trick. And to plump and protect, try the Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum – it’s hydrating, non-greasy and will strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

Masks & Beauty Tools

Face masks are the ultimate form of self-care and relaxation for me so indulging in good ones is key for my skin AND sanity. Nuxe has some great options that are super affordable. I love the Detoxifying & Glow Mask complete with Activated Charcoal to banish impurities and give you a glow. And to tighten pores, Caudalie’s Vinoclean Instant Detox Mask gets my vote (it’s great for a self-care night in). The French also know how to do beauty tools right, I love these light therapy devices on offer.

Eye Products

Protecting the extra-delicate skin around your eyes is crucial to a good beauty routine whether you’re looking to pre-empt the look of ageing, reverse the hands of time all together, or simply keep yourself looking fresh and radiant. And these French pharmacy options don’t disappoint. From tried and true dermatologist favourites to Caudalie’s eye cream with niacinamide to tackle those dreaded dark circles. The Talika Eyebrow Liposourcils Expert Gel is also worth a try.

Lip Products

We can’t forget about lips! I like to keep it super natural, opting for products that smooth and plump my lips first before adding some colour and shimmer later. Nuxe’s Reve De Miel Lip Balm with lavender honey and shea butter is one of the best, especially if your lips are cracked and in need of a little love. Plus, there are plenty of French pharmacy bestsellers available on Amazon that focus on soothing and giving lips a subtle shine.

Hand, Nail & Body Products

From moisturising body oils complete with a little shimmer, to Mavala’s nail strengthener which is the stuff of legend, I’ve discovered so many great beauty finds on Amazon which are my certified French pharmacy favs. La Roche-Posay is especially great for sensitive skin on your hands and body, and French finds like Bioderma are some of the best on the market when it comes to repairing products.
