I'm very happy about this - it's the only brand that's ever worked for my uber-dry skin. And lugging it back from holidays was getting to be a PITA

My fave products are Crealine (a lovely, mild cleansing water - cult product among beauty editors and make-up artists), Hydrabio Riche (a brilliant serum/moisturiser for very dry skin) and the Hydrabio face mask. All pretty inexpensive too.

Just off to Paris and would like to try this range, which I've heard good things about. Specially keen on reasonable prices (usually use mainly Clarins and By Terry) and am a big fan of parapharmacies.

As I've spent lots of effort and money on my skin it has no real problems, even though it is 'mature'. It isn't very dry, though would definitely have a tendency that way if left to itself. I just have the normal concerns about firmness and lines, though again nothing dramatic. In fact, I often get nice compliments on my complexion. Would just like to keep it at present level - or better -without paying so much!

Could you or any of the other Bioderma fans out there recommend a couple of products for me to try?

Crealine is good for all skin types, especially if you don't want to wash your face. Squirt some on cotton wool, wipe over and you're clean, fresh and soft.

They do a Hydrabio Légère which I assume is a lighter version of the one I use, so maybe try that? It feels lovely and light on the skin but really packs a punch in terms of moisture.

Thanks. The Crealine sounds very good - I don't wash my face at night so would use it then.

Will also look at the Hydrabio,and the legere version.

I love the Bioderm crealine - I buy it off ebay and its cheaper there I find. I love Le Roche Posay products too

Great news. They do those Crealine wipes that everyone raves about too.
