I'm visiting France next week and would love for someone to recommend a well priced French pharmacy cleansing balm. Currently about to finish my Emma Hardie so need another to try! Anyone have any recommendations?

I use La Roche Posay make up remover milk. It's very mild and does the job well.

Nuxe Melting Cleansing Gel with Rose Petals

Thanks, I do want a balm type thing rather than milk but will check it out. How cheap is Nuxe in France?

I did a google search OP as have an interest in this for my own travels.
A bit disappointed as could only find 3:

Darphin Professional Cleanser Aromatic Cleansing Balm

Lierac Double Cleansing Balm in Oil

Biotherm Biosource Balm to oil deep cleanser and make up remover

Would have loved a Balm from Avene or LRP as really get on with their formulas.

Bump for any suggestions from the evening crowd.

TBH I don't think balm cleansers have taken off as much in France as they have here. When I've been in Sephora recently it tends to be mostly milks and oils.

That said, I believe that Sisley do a balm cleanser.

Thanks so much theconifers and all of you, I did get the Nuxe one and some serozinc as I've heard so much about it but nothing else as a)DH was getting antsy even though I told him I could meet him elsewhere he insisted he wanted to stay with me and b)I needed some time to translate all the pretty bottles and frankly couldn't with little time. Wondering if Eurostar terminal has a pharmacy I can pop into!

Just to update here, I did get the Nuxe gel in the end and I love the smell! Unfortunately on me, it struggles to remove eye make up or all of my normal Nars tinted moisturiser. But I will keep using it in the morning when I'm make up free. So, needing a cleanser still, I ended up getting the M&S Pure range rose balm. It looks like the Emma Hardie one (is a bit lighter). Anyway that one was good and removed ALL make up. I have no issues recommending it as it's also only £12!
