French beauty buys, are there any nowadays?

[AllTalkNo]

I'm in France at the moment and will visit the local hypermarche (with pharmacy) before coming back to the UK. Are there any lovely products I could buy that I can't buy at home? It seems that nowadays many French brands are available in the UK for comparable prices to France. I'd love to buy a few treats though, any ideas?

Anything in Le Petit Marsellais range is brilliant. I also love all the savon de marseille soap bars. Much cheaper in france. Bioderma shower oil is lovely and much cheaper, as is la rosee shower oil.

Lovely ideas, thank you

Although everything is now available online many items are much cheaper when youre over in France. I love Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Moisturiser so stocked up on that when I was there in the summer. La Roche Posay Cicaplast has been a staple for me for many years, it's a wonder cream, so I stock up on that and Biofine, a really good antiseptic you can't get over here. I also buy marseilles soaps, they're much cheaper. I like the big block ones.

Oh and if you have problems sleeping you can buy Melatonin

There's also often special offers on brands like Nuxe and Vichy so have a good browse in there

The higher end pharmacy brands are all available in the UK (often cheaper here) - like la roche posay, vichy, Nuxe etc. But the more budget stuff is lovely and you can't get it here. I love the Petit Marseillais range. I stock up on the shower gels. The almond one is my favourite.
