I’m in France and stumbled upon their fabulous perfumes Solinotes and bought the Roger and Gallet products what else should I buy!

I hate going in forrin pharmacies, I come out pounds lighter. And not in a good way!!

Biafine is great stuff for sunburn and general skin inflammation OP. I always stock up in France.

Im in Bali at the moment in a similar predicament. So much good stuff here with little knowledge of what to get. I could drop a fortune tbh!

Mixa urea moisturising cream although you can get it in the UK now but it'll likely be cheaper in France.

La Roche Posay and Avene skincare products?

Following with interest!

The ones that I see mentioned frequently are A313, Biafine and ialuset.

HoldMyWine · 11/09/2026 08:23

Another vote for Fragonard.

In a hotel in France they had lovely Nuxe honey shower gel and body lotion. I wish I'd bought some there as it seems much more expensive over here.

Bioderma Micellar water. Less than half the price it is here and SO good.

If your hair is at all dry, thick/coarse or in need of tlc I strongly recommend Klorane cupuaçu range which is made in France.
It has a large brown nut on the front and is aimed at dry, damaged hair. It's very nourishing and smells subtlety nice.

It is really wonderful. Unfortunately its one of the klorane range that isn't available in the UK so I stock up if I'm in Europe.

The real Savon de Marseilles. The pump bottle body lotion is great.

Nuxe - everything you can fit!

Efferalgan effervescent paracetemol. Works in minutes, no caffeine either.
