Skincare Review | French Pharmacy Favourites

French Pharmacy Favourites Escentual

I’ve been getting a lot of promotional emails from Escentual at the minute about their French Pharmacy month so I thought I’d chat today about my favourite French Pharmacy brands and products before the up to 1/3 off offer is over this Sunday!

Klorane ultra gentle haircare review

I was introduced to this brand just before Christmas and I absolutely love how gentle it is! The shampoo is a lot more watery than any other brands I’ve tried and lathers up better on the second wash. My hair always feels super soft and looks shiny when I use these but what I’m most impressed about with these is how much less tangled my hair is! I’ve never used anything that makes it as easy to brush through as when I use this! The scent is really gentle too and not overly perfumed and the range is so gentle it can be used on all ages!  

I’d never tried a dry shampoo for dark hair until this and I’m impressed. It doesn’t spray tinted but I leave it for two minutes like its recommended then give it a quick rub into my scalp and brush through and my once greasy second day hairs looks shiny again with no white cast! I love the scent of this too; it’s really refreshing and instantly recognisable as Klorane!

eucerin complete repair intensive lotion review

I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this countless times but I can’t be without it in my body care stash! It’s not a fancy moisturiser but I sometimes get itchy legs at the most random times for no reason whatsoever and this is the only thing that calms my scratching down and offers me relief! It also helps with any dry skin patches I get and it’s so basic but 100% effective and another product I always stock up on!

This is a really refreshing, calming spray that I use either as a toner or just after toning my face before applying moisturiser. It works really well with my blemish prone skin and targets excess oiliness as well without drying my skin out!

This is another old favourite of mine and one I have went more bottles than I care to remember! It’s so hydrating, lightweight and smoothing and I think everyone should have this in their stash!
It sinks in really quickly and I always go back to this as it works so well with my oily/combo skin! I talked about it in this Forever Repurchased post too!

Avene TriAcneal currently £17.25
Excuse the really old packaging of this and I’ve probably had it longer than is recommended but a little goes a long way and I don’t like throwing out things when they still work! This helps dry out spots without drying out the skin around it and is something I always go back to when I have a stubborn spot that just won’t budge! I’ve linked the newer version which I haven’t tried but I’m sure it’s just as good and I really like the Cleanance range from Avene in general!

That’s it for my French Pharmacy favourites! I’m trying to save money at the minute (it’s not going well this month!) but it’s so tempting to stock up when Escentual do this 1/3 off promotion! Definitely take advantage of it if you want to try anything new!

  7. Klorane is cheap in the UK but it's on the higher price range here in Canada. :-( I do adore Vichy as you already know and now am slowly falling in love with la Roche Posay.

  8. We all know you are a sucker for a deal haha! I don't think I'd get along with that gentle shampoo as I love a good lather. That spray sounds really nice though!

  15. I'm on bottle 2 of the Tri-Acneal and will be purchasing bottle 3 sometime, because it's SO good. It works pretty well for me, I had no idea that's how the old packaging looked like!! Klorane hair products are also lovely.

  16. Klorane Dry shampoo and La Roche Posey Serozinc are among my most repurchased products ever. Next time I am in France I am going to try the dry shampoo dedicated to oily roots.
