cric-croc · 11-02-2007

I am going to Paris for few days at the end of Feb and I need advice on what beauty products to buy while there...from past discussions I happen to remember there were plenty of good stuff to buy in French pharmacies....

thank you

Crealine H2O by Bioderma. Every model swears by it.

Interesting thread! I'll be in Paris on saturday, so if I should buy anything, recommendations would be warmly received!
I definitely want to try Crealine H20, is that available just at a pharmacy?

Also, is Cle de Peau makeup available in Paris?

FashionJunkie · 14-02-2007

yes you can find it at a pharmacy for sure.

Cle de peau make up is available.

Is Chanel makeup cheaper in Paris than the rest of Europe? Anyone know how much Inimitable costs?

Isn't sublimage around $350?

so not worth it, I got one from a gratis switch, and I use it as a footcream.

Biologique Recherche products are amazing and its rare to find them in the U.S. unless you're in L.A. or SF or NYC.

I dont know if they're sold in pharmacies but their address is
BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE
32, avenue des Champs Elysees

Have fun and please report back what you were able to find.

It is $350 here, wonder if it's cheaper over there.

I like La Mer better if you want a all in one moisturizer for face/eyes. And it's slightly cheaper.

I m going to Paris this weekend. I m very interested to buy some products from Biologique Recherche. Any recommendations?

And what else can I buy in Paris?

La Roche posey products

To all of you travelling to Paris have fun! Paris is a shopper's city. I couldn't help but mention to those of you from the States, that I walked into my local CVS to see them re doing the cosmetics section. The next week, it was like I had walked into a French pharmacy. They had La Roche Posay, Vichy, Avene! Many larger CVS stores are now selling the complete lines for these brands, including Vichy's Dermablend line. So for regular French brands like this I would say skip them they're at home.
