French Beauty Trophies

• King’s Pharmacy in TriBeCa carries Avene and, shockingly, I just bought the Nuxe oil at my local Target in California of all places.

• I don’t want to be chauvinistic, but it’s true we have the best pharmacy products in France !
  L’Huile prodigieuse from Nuxe is a staple, Avène is a brand most mothers tell their daughter about when they are still very young, and you also should check Bioderma and La Roche Posay !

• Duane Reade carries La Roche Posay and Avene in the “beauty center” stores, and Target does too. Also, many of these products are available on Amazon.

• I mainly use Melvita, but I also like Weleda, Avene and Decleor. I also like some Roche Posay products such as Cicaplast which is amazing for scars and really works and their new Anthelios XL 50+ SPF sunblock which is ultra ultra thin and was literally just launched here in France this summer.

• I was also going to say I buy many of these items on Amazon – Bioderma is a staple!

  When I was in Paris in May, I dragged my husband into a small pharmacy near our hotel. The only items I bought were some from Caudalie – I could order them here, but I saved about $50 buying 3 products in Paris!

• So glad I read the NYTimes online before we came home from Montreal. I made a shopping list and beelined it to the nearest pharmacy to stock up. I also keep a list on my phone from an old Goop newsletter where she recommends a bunch of similar products.
