Bioderma Sensibio
Topping every French girl’s list of beauty essentials is this micellar water by Bioderma. It removes makeup effortlessly and cleanses skin without irritating it.

Boiron Cicadermine
Called “Homeoplasmine” in France, this all-purpose ointment deserves a spot in everyone’s medicine cabinet (or if you’re like me, your handbag). It’s a balm that can heal any irritation (it’s sold in France as a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers), but it makes a wonderfully hydrating, plumping lip balm.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
This face cream has acquired quite a cult following. Celebrity and backstage makeup artists love it for its hydrating, skin-priming abilities, while the lazy set love that it can act as a makeup remover, cleanser and moisturizer. Need another reason to give it a try? Beyoncé uses it.
