Just finishing watching your Pharmacy routine and find myself a bit sentimental. My Mum passed when I was 22; 53 yrs ago. Relationship with her was far from ideal, though I've come to realize how amazing she was, apart from that. I have never had just a girlie share time over skin care or clothes. (Mother was not girlie, and my sister and I were totally on our own to figure that stuff out.) So, you must realize how much I enjoyed this skin care time with you, because you are REAL. No putting on aires, just as if I were sharing this time with only you. It means so very much that I not only have found my way back to the inner French woman I have always been, but lost my way over the years. Thank you for being true to yourself and sharing so authentically. Blessings to you.
yes! I was amazed when in went into a pharmacy in the French alps. It was so beautiful, everything was perfect, all quality items and nothing that should not be there. Here in Australia pharmacies have degenerated into awful gift shops, full of cheap and nasty irrelevant things like toys and chocolates and fad quack treatments because there are too many pharmacies and they have to be competitive.
I am in love with French pharmacy products. I have been wearing L’Oreal for years but once my current treatments are gone I’m going with L’Occitane. Once I wash my face in the morning I spray Caudalie, followed by Nuxe mixed in my hand with my moisturizer and my sunblock lotion. Along the day I spray either Avene or Uriage thermal water. It’s incredibly refreshing and they really help soothing my face better than an aftershave. We don’t have in Costa Rica Caudalie or Nuxe, so I order them online. But when I go to France the first thing I do is run to the pharmacy and buy them. I love when the salesperson offers me advice! Caudalie Eau de Raisin is full of antioxidants and is so light and moisturizing. When I travel I always carry a small bottle of Elixir de beaute because my face gets very dry on the plane, plus if your neighbor doesn’t smell very nice it helps refreshing the air around you!😹 Last October my bag was full of products from the pharmacie and I was very happy. Whatever you spend to take care of yourself and cheer you up, is well spent money, specially if you got French products, they are the best! Beautiful and lovely video Maire-Anne!
I was pleasantly surprised when you showed Nuxe! I bought it on a trip to France and have been using it since. So glad I can purchase it in the USA. I love it alone or with other creams. Thank you for sharing.
Two French skin care products I use are the Beauty Elixir by Caudalie and Immortelle Divine Cream by L'Occitane. The cream especially is a miracle worker. I usually don't believe that expensive skin care products are worth it, but this one surely is. Thank you for promoting "the French way"!! Love your channel!
In my opinion French skin care is the best I have been to France a few times and I am Very impressed with the French pharmacies If I go again I will stocking up on skincare. My favourite brands are. La roche posay, vichy and avene. 😊
When Marie-Anne posted this, I switched to French Pharmacie products. I previously wore the American style of full face makeup and find I’m really enjoying the sheer natural look. Also... my skin looks better than ever! Thanks Marie-Anne!
I have used Cauldie serum. I've heard of Vichy but never used it yet. I've seen Avene spring water, everyone says its wonderful. I use rose water all the time. I will try it. Roger and Gallet is new to me, I will have to try it. My dry skin needs Mixa cream. Your French Pharmacy sounds amazing. One day I want to see France. The countryside and Paris do all the things. One day I will get there💕🤗 thank you for sharing. I love skin care
I was just in Paris in May 2022 and came across your video on skincare to buy in Paris. I never heard of Mixa but saw it in Monoprix n bought it. It is brilliant! It does absorb into the skin so well and I love it! THANK YOU! I’ve been in n out of Paris for 8 years now and am so glad to learn of this from you.
Marie-Anne, just wondering if you could do a mother of the bride or semi formal fashion video. I am wondering how to dress up but still be classic. I am not sure how to not over do an outfit but still be really classy. Of course, I can't wear black. I always wear slacks and jeans and never wear skirts or dresses. Groan. Deep sigh. Confused!
Sorry-last comment-(!!) I love all things Nuxe bio. Their stuff is awesome. Organic almond body cream, orange day cream and face/body wash rève de miel. Use them all. Perfect and smell sooo good. Had great help from a French pharmacie in Nice on holiday. My friend and I had really swollen legs and we asked for help and I can remember like it was yesterday the lady wagging her finger at me and saying ‘Pas de charcuterie Madame!!” So funny.
I have been using the Nuxe in a combo with body cream and St Tropex tanner for my body and it works very well. The sparkling affect helps hid the mottling of my skin to make it look more even. I love the smell. It helps then tanner with the body cream not to be too dark but gives me a bit of color since i do not get a real sun tan anymore.
I really miss Mixa - I actually get it at Monoprix! - as I am in Australia and we can't travel of course. However, in Oz we can get Vichy, Avène and La Roche-Posay quite easily, so that is a consolation! Thank you Marie-Anne, so nice to think through these beauty products with you.
Here in Germany you can buy some french brands in the pharmacy. I use Avene thermal water and sun screen from la roche posay in the summer time. I love the way you do your foundation. Very subtle and natural and yet enhancing the skin. Will definitely try that method. And if you use so little product I think it is worth the money to invest into the good stuff :)
Super video! I use Caudalie beauty elixir, Embryolisse, La Roche Posay Cicaplast and Narta body spray. French pharmacies are wonderful, the last time I purchased a couple of items the sales lady even asked me if I'd like some samples of other products. That would never happen in Britain! Interesting to hear about Mixa, I see it everywhere in France but not tried it yet.
Thank you for this informative video! We have some French brands (Avene, La Roche Posay, Nuxe, Vichy etc.) in the city where I live. I love browsing skincare aisles and reading all the labels 😆 xx
Micellar water doesn't clean your face. It just removes makeup etc. You have to use a different cleanser to clear both the dissolved makeup and excess water.
If it helps, I have very sensitive skin & I use Bioderma sun cream mixed with Nuxe BB cream sun protection every day over face serum. Bioderma dry oil and micelar water for removal.
I get confused the chemist have so many counters and when I approach one I always feel like I've gone to the wrong one and upset them by asking questions.
Thank you for a very insightful video! How are CLARINS products viewed by French women? I started using their Lift Minceur gel cream for skin firming and as a light scented, cool, anti-bloating remedy. I find it particularly nice in the hot summer of Texas and my mini hot flashes lol. CLARINS is quite pricey in the US and Japan, where I was introduced to their products in my 20's. But I saw that they were very reasonable in Paris when I visited in '99.
Hello Marie-Anne! I use the Ave'ne, Rich compensating cream that you recommended, I like it very much! I mostly use it for a night cream, but sometimes for day as well. My main skin care brand for the last 15 years has been DHC (dhccare.com) from Japan, many of the products are based on olive oil.
Marie-Anne - I have been enjoying all your videos. I know you always ask for suggestions for new topics. I was wondering if you could discuss the best way to learn a new language. You speak English so well, I was wondering how you learned. Did you learn from an early age?
Loved this video. I could spend a whole day in a French pharmacy! I adore lotions and potions lol In Canada we are spoiled with French brands and it makes up the majority of my routine. Xx
I have never been to France, although it is on the top of my bucket list! I love all of your suggestions, and especially the mixture of beauty products, which gave a beautiful "no makeup" look!! 💗
Bonjour Marie-Anne, I'm an apple shape, I have mentioned this to you In the past and struggle to lose weight, can you do a video On what your diet consists of and what exercise you do To keep so slim and fit.
Thank you very much for sharing your beauty secrets and the great finds from French pharmacies. Our local pharmacies do not carry all the amazing products you have showcased, but we do have Avene, La Roche Posay and Vichy. I have always enjoy the Avene Mist and La Roche Posay sunscreens.
Roger & Gallet's gingembre rouge intense is one of my favorite fragrances; the other being L'Occitane's Terre de Lumière Eau de Gold. I've tried most of the brands you talked about, but not all. Thanks for sharing! I love this kind of information.
Avene is in drugstores here. Despite dix ans (10 years) of study, I pronounced it incorrectly. Avene and Vichy are in drug stores in the U.S. But they are almost a luxury store prices.
Thank you so much for showing how to make a very lightweight natural foundation. I love how you combined those ingredients. Nuxe adds a great combination to it. I love that product.
I have researched over and over and I find you to be the ONLY French person that evaluates French skincare, so I say a huge thank you! I saved the video so I can refer back when purchasing
Wonderful and appreciate seeing such consistency also across the products used and shared, proving how genuine and reliable you are even more, thank you so much!
Thanks for this video, I love to learn about French products. I have tried the Avene (sorry, no accent grave on keyboard) and La-Roche Posay brands, both are wonderful. All my fragrance and scented products are French; US products always have heavy fake vanilla, sugary or fruit scents, gross. I love pure florals made from flowers, not petrochemicals. I also love organic rosewater for a light soothing and moisturizing spray.
I use AVENE Eau Thermale, it is a lovey soft mist and it is great when a blemish occurs. I now use AVENE Cleanance Expert Tinted lotion instead of foundation. If I want a heavier coverage I use AVENE Tinted Compact Cream which has a SPF 50. I have started using Bioderma Micellar to clean my skin and a La Roche-Posay moisturiser. My skin thanks the French pharmacy. Some of these products I've heard of others I haven't. Love from 🇦🇺
I know the soaps of Roger & Gallet since "ever": Lavande, Fougère ect... But I have a certain French beautiline since years, they are the very best. I order them online and they arrive quickly...Germany is not far from la France 😄😉
😄! Yes, their quality is ...formidable! I know the matter with the language: I was raised with Danish as well, lived in DK and have had a Danish husband, we were talking Danish here in Germany, so sometimes I happen to use the Danish word for something. My French expired by not using it enough 😪
Thanks for the tip☺️ I’ve been using French products since teenage years. La Roche Posay, Bioderma and Avene is the three brand that i can rely on. Love you Marie-Anne, greetings from Turkey🥰
Dear Marie-Anne, thank you for another lovely video. I normally always visit a pharmacie when I’am in France during trips and holidays but now due to Corona I order online. I have several favorites: Eau Dynamisante from Clarins for many years already as well as Créaline from Bioderma, a very soft eau micellaire. Furthermore I really adore the Nuxe Huile Or as well as the Nuxe Huile Riche, it really softens my skin! Also Biafine is always good to apply on little skin imperfections and Embryolisse Lait- Crème Concentré as a light base or as daycare in very hot summers. Homéoplasmine Pommade is a great product for skin irritations and as a lip balm. And recently I ordered a Nuxe body déodorant longue durée which I just started using and feels and smells great😊
Hi... I have a question. I've never been much of a lipstick person. I don't like the shape of my lips and I rarely wear lipstick because I don't want to bring attention to my lips--honestly I'd never wear a RED shade, but maybe a "Wine" or other more subdued shade. I'd like to rethink wearing lipstick more often, as I can see that it is part of finishing touch--a little detail. I certainly have found shades that I feel complement my completion, hair color, and are not overwhelming (to me). But what tricks, tips are there? I'd like to make peace with my lips and make them my friend. :)
Hello Had problems with couple of products. Vichy compensating complex and Nuke huile gold could not be found on any of the sites. Please advise. Thank you . Dobrila
Hi Marie Anne. I love your videos so much I was wondering if you will be making any for the new year? I just love your fashion sense and have copied many of your outfits, handbags, sneakers etc. Im sorry I dont mean to be a copycat but you style everything so beautifully. lol from the U.S and thankyou!
Can you please make a video about Soleil spray protector I saw it form SVR, Vichy and others and they have SPF sticks too. Please make a video for those products so we know how they work and most if the spry give enough protection. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I agree that having a fly stick to your lipgloss isn't a good look!! lololol. My first real visit to a continental pharmacy was in 1982 in Italy. I was about to start my preregistration Pharmacy year in Scotland after my degree . i could not believe how amazing the pharmacies were with high end skin care and accessible meds. Our pharmacies were more like corner shops stuffed with tights and baby nappies etc. Thankfully, we caught up !!! I always loved to visit pharmacies in France and Italy. thanks for this video. Your skin is amazing. Mine has broken out today and i feel yucky. xx
avene, caudalie and vichy are available at pharmacies in dubai. there are other french brands too like la roche-posay. i personally have used caudalie grapeseed toner and i love it :)
I use Avene mineral water spray, Caudalie cleanser and toner, Bioderma micellar water, gGuinot face mask, Nuxe lip balm, La Roche Posay sunscreen, Clarins body spray amongst others. Its very bad for my bank balance to enter French pharmacy with lots of new brands to try out :-)
I have sensitive skin and eczema and I am so happy that French skincare brands are now widely available in the UK. They really seem to produce a product for every skin issue. I used to have to buy horrible basic medicated ranges which helped the condition but often were unpleasant to use or made my skin look greasy. I also love the fact that many of these brands are cheaper than the big premium brands but are so much better for your skin.
I bought some Nuxe Oil the last time I was in Paris. I loved the product, but the fragrance was very heavy. Hopefully, my trip in August will not be canceled and I can buy some of the other products you recommend.
I love French pharmacies and the products, when I have gone to Paris and also visit a friend in haut de France. I have stocked up on products. My favorites are Caudalie which I can by in the US but not all, Avene and Darphin
I actually use the Bioderma micellar water and the Nuxe rêve de miel lip balm morning and night every single day, they’re both french pharmacy brands and really easy to get in Germany.
Great video, I am interested to try Mixa, never heard about it before. I love Caudalie products especially their toner. I also use a lot La Roche Possay. Not a fan of Neux oil, too fragrant for me. Their lip balm is awesome.
Avène is wonderful. I love their tinted 50 spf sunscreen, use it every summer, and their facepowders too, the water spray is great but Uriage doesn't dry out the skin at all you can leave it to dry on your face. Caudalie has such great products, LOVE their hand cream and lip balm and their grape water spray is great ! I haven't tried their other creams yet but I might ! going back shopping this week in France !
Oh... the European drugstores : ) So different from what we find here in the US, although they now carry a lot more specialty products than they used to. My very favorite brand of French skincare is Vichy! And my second favorite is La Roche-Posay.
We visit Northern France every year just before Christmas and have done so for quite a few years. I know where I will be heading when we visit this year. The Pharmacy. Thank you for this video and all the tips and tricks. I look forward to trying new products. Take care Marie Ann
There are so many Mary and I am not sure if many or any ship abroad 🙁 there are some foreign stores that carry French brands - you are probably best doing an internet search x
I love french Pharmacies! everytime I visit France, the Pharmacy is a must for me! Avene water spray is one of my favourite products, and nuxe lip balm.
La Roche-Posay is available in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart (I think it's a French pharmacy brand -- many of their products are made in France). I've been using this brand's soap, moisturizer, & sunscreen religiously since I was 8 & my skin looks so glowy & smooth! I only wear lipstick & curl my lashes, since I despise foundation. I also get my eyebrows threaded regularly, which rounds out my look.

I like the way French women focus on skincare more than heavy makeup.
I agree I think it’s important as makeup will not look good on bad skin
Me too
I love the way French people pronounce “France”. Sounds so chic!
I am in love with French pharmacy products. I have been wearing L’Oreal for years but once my current treatments are gone I’m going with L’Occitane.

You look so cute with no makeup - like a little girl. I hope you do a makeup look with nude lipstick in the future. :)
Marie-Anne, just wondering if you could do a mother of the bride or semi formal fashion video. I am wondering how to dress up but still be classic. I am not sure how to not over do an outfit but still be really classy. Of course, I can't wear black. I always wear slacks and jeans and never wear skirts or dresses. Groan. Deep sigh. Confused!
I love French skincare... I use SOTHYS and have done for years . And the Nuxe lip balm is fabulous xx

Had problems with couple of products. Vichy compensating complex and Nuke huile gold could not be found on any of the sites. Please advise. Thank you .

Hi Marie Anne. I love your videos so much I was wondering if you will be making any for the new year? I just love your fashion sense and have copied many of your outfits, handbags, sneakers etc. Im sorry I dont mean to be a copycat but you style everything so beautifully. lol from the U.S and thankyou!
Can you please make a video about Soleil spray protector I saw it form SVR, Vichy and others and they have SPF sticks too. Please make a video for those products so we know how they work and most if the spry give enough protection. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I agree that having a fly stick to your lipgloss isn't a good look!! lololol. My first real visit to a continental pharmacy was in 1982 in Italy. I was about to start my preregistration Pharmacy year in Scotland after my degree . i could not believe how amazing the pharmacies were with high end skin care and accessible meds. Our pharmacies were more like corner shops stuffed with tights and baby nappies etc. Thankfully, we caught up !!! I always loved to visit pharmacies in France and Italy. thanks for this video. Your skin is amazing. Mine has broken out today and i feel yucky. xx
@@MarieAnneLecoeur thank you darling xxx
avene, caudalie and vichy are available at pharmacies in dubai. there are other french brands too like la roche-posay. i personally have used caudalie grapeseed toner and i love it :)
❤️❤️❤️happy I discovered you! Thank you, Jim in New York City!
Used that Avène on my eyes when I was falling asleep driving from Nice up to Calais once.
I use Avene mineral water spray, Caudalie cleanser and toner, Bioderma micellar water, gGuinot face mask, Nuxe lip balm, La Roche Posay sunscreen, Clarins body spray amongst others. Its very bad for my bank balance to enter French pharmacy with lots of new brands to try out :-)
I have sensitive skin and eczema and I am so happy that French skincare brands are now widely available in the UK. They really seem to produce a product for every skin issue. I used to have to buy horrible basic medicated ranges which helped the condition but often were unpleasant to use or made my skin look greasy. I also love the fact that many of these brands are cheaper than the big premium brands but are so much better for your skin.
I’m surprised you didn’t show any sun protection. Do you have a favorite sunscreen?
Marie-Anne Lecoeur actually everyone should wear sunscreen every day!
@@pinkandgreen1 you're right. Sunscreen is the number 1 anti aging product but most French people don't bother
I bought some Nuxe Oil the last time I was in Paris. I loved the product, but the fragrance was very heavy. Hopefully, my trip in August will not be canceled and I can buy some of the other products you recommend.
A Spring-like healthy look.
I love French pharmacies and the products, when I have gone to Paris and also visit a friend in haut de France. I have stocked up on products. My favorites are Caudalie which I can by in the US but not all, Avene and Darphin
Do you use anything special to keep your neck skin firm, or do you just use your face products on your neck?
I just received my Mixa from France this morning. So excited
I actually use the Bioderma micellar water and the Nuxe rêve de miel lip balm morning and night every single day, they’re both french pharmacy brands and really easy to get in Germany.
Great video, I am interested to try Mixa, never heard about it before.
I love Caudalie products especially their toner. I also use a lot La Roche Possay.
Not a fan of Neux oil, too fragrant for me. Their lip balm is awesome.
Love to sit and listen i even drank a cup of coffee ☕️ thank ma’am! ❤️
Avène is wonderful. I love their tinted 50 spf sunscreen, use it every summer, and their facepowders too, the water spray is great but Uriage doesn't dry out the skin at all you can leave it to dry on your face. Caudalie has such great products, LOVE their hand cream and lip balm and their grape water spray is great ! I haven't tried their other creams yet but I might ! going back shopping this week in France !
Oh... the European drugstores : )
So different from what we find here in the US, although they now carry a lot more specialty products than they used to.
My very favorite brand of French skincare is Vichy! And my second favorite is La Roche-Posay.
Amazing list of products. ❤ thank you.
PS. Maybe the best English I heard from a French person😊
J' espere de ne pas vexer les autres...😅
That is very kind Claudia merci 😘 I spent 30 years in the UK 😃🇬🇧
We visit Northern France every year just before Christmas and have done so for quite a few years. I know where I will be heading when we visit this year. The Pharmacy. Thank you for this video and all the tips and tricks. I look forward to trying new products. Take care Marie Ann
I hope you continue to have pleasant trips every year Sharon 😃
Will check French pharmacies next trip.
Thank you for your make-up tutorial.
Please, dites-moi the names of some French farmacie WEBSITES, if possible. I would like to order some products from them. Merci!
There are so many Mary and I am not sure if many or any ship abroad 🙁 there are some foreign stores that carry French brands - you are probably best doing an internet search x
I love french Pharmacies! everytime I visit France, the Pharmacy is a must for me! Avene water spray is one of my favourite products, and nuxe lip balm.
The French pharmacys are great with very helpful people ❣️I like to spray orange flower water and rose water on my face ❣️🥰💕🌹🍊
Me too Bonnie - I loved doing makeup videos but they were never very well received for some reason 🙁
Thank you so much for the tip on creating the perfect 'invisible' foundation, the effect is beautiful!
😘
You look so beautiful with or without makeup. =)
El video que estaba esperando! Adore★♡☆
Love the red shade of this lipstick on you
Btw your skin looks amazing!
yay ! i can get all these in athens, greece !!!
La Roche-Posay is available in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart (I think it's a French pharmacy brand -- many of their products are made in France).
I've been using this brand's soap, moisturizer, & sunscreen religiously since I was 8 & my skin looks so glowy & smooth! I only wear lipstick & curl my lashes, since I despise foundation. I also get my eyebrows threaded regularly, which rounds out my look.
