We know full-time traveling can be exhausting, especially for your skin and while most brands have amazing products, nothing pretty much compares to French skincare. Now, you don’t necessarily need to be in France to get it, actually, you can find the best (and the most affordable) French beauty products on Amazon.
Some of the best French beauty products are sold in drugstores in France and they rival the pricey ones we covet here in the U.S. It’s hard not to be jealous, but Amazon has a pretty amazing selection of French beauty products (yes, Amazon!), which means you don’t have to travel overseas to try some of our favorites.

Homeoplasmine Ointment
This ointment soothes irritated, cracked skin almost immediately for flawless makeup application (some makeup artists use it to give models a dewy look!). Although it’s packaged similarly to Neosporin and Vaseline, it’s actually surprisingly light.

A313 Vitamin A Pommade
If you want to treat fine lines and wrinkles yourself, this pomade can help: it’s a synthetic version of vitamin A, which is known for its wrinkle-treating properties. Use on skin overnight, instead of during the day, since vitamin A can make your skin sensitive to sunlight.

Klorane Shampoo with Desert Date
French drugstore favorite, Klorane has a desert date shampoo that helps repair and strengthens the hair over time. Dates are rich in fatty acids and proteins which help strengthen hair (and get split-ends in shape).

Bioderma Micellar Water has a cult following for a good reason. It removes makeup effectively without stripping the skin and penetrates cells to remove dirt. An added plus? You don’t have to do any additional cleansing after you use it.
