French Pharmacy Goodies & Souvenirs
Now that I’ve recapped our entire vacation (see parts one, two, and three), I’m doing a show and tell of everything I bought! Somehow, it didn’t occur to me prior to our trip that it would be a great opportunity to shop for skin care. Once we arrived in Paris I realized that I needed to hit up some pharmacies!
French pharmacies are different from those in the US in that they carry a mix of mass market and luxury skin care brands; I’m talking CeraVe alongside Caudalie and Skinceuticals. We do have many of the brands here, but they also had some that I hadn’t heard of. Also, the EU allows some ingredients in sunscreen that the FDA doesn’t allow in the US, so they have SPFs that aren’t available here.
