My happy place is the middle of a French pharmacy. Shelves are filled with high-quality, rigorously-tested skincare products—at prices I’d struggle to find at my local CVS. Niche brands with if-you-know-you-know reputations can be purchased over the counter, promising the results of products solely available via prescription in the United States. These French beauty essentials are so powerful and effective that skincare routines notoriously only need to be a few steps to achieve clear, hydrated, and glowing skin.
While I sadly can’t trot over to Paris weekly to stock up, a handful of iconic French girl pharmacy products (with viral reputations that precede them) are now available stateside. For a limited time, Dermstore is offering a well-curated assortment at an insane discount: The “Best of Dermstore: French Pharmacy Edit” contains 11 items worth $248, but it's retailing for just $50. (According to some back-of-the-napkin math, I could buy 16 kits for the cost of a single flight to the City of Lights.)
