So, if you're ready to try the crème de la crème of skincare, keep scrolling for our roundup of the best French pharmacy products that are all available for purchase in the United States.

Elevate your skincare routine with the French innovation that started it all—Bioderma's micellar water cleanser. Beloved by many of our editors here at E!, it's a fragrance-free gentle cleanser that effortlessly removes sunscreen, makeup, and any buildup on the skin. Consider it your go-to for a refreshing and effective cleanse, leaving your skin feeling clean, balanced, and ready to breathe.

Embryolisse's Lait-Crème Concentré is a staple in every makeup artist's kit, coveted for its dual role as a rich moisturizer and radiant primer. Many reviewers praise its barrier-repairing powers, courtesy of emollients like shea butter, beeswax, and highly refined mineral oil.

Caudalie's eye cream has become an editor-approved fave, and this particular gem is the epitome of French elegance. Renowned for infusing their formulas with natural grape seed polyphenols from family-run vineyards in Bordeaux, it's no wonder Caudalie's eye cream feels like the luxurious champagne of skincare.

Avène, a French pharmacy skincare essential, is celebrated for its mineral-rich thermal spring water infused into this nourishing cream. Packed with probiotics, it strengthens the skin's microbiome and supports a resilient barrier.

Adored by French women, this water-based cream boasts a plumping effect, thanks to its key ingredient: a prescription-strength 0.02 percent of hydrating sodium hyaluronate, derived from hyaluronic acid. With a surprisingly lush texture, it's ideal for nighttime use.

Experience luxury French H2O from La Roche-Posay, sourced at their renowned Centre Thermal medical spa. Packed with minerals, including selenium, this thermal spring water offers natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to soothe sensitive skin.

France's powerhouse alternative to Vaseline, Homéoplasmine combines Vaseline with herbal healing ingredients like calendula. A makeup artist favorite, it doubles as a moisturizing base for lipstick and works wonders on lips, cuticles, and dry patches.

If there's anything you should buy in person at a French pharmacy, it's sunscreen. With superior European innovations, Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluide SPF 50+ by La Roche-Posay outshines U.S. options. However, this Anthelios Light Fluid face sunscreen becomes our go-to when Paris isn't on the itinerary.

With its ointment-like texture, a small amount of this over-the-counter retinoid covers your face and neck. Infused with retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A derivative, it enhances collagen production and accelerates skin cell turnover too.

Exclusively prescription-only in the U.S., this ultra-thick ointment features trolamine, known as the wound-healing ingredient. But if you don't have an Rx, opt for the over-the-counter version conveniently accessible on Amazon.
