Even you would brave the Seine with these locally available French brands protecting your skin
With the Paris Olympics well behind us—besides the culture and the amazing sights France has to offer, there’s one thing we haven’t discussed yet, their skincare. In all honesty, theirs is among the best in the market and the quality of each product has earned them a right into my daily routine. Here are some of the best French pharmacy brands available in the Philippines.
Bioderma
Dry skin is an enemy we all know too well and Bioderma’s Hydrabio Perfecteur SPF 30 prevents this by stimulating the production of aquaporins across the skin, keeping them hydrated and healthy. It also contains anti-UVA-UVB filters, guarding you from the harsh Manila sun, and conceals blemishes and micro-wrinkles without the need for makeup. Available at Watsons and DMark Beauty.

Heliocare
I’m all for getting my natural doses of vitamin D but unfortunately, the Philippines just has too much of it. Regardless of the sun’s year-long presence, Heliocare’s Heliocare 360º Gel Oil-Free SPF 50 guards the skin against the four types of radiation (UVB, UVA, Visible, and Infrared) all while leaving a dry finish. Not to mention, it’s also safe to use for either oily or acne-prone skin. Available at Bella Pelle Skin Solutions and DMark Beauty.
Puressentiel
Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful rays often leaves behind long-lasting effects but Puressentiel’s Organic Glitter Dry Oil allows us to turn back the clock. The product utilizes a combination of four essential oils (Immortelle, Rose Geranium, True Lavender, and Ylang Ylang) and four plant oils (Rose Hip, Almond, Sesame, and Olive) to reduce signs of aging and rejuvenate the skin. Available at DMark Beauty, Shopee, and Lazada.
Isispharma
Isispharma’s Neotone line (serum, sensitive balm, gel, radiance SPF 50+, prevent SPF 50+, eyes, body, and aqua) combats skin pigmentation and addresses sun spots, age spots, pregnancy masks, and scarring for a unified skin tone. Available at Bella Pelle Skin Solutions and DMark Beauty.
Biretix
Biretix Tri-Active Gel uses RetinSphere® Technology to reduce spots and blemishes while also controlling oil production and improving skin texture. Available at Bella Pelle Skin Solutions, DMark Beauty, and your leading dermatologists.
Sebamed
The Sebamed Clear Face Toner combats blackheads and pimples, and soothes the skin while being accessible to multiple skin types. Say goodbye to the pesky acne and say hello to smooth and healthy skin. Available at Watsons and DMark Beauty.
