The popularity and credibility of French cosmetics for the face is determined not only by the right marketing plan. To a greater extent, this was achieved thanks to the painstaking work of a large team of cosmetologists, laboratory assistants, dermatologists, scientists who worked tirelessly to create effective products, conducting numerous studies and, of course, testing on volunteers. However, despite all the advantages, cosmetics from France have one drawback: high cost. But as practice shows, this does not prevent women from spending money on quality products for the sake of youth and beauty (well, for their beloved ones as well).

Ambulance from France: brands you need to know
For replenishing our cosmetic bag, we hardly go to the pharmacy first. But in vain! It is here that you can find remedies that will help you effectively cope with various dermatological and cosmetic problems. Therefore, these brands can safelyentrust the care of your face.
Informed beautyholics in reviews of French pharmaceutical cosmetics write that they call their trip for Bioderma brand products an important "trip" to France. The laboratory was established in 1978, but at the dawn of its existence it produced drug bases. Now the "profile direction" of the brand is cosmetics that save the problematic dermis.
Not all brands can boast such a rich and long history going back centuries as La Roche Posay. Thermal water from the spring of the same name has been treating people from various skin diseases for centuries, and now, being part of skin care products, it takes care of the beauty of the face of customers around the world.
In the 18th century, another thermal spring was discovered in the French village of Aven, the water from which is used by the Avene brand. It is noteworthy that next to it in 1743 the world's first balneological resort was opened. The advantage of the products of this French brand is as follows: the products contain at least 55% thermal water. The main task of the ingredient is to soothe the dermis, soften and relieve redness.
Well, apparently, the secret to the success of French cosmetics for the face lies precisely in thermal water, because the next brand also uses it in their products. The foundation of the Vichy brand was laid by the physician Prosper Allaire and the businessman Georges Guérin in 1931. The main ingredient of all Vichy products contains 15 minerals that act extremely favorably on the skin - theysave from the negative effects of free radicals and increase the protective properties of the dermis.
The next "Frenchman" of drugstore brands is Klorane. The brand is distinguished by its "green" direction, that is, plant extracts are responsible for the effectiveness here. Each component is used by specialists of the Kloran laboratory to solve a specific problem. For example, wet wipes with cornflower extract for removing make-up for sensitive eyes are very popular with fashion week makeup artists.

Bioderma is a niche brand and not intended for daily use. The range of French cosmetics for face and body care is presented in 9 lines of products that have proven their effectiveness in the treatment of dermatological problems and serious skin lesions.

- Sebium. A real salvation for oily and combination skin types. In their reviews, customers complained about the funds for narrowing the pores. The composition of these products includes white clay, so after application the skin is slightly tightened. But regular use of the products of this series will significantly reduce oily sheen, even out the texture of the skin, giving it a matte finish.
- Photoderm. A series of sunscreens with different levels of UVA and UVB.

Avene
In Russia, Avene Ystheal creams are the most popular. Of course, this line will not cope with deep wrinkles, but it perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the skin, giving it a fresh, rested look.
French facial cosmetics "Aven" is also represented by decorative products. The Avene Couvrance series is chosen by buyers with severe dermal problems. Similar products from other brands would cause them an allergic reaction. As for Aven Couvrans, it goes through a strictdermatologically controlled, therefore completely safe for the skin.
Teenagers prefer the Diroseal and Diacneal series. Judging by the reviews, the complex use of a washing gel, a mask and a gel cream helps to get rid of rashes associated with an increase in metabolism and body restructuring against a hormonal background. The skin becomes sufficiently hydrated, the texture is evened out and the number of sebaceous plugs is reduced.
