This Affordable French Pharmacy Brand Makes 8 Of Our Favorite Products On Earth
The scent is truly mind boggling.
by The Candidly Team
If you don’t know the brand Nuxe, welcome. The water’s warm.
They make wildly affordable, French Pharmacy skin, body, and hair products that will make you feel so deeply French you’ll suddenly find baguettes in your purse.
We’ve narrowed down our 8 favorite products, mostly, if we’re being honest, because they smell so heavenly we barely have the words to describe it. Fresh? Clean? Warm? Shimmering? Sparkling? Something like that. It’s just a bonus that all the products actually moisturize beautifully and give us shiny hair, glossy skin, and plump, happy lips.
Let’s dive in.
1.
Huile Prodigieuse® Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
We write about this product a few months ago in the context of ALL of our favorite French Pharmacy products on Amazon, and it legitimately broke our site. And for good reason. There is nothing, NOTHING, that smells like this soft, creamy, sun-drenched dry oil that we use in place of perfume. And you know how most oils make literally no sense because your skin just feels greasy all day and wrecks your clothes? This isn’t like that. It instantly dries down and leaves a subtle sheen on your arms and chest, but zero oiliness remains. But again. The scent. If you like anything close to sunscreen, beachy warmth, you will end up buying this in bulk. If soft florals and roses are more your scene, they have a version like that, too. Note to nut allergy sufferers: this oil contains tree nut oils.
Price: $25
2. Prodigieuse® Shimmering Dry Oil Huile
Same deal, this time with tiny, ultra-fine, pearly mineral particles that leave a sparkling sheen on the skin. We own both of course because a shimmering glint on the collarbones in the evening with some fabulous dress is really a must.
Price: $45
3. Rêve de Miel
Honey lip care
Yes, it contains honey. No, it’s not sticky. Rather, it’s a lovely, light oil that enrobes the lips in a silky, not-tacky sheen. And the taste! And the scent!
Price: $21
4. Rêve de Miel
Ultra-nourishing Lip Balm
Ideal for an overnight balm, this is much richer than the above oil, and if you use it more like a lip mask, you’ll awaken to happy, soft lips in the morning. Nut allergy sufferers, please note this product contains almond oil.
Price: $18
5. Rêve de Thé Refreshing Deodorant
Simply put, this aluminum-free deodorant actually works. Its soft-cream, roll-on formula instantly absorbs, leaves no sticky feeling, and lasts for a full 24 hours. We’ve tried it. And the rose scent? Ahhhh. So fresh.
Price: $14
6. Rêve de Miel Cica Rich Hand Cream
We might have to say it right here and now—this is our favorite hand cream. So softening, never sticky, gorgeous on cuticles, this cream is packed with vitamin E, coconut and almond oils, and of course honey. But again, zero stickiness.
Price: $14
7. Rêve de Miel Face & Body Cleansing Gel
Admit it. Your body wash doesn’t thrill you. After those Herbal Essence commercials in the 90s, we all want to inhale our shower products and have a profound, olfactory experience. And this body wash literally achieves that. Made for hyper-sensitive skin, this ultra-rich gel creates a lovely lather, and smells like warm, sparkling honey. We used to be pigs who never showered but now we DREAM of showering because we get to use this body wash. Oh, and it makes a perfect shave gel, too.
Price: $25
8. Nuxuriance® Ultra Replenishing Rich Cream
Perfect if you sort of have no idea what to put on your skin at night but know your face needs a big drink of water. Nourishing meadowfoam oil mixes with hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture overnight. We awaken with happy, plump, even skin in the morning. And we keep it simple. A couple nights per week of THIS magical French pharmacy retinol, and then this night cream on the alternating nights, and that’s all you need in the evening for hydrated, smooth, post-40 skin.
Price: $62
