Winter Skin Care from the French Pharmacy

by Catherine on July 6, 2012

Avene French pharmacy winter skin care products

French pharmacy brands are well known for delivering extremely gentle yet effective skin care. Avène skin care products do just that and they’re now widely available in Australia. It may sounds strange (since I’m neither a teenager nor acne-prone) but their Clearance K moisturiser pour peux jeunes is my secret weapon for brightening a dull winter complexion. Although light and mild, it contains enough Glycolic and Lactic acids (AHA) and Salicylic acids (BHA) to exfoliate dry patches and unclog pores. At around $20 for 40ml the price is fantastic for these active ingredients. Just a word of caution though: AHAs and BHAs make skin extra photosensitive, so during the day remember to layer on a high SPF.
