There's a Reason Why Parisian Women Always Recommend This Chic French Pharmacy Brand

If there’s one thing the French do better than anyone (apart from fashion and fine wine), it’s beauty. From their effortlessly tousled hair to their "no-makeup" makeup, their beauty routines are the stuff of legend and interest around the world. Another area the French excel in? Skincare and bodycare. And there’s one brand that you will consistently see in the baskets of every person in a French pharmacy, it's Nuxe.

Beloved by Parisians and beauty editors alike, this cult French skincare brand has quietly become a staple in the routines of those in the know. Whether it’s the brand's iconic Huile Prodigieuse dry oil or honey-infused lip balm, Nuxe strikes the perfect balance between nature- and science-inspired formulas that exude French luxury, all while remaining accessible. It’s the kind of beauty insider brand your chicest French friend might reluctantly share—if you’re lucky.

If you're not heading to France anytime soon, fear not. I've been testing out some of the best Nuxe products, from the iconic body care staples to skincare and perfume heroes that you can get your hands on in the UK—no Eurostar ticket required.
