To wrap up 2025, we asked our team one simple question: Which French beauty product did you genuinely love, reach for repeatedly, and recommend without hesitation?
The result? A thoughtful mix of cult-favourite skincare, effortless makeup, hair heroes, and comforting self-care rituals. No trends, no scripts — just honest staff picks that earned their place in our routines this year.
Erin — SVR | [COLLAGEN] BIOTIC Cream
Best moisturiser for a more plump and comfortable skin
“I love this collagen cream. Its texture is so smooth and rich yet it absorbs very quickly. My skin always feels plump, nourished, and soft every day.”
|
As our Marketing Manager, Erin values reliability — and SVR Collagen Cream delivers exactly that. With its rich yet fast-absorbing texture, it leaves skin feeling plump, comfortable, and deeply cared for from morning through to night. A true everyday essential for mature, busy skin.
Emilie — EMBRYOLISSE | Artist Secret Illuminating BB Cream
Effortless French glow in one step
“I’ve been using this for years! Such a game-changer! It glides on like silk, evens out my skin, and gives a dewy, natural glow.”
|
For polished skin without the effort, Emilie swears by this BB cream. It glides on like skincare, evens out the complexion, and delivers that effortless French glow — no heavy makeup, no fuss, and barely a mirror required.
Celia — CAUDALIE | Vinoclean Deep Cleansing Exfoliator
A gentle exfoliator for fresh, smooth skin
“This is a saviour for rough skin. After using it, my skin feels incredibly smooth and soft, and my complexion looks so glowy too. Obsessed!”
|
This is the ultimate reset button. With its creamy texture and fine exfoliating particles, this exfoliator gently smooths and refines without stripping the skin. It’s Celia’s go-to when her complexion needs softening, polishing, and a fresh start.
Mathilde — CATTIER | 100% Organic Shea Butter
One multi-purpose skincare staple
“This is a must-have for my very dry skin! It’s so rich, and soothing. I warm it in my hands and use it everywhere: body, lips, face, hair. Amazing!”
|
From hair, lips and hands to dry winter patches, this rich and comforting shea butter does it all. Pure, organic, and deeply nourishing, it’s Mathilde’s ultimate multi-use skin saviour — simple, effective, and endlessly versatile.
Valentina — CHRISTOPHE ROBIN | Regenerating Hair Serum with Prickly Pear
A lightweight hair serum for glossy, healthy hair
“I adore this hair serum. It really transformed my hair. My hair is now stronger, smoother and silkier.”
|
Silky, weightless, and seriously effective, this Christophe Robin serum transforms dry or stressed hair. It absorbs quickly, strengthens strands, and leaves hair glossy and manageable — no heaviness, just results.
Vanessa — A313 | A313 Retinol Pommade
A gentle retinol for prevention and sensitive skin
“At 27, I need to prevent early signs of ageing. A313 is gentle and always makes my skin feel smooth, and glowy the next day.”
|
For Vanessa, prevention is key. With its rich, pommade-like texture, A313 feels comforting and gentle on sensitive skin while helping smooth and renew over time. A smart retinol choice, used early, thoughtfully, and consistently.
Elea — THALGO | Reviving Marine Mist
A refreshing facial mist for on-the-go hydration
“I can’t get enough of this mist! It’s so cooling and refreshing. I‘ll need to stock up more for summer ’cause I’ll definitely need its soothing action.”
|
Light, cooling, and instantly refreshing, this Thalgo mist is Elea’s skin pick-me-up during busy warehouse days. One spray feels like a breath of fresh sea air — perfect for boosting hydration and reviving tired skin anytime.
Arnaud — MADIER | EDP Mystérieux Perfume
A refined fragrance with quiet confidence
“This is my everyday fragrance since I like warm and vibrant scents. It’s easy to wear and I got a few compliments on it, as well.”
|
Warm, smooth, and subtly powerful, MADIER Mystérieux is confidence in fragrance form. Our Director’s pick doesn’t shout, it lingers. A sophisticated scent that leaves a lasting impression without ever overpowering.
Saha — CERAVE | Facial Moisturiser with SPF 50
Daily moisturiser that fits real life
“I like this because it’s not greasy and I can moisturise while protecting my skin against the sun all at once.”
|
Lightweight, hydrating, and never greasy, this moisturiser slots seamlessly into Saha’s everyday routine. No shine, no residue, just reliable skincare and sun protection, because great skin always starts with SPF.
Brayden — MAVALA | Soothing Foot Bath Salts
A simple self-care ritual after long days
“Working all-day in the warehouse makes my feet sore so this is my favourite product to unwind. It relaxes and soothes my sore feet really well.”
|
After a long day at the warehouse, this is how Brayden switches off. Mavala Soothing Foot Bath Salts creates a moment of calm, muscle relief, and total relaxation.
