If you saw me at the end of my last visit to France in October 2011, you might have been appalled by how many bottles of this stuff I put in my luggage to take back home to the US. Since then this product has really blown up in the beauty blogger community, but I’d like to think I was an early adopter of this wonderful product so much so that I got slapped with a “HEAVY” sticker on my suitcase. Bioderma is the most gentle makeup remover cleanser I’ve ever tried; suitable for all skin types. The formula is water-based and is ultra soothing; it doesn’t sting, burn, or tingle at all. It works fabulous as a gentle makeup remover that doesn’t leave you oily or dehydrated after use. It’s so great of a product that it sounds almost too good to be true… well, let me just inform you straight up that it is nearly impossible to find in America, but there is hope online! But with that convenience comes a cost. Even for 500ml of this magical solution, $39 is a little outrageous considering you could get two 500ml bottles in a French pharmacy for less than €17. Even with the poor USD-EUR exchange rate fluctuations in the Euro’s favor, that price is an absolute steal. As long as I don’t have a France trip on the books, I guess online shopping will have to do and I’m so glad I found an online store that carries it. Looks like I’m set for now, but for my next friend visiting La France, you now what favor I’m going to ask of them.
