Say bonjour to French skincare, without the trip.
During Prime Big Deal Days, so many French skincare brands are on sale, you can fill your cart with staples from the City of Light and beyond — all while saving enough to put towards an actual vacation.
While some French brands like RoC and La Roche Posay are now mainstays stateside, the prices and availability on Amazon beat any we’ve seen in stores. (Stars are not immune to the allure, with devotees like Hailey Bieber and Sarah Jessica Parker sharing their favorites on social media.)
Scroll on to shop the best October Prime Day sales on French beauty brands. (Some offer additional coupons, so don’t miss the check box.)
Many a glowy-skinned star has name-checked RoC’s retinol line, including Kim Kardashian and Bethenny Frankel. This silky, overnight serum is designed to help you wake up smoother and brighter. (Don’t worry, the travel-friendly capsules are biodegradable).
One five-star review reads, “I’m impressed by how much they’ve improved my skin’s texture and appearance.”
Sarah Jessica Parker has partnered with RoC a few times; in 2023, she even put together a limited-edition RoC x SJP set that included both this serum and the line’s Revive + Glow Eye Balm.
Frankel’s also a fan of the vitamin C, as she recently said on Instagram that she’s “obsessed.”
A year-round savior that’s like a drink of water for skin, Avène Thermal Spring Water has been linked to stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Irina Shayk.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Sofia Richie and Hailey Bieber are all fans of this protective cream, with the latter even calling it a product she “couldn’t live without” in an Instagram Story.
Meanwhile Richie told Vogue, “This is like my holy grail. I always apply it under my makeup because I feel like my makeup is so pretty on top of this.”
“Honestly, it’s better than Aquaphor, CeraVe Healing ointment, and pretty much every other lip balm I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot),” reads one five-star review of this all-purpose French balm. It calms irritation and soothes skin, whether from dryness or bug bites.
From Christie Brinkley to Anne Hathaway, a long list of stars swear by La Roche-Posay sunscreens to keep their skin protected.
With over 22,000 five-star ratings, it’s safe to say it’s a winner with Amazon shoppers as well.
Our fellow skincare Francophile, Sarah Jessica Parker, told Today in 2018 that she’d been using Toleraine Double Repair for “at least 10 years.”
“It’s light, unscented and just the greatest moisturizer I’ve ever found,” she raved. “My children use it as well. It’s amazing.”
The sensitive-skin soother has niacinamide to tame redness, prebiotics to restore the skin barrier and thermal spring water to help rebalance the skin microbiome. It’s also earned over 36,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, including from shoppers who have rosacea and eczema.
Scarlett Johansson and Karlie Kloss are among the stars who’ve praised Embryolisse — and it’s even the only skincare product French icon Jane Birkin would allow near her face, according to her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg.
We love the fragrance-free sensitive-skin version, which just happens to be on sale for Prime Day. Use the multi-functional hero as a hydrating mask, everyday moisturizer, makeup primer or even a makeup remover!
“Creamy, indulgent, and my skin has never looked better!” one shopper of this anti-aging retinol alternative from French-girl favorite, Embryolisse.
Spa brand Yon-Ka Paris’ skincare is used for facials at the legendary Printemps spas, and its micellar water traps impurities, tones skin, protects from free radicals and provides anti-aging benefits.
Martha Stewart and Tracee Ellis Ross are among the stars who use its products, according to Yon-ka.
Page Six Style’s review: “I’ve never loved a micellar water until now. Yon-Ka’s doesn’t leave any residue, yet softens and brightens my sensitive skin — and it works shockingly well at removing impurities. It’s now a must-have in my daily ritual.” — Erica Radol, Page Six Commerce Reporter
This intensely hydrating mask for the face, neck and décolleté — which rejuvenates dull, wrinkled and parched skin — was recommended to us a few weeks ago by Laure Seguin, French wellness facialist.
The formula has a nearly perfect 4.6-star average on Amazon right now, with one devotee writing: “My new love potion, wow! Five stars! I’m 62 and have dry, sensitive skin with fine lines around the eyes and upper lip. The results were amazing for just one overnight use. My fine lines have diminished. I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the mirror. I am in awe.”
This multi-purpose dry oil is so popular, the brand also offers floral and shimmer versions — the latter of which one reviewer called “summer in a bottle.”
