Hi
everyone,
I’m a big
fan of french pharmacy brands. There’s just something about them : the products
are exotic (sometimes hard to find in other parts of the world), they’re skin
miracle workers, sophisticated, pure, etc . It’s no secret that a lot of makeup
artists use French skincare brands such as Bioderma, Avène, Klorane, Vichy,La
Roche-Posay, Darphin, etc !
Well, we
Belgians are rather spoiled when it comes to buying French pharmacy brands
because most of them are available at our local pharmacy.
Darphin is one of those brands that is much raved about, however I’ve never tried anything from the brand until now !
A while back I was contacted by a pr officer for the brand who asked me if I was interested in trying some of their products. I was absolutely excited to try those products for the first time!

Here are
the products that I received to try out :
-Skin Mat
Purifying + matifying lotion
-Cleansing
foam gel with water lily (all skintypes)
-INTRAL Redness Relief soothing serum
- CC cream (in
01 light ) instant multi-benefit care with SPF 35
-INTRAL
cleansing milk with chamomile (sensitive skin)
My verdict
?
I’m a big
fan of the cleansing foam gel with water lily.It’s so gentle and soft and it doesn’t
leave my skin feeling dry or looking red after using it. I even used this
cleanser on a daily base , that’s how gentle it is. It says ‘foam’, but it doesn’t
really create lots of foam. It does a really good job at removing all what’s left
of makeup. I apply it on damp skin, after using the INTRAL cleansing milk with
chamomile, and really work the gel into the skin. After that, I use a damp cloth to remove it.
After my
skin is clean, I use the INTRAL redness relief soothing serum (I apply it in
the morning and evening). This is another fave of mine! It leaves my skin
feeling hydrated and it smells amazing (think : pink candy). This serum absorbs
quickly into the skin and it does help keep the redness in my cheeks under control.
My favorite
discovery was the Skin Mat Purifying + matifying lotion . Seriously, why have I
never tried this before! It works like magic. I used it under my most moisturizing
foundations and I hardly had to use powders
to finish off. If you see this product, you must give it a try! This now is a
makeup/skincare staple for me.
The CC
cream however wasn’t my favorite. I felt that my skin didn’t agree with the
formula. It made my skin too dry which made it difficult to blend. If you have
super oily skin, then this would definitely work for you. I you have dry skin
or areas, then I would recommend using a very hydrating moisturizer beforehand!
