We all remember the times when drugstore skincare favourites consisted of Clean&Clear and Neutrogena toners packed with alcohol, aggressive (and abrasive) scrubs and moisturizers high in SPF, but low in ''good'' ingredients. But then a huge shift happened. We learned about french pharmacy beauty. Back then the only way to get your hands on these was by a) traveling to France b) ordering them online. And of  course, the option of trying to convince your friends and family members who traveled there to get you some of the products. If you were lucky and they were also into beauty, you could have ended up with some of the goodies you asked for.

Today, things are a bit different and most of the french pharmacy brands are available in drugstores all around the world. So you can safely use drugstore skincare products and know that you are not causing any damage to your skin. Here are my personal favourites at the moment, but keep in mind this changes a lot, because I'm discovering new products all the time.

Svi se sećamo vremena kada su drogerijski favoriti za negu kože bili Clean&Clear i Neutrogena toneri prepuni alkohola, agresivni (i abrazivni) pilinzu i kreme za lice sa visokim SPF-om sa malo korisnih sastojaka. Ali onda se desila promena. Naučili smo ponešto o francuskim drogerijama. Tada je jedini način da se dokopate njihovih proizvoda bilo a) putovanje u Francusku b) naručivanje online. I naravno, opcija da probate da ubedite prijatelje ili članove porodice da vam nabave neke kad oni putuju. Ako ste imali sreće mogli ste da završite sa nekim proizvodom koji ste zapravo tražili.

Danas, stvari su se promenile i većina francuskih drogerijskih brendova dostupni su širom sveta, pa možete slobodno da koristite drogerijsku kozmetiku i da znate da vam neće izazvati probleme sa kožom. Ovo su moji trenutni favoriti, ali to se uvek menja jer stalno otkrivam nove proizvode.


Avene Clenance cleansing gel


I think this is the 100th time I'm mentioning this product on my blog. But, seriously, how not to like it? It's soap free, it foams well, cleanses even better and doesn't break me out.

Mislim da je ovo stoti put da spominjem ovaj proizvod na blogu. Ali, ozbiljno, kako ga ne voleti? Ne sadrži sapun, lepo peni, čisti još bolje i sprečava da mi izađu bubuljice.


Bioten Genovate eye serum


Bioten is one of my favourite drugstore brands and this serum is perfect for all of you who don't need to moisturize your eye area too much, but you do need quite hydrating eye cream.

Bioten mi je jedan od omiljenih drogerijskih brendova, a ovaj serum je odličan za sve kojima nije potrebna preterana hidratacija regije oko oka, ali im je ipak potrebna hidrantna okoloočna krema.

Bioderma Sebium serum


Night serum I discovered a while ago. The story behind this product is sebo-regulation, aka the concept of helping your skin to improve the quality of its own sebum. I know this may sound a bit sci-fi, still this product does make my skin look better, less oily and breakouts free.

Noćni serum koji sam otkrila pre par meseci. Priča iza ovog proizvoda je seboregulacija, tj. pomaganje koži da sama reguliše kvalitet sopstvenog sebuma. Znam da ovo može da zvuči kao naučna fantastika, ali od ovog proizvoda mi koža zaista izgleda bolje, manje se masti i ima manje bubuljica.


Nuxe Reve de miel lip balm


The richest lip balm I've tried in my life. I apply it before bed and it makes my lips hydrated through out the whole day. I've seen people using it before lipstick, but I think you shouldn't do that. It's to creamy and heavy to be worn under lip products. You can do what I do and wear it at night, or on its own.

Najkremastiji balzam za usne koji sam u životu probala. Nanosim ga pred spavanje, što je sasvim dovoljno da bi vam usne bile hidrirane tokom sledećeg dana. Videla sam da ga mnogi nanose i pre ruža, ali mislim da nije pogodan za to. Previše je kremast i ''težak'' da bi se nosio ispod karmina i sjajeva za usne. Možete da radite isto što i ja i nosite ga noću, ili samo njega preko dana.

Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse Night cream


This is the only rich face cream that didn't break me out. I'm not kidding. I used to avoid rich night creams and to only wear oil before bed, because I was convinced I'll never find a night cream that won't break me out. That was all until I (accidentally) discovered this cream. Was it fate, or was it crazy luck to stumble upon this beauty on the shelves of my favourite drugstore? We will never now, but I will for sure use it for a long time to come.

Ovo je jedina ''jača'' noćna krema od koje mi ne izlaze bubuljice. Uopšte se ne šalim. Ranije sam izbegavala bogate noćne kreme i nosila samo ulja pred spavanje, jer sam bila ubeđena da nikada neću naći noćnu kremu sa kojom mi koža neće buknuti. To je bilo dok nisam (slučajno) otkrila ovu kremu. Da li je to bila sudbina, ili luda sreća da naletim baš na nju u svojoj omiljenoj drogeriji? Nikada nećemo saznati, ali ću je sigurno koristiti još jako dugo.
