Question In search of Pierre Fabre & similar alternatives for skin care
Guys,help me find some good European brands that have a relatively clean reputation: don’t support genocide,aren’t somehow connected to Estee Lauder,Pierre Fabre etc. Brands that don’t try to cut corners or use the cheapest ingredients.
I will not claim some higher moral ground here,the reason is actually that im just pissed at having to pay the same prices when they just reformulate shit and use weird ingredients to replace the old (example being Avene Xeracalm) but while im searching for alternatives anyway..MIGHT AS WELL hopefully find some good brands that I can use for the rest of my life and support them.
So far I have survived on second hand products (eBay,vinted..) and bought older formulations there but these will eventually expire. Better just find some new ones.
So far I had luck with:
Bioderma :(micellar water and sensibio cleansing gel in pink,plus their body balm)
Noreva: CERA, also Kerapil (my European alternative to Amlactin)
Uriage :xemose c8 (adding as I go)
What is your go-to brand that is or maybe isn’t well known?
Edit: as for body care,preferably something with 400/500 ml,bigger containers for lotions
