This is not a moisturizer for normal skin. It is a treatment for distressed skin. Think: post-laser, retinol burn, severe windburn, or raw patches from eczema. Within two applications, redness drops significantly. It calms itching almost immediately. However, it can clog pores if you’re acne-prone (due to almond oil + shea).
One of the gentlest cleansers I’ve tried — even gentler than LRP’s Toleriane. It does not strip, tingle, or dry. Removes sunscreen and light makeup well, but struggles with waterproof mascara. The “surgras” (superfatted) aspect is a lifesaver for atopic skin in winter. The only downside: the bottle (flip-top) leaks if tipped over.
Better than La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lips for healing cracked corners (angular cheilitis). Less sticky than Aquaphor. Lasts through a meal. No flavor or scent. One of the few lip balms that actually repairs vs. just coats. bibette blanche
Yes – the cleansing milk and lip balm are staples. The Crème Régénérante stays in my post-procedure emergency kit.
Stiff in tube, melts on lips. Not glossy, not matte — natural sheen. This is not a moisturizer for normal skin
Morning cleanse or second cleanse for very dry/sensitive skin. 3. Eau Thermale (Thermal Water Spray) Yes, another thermal water — but at €4–5 for 200ml (vs. Avène’s €9). Same benefits: selenium-rich, anti-inflammatory, pH neutral. It’s a simple spray, no nozzle issues. Is it revolutionary? No. Is it a cheap, effective way to calm flushing or set skincare? Absolutely. 4. Baume Lèvres Réparateur (Repairing Lip Balm) Ingredients: Castor oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 (a wax ester).
