Are we saying “Au revoir” to affordable French skincare?
With potential tariffs set to affect imports like wine and cheese, one glance at my bathroom vanity reveals where any impending taxes would hit me hardest: skincare, from sunscreen to serums.
Now-accessible brands like RoC, La Roche-Posay, Nuxe and Avène, and prestige lines like Caudalie and Clarins, may suddenly become a lot more pricey.
One product I’ll be hoarding? RoC’s Line Smoothing Daily Cleansing Pads. (Even better, they’re currently on sale for under $11.)
Celebs from Sarah Jessica Parker to Bethenny Frankel have expressed their love of the French pharmacy brand — along with some of our own editors.
These daily cleansing pads remove makeup, exfoliate and soothe skin, while promising to minimize wrinkles and fine lines. (I’m also adding the brand’s cult-fave Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream to my cart, as it’s currently on sale for under $22.)
One review raves, “RoC resurfacing pads are absolutely amazing! They make my skin glow and feel incredibly smooth. Perfect for sensitive skin, these pads both exfoliate and buff your skin to reveal a beautiful shine, all without causing irritation.”
A second shopper echoes the sentiment, saying, “I have very sensitive skin, so I’m always apprehensive using new products. With hitting my 40s, I wanted to try something for my changing skin. I have finished the entire container, so I wanted to leave my honest review. These pads are amazing!!! My skin feels so soft, and my makeup has been looking flawless!”
