Mini Paris Pharmacie Haul


Here's a glimpse of my last minute Paris pharmacie haul on August 29, 2015. All but one item were purchased at Pharmacie Khun in the 14th arrondissement near Montparnasse Station. I chose this pharmacie simply because the young woman working there was so kind and helpful. The other pharmacie I stopped at was Pharmacie Montparnasse, near the Montparnasse - Bienvenue Station. This pharmacie was having a buy one item, get the second item 50% off sale on all La Roche Posay products at the time. Despite the sale, the pharmacie was so busy and the staff wasn't as knowledgeable, nor helpful, I opted to make the majority of my purchases at Pharmacie Khun. Price wise, everything is at least half the price of what you can find in the US! Since I didn't shop around all that much, I cant provide an in-depth comparison on prices between other pharmacies in Paris. However, I noticed that Pharmacie Montparnasse's regular prices were slightly higher than Pharmacie Khun's, but only by a few euros.

Pharmacie Khun:
LA Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ 300mL  €14.90
La Roche Posay Anthelios tinted 40mL €11.90
La Roche Posay Hydraphase 50mL €13.90
Bioderma Crealine H2O 100mL €2.99 or €3.99?
Bioderma lip balm €1.50
Avene Cleanance Gel 300mL (not pictured) €6.99 

*I had wanted the Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentrate, but it wasn't in stock. The employee said she could have it ordered and ready for pick up that same afternoon, however that was not an option for me as I was leaving that day. Instead, she recommended the La Roche Posay Hydraphase as a respectable alternative for my purposes.

Pharmacie Montparnasse:
Avenue Eau Thermal travel size €2.99

Hope this helps and happy shopping!!
