Life in Purity with Galénic
After six months of Chanel’s purity line, it was time to completely re-buy my skincare line (it’s amazing how cleanser, toner and moisturizer practically end simultaneously), however my budget didn’t allow to go anywhere NEAR Chanel this month and I decided to go on to something more affordable.
After suffering horrors with Vichy’s Normaderm line and feeling like I washing my face with cooking oil with Caudalie, I was scared of actually trying another Pharmacy brand, but after a very good experience with a Galénic eye cream, I decided to give it a try.
After a week trying, I’ve had better results with it than with Chanel, my skin feels less oily and some blemishes started to disappear without a trace. Having a couple of uneven pigmented spots I decided to add to my regimen the lightening serum.
One of the things I love about it is that the astringent lotion doesn’t have alcohol and has an incredible feel on your skin. The gel is incredibly light does leave a mattifying effect, I’ve also used it in lieu of a primer for a slight brush of compact powder foundation and have been very happy with the result.
The 3 in 1 Mask is also very nice and performed graciously under pressure, so I guess Galénic is going to be a part of my skin regimen for the upcoming months and if it behaves like it has so far, the only regret I’ll have is not having tried it sooner.
Combined, I have products of the Ombelia, Cauterets and Pur lines (Ombelia is focused on skin lightening and preventing hyper-pigmentation, Cauterets caters to oily skin and Pur is their cleanser and makeup removers)
Although Galénic isn’t drugstore cheap, it’s conveniently affordable and I’ll definitely be looking into some other of their products in the future.
