I Want Skin Like a Parisian—This Chic New French Brand Just Saved Me the Air Miles
Ask me what the best skincare brands on the market are, and I guarantee that most of the ones I list are French. It's true, French pharmacy skincare products cannot be beaten. From La Roche-Posay to Bioderma, my everyday skincare routine features many French staples, as I'm always striving to achieve that Parisian glow. So, when I heard that a new French skincare brand had just launched in Space NK, I knew I had to give it a go. Enter, Mimétique.
I've been testing a new-to-the-UK French skincare brand called Mimétique.
What Is Mimétique?Housed in minimal packaging with a chic, clinical aesthetic, this French dermocosmetics brand focuses on using biomimetics to help mimic (and enhance) the skin's natural properties. I know it all sounds very complicated and confusing, but essentially, this brand is all about feeding your skin those ingredients that it already knows and loves to further repair and protect itself.
The brand was founded by Fabienne Sebaoun, a cosmetic chemist who developed a patented formulation called SMR-C5 Complex, made up of five active ingredients that are already present in the skin that help to strengthen its structure.
Something I love is that there are currently only four products in the collection. As a beauty editor, I know just how overwhelming the skincare industry can be, but I like the brand's simpler approach. With a cleanser, moisturiser, serum and face oil on offer, I was able to complete almost my entire skincare routine with this range, so keep on scrolling to hear my thoughts.
