PhilosophyThe silent giant of French drugstore anti-aging — Henkel's 120-year-old workhorse.Clinical-grade sheet masks and targeted treatment pads, bringing dermatology-backed ingredients to daily skincare at mass-market prices.

Diadermine

You've never heard of Diadermine unless you shop at Carrefour. That's a shame, because the Lift+ line's day cream is the closest thing to an €8 anti-aging cream that actually delivers. Not cult, not clinical, not Instagrammable — just quietly effective since 1905.

Pros

✓ Shockingly affordable
✓ Decent anti-aging actives
✓ Widely available in EU

Cons

✗ Fragranced
✗ Mineral-oil heavy
✗ Dated packaging

Mediheal

Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running — beating more than 3,000 brands. Their sheet masks created the modern sheet mask category, and their Madecassoside Blemish Pad saw 820% year-over-year growth. If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
