Addicted to... Etat Pur

After receiving the Etat Pur Purifying face mask in my July Joliebox and loving it so much I decided to visit the website and buy some more! I've heard really good things about the brand, which was from the man who also created Bioderma and Institut Esthederm. It's a French brand which utilises 'Pure Actives' and 'Biometric skincare products' to create a unique personalized service; their A+B concept.


Their website lists in detail each products ingredients which I found refreshing as so many brands don't do this. It also states that all their formulas are produced Without: synthetic glycols: butylene glycol, PEG, ethoxylated ingredients, BHT, EDTA and derivatives, chlorohydrate, irritant synthetic surfactants: lauryl ether sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate..., GMOs, acrylates, ingredients of animal origin, silicones ,non-organic preservatives such as paraben, phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde liberators...,artificial colourings, perfumes containing allergens* and sensitising agents, petrochemical hydrocarbons, paraffin and mineral oil & chemical UV filters.

I ordered the Salicylic Acid 70 (A21) £9.40: which is for treating Blackheads and Blemishes, The Rich Nourishing Cream (B25) £8.80; for long lasting moisturisation with Biometric ingredients such as mango butter and olive oil, and The Micellar Cleansing water (B01) £6.40 for cleansing and removing make up and contains no soap.

I also received 2x 5ml samples (and free delivery) when I purchased my items which were lovely! I got The Oil Free Quenching fluid (B20), The Ultra-rich Moisturising Balm (B26). I also received a 20ml Micellar Cleaning water (B01), which was a bit annoying as I'd ordered it but also handy for travelling!

I've been using them all now for about 5 days and I really like the Salicylic acid, The Rich Nourishing cream and my Express Purifying mask (B09).  I think they work wonderfully and recommend them to anyone with combination/dry skin and the odd blackhead that won't go! I do like the Micellar water, but feel it's nothing amazing and maybe to worth the price tag. The samples I'm yet to try!

Have any of you tried Etat Pur? Or do you have any great skincare products you could recommend?
