Does anyone use this line? What are the opinions?
I like their Invisible High Protection Cream n°43.
Once my friend and I went skiing on Mont Tremblant on a sunny day. As an experiment, she applied Skin Tx SPF 30 cream and I applied the Invisible High Protection Cream n°43. We both spent 6 hours skiing. Next day she woke up with a burnt face and mine white as a snow!
It's suitable for delicate skin and does not contain SPF. |

Hi RussianSunshine,
Welcome!
Incidentally, I became friends with this lovely girl recently in Paris who uses Maria Galland exclusively. She has the softest, most poreless, gorgeous skin I have EVER seen, and she is 34. Amazing. She really said Maria Galland has turned her skin around completely, and that the texture of her skin and the clarity of her complexion used to be very different.
I will try some samples she is willing to give to me and let you all know what I think... I am very happy with my current routine, but who knows?

My beautician uses Maria Galland facial masks and she has used their cold and hot masks. The result are quite good but I would not say that the results were terrific.
It appears that these soft and cold masks are quite popular in beauty salons and spas, but I have not used their facial products directly. |

I never tried this line but it is sold at an upper class area-a spa. I should try to get samples and I can't remember why I was not attracted to this line.
If I am able to get some samples, I will share my review.  |

Maria Galland products are made in France. My friend told me that their eye cream is the best but I haven't tried any of their products yet.
Also they are not that common here. |

I tried my best to find a place that sells it to the U.S. I couldn't find anything. I went to the website, they have an English version. Apparently they don't have a spa that even carries it in the U.S. Closest is Canada.
Your best bet might be ebay. Sigh. |

Hold on! I am trying to find a Maria Galland retailer here in Toronto.
Today was such a nice day that I could not search as much as I wanted to. One place I visited told me that they stopped selling it. So it must be sold in another area that I know of.
I will get back to you.  |

UPDATE: I went to three different locations and none sold this line.
I looked it up in the yellow pages and it is sold in Scarborough, Ontario. Scarborough does not have a great reputation when it comes to personal safety and did not want to drive down there.
I have two more location that I need to search and I hope I can find it real soon. |

I always thought there was a Maria Galland Spa on Yonge Street just north of Eglinton. Good luck with your search!
ETA: 2460 Yonge Street |

Mishie Welcome! You could be right. I was at Andrews, Spas in Etobicoke, did not go to Scarborough, and Spas in Mississauga. I wanted to go to Oakville to see if they have it there.
It might be sold somewhere close to Eglinton & Yonge but I will have to check out the location you suggested.
Do you know the name of this spa that you are thinking of? |

What I remember it was actually called Maria Galland Spa but that was a few years ago. Good luck!
Thank you for the welcome! |

My facial lady uses Maria Galland products. I use the toner and the cleaning mask. They make my skin feel very soft. I've used their cream cleanser before as well.
My lady sells the Galland products. I live in toronto and her spa is called Spring de Spa (it's a chinese place) located in the plaza at the north east corner of Leslie Street and Finch Ave.
I might have to try out more products. |

This is good to know....I've been searching in TO. Where you are is very far from me and would not be able to get there during business hours and to fight the traffic!
Can you get samples from there? |

I could probably get samples because I've been going to her for years...but I'm not sure someone off the street would get any.
If you pay her cash, she might not charge tax...
She's open on Sat and Sun as well...and I suspect fairly late in the evenings during the week. |

| I recently stumbled across several stores selling this line in the Pacific Mall (located in Markham at the corner of Kennedy & Steeles). If you are not shy and like to 'haggle' for a better price, the Pacific Mall is THE place to go! Known as the largest Chinese Mall in North America, it has skincare products from around the world and many lines that I've never seen in other retail stores in Toronto. Definitely worth checking out. |

Thank you, maybe one day I will go up there and take a look. Do you go up there often? |
