I bought these last year when I was in France for a few days. I don’t know if they’re really that irreplaceable.
Biafine is good for hot skin if you’ve spent too much time in the sun. It has a cooling aspect to it. 
The Cicaplast Baume B5 is amazing for really dry skin and I would highly recommend it. Both are elegant formulas, but you definitely don’t need to go abroad to find something comparable. I really should have stocked up on sunscreen since the EU has more UV filters allowed than we have in Canada and the US.
