I was given the opportunity to try out a few Vichy face and body products a few weeks ago and here I am reporting back on my thoughts of the products and what I would repurchase again. While Vichy is available for purchase at drugstores, they are priced at the higher end of the scale.
First off, we have the Vichy Spa Shower Gel-Cream Body Wash, priced at $16.95. It contains 15 mineral active ingredients and natural oils to transform your skin, leaving it hydrated and soft. It contains Shea Butter, White Clay, Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water and 10 fundamental oils.
It is tested on sensitive skin under dermatological control, is hypoallergenic and contains no parabens.
Thoughts:
I found this product to really hydrate my skin and did not irritate or cause my eczema prone skin on my hands to flare up. This scent of this product is a light floral one, non-offensive and it works up a light lather. This product is quite pricey, at $16.95 so it would definitely be a splurge product. I would love to repurchase this product, however the price point is a bit high. I would have to wait for a sale or use a point redemption to exchange for this product. If you have dry, sensitive skin or you have eczema - you could try this product out for sure.
Next, we have the Vichy Eau Thermale (Mineralizing Thermal Water) - $7.50 and Aqualia Thermal Extrasensitive - $39.50
The Thermal Water comes in an aerosol can that distributes the soothing water in a very light mist form. It is said to improve the quality of skin and strengthen the natural defenses against external factors and premature aging. It contains 15 active minerals to do all of the above.This water travels thousands of years through volcanic rocks to create a unique skincare that instantly refreshes the skin and provides intense comfort. It can reduce redness, burning sensations and strengthens the skin's natural anti-oxidant protection. It is 100% pure and natural, tested on sensitive skin under dermatological control, is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and preservative-free.
Thoughts:
I really enjoyed using this in the warm summer months, especially when I've been in the sun too long I spray a light mist on my face and it instantly cools my skin on contact. I do not use it everyday, but I would definitely repurchase this for the summer months when I'm outside.
The Aqualia Thermal Extrasensitive is highly concentrated in Vitamin B3 and its renowned soothing ingredient, the Vichy Thermal Spa Water (all benefits from this can be seen above). This product is suitable for allergy prone skin caused by external aggressions. This product comes in a pump bottle, which I love as it helps to dispense only as much product as you need without contaminating the rest of it. It is tested on extra sensitive skin under dermatological control, is hypoallergenic and contains zero preservatives, parabens, alcohol and is free from any colorings.
Thoughts:
LOVE this product - for some reason, when using this product I did not experience any random pimple flare-ups. In addition, it soothed my skin - I was a bit sun burnt, and I did not experience any peeling of the skin either. This is a very light weight moisturizer and absorbs quickly too. I would like to repurchase this in the future, however for now I am open to trying out new products as I feel like as a beauty blogger I love to always try any new products that are launched.
Lastly, I received this Vichy Liftactive Serum 10 Supreme - $57, a while back but never had the chance to review it. I thought that it would be fitting to add my quick review right now.
This is suitable for all skin types and addresses loss of firmness or wrinkles. Yes, while I do not have any wrinkles yet, I do believe in taking care of my skin before it comes. This serum contains 10% natural Rhamnose now boosted with Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid - it allows for 2x more rhamnose into the skin than before, which means you see the results faster. This product is also said to correct 10 signs of aging in 10 days.
Thoughts:
While I cannot confirm the claims of correcting 10 signs of aging, it is important to note that when applied, my skin is dewy, youthful and plump. I am so in love with this serum! It absorbs quickly and allows for my makeup application to be smoother and easier. There is one thing I have to comment though, and that is the packaging. I really wish that it came in a pump bottle as the push/pump serum dispensing drop gets messy, plus it does not allow for alot of product to be dispensed. Each time, I only get one drop and I have to try again to get another drop as one is not enough. As well when I put the dropper back in the bottle, because it is quite thick, it can easily cause the product to slide out on the sides if you're not careful.
Have you tried any Vichy products? If yes, which ones are your favorite? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Until next time, XO - M.
