Vichy Skincare

Few weeks ago amazing Chickadvisor sent me this wonderful little package with full size Vichy products. Today I would like to share my experience with you guys. 
I received products that are ideal and suitable for dry skin.

Package contained: 
  • Purete Thermale Cleansing foam radiance revealer
  • Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream
  • Thermal SPA water

Purete Thermale Cleansing foam radiance revealer

Great product that is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. It's a lightweight cleansing foam, that is gentle, smells amazing and cleanses perfectly. 
Pump makes it very easy, hassle and mess-free to use. I like that just a little bit of product gets the job done. It's so easy to use and easy to rinse off.
After use, skin feels cleansed, fresh and looks radiant. 
And I absolutely love that product didn't leave my skin feeling dry as a lot of other cleansers tend to do that.



Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream
Here is what Vichy has to say about products new formula (Vichy website):
For the first time, Vichy Thermal Spa Water is combined with 3 new-generation energizing sugars to stimulate water movement from cell to cell for a fresher more radiant complexion. (Hyaluronic Acid: a leading replumping ingredient. AquabiorylTM: patented molecule that is ultra-moisturizing and amplifies the feelings of comfort, softness and soothes during and after application. λ-carrageenans: extracted from red algae, it locks in hydration to keep the water well-distributed.) The formula also contains Shea Butter to comfort dry to very dry sensitive skin. Non-greasy, non-sticky texture for a non-oily skin finish. 

Sounds really amazing. I can agree for it to be a great moisturizer for those with very dry skin.
I found it to be little too rich for my liking, especially for summer time. I didn't like it as a day cream. but I was using it for night time though - rich in texture but still lightweight.
Like all the other Vichy products that I have used, this one too, smells amazing. It has a very fresh, but not overpowering scent.

Packaging is really nice! It has a mirror lid, that I find to be a pretty awesome detail.
Cream is allergy tested and paraben free, so suitable also for those with sensitive skin.

I really like the product formula, so I think I will give it another try in fall or winter, when my facial skin will be more receptive towards richer products.



Vichy Thermal SPA water
Vichy's Thermal SPA water is a completely natural, unique ingredient recognized and used in pharmacology for its soothing, fortifying, and regenerative properties (Vichy website).

This water is rich with rear minerals and is so easy to love. I have been a huge fan of "spray water" (not sure if that's how they are called) for a good while now. And this Vichy Thermal SPA water is probably my favorite so far.
I have a dry skin and I'm not a huge fan of those hot summer days. So in summer "spray water" is with me all the time - that's how I can keep my cool on (literally and figuratively). And it's the best way to refresh the face without ruining my makeup.
Biggest difference between all the other ones I have used is that this one actually feels moisturizing. It's lightweight mist but has substance.
Product is allergy tested and is preservative free, so it will have great soothing effect on sensitive skin.
I also like to refrigerate it for a bit, for those crazy hot and humid summer days.

Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50

We all know or at least starting to realize how important sun protection is. Every year sun is getting stronger and more harmful. It is our job to take care of ourselves and our skin. 
Summer isn't the only season we should use sunscreen, but it is the season when we should definitely put more thought into it.
This time I would like to share my amazing experience with Vichy Ultra Light lotion for face with SPF 50 UVA+UVB High Broad Spectrum Protection.


First of, here is what Vichy says about their product:

"The photostable formula with Mexoryl XL®, a patented broad spectrum filtering system, along with other powerful filters, protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Photostable, the formula doesn't lose its efficiency during sun exposure. 

Enriched with Vitamin E and grape polyphenols, the lotion provides deep hydration in order to prevent dehydration caused by the sun."

This amazing sunscreen is:
- Hypoallergenic
- Paraben-free
- With soothing and fortifying Vichy thermal spa water
- Fragrance-free
- Preservative-free
- Water-resistant

Its ultra-light and fast-drying texture hydrates the skin without leaving any white or sticky residue. And that is something I look for in my face care products. Who wants to deal with hard to apply sunscreen? I want it to be close to invisible and Vichy Laboratories had that delivered in this amazing product. 

It comes in a nice little bottle (40ml) and will fit in even the smallest purse or pocket. Make sure you shake it before using it.
Lotion absorbs really quickly and feels super lightweight. Great on its own, as it won't leave sticky, greasy nor shinny look, or under makeup as it's so light.
I think I have found my ideal face sunscreen. I've been using it everyday since I bought it and don't have a single complaint. And days have been really hot and sunny. Highly recommend!

No matter how good your sunscreen is, it's important to remember these few tips:
  • Do not burn :)
  • Seek the shade, especially between 10A.M. and 4P.M.
  • Use sunscreen with SPF15 or higher every day
  • Remember to reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours
  • Wear UV blocking sunglasses
  • Keep an eye on your birthmarks.
And just in general, remember to take care of yourself and your skin.

Vichy Works For Me

Don't we all know the feeling of running short on those hours per day? There are things that have to be done and life that has to be lived. Mr. Time doesn't care too much and then comes the morning with very tired face. Sounds familiar?
Vichy has a solution for us with those busy schedules and lifestyles.

New Idéalia Skin Sleep is especially designed for women whose nights have been cut short, and who miss that key midnight and 1 a.m. skin regeneration window.
Enriched with a powerful multi-active complex such as glycyrrhiric and hyaluronic acid working to regulate epidermal differentiation, Idéalia Skin Sleep visibly recreates the effects of regenerative sleep on skin.


Doesn't that sound amazing? I had a chance to try these amazingly promising products via ChickAdvisor product review club. Thank you ladies!



This amazing campaign package came with Idealia Life Serum and Idealia Skin Sleep.
I have tried Serum prior this campaign and I really like it. It's little different from all the other serums I have tried and seen. Mostly it's texture - creamy unlike other clear liquid ones. It also feels like cream when applied only very, very light one. Absorbs practically right away and leaves a light "pixie dust" shimmer. Very elegant scent and packaging along with the performance.
I use it in the morning routine, after I have washed my face with cleanser.

Idealia Skin Sleep was the product I really wanted to try. And before I continue, I must say, it's my new favorite night cream.
Cream comes in amazing container with mirror built into the lid, not only it adds uniqueness to the product but also convenience. Texture is almost like combination of gel and cream. Has the Idealia product line signature scent - soft floral. It disappears very quickly so it won't be distracting you. Cream is easy to apply and it also absorbs pretty quickly, leaving a protective layer with some shine. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin and is very moisturizing. Another important thing is that it didn't irritate my skin - so powerful and gentle at the same time.
Idealia Skin Sleep night cream is the last product I use before bed, after I have completed my skin care routine. Without a doubt I can say - Vichy Works For Me. In the morning no matter how early I wake up, skin doesn't look tired and is fresh and plumped with no evidence of puffiness nor pillow creases. It will have little bit of shine though, but daytime face routine takes care of that.
I would highly recommend to give this product a try. Let me know your thoughts on it.
