Vichy cosmetics: properties and range

The Vichy brand is well known to the Russian consumer due to its high-quality advertising campaign. Nevertheless, not all buyers are aware of what its specificity is, and why French products are sold only in a pharmacy. Let's take a closer look at the properties and range of Vichy cosmetics.

Vichy cosmetics are produced in France, and the thermal water that is part of the products is extracted in the provincial resort town of the same name - Vichy. The manufacturing company was founded back in 1931 by Dr. Aller, who discovered the amazing effect on the skin of the contents of medicinal sources.

After water procedures, patients noted that the skin calmed down, small wounds healed, and the rash was gone. Since 1955, cosmetic products have been sold exclusively in pharmacies, which has become a memorable feature of the brand, and in 1969 a full-fledged factory was opened near the springs.

The unique properties of pharmaceutical cosmetics are largely due to their composition. The main component of Vichy is cold spring water containing very rare minerals. This component is considered absolutely natural, since it is almost impossible to obtain it in a laboratory. The products sold on the market have all the necessary certificates, and have also been tested on sensitive skin.

Vichy is a luxury medical cosmetics that guarantees its quality and complete safety for the health of people who use it.... The brand offers a wide range of products - from sunscreens to deodorants.Moreover, the lines contain products suitable for all skin types: dry, oily, normal and combination.

The composition, selected for a specific skin, allows you to achieve the most effective result. For example, products designed for dry skin have a large amount of moisturizing ingredients, and gels for oily skin have substances that neutralize oily sheen. It is necessary to add that any person will be able to choose cosmetics, regardless of age and lifestyle.

The effects arising from the use of this cosmetics are very beneficial. Thanks to the acceleration of metabolic processes, wrinkles are smoothed out, and inflammation disappears. Immunity in general is increased, and the protective capabilities of the skin are increased. In addition, many women report that regeneration of the skin is actually faster and more efficient.

If you look at the composition of all Vichy cosmetics, then its main component is thermal water. It contains not only potassium and calcium, but also iron, manganese, silicon and other important substances. Thanks to this, cosmetics help to improve the condition and even regenerate the skin. The rest of the components of the product differ and depend on the tasks that the cosmetics perform, but the use of vitamins A, E and C remains similar.

As for hormones, their presence in cosmetics has not been confirmed by anything. In Russia, the creation of hormonal cosmetics is prohibited at the legislative level. The products of the French brand are not addictive, so the fact that Vichy contains hormones is just a rumor. Other myths about the company are not confirmed, for example, that it tests its products on animals. In 2009, this process was banned at the legislative level.

One of the features of the Vichy company is its rich assortment, consisting of many lines. The Normaderm series is designed for problematic facial skin, therefore it is most often purchased by persons in adolescence. The care line successfully fights against enlarged pores, oily sheen and, of course, acne.

The composition of cosmetics contains components such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid and perlite. This line is suitable, by the way, not only for people with problem skin, but also for those who lead an active lifestyle and play sports.

Line Normaderm Teint specially designed for oily skin.

The Nutrilogie line is suitable for dry skin. Medical cosmetics will cope with dryness, making the skin surface softer and even velvety. In addition, regular use of the products will accelerate regeneration and relieve the feeling of tightness in the skin.

The Aqualia Antiox line is suitable for any skin in need of renewal and additional hydration. The presence of antioxidants in the composition radically transforms the face, helping to get rid of age spots, working against fine wrinkles and “erasing” fatigue.

You can take care of dry or sensitive skin using Aqualia thermal. The composition of the products, in addition to thermal water, also contains plant components, proteins, vitamins and other active ingredients.

The Purete Thermale series allows you to qualitatively and deeply cleanse any skin. The assortment offered by the brand includes foams, tonics, lotions and various micellar waters. The absence of alcohol and parabens in the composition makes the entire care process not only effective, but also safe.

The Slow age line is indispensable after 40 years of age to combat age-related changes. In principle, if you start using it after 30 years, you will be able to cope with the problem even at the stage of its inception. Additional components included in the composition provide reliable protection against environmental influences, for example, sunlight or exhaust gases.

Age-related cosmetics include the lines Myokine, LiftActiv, Neovadiol and Cellebiotic. All of them are aimed at women of different ages and "cover" the interval from 25 to 60 years and more. The ruler also allows you to cope with age-related changes Idealia.

The Dermablend line is decorative and consists of tonal creams, corrective agents, powders and other beauty products... They are united by the presence of such components as vitamin E, zinc gluconate and salicylic acid.

Among the products of the French company, there are also products for hair. In addition to basic care, they help get rid of dandruff, hair loss and other common problems. Vichy also has men's cosmetics under the name Vichy Homme. The range includes essential products such as deodorant, shaving foam and other standard cosmetic products.

Some of the most popular brand products are cosmetic products from the Normaderm series. Intensive cleansing gel for washing contains thermal water, salicylic acid, Bifidus probiotic and other useful ingredients. It is suitable even for sensitive skin, does not clog pores and does not dry out. This product should be combined with a double-acting corrective care from the same series.

The cream around the eyes from the Slow age series has also proven itself positively.... This tool not only visually "erases" signs of aging, but also slows down the process of age-related changes. The skin in this sensitive area is maximally hydrated and looks much younger. By the way, owners of sensitive skin are also allowed to use the product.

No less innovative is thickening shampoo Densi-Solutions. In addition to strengthening and improving the hair itself, the product contributes to visual correction - the hair becomes thicker and more voluminous.

Both among buyers and among cosmetologists, there are different reviews about the products of the French brand Vichy. For example, Vichy Mineral 89 Fortifying And Plumping Daily Booster daily gel serum delights customers. The presence of an attractive packaging made of double cardboard, as well as a stylish glass bottle, is accompanied by quite successful contents.

The consistency of the gel is light and very pleasant. It spreads quickly over the skin and is absorbed immediately. The serum has no aroma, which is even a plus, because no third-party odor interrupts the perfume and does not cause allergic reactions.

Hyaluronic gel from the first application provides the skin with the necessary hydration, with regular use, making it smoother and more radiant... The product does not clog pores and does not leave an unpleasant sticky film on the surface, which makes care only more pleasant. In addition, the composition does not contain dyes, parabens and alcohol, which is the advantage of this brand in relation to other common market representatives.

The most unusual thing is that there are diametrically opposite reviews for the same remedy. Although the gel is very easy to apply and spread over the skin, once it starts to be absorbed, the skin tightens, dries and even itches. As a result, after using the moisturizing serum, on the contrary, there is a feeling of dryness. Even the additional use of the cream does not help.

An interesting review for Vichy 7 Days Anti-perspirant Cream Treatment. It is an antiperspirant and promises women seven days of protection from sweat and odor. The dispenser at the package is very inconvenient, since a too large opening provides an uneven squeezing out of the product. Despite the silvery-white shade of the substance, it does not leave pronounced stains even on black clothes.

The protection itself is effective and meets the promises of the manufacturers, but on especially hot summer days it can fail. In addition, the antiperspirant applied to the skin must first dry sufficiently, for which you will need to stay with your hands up for 5 minutes, which is not particularly comfortable. Another drawback of the tool can be called it fast consumption.

Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff DS Advanced Action Shampoo Normal To Oily Hair also belongs to the effective representatives of the brand. The promised dandruff relief begins as early as the second week, and by the fourth week of use, there is no hint of dandruff. Itching and flaking of the skin also disappear.
