Ever heard of Vichy? Vichy is a premium brand of skincare, body care, make up and anti-aging products. Vichy is best known for its thermal spa water, and many called them the miracle water!

About the Miracle water:

It contains 15 minerals and constitutes a natural active ingredient in itself. Some of its minerals play a key role in skin metabolism:

+ Protecting skin’s tissue: Calcium
+ Cell oxygenation: Iron
+ Antioxidant action: Manganese
+ Skin hydration: Potassium
+ Regenerating skin tissue: Silicon
+ Cell regeneration: Magnesium
+ Healing: Copper and Manganese
+ Anti-inflammatory action: Copper
 
In other words, Vichy Thermal Spa Water is suitable, and work wonders for all skin types, whether sensitive or reactive. Its irreproachable quality is rigorously checked daily to guarantee optimal tolerance and efficacy! 

3 Main Properties of the Thermal Spa Water:

Soothing

It reduces irritation (dryness, erythema, scaling), inflammation (vasodilation and redness) and sensation of discomfort from various dermatological pathologies such as acne or contact eczema. 

It soothes intolerant and sensitive skin. Its buffer properties help correct the acid-base imbalance than can be created on the skin by pollution, for instance. 

It also rebalances skin when aggressed by harsh cleansing.

Fortifying

It increases by more than 20% the catalase activity, an enzyme which plays an essential role in the skin’s natural defences. 

It thus helps reinforce skin’s antioxidant defenses, protecting it against ageing and the harmful sun effects linked to free radicals. 

It fortifies the stratum corneum, enriching it with calcium, magnesium and sodium.

Regenerating

It stimulates cell metabolism by increasing cellular oxygen consumption by 77%. It acts on epidermal repair and remodelling mechanisms.

Enough of saying the endless benefits of Vichy Thermal Spa Water! Remember that in my earlier post, I posted an article about some of the myths about skin and skincare? (HERE!) 

Today, I am going to share with you a series of products that is really great for acne-prone skin, even to the most sensitive skin! I am raving it so much because I am of the above condition, and many times, if I used the wrong products, my skin will have adverse effects instantly! 

ㅠㅠ The miracle products is all packed in this nice, classy box!


Yes, you are right! They are from Vichy Laboratories! Vichy Vichy!!!


Its the Vichy Normaderm series!

About Normaderm Series:

VICHY'S NORMADERM RANGE IS FORMULATED TO TREAT IMPERFECTIONS EVEN ON SENSITIVE SKIN. VISIBLY CLEARER SKIN WITHIN 7 DAYS!

Before I go on further, just a question to ask! Do you know what causes pimple?


We subconsciously touch our faces dozens of times everyday, and even more when a small pimple hurts, without realizing it! In making these insignificant gestures, we are adding to a bacteria over-contamination leading to the formation of pimples.

The bacteria carried on the fingers are transferred onto an already weakened skin; they enjoyed it, multiply and prevent the pimple from disappearing rapidly! And in just a few hours, the pimple will become redder, bigger and more painful, turning it into a real nightmare!

Now back to Normaderm range. Vichy's Normaderm range is formulated to treat imperfections, even on sensitive skin. 

All Vichy products contain Vichy Thermal Spa Water which soothes intolerant and sensitive skin, protects the skin against aging and free radicals from the sun, and regenerates skin cells by stimulating cell metabolism and epidermal repair.

Review:

The lotion makes my face really refreshing! It did removes every traces of my makeup residues too. It is non-sticky, and it dries quite fast. 

After using for a week to two now, I think my pores did shrinks a little.(Or maybe is it me only?) I guess results will be more obvious probably after using it more frequently. 

But the instant results is that the pores are slightly tighten and skin feels more refine.

NORMADERM TRI-ACTIV MOISTURIZER

Let me tell you! This is the STAR Product of the range!!


The #1 selling oil control moisturizer within the derma skin care category!

Efficacy:

Patented technology: dermatological peeling active ingredients in an anti-imperfection treatment for all-round transformation of imperfection-prone skin.

Reduces all imperfections, redness, shiny skin, uneven complexion and acne scarring, and provides continuous hydration for 24 hours.

Hydration: When dehydrated, skin cannot regenerate properly and the dead skin cells accumulation on its surface creates imperfections.

Mattification: Any sebum excess can be oxidized by UV rays, creating imitations at the source of even more imperfections. Cosmetic progress in the fight against imperfections.

Review:

How can I not love this star product! In fact, I'm addicted to it. It is so lightweight that I can barely feel anything on my face, yet, it does helps to matt my face keeping it shine free while it stays hydrated inside! 

It is easily absorbs into the skin, without leaving any sticky residue/feel.

NORMADERM HYALUSPOT

Efficacy:

Hyaluronic acid forms an invisibles film in surface to isolate the pimple from bacterial over-contamination.

Deeply, LHA and salicylic acid, dermatological active ingredients treat the pimple.

In 2 hours, 99% of bacteria responsible for pimples are eliminated. In 48 hours the pimple disappear without leaving scars.

Review:

I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS HYALUSPOT! It really makes my pimples/acne/blemish disappear within 48 hours! I simply could not believe my eyes! 

The cold applicator makes the swelling pimples/acne/blemish less aggravate, calms down the infected skin while the gel/essence works on the pimple/acne/blemish.

To be honest, within 5 minutes upon applying the hyaluspot, the pimple is instantly losing the battle as the gel is really really really powerful. It makes the area leaving with tingling sensation, but it is bearable though!

I personally think that everyone should invest a stick of the Hyaluspot in case of emergencies! You know you do not want the annoying pimple/acne/blemish to spoil your big day/date/gathering/outing!

*PS: the cold applicator is so cold and soothing to the skin! I can still keep the applicator for future usage once it is finished! LOL
