Vichy pigmentation cream

Any woman pays much more attention to her face than to all other parts of her body. And it is on the face that most often problems arise that cannot be covered up with clothes or glasses - freckles and age spots. And no matter how many times they say that freckles are beautiful, few women are consoled by this. That’s why the beauty industry is constantly offering more and more miraculous remedies that should get rid of this problem.

Causes of pigmentation

The reasons for increased pigmentation can be very different; therefore, before using any cosmetic product, it would be useful to consult a doctor to see if the body’s excessive production of melanin is a consequence of any disease. In this case, the effect of the cream will not be visible at all or will be very short-lived.

Manufacturers of Vichy brand cosmetics offer cream for age spots in several lines.

Compound

Ingredients included in anti-pigmentation creams.

1. Kombucha - perhaps the most important ingredient included in the Vichy Idealia series creams against excessive pigmentation. This is the kombucha extract that many of us remember from childhood. Many people know about its medicinal properties. But in cosmetology they began to use it relatively recently. Kombucha improves blood circulation, helps speed up the process of restoration of collagen fibers and increases the elasticity of the skin, helps normalize cell function and remove toxic substances from them. In addition, this substance provides a light and gentle peeling, after which the amount of melanin decreases and the face becomes fresher and more rested. Kombucha extract contains a high concentration of B vitamins, due to which the cream has a calming effect.

Hello, dear readers! Sometimes you really want to have a miracle remedy to remove age spots and other skin defects. It's good that there are cosmetic products that can help get rid of these problems. Today we’ll look at Vichy’s remedies for age spots – how effective they are and what their composition is.

Causes of age spots

Unfortunately, spots, dots and other specks choose the most exposed areas of the body. For some they settle on the face, for others - on the neck or décolleté. To decide how best to deal with them, you must first understand where they come from.

Cosmetologists identify the following causes of age spots:

1. exposure to ultraviolet rays;
2. skin aging;
3. hormonal imbalance (chloasma);
4. nervous disorders;
5. long-term use of hormonal drugs;
6. gastrointestinal diseases;
7. allergic reaction to low-quality or expired cosmetics.

Newly appeared stains are easier to remove. Dealing with old ones is much more difficult and takes longer. Therefore, it is better not to start the problem, but to solve it immediately.

One of the most pressing cosmetic problems is excessive skin pigmentation, which includes freckles and age spots. The causes of hyperpigmentation can be hormonal and age-related changes, pregnancy, disorders of the digestive and endocrine systems, UV radiation, and heredity. Today, there are a large number of products to combat hyperpigmentation, but which of them are truly effective and safe?

According to reviews from the network, one of the best products is a cream for age spots from the popular brand “VISHY”, which is of high quality. In the VISHY whitening series, manufacturers have presented a unique patented composition that is suitable for users of any age, with any skin type. The brightening effect of Vichy whitening cream is ensured by the regulation of the production of melanin pigment and the regeneration of the epidermis.

Increased skin pigmentation is due to the action of ultraviolet radiation, which stimulates the production of melanin. Vichy cosmetic products not only lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, but also protect the epidermis from UV radiation, preventing the appearance of new spots. The manufacturer claims that the VISHY anti-pigment spot cream makes the skin even and smooth, moisturizes it, lightens freckles, eliminates redness and makes the vascular age network on the skin invisible. According to the developers, the coloring substances in the cream give the skin a slight glow and visually smooth out unevenness.

Also, companies advertising VISHY cream for age spots write that the product has significant advantages over many other cosmetics. Among them:

1. the cream is developed in collaboration with specialists, under the supervision of pharmacists and dermatologists;
2. it contains no synthetic components;
3. the cream eliminates the cosmetic problem and prevents its subsequent development;
4. the product is suitable for use by patients of all age categories;
5. VISHY cream is highly absorbent, does not leave a greasy sheen and
6. film effect;
7. the cream is able to eliminate inflammation and swelling;
8. it is suitable for all skin types;
9. the product is hypoallergenic;
10. does not clog pores;
11. has an SPF-11 filter;
12. does not contain perfumes or essential oils;
13. the cream was tested on dry and sensitive skin - no side effects were detected;
14. products are not tested on animals.

Composition of the product

In the annotation, the manufacturer guarantees that the composition includes a large number of natural ingredients and there are no parabens. But, despite all the guarantees, before using the cream it is necessary to consult a dermatologist and do an allergic skin test, as there is a risk of developing allergic reactions.

A distinctive feature of the French brand VISHY is the presence of water from thermal springs of the volcanic region of Auvergne. Thermal water is recognized by doctors as effective for cosmetic care due to the presence in it of 15 minerals and trace elements (including calcium, potassium, manganese) necessary for skin health. It has effective soothing, protective and strengthening properties. Cream ingredients:

1. Kombucha (kombucha extract) is the main active ingredient in the lightening cream for Vichy spots. This is a biotechnology product, the first active ingredient that restores the skin from the inside. The action of the extract is aimed at evening out and smoothing the complexion. The mushroom has a strong antioxidant effect, thereby accelerating skin regeneration. Kombucha accelerates blood circulation, removes toxins, penetrates deep into collagen fibers and fibroblasts, accelerating recovery processes and increasing skin elasticity. The B vitamins included in the mushroom provide a calming effect on inflamed and irritated areas of the epidermis.
2. Blueberry extract strengthens the walls of blood vessels, has a tonic effect on the skin, relieves swelling, and eliminates bruises under the eyes. Blueberries also have a soothing and wound-healing effect.
3. Lipohydroxy acid has a light peeling effect (removes flaking skin), blocks the production of melanin pigment and accelerates regeneration.
4. A complex patented by the manufacturers, consisting of procysteine, eperulin and vitamin C, DRM Bright, relieves inflammation, gives the skin radiance and promotes active depigmentation. Eperulin is a powder of maltodextrin and Eperua Falcata Bark Extract, which fights age-related microinflammation.
5. Diacalite is designed to mattify the skin and distribute light on its surface.
6. Adenosine penetrates deep into the epidermis, removes toxins and moisturizes the outer layer of the skin.
7. Salicylic acid has a strong antibacterial effect and prevents rapid skin contamination. It also has a peeling effect.
8. Tocopherol acetate is a substance from the vitamin E group, which prevents excessive fat oxidation, is an active antioxidant, soothes the skin, retains moisture and protects the dermis from external factors.

How to properly apply anti-hyperpigmentation cream?

Vichy Brightening Cream can be used both as an independent treatment (day and night) and as a base for makeup. Thanks to tinting substances, the cream masks spots and freckles and gives a slight glow to the skin already during the first application (it is also used as a foundation), due to which, according to reviews from the network, it can be used in the warm season without additional masking creams. The product is very suitable as a makeup base due to its ability to even out skin tone. The cream is quickly absorbed and does not leave a film effect on the face, which is no less important for applying cosmetics. The effect of moisturizing and evening out tone lasts on the skin for up to 15 hours.

Although the manufacturer guarantees that the drug is hypoallergenic, it is better to conduct a skin test before use. To do this, you need to apply a small amount of cream to a small area of ​​clean skin and see the result after 30 minutes. If no side effects are detected, you can safely use the cream.

It is advisable to apply the cream twice a day, having previously cleansed the skin with makeup remover or water and patted it dry with a towel. Using circular massage movements, you need to apply and distribute the cream over the entire face (this is very easy to do due to its light oily structure) with the exception of the area around the lips and eyes. When using the cream daily in the morning and evening, according to the instructions, the first results can be seen within a week after the first use.

Is it possible to combine this remedy with other drugs?

VISHY cream for age spots, like other products from this French brand, according to the manufacturer, does not contain synthetic substances and is made from natural ingredients that cannot cause allergies. The cream has no contraindications and can be used by patients of all ages, including children, and with other medications and combined with other facial skin care programs from TM VISHY and other developers. Before starting to use Vichy, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist so that the doctor prescribes concomitant treatment to eliminate the cause of hyperpigmentation.

Use in face whitening

According to the company, the cream does not contain aggressive components that lighten the pigment. Its action is aimed at blocking the synthesis of melanin in increased quantities and protecting against ultraviolet radiation. Course use of the cream even hides the vascular network by strengthening the walls of blood vessels and improving tissue repair. Vichy not only masks age spots with the help of its toning components, but penetrates deep into the dermis. The effect of use is long-lasting and of high quality, guaranteed by the manufacturer.

When can I expect results?

The effects of the cream consist not only in eliminating hyperpigmentation of the facial skin, but also in additional “pleasant bonuses”, which are described in the description of the product:

1. gives radiance and a light healthy shine;
2. increases skin elasticity;
3. softens and moisturizes facial skin by 96%;
4. narrows pores by 77%;
5. smoothes shallow expression wrinkles;
6. evens out skin tone;
7. eliminates peeling;
8. gives a healthy appearance by improving its tone.

The results were obtained during clinical experiments with the participation and supervision of pharmacists and dermatologists. The cream has passed dermatological control. The study used a large number of methods without testing the product or its components on animals.

The first results are visible immediately after application due to the light toning effect. The skin becomes smooth, the color is evened out, a slight radiance and healthy shine appear. If you use the cream daily morning and evening, according to the instructions, visible results can be seen within a week. After two weeks, freckles and age spots become small, almost invisible. The complete disappearance of spots and freckles should be expected after 30-60 days, depending on the intensity of the pigment and the individual properties of the skin.

Before using medicinal cosmetics, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist and carefully read the instructions. You can purchase VISHY brand products in pharmacies or on the official website of the developers to avoid buying counterfeits.
