For wrinkles around the eyes
Vichy For wrinkles around the eyes January 15, 2014
Good afternoon So, unfortunately, I was disappointed in Vichy. I have been using the cream for wrinkles around the eyes for about 5 years. But in between she changed with others. I once bought Filorga - I liked it, then I bought Vichy new items twice (all around the eyes). And after the second dose, Vishy decided to take Filorga again. And then off we go. I applied it in the evening. In the morning, the skin around the eyes was swollen, there were red stripes on the cheeks below the eyes, and some other pimples. I thought that there was a reaction, which means it was working. But not even a week later. I stopped and started “treating” with baby cream. It's gone. I tried again, again - failure. At the pharmacy (I only buy there) they say that Vichy is addictive. Friends say that Filorgi is a fake. Now I don’t know which one to buy. Lerak didn’t go either. Maybe there really is an addiction to Vichy? Anyone who has encountered this, please write. Thank you.
The eyes are the mirror of the soul, what is remembered first in a person’s appearance. In order to preserve the beauty and attractiveness of your eyes for a long time, it is important to take care of the delicate skin around the eyes, because the first signs of its fatigue can be seen after 20 years. Vichy eye cream can become an effective assistant for women of any age.
Features and Benefits
The Vichy brand got its name from the city of the same name in France. It was here that the long and successful existence of a company built on the unique properties of thermal water began. It is worth noting that even today Vichy does not deviate from its principles, using this product as the basis of creams for eyelashes, face and body. Thermal water contains mineral components that are so necessary for tired skin around the eyes.
Vichy eye cream has its own advantages:
- solving various problems in the area around the eyes depending on the type of cream;
- the use of natural and pure components that have a healing effect, due to which the brand’s cosmetics have the right to be sold through pharmacies;
- increasing the tone and moisturizing of the skin, lifting this delicate area of the epidermis;
- continuous improvement of the product through ongoing research;
- specialized purpose, that is, possible use and positive results only when caring for the area around the eyes;
- stylish product design;
- additional possibility of use for eyelash growth.
Creams for delicate skin are divided into several series. The reason for this division was different skin, for example, oily or dry, tired or dehydrated.
The product for creating ideal skin is presented in a line Vichy Idealia. Its action is to eliminate dark circles and puffiness of the eyes, which is especially important when you lack sleep and work for long hours at the computer. The smoothing of the epidermis occurs due to the smoothing of fine wrinkles and its saturation with beneficial vitamins and minerals. The product of the line has an original design and a convenient applicator for precise and uniform application of the product throughout the entire area.
Another feature of Vichy Idealia is that it is hypoallergenic and can be used for all skin types. Continuing the topic of application, it is worth noting that for a visible effect, the product must be applied to cleansed skin in the morning and evening from the point of the bridge of the nose to the temples. The average time for complete absorption is 15 minutes.
Eye contour correction product Liftactiv Retinol designed to solve problems with the appearance of wrinkles of all types. The product is especially recommended for aging skin, as it contains highly effective active ingredients such as Retinol and Adenosine. It will not be superfluous to use it even after reaching 25 years of age when the first wrinkles and sagging skin appear. A nice and interesting feature here is also the packaging with an applicator for dermopuncture.
Cream Liftactiv Derm Source Technology works by smoothing and reducing wrinkles. Another area of action is de-puffiness of the eyes and removal of dark circles. The hypoallergenic composition has a calming effect on the delicate surface of the area.
Vichy Neovadiol – a product aimed at aging skin of women 45-60 years old. Unlike other means, the scope of its application has been expanded. It can be used to tighten the contours of the eyes and lips.
Compound
The composition of Vichy products has proven itself to be natural and created by nature itself. Let's identify its main ingredients. The company's calling card is thermal water, used in each product from its numerous care series. This unique natural component contains 15 minerals that can restore skin at various levels. Iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, silicon - these are just a few useful elements of thermal water.
The products are also rich in hyaluronic acid. This component allows you to retain collagen in the skin, thereby providing a rejuvenating effect. Hyaluronic acid is able to bind water, preventing the skin from drying out and experiencing moisture deficiency. In addition, hyaluron has a calming effect and relieves inflammation.
It is worth noting that the acid, despite its healing properties, can harm people who are allergic to this component. The reason for this deficiency lies in the raw materials for its production.
The materials are animal raw materials and bacteria, due to which, even after careful cleaning, hyaluronic acid contains proteins and peptides, which are the cause of allergies. Knowing the presence of this component in creams, it is important to conduct an initial test of the product on the crook of the elbow and, if there is no reaction, continue to use it for its intended purpose.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, retinol is responsible for the activation of collagen and elastin. This substance means vitamin A, widely known to everyone. Its beneficial properties are aimed at smoothing out wrinkles. The results of the procedures will be gradual and will begin to appear after three months of regular use. Vitamin A should not be used if you are hypersensitive; signs of this situation are peeling and dry skin after use.
You can also see such an ingredient as rhamnose, as well as white wax, dextran sulfate, caffeine and escin in the composition of the products. The last two components actively fight bags under the eyes and darkening of the epidermis. Each of the substances is aimed at the elasticity of blood vessels, the health of which determines the general condition of the area around the eyes.
How to choose
It is important to choose cosmetics not only depending on your skin type, but also in accordance with the age criterion.
Thus, experts advise you to think about purchasing eye care products at the threshold of 25 and 30 years. It is at this time that collagen production begins to slow down, resulting in a loss of proper hydration.
When you see the first wrinkles, you shouldn’t panic and run for creams with enhanced formulas for aging skin. Light gels and serums with herbal ingredients and vitamins will help support the skin.
After 40 years, the stage of active support for skin begins, which loses moisture at a rapid pace. For this purpose, nourishing creams enriched with hyaluronic acid, collagen, oils and vitamin A are suitable.
At the age of 50 and older, the skin needs even more active nutrition. Oily creams for the dermis of the eyelids can cope with this. Tightening products containing retinol and collagen can also have a good effect.
Regardless of age, the effect may not occur. And first of all, this may be due to the lack of daily protection of the delicate layer of the epidermis. Wearing sunglasses and protection from harmful UV rays is important in keeping the skin in this area healthy.
Speaking about specific series of the brand, each line is correlated with a certain age. Thus, Vichy Idealia can be considered a universal product, suitable according to the brand for any age. Liftactiv lines will become companions for women aged 30 years and older. Vichy Neovadiol eye and lip tightening product will appeal to respectable and well-groomed women from 45 to 60 years old.
How to use
To get rid of bags under the eyes and dark circles, one good product is not enough. Regularity of procedures and their correctness are the key to healthy and radiant eyelid skin.
So, any of the Vichy creams is applied to cleansed and toned skin in the morning, as well as in the evening after removing makeup and any additional skin care. The application technique is also important and recommended by the brand’s specialists. They begin to drive the product into the thin skin of the eyelids with light movements of the ring finger, since its blows are the quietest and do not cause injury. A special applicator will help distribute the product evenly. The movements of the fingers first pass along the lower eyelid from the inner corner to the outer, after which, smoothly moving, to the upper eyelid from the temple to the eyebrows.
Care does not require haste, and all touches to the thinnest layer of the epidermis should be gentle, precise and measured. A few minutes a day dedicated to yourself will help you quickly change the appearance of the area around your eyes for the better.
Rating of the best
Each Vichy product has earned the title of being the best in its specific purpose.
However, there are products that successfully combine several useful functions, which certainly sets them apart from others.
These products include cream Vichy Idealia Eyes. Its complex effect on skin of any age allows you to significantly save your budget by using the product together with your mother, daughter, sister, and so on. This is also convenient when comparing results.
A worthy remedy can rightfully be considered comprehensive care for Vichy Neovadiol. The ability to use it not only for the eyes, but also for the lips after 45 years, makes it a universal and convenient product that saves space on the dressing table.
Among the wealth of components in one bottle, it stands out LiftActiv Retinol. Vitamin A, adenosine, thermal water and other ingredients have a complex and effective effect on the epidermis, improving and enriching it with nutrients.
Reviews
Despite the most alluring advertising, reviews will always turn out to be more truthful and accurate, because they are based on personal experience. It is worth saying that there are the most controversial and contradictory opinions about the Vichy line.
Thus, users like the Vichy Idealia product for its light matting effect with reflective particles. Numerous photographs before and after application clearly demonstrate the camouflage of small vessels. On the other hand, owners of the cream note that the composition is not the most attractive, the ingredients of which contain silicone and alcohol. Not every girl risks leaving him overnight. Speaking about the price category, most consider the product frankly expensive, however, for some the price justifies itself, for others it does not correspond to the quality.
Liftactiv Retinol cream again led users to doubts, however, summarizing the reviews, we can judge that the vast majority of them are positive. For example, the positive aspects include the removal of swelling and partial smoothing of wrinkles. Some owners of the bottle even consider it an elixir of youth and eternal beauty. The fly in the ointment is associated with a thick and greasy consistency, which causes difficulties during the morning application procedure before decorative cosmetics. On the other hand, the brand’s specialists allow the possibility of using the product only at night.
Reviews from owners of the cream vary, which means there is a possibility of individual intolerance to the components and varying degrees of exposure. However, this factor does not allow us to call Vichy products good or bad. Only your own experience can reveal the truth. The availability of trial products in small volumes, distributed free of charge or for an insignificant amount, will help you find out the result of the procedures without spending large sums of money, and therefore without being upset by the lack of a beneficial effect and rejoicing in its presence.
All about Vichy Idealia Eyes eye cream in the next video.
Hello, my dear readers! I know that many of you are looking for the perfect product for delicate eyelid skin. Of course, each brand can boast of something of its own. But today I want to tell you what Vichy eye cream is + I’ll provide reviews.
I have already written in detail about Vichy Ideal cream for dark circles. In this same article I wanted to tell you about the most, most effective remedy. But it turned out that there are several types of them. Each of them has a specific purposeful effect.
The main problem that skin faces over time is dehydration. And all because the barrier function of the epidermis is disrupted. And even if you had oily skin in your youth, dryness may appear over time. Fortunately, there are products for the skin around the eyes from Vichy. They not only moisturize thin skin, but also smooth out wrinkles. I will go through each product in detail, describe the active ingredients, how to use it and reviews from those who have tried it.
For eye contour SUPREME
This cosmetic “miracle” for the eyelids perfectly helps against wrinkles + copes wonderfully with swelling and bluish circles under the eyes. It nourishes the delicate skin of the eyelids and softens it.
SUPREME, cream care for the skin around the eyes, Vichy
Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a hypoallergenic product. It contains no parabens or other harmful additives. This cream can be safely used even when caring for sensitive skin.
Main components of natural origin:
- 5% rhamnose - monosaccharide of plant origin. This component has a positive effect on dermal resources. Ramnose is involved in the renewal of the epidermis. Produces elastin and collagen, which increases the density of the skin around the eyes.
- Thermal - has strengthening and restorative properties. Read more about Vichy SPA thermal water in my article about Vichy thermal water.
- Caffeine - this component has a drainage and tonic effect. Helps fight dark circles under the eyes.
Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a non-greasy and non-sticky cream. It has a light, pleasant texture.
Apply this cosmetic product twice a day: in the morning and evening. Pre-clean your eyelids with a special cleanser, such as micellar water. Apply just a little bit at a time along the bone. Do not go into the moving eyelid.
Those who have tried this product on themselves have noted a positive result. The face became fresher and more well-groomed, and the skin became moisturized. Bags and bruises under the eyes disappear.
But some girls note slight itching and redness after using this cream. Essentially, it's an allergy. An unpleasant phenomenon, I agree.
I suggest you read the reviews yourself. They will tell you a lot.
Marishka: This is an amazing tool! I have tried so many things to combat dark circles under my eyes and wrinkles. This cream is better than all the others. It really works. Within a month, my skin became like that of a twenty-year-old. And this despite the fact that I’m already 35!
Nastya: My eyelids stopped swelling, the bruises disappeared, and my crow's feet smoothed out. In general, I have very sensitive eyes. As soon as I smear myself with something, an allergic reaction immediately occurs. But this cream is just super.
On my own behalf, I also want to advise you something. Do not apply cream to the delicate skin around your eyes before going to bed. Apply the product 1, or even better, 2 hours before bedtime. Otherwise you will get swelling. This has been verified from my own experience 🙂
So if you apply cream to your eyelids 5 minutes before bed, don't complain. The next morning it may even feel like you spent the night in a hive with angry bees 🙂 Yes, the product only works if it is used correctly. Otherwise, the cream will nourish not the skin, but the pillow. By the way, you will find my article useful on how to properly apply eye cream.
ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:
Serum Serum 10
How is this tool different? It not only smoothes out wrinkles, but also moisturizes delicate skin + helps strengthen eyelashes. Serum 10 copes even with deep wrinkles, so it can be used even after 40 years.
Serum for a youthful look, Vichy
According to the manufacturer, after a month, visible wrinkles are smoothed out by 27%. And the eyelashes are restored.
Vichy Liftactive Serum 10 is the only product that can be applied to the moving eyelid
According to reviews, many girls use it after eyelash extensions. My dears, I have not tried eyelash extensions myself. But I realized that this remedy works well.
This serum contains no parabens. The following active components are present here:
- 10% rhamnose - stimulates the production of your own elastin and collagen. Due to this, the density of the skin increases;
- Ceramides - in fact, it is intercellular “cement”;
- Hyaluronic acid — this component moisturizes the skin and helps accelerate collagen synthesis;
- VICHY SPA thermal bath - has a calming, restorative and strengthening effect;
- Reflective particles — they give the look youth and openness.
The cosmetic product can be used even when caring for sensitive skin. It is hypoallergenic. The serum has been tested and this product is absolutely safe.
Use Serum 10 twice a day. Apply to thoroughly cleansed eyelid skin. Squeeze a small drop of serum onto your fingertip. Close your eye. Apply to entire surface. Do not stretch the skin under any circumstances. Movements should be light and gentle: from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Then use your index fingers to slightly lift your eyelashes (make it look like you're curling them).
On top of this serum you can apply Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA. Eye contour cream perfectly combats bags under the eyes and dry skin. Let me remind you once again about the time of application - it is better to apply the product a couple of hours before bedtime. Then the wrinkles will disappear, the eyelashes will be transformed, and the look will become radiant.
What do those who use this product say? I suggest you read some reviews.
Yana: I apply this serum daily, but not twice a day, but only once. I alternate this product with Vichy Idealia. I'm satisfied with the effect. In general, I really like Serum 10 serum. It has a soft gel-like texture. The product applies very well and there is no greasy feeling left after application. And what eyelashes I have now! I never dreamed of such things)))
Marusya: This is the second time I have ordered this miracle product. For me this is a real find. After eyelash extensions, this serum helped me a lot. The eyelashes were completely restored within a month. I also like that it doesn’t sting my eyes.
Lina: I have been using Vishy Liftactive SERUM 10 relatively recently. But I noticed that the condition of my eyelashes and eyelids had improved. Even my husband saw improvements))
