Features of Vichy moisturizing creams

There is no need to once again remind us of the importance of regularly moisturizing the epidermis, because the problem of dehydration is familiar to everyone, regardless of skin type. True, finding the perfect moisturizer is not the first time. Either the texture is not satisfactory, or the effect does not live up to expectations, or the formula turns out to be too aggressive for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions.

By choosing cosmetics from a range of drugstore brands, you can be sure that the risk of irritation is minimized. After all, all dermatocosmetics are hypoallergenic and do not contain potentially dangerous ingredients. If you decide to turn to the “water resources” of the Vichy brand, then the following information will be useful to you.

Vichy medical expert Elena Eliseeva explains:

“If, for example, only glycerin is used as a hydrofix, the product will have mediocre moisturizing properties, simply preventing the evaporation of existing moisture from the skin.

If you create a formula based on fashionable hyaluronic acid alone, the amount of fluid in the epidermis will significantly increase. However, it will not stay there for long, since it will easily evaporate through microscopic damage to the structure of the stratum corneum.”

The signature unique ingredient in the products is Vichy thermal water: 15 minerals and trace elements restore pH balance and strengthen the protective functions of the skin.

Aqualia Thermal Line “Dynamic Humidification”

Signs of skin dehydration are well known and can be easily identified without the help of experts:

small wrinkles - so-called “dehydration lines”;

feeling of tightness after contact with water;

dull complexion.

However, skin suffering from a lack of moisture has another important characteristic - uneven distribution of fluid in the tissues. The fact is that some areas of the face lose moisture much faster than others, and this is due to three factors.

1. Permeability of the stratum corneum (transepidermal water loss).

2. Activity of aquaporin proteins.

3. Glycosaminoglycan deficiency.

In areas where the hydrolipid mantle is insufficient, thinned or damaged, water will not be retained. That is why the areas of the eyelids, lip contour and cheekbones dehydrate most quickly, while the forehead and lower jaw line maintain normal hydration levels for a long time. “It has been proven that the lack of glycosaminoglycans and the inactivity of aquaporins, which deliver water from cell to cell, lead to the fact that some areas of the skin do not receive enough moisture, even if in other areas it is sufficient.” Elena Eliseeva

Composition and components

The list of ingredients contains several hygroscopic substances.

Aquabioril

protects the skin from dehydration by creating a protective breathable film on its surface that fills microdamages in the skin;

gives the texture lightness and freshness, providing a feeling of pleasure while using creams.

Hyaluronic acid

This ingredient deeply moisturizes the epidermis and increases the level of glycosaminoglycans in the skin.

L-carrageenan

The natural disaccharide is responsible for intercellular hydroexchange and uniform distribution of moisture in tissues.

Moisturizing creams Aqualia Thermal

Light cream Aqualia Thermal “Dynamic hydration”

An airy refreshing cream immediately relieves the feeling of tightness, provides a feeling of freshness and comfort throughout the day, and gives the skin a radiant appearance and smoothness. By saturating the cells with moisture and evenly distributing it over all areas of the face, the formula prevents the formation of dehydration lines.

Reviews:

“The texture is like a gel. After application, the skin seems to be covered with a film, and then becomes velvety. Moisturizes well." Irina

Since I have combi skin, I use the light version. It’s a bit heavy in the summer, but in the off-season and especially in winter it’s just great. Doesn’t clog pores.” Tatiana

Rich cream Aqualia Thermal “Dynamic hydration”

It has a richer texture due to shea butter, which gives an additional feeling of protection and comfort to skin prone to dryness and flaking. The technology of moisturizing and distributing moisture in cells remains unchanged.

Reviews:

“Wonderful cream! I already bought a second jar. Perfectly moisturizes the skin. Nice smell. Highly recommend". Anna

Night spa treatment Aqualia Thermal

The composition of the cream with a high content of Vichy thermal water, hyaluronic acid and aquabioril is supplemented with nourishing oils that do not weigh down the texture. It can be used both as a night cream and as a mask for deep hydration. Absorbs perfectly without leaving a greasy film. Provides the effect of rested, “full”, smooth skin.

Reviews:

“Complete delight! Enjoying my face! I've been using this cream at night for 2 weeks now, and everything has changed. Before this I had dehydrated skin. Heater in the car, harsh makeup removers dry. This cream is a lifesaver! I can’t imagine how I lived without him before!” Olga

The skin has become very soft and tender, you just want to touch it. Thanks to this cream, the skin rests at night.” Anna

Aqualia Thermal Awakening Eye Balm

It works on the principle of dynamic hydration, uniformly saturating every cell with moisture. Contains caffeine, known for its ability to improve microcirculation and have a drainage effect.

Reviews:

“When I bought this cream, I didn’t expect anything special. It lightens the circles under the eyes, but does not completely remove them. But in terms of hydration, I'm delighted. The feeling of tightness is completely gone. The skin became fresher." Daria

“I suffer from dark, even purple, circles under the eyes and fine wrinkles due to dehydration around the eyes. Other creams rolled off and irritated the eyes and caused redness.

This gel is easy to apply, pleasantly moisturizes, does not clump, and most importantly, does not cause redness or tears.

I’ve only been using it for a week, so it hasn’t saved me from circles yet, and I don’t believe in instant magic creams. But I’m already glad that I have it! The main thing is not to overdo it with the quantity. If you apply a lot, it won’t be completely absorbed, but this flaw can be easily corrected by blotting off the excess with a napkin.” Irina

Aqualia Thermal Day Spa Treatment

Aquagel instantly quenches the thirst of dehydrated skin and maintains an optimal level of moisture for 48 hours. Rich in Vichy thermal water minerals, the cream restores the skin's moisture balance and strengthens its protective properties.

Reviews:

“I use a sample of this cream. I want to say that he does his job perfectly! Perfectly moisturizes the skin, delicate scent. And to prevent anything from slipping, you just need to not overdo it! A small amount of cream and everything is OK!” Julia

This is the best remedy I have tried. When you apply it to your skin, you feel such pleasure! I've been using it for almost 2 years. I know that I need to change my care, but I can’t refuse.” Elena

"One of the best creams for my entire life. Ideal after sunbathing and peeling procedures. This is not the first time I order and I don’t regret it.” Irina

“I really liked this one gentle cream-gel. I myself am a fan of only gel-like creams with a light texture. It fits perfectly, is quickly absorbed, and does not leave an oily sheen on the skin. Now he's my favorite." Anastasia

How to choose the right product

Aqualia Thermal is a universal line that is suitable for skin of any type suffering from lack of moisture. However, the formula of the day cream is presented in two versions:

light texture for normal/combination/oily skin, optimal choice for the warm season;

rich texture for normal/dry skin, optimal choice for winter.

Greetings, my beautiful readers. Tell me, has it ever happened to you that your skin starts to get “cranky” in the fall? She simply stops accepting the cream you use in the summer. Don't be alarmed, this is a completely normal skin reaction during the transition from hot summer to cool autumn. The main thing here is to choose the right care product. The Vichy Aqualia Thermal range is considered an excellent solution. This is exactly what will be discussed in today’s article.

About the Aqualia Thermal series

Many have noticed that during the heating season the indoor air is dry and all moisture is “pulled out” from the skin. At this time, the epidermis needs additional hydration. According to the manufacturer, Aqualia Thermal care products will saturate our skin with moisture.

This range is based on the following main active components:

1. Glycerol – this is an amazing element. Helps active substances penetrate into the deepest layers of the epidermis and enhances their absorption. It also creates a film on the surface that protects the skin from dehydration.
2. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid — in cosmetics it is not used in its pure form, because has an unstable texture. That's why sodium hyaluronate is used - it breaks down into a pure substance in the skin. Used in the form of sodium hyaluronate. This component is evenly distributed on the surface of the epidermis, creating a thin film. It protects the skin from moisture loss, plus makes it more tender.
3. L – carrageenan - promotes uniform distribution of moisture in the skin.
4. Aquabioril - softens the dermis and helps retain moisture;
5. Thermal water – moisturizes the epidermis and saturates it with minerals. Read about the amazing properties of this component in the article about thermal water.

All Vichy products do not contain parabens. The packaging may contain these words sans paraben-riche. Yes, if you see alcohol denat in the composition, don’t be alarmed. This is a cosmetic alcohol - it is used as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory substance.

There are no age restrictions for Aqualia Thermal cosmetics. Therefore, you can use it from 18 years of age

The Aqualia Thermal series is represented by the following products:

1. light day cream;
2. night spa care;
3. balm for eye contour.

I would like to remind you about the features of using cosmetics in winter. You need to apply day cream 40-60 minutes before going outside. This time is enough for it to be well absorbed. Otherwise, if you go out into the cold with a damp face, this will lead to dehydration of the skin. And other cosmetic problems will quickly appear in a row. They are bored - they don’t walk alone 🙂

ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:

Light day cream

This product perfectly moisturizes throughout the day. You will forget about the feeling of tightness and dryness of your face. The cream has a gel-like consistency. It distributes well. Can be used as a moisturizer before applying foundation. But you should wait a little until the cream is completely absorbed, otherwise the foundation may roll off. Available in a 40 ml tube.

Light cream Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic moisturizing, Vichy

In addition to the main components, the composition includes:

1. hyaluronic acid;
2. hydrogenated polyisobutene - an alternative to mineral oil;
3. pentaerythryl tetraisostearate is a good alternative to castor oil;
4. stearyl dimethicone - moisturizes and creates a protective barrier.

It should be applied to a cleansed face, avoiding the eyelid area. The movements should be light. After application, you need to allow the product to absorb (a few minutes will be enough). And only after that just start applying makeup.

In summer, I recommend using sunscreen after applying day cream. This will protect your skin from sun damage, which means there will be fewer wrinkles. The Vichy brand has a separate Capital Ideal Soleil series. Read more about which product is best to use in this article.

Reviews from those who use this cream help judge the effectiveness of the product. There are many of them on the Internet and I will introduce you to several of them.

Nastyukha: I came across this cream by chance. I was visiting a friend and she bought it. In general, I smeared it on, I liked it and bought it. Now I wouldn't change it for anything.

Elina: This is not a cream, but a godsend. I recommend to everyone.

Marina: After I started using it, my face became so soft. I am delighted and have recommended it to all my friends))

Night SPA care

The concentration of active substances in this product is much greater. In addition to the main moisturizing ingredients of the day cream, squalane is added to the night cream. This component is non-toxic and not subject to oxidation. It softens the skin and is involved in the transport of nutrients to the epidermal cells. Squalane is present in cosmetics intended for dry and dehydrated skin.

Unlike the day cream, the night cream has a thicker texture. In addition, its hydration lasts longer. The product spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. The night cream has a distinct marine aroma. Jar volume – 75 ml.

NIGHT SPA-CARE VICHY AQUALIA THERMAL, Vichy

Apply it to cleansed skin of the face and neck every evening. After use in the morning, the skin will be soft and tender. And you can forget about peeling. For more active hydration, I additionally recommend using masks. Read more about them in the article about face masks from Vichy.

Here are the reviews from people who use this product. Read and draw conclusions.

Inessa: I was impressed by it after the first use. During the heating season, the skin was tight and dry. After the first use in the morning, the face became soft and velvety like peach skin 🙂

Luda: The only downside is the smell - it could have been made more gentle, but it works great!

Alina: I bought this cream after much thought. I didn't regret it. Vishy, ​​as always, did not disappoint.

Eye contour balm

This product is designed to combat bags and dark circles under the eyes. The cosmetic product perfectly combats swelling of the eyelids. The same balm refreshes the skin and moisturizes it. An additional bonus from its use is that wrinkles are smoothed out.

The eye balm has a light, delicate texture. It is a gel-like opaque product with a bluish tint. The smell is a little medicinal, but it dissipates quickly. The balm is a little greasy. By the way, this feature makes it profitable. It lasts me a long time. Despite its oiliness, the balm is quickly absorbed. Bottle volume – 15 ml.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal awakening balm for eye contour, Vichy

Now I’ll give you a couple of reviews that say more than the manufacturer’s statements.

Ruslana: The balm has a delicate consistency and is pleasant to apply. I’ve only been using it for a week so far – it’s too early to talk about the effect.

Nura: He works. You just need to apply a little at a time. What is not absorbed in 10 minutes needs to be blotted with a napkin, otherwise the bags will increase.

Where is the best place to buy?

I order Vichy products on the official website of the manufacturing company vichyconsult.ru. I will list 5 reasons why it is more profitable to buy from the Vichy online store:

1. With every order they give gifts. These are free samples of a new line or already known series of products. So nice!
2. There is free delivery to any region of Russia (for orders over 2000 rubles)
