Vichy Normaderm line for problem skin

The Normaderm line includes all categories of products that meet the needs of this skin type. Formulas allow you to normalize sebum production, level out imperfections, and provide good hydration day and night. The line also includes a product for spot treatment of problematic elements.

Cleansing

It copes well with dirt and effectively removes even waterproof makeup for the face, eyes and lips. Soothes the skin, reduces sebum production. The formula is alcohol-free and does not contain soap. Suitable for sensitive skin.

Veronica:

“Careful, soft, pleasant! Odorless, without greasy films, does not irritate the eyes. Removes mascara and shadows perfectly! Didn't cause any allergies to me! I recommend!"

Livinskaya:

“A friend gave it to me. I really liked the lotion, the skin is really soft and cleansed. It’s the most suitable remedy for winter.”

Daily deep cleansing gel

Quickly and efficiently cleanses pores, reduces shine, and prevents acne. Refreshes the skin, does not tighten or dry it out.

Julia:

“I have combination skin and live in a polluted city. There are black spots on the face in the T-zone. And the cleansing gel helped a lot with this problem! Carefully and delicately! Thank you!"

Lily:

“Without waiting for free samples, I purchased this gel. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I can say that this is the best cleanser I've tried. Perfectly cleanses the skin, but does not dry it out, there is no feeling of tightness. I’m so glad that there’s no more greasy shine - with other products, within an hour after washing my nose, my nose looked like a greasy pancake.”

This product based on salicylic and glycolic acids performs three tasks at once:

exfoliates, preventing clogging of pores and smoothing skin texture;

used as a cleansing mask to mattify and control sebum production.

Marina:

“I am immensely grateful to Vichy for this product. This is what saved my skin, I couldn’t do without it. I would write about it for a long time, I highly recommend it to those who have oily and problematic facial skin. It doesn’t dry out the skin, cleanses deeply, evens out the complexion very well, my post-acne acne has even noticeably lightened!”

Toning

From the very first use, the result is noticeable in the form of narrowed pores and neutralization of oily shine. With regular use, you can count on a reduction in the number of comedones and pimples.

Julia:

“Wonderful product! The skin is cleansed, moisturized, looks fresh and soft, and smells nice! Pure pleasure! There are many times fewer blackheads!”

Elena:

“Nice smell, works great. The skin remains quite dry during the day and at night, with almost no oily sheen.”

Hydration

A combination of lipohydroxy and glycolic acids unclogs pores and combats skin imperfections such as acne and comedones. Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin tone and improves complexion.

Daria:

“I liked the cream. It is light, non-greasy, does not clump, has a pleasant smell. The whole day the skin of the face is fresh, there is no oily sheen. It doesn’t fight the signs of aging, but I didn’t expect it to.”

Lily:

“This cream is just a godsend! Easy to apply, nice packaging. In the morning it goes on perfectly, not greasy, which is important for my oily skin, it is easily absorbed, and at night it moisturizes very well and does not dry out! In general, this is number one for me so far!”

Night care "Detox"

The non-greasy, weightless texture is suitable for combination and oily skin and works to improve its appearance: it eliminates excessive shine and normalizes sebum production. Use a couple of hours before going to bed.

Diana:

“Feels good on the skin. I didn’t notice the declared reduction in fat content, nor did I notice any other positive effects. I used it at night for about 2 weeks. Now I use it irregularly, as long as I don’t have the tube lying around.”

Natalia:

“Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any special effect from its use; my skin is still oily in the morning. Although in general the cream is pleasant, absorbs quickly, does not cause discomfort, rather, on the contrary, it did not help with the stated problems. I just use it as a night cream.”

In addition to the promised moisturizing, this product helps reduce pore size, gives the skin a healthy glow, and corrects skin imperfections. The texture is comfortable. The product spreads easily and does not leave your face feeling greasy or sticky. Can be used as a primer.

Decorative products

Instantly evens out skin tone and texture and controls shine throughout the day without causing dryness. After a month of use, imperfections are reduced.

Local SOS tools

The lightweight gel is quickly absorbed without leaving any shine. The product is very easy to use: apply a little gel to the inflammatory element using the applicator. Repeat as needed throughout the day.

Diana:

“It suited me. It does not cause the slightest irritation, it dries very delicately and quickly, and resolves inflammation. Creates a transparent film that is invisible and does not wrinkle or peel due to facial expressions. Economical. I applied it 1-2 times a day on several inflammations, but it started to wear off after 3 months.”

Irina:

“I didn’t expect a miraculous effect from it and, as it turned out, not in vain. If you use it at night, it’s completely fine; it doesn’t completely relieve inflammation, but it does reduce it a little – that’s a plus. The downside is that a thin film remains on the skin, which can peel off if you rub your face with your hands accidentally and it doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing; you won’t be able to use it much during the day.”

Almost everyone has seen an advertisement for the premium Vichy brand for problem skin. What are these cosmetics? Is it hormonal? Is it worth spending money on it? We answer all these questions.

The history of the creation of a popular brand

Vichy is a small provincial French town where famous warm and cold springs with thermal water are located. This is what is included in Vichy products. The company itself was founded in 1931, when Dr. Prosper Aller, studying the properties of healing thermal water, discovered that it quickly regenerates the skin (heals scratches and inflammation).

Vichy cosmetics have been sold only in pharmacies since 1955 (the year the deal was concluded with another famous French company, Loreal). This is the company's business card. Later, in 1969, not far from the healing springs, a factory for the production of cosmetics, which are still popular to this day, appeared. This company has one more feature (besides the fact that its products cannot be purchased in an ordinary store): it does not produce universal products “for all occasions.” The Vichy brand fights against specific imperfections, so it has many lines in its arsenal: for young skin, age-related, anti-aging, hair, sun protection, etc. The problem of skin imperfections always takes you by surprise. The Vichy Normaderm series was created specifically for this type of skin.
