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.

“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.”

Studying the composition

The formulas of beauty products for problem skin mainly contain substances with sebum-regulating, exfoliating and antibacterial effects.

Kaolin absorbs sebum.

Salicylic And glycolic acids ensure timely elimination of dead skin cells and fight bacteria.

Lipohydroxy acid evens out skin texture.

AirLicium - a substance consisting of 99% air and 1% specially treated polymer, forms a perfectly smooth coating on the skin that remains invisible even with very high sebum secretion. Mattifies for a long time.

Glycerol has a moisturizing and softening effect.

Rules for caring for problem skin

After we have told you in detail about the range of Vichy products for problem skin, we would like to remind you of the basic rules for caring for it.

Makeup removal - daily in the evening.

Cleansing - daily morning and evening.

Moisturize - daily morning and evening.

The use of local remedies during periods of exacerbation of inflammation.

Good day, my dear readers! Have you ever thought about why every woman strives to be beautiful? Because usually a beautiful young lady is confident and purposeful, and she also has high self-esteem. To help women be beautiful, the Vichy brand has developed special cosmetic products. This is Vichy Normaderm for problem skin, the reviews for this series are amazing.

Features of the Vichy Normaderm line

The Vichy Normaderm series is designed to care for oily and combination skin types. That is, for skin with an oily sheen, enlarged pores, and also prone to inflammation. This product remarkably relieves inflammation and regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Recently the Normaderm Vichy line has undergone minor changes. This product series has been expanded with a mattifying cleansing mousse and a daytime BB cream in two shades. But more on that later.

As for the cosmetics from the Vichy Normaderm line, they do not contain hormones. Also, this product is not addictive. Strictly speaking, like any other cosmetics of this brand. Products from the Vichy Normaderm line can be safely used by pregnant women and women during breastfeeding. I even had to write a separate post about various myths about this cosmetics, “Myths and truth about Vichy cosmetics.”

ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:

Daily deep cleansing gel

One of Vichy's new products. Normaderm gel has an exfoliating and cleansing effect. The product eliminates excess sebum, eliminates oily sheen and the appearance of new inflammations.

The result is noticeable throughout the day. The foam does not dehydrate the skin or dry it out. There is no feeling of tightness after washing.

Daily deep cleansing gel, Vichy

The gel is sold in a green bottle with a convenient pump dispenser. Capacity volume – 200 ml. This amount will last you a long time!

The composition contains thermal acid, glycerin, salicylic acid, glycolic and lipo-hydroxy acids. The foam does not dehydrate the skin or dry it out

Squeeze a drop of Vichy Normaderm gel onto damp, clean hands and lather well. Apply it with massaging movements on the face and neck. Pay special attention to cleansing the area of ​​the nose, chin and forehead. You can’t apply it to your eyelids! Then rinse off the gel with warm or slightly cool water. And then blot your face with a paper napkin.

This gel is much better than alcohol toner. Alcohol-containing products only aggravate the symptoms of problem skin. The higher the concentration of alcohol in a cosmetic product, the more sebum will be produced. Tested for myself. Mom used to say that the best tonic is alcohol + cucumber. The result is that everything in the T-zone is shiny, and the cheeks are dry and flaky. If you love your skin, then buy a good skin care product. Try this gel.

Galya: The gel fit perfectly. Relieves inflammation, there is no tightness. My skin just came alive with it!

Taya: I received this gel as a gift. On the very first evening I tested it on my capricious skin. I was pleasantly impressed with the result))

Corrective BB cream Clear

This is another new product that has recently been added to the Vichy brand catalog. The BB cream comes in a convenient package in a soft mint tone with a subtle pink tint. Available in 2 shades: natural tone and light color. Tube volume – 40 ml.

The composition contains the following active “ingredients”: thermal water, salicylic acid (2%), mineral pigments

It has a light texture, without oils. Can be used from the age of 20. However, if you have dark skin, it is better to use Vichy Teint Ideal foundation.

For application you can use a sponge or brush. Or you can apply BB cream with your fingers. Take a little bit of cream (literally the size of a small pearl) and apply it to your face, gently massage it into the skin. Apply the product to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes. To achieve better correction of imperfections, you can apply several layers of this cosmetic. Or use instead of concealer.

Anti-Age – at the first signs of aging

Thanks to the presence of 2 active peeling components (acids), Vichy Normaderm Anti-Age has an exfoliating effect

In addition, the complex of acids copes well with the imperfections of oily skin. These include shine, clogged pores, inflammation, etc. And the vitamin C contained here enhances collagen synthesis and, as a result, improves skin tone. The developers claim that after 7 days the skin becomes clean, even and smooth. The complexion is evened out and wrinkles are smoothed out. It can be safely used from the age of 25.

Before application, cleanse your face and hands. Don't spread a lot, just a pea-sized amount is enough. Carry out the procedure either in the morning or in the evening, avoiding the eyelid area. Vichy Normaderm Anti-Age can be used as a base for makeup.

What do those who have already tried this remedy say?

Marina: Of all the things I applied to my skin, this cream turned out to be the most effective. It got rid of acne and perfectly disguised all the blemishes. And it lasts quite a long time.

Detox - night care

This product takes into account skin biorhythms, reducing sebum production at night. As a result, oily shine is reduced and the face acquires a beautiful, even color.

DETOX, night care, Vichy

The cream has a light and delicate texture. It is absorbed literally instantly. In addition, the product is hypoallergenic. I described Normaderm Detox cream in more detail in the article “Vichy Night Cream”. This is really a very good product when the skin on your face is very oily.

Cream against imperfections

Even after adolescence, acne can cause a lot of trouble. 8 out of 10 women experience this. Inflammation increases during the menstrual cycle and during stress. If you don't take care of your skin during these periods, acne will become more stubborn and harder to treat.

Corrective care against imperfections, 24 hours hydration, Vichy

The cream is intended for the correction of persistent inflammation and periodic rashes

In this product, Vichy combines 4 active ingredients for treatment and moisturizing:

1. Salicylic acid (1.5%) + lipo-hydroxy acid – exfoliating effect, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory;
2. PhE-Resorcinol – a component that whitens post-acne marks and age spots;
3. Air Licium - perfectly absorbs the secretions of the sebaceous glands and neutralizes oily shine throughout the day.

The “Corrective Care” cream has a light texture with an unobtrusive aroma. The product can be applied under foundation and powder. It is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy shine on the face. Lightly press the dispenser and squeeze out a little product. Apply to dry skin of the face, except the eyelid area.

True, some girls complain that this cream slightly stings the skin in the first minutes after application. Although others do not experience this unpleasant sensation. The tingling sensation is understandable, because the cream contains salicylic acid and lipo-hydroxy acid in small concentrations. These 2 ingredients are very effective in fighting acne.

Lisa: My husband and I use it as a couple. If anything pops up, we apply it at night, and in the morning everything is clean.

Anya: I have been buying only this product for the 2nd year now. No greasy shine all day and inflammation gradually went away.

Nastya: The cream really helps. After just a few days, pimples become less noticeable. And then they completely disappear!

Deep cleansing 3-in-1: gel + scrub + mask

The product is designed to care for sensitive, problematic or oily epidermis. Can be used as an exfoliating scrub or deep cleansing mask. The tube is pale green, volume – 125 ml. The back of the package contains detailed instructions explaining how to use the product correctly.

Cleanser 3 in 1, Vichy

Vichy Normaderm 3-in-1 contains the following active ingredients:

1. White claywhich cleanses pores;
2. zinc gluconate. This component is responsible for the production of collagen and elastin;
3. glycolic acid, which removes dead cells and cleanses the ducts of the sebaceous glands.

First use the product as a scrub. Then apply Vichy Normaderm in a thick layer to the skin and leave it on like a mask. During this time, white clay absorbs impurities, cleansing pores. With this procedure you can easily get rid of blackheads.

Do not use this cosmetic more than 2 times a week. When applying, pay special attention to problem areas of the face. After washing, treat your face with a thermal bath. It will soothe the skin, restore it and relieve flaking.

Nadia: I tried a lot of things, but settled on this one. I use it to wash my face and as a cleansing mask. Very pleased!

Where is it profitable to buy Vichy cosmetics?

My dears, I think you know. Any skin, especially problematic skin, requires comprehensive care: cleansing, day and night care. And when inflammation occurs, then a remedy to eliminate it. And of course, while treatment is taking place, it is better to mask imperfections for now.

Based on my experience, I recommend purchasing the Vichy Normaderm care and treatment complex right away. And to save money and get another gift, buy 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)
3. They often hold great promotions for one or another product line. I recently placed a small order and in addition to the sample, they also added Vichy Normaderm micellar makeup remover lotion for free 🙂
4. Guaranteed storage conditions. It is on the official website that you will not be sold counterfeit or expired goods. All products are stored in a warehouse before being delivered to the buyer. Here it is provided with proper storage conditions.

That's why I always order Vichy products only on the official website. I will repeat the link to the Normaderm series products:

Modern cosmetology can literally work miracles. Even if nature did not reward you with perfectly even and smooth skin, modern technologies can give it radiance and a healthy appearance. You just need to put in a little effort and follow fairly simple rules.

What is problem skin?

Typically, this is oily skin that produces too much sebum, which causes clogged pores and imperfections: redness, peeling, blackheads and pimples. And the face itself takes on a not very healthy appearance: oily shine and enlarged pores do not make anyone look good.

How to properly care for problem skin

There are several simple but mandatory rules of care.

Firstly, daily care for problem skin is a must. No “I’m tired today”, “I’ll do it tomorrow morning” are not accepted. Every morning and every evening, like brushing your teeth.

Secondly, care must be carefully selected. And specifically for your type of epidermis. Choose products that say “for oily and problem skin.” Avoid cheap analogues, they usually contain a high concentration of texture formers and preservatives - there will be a lot of foam, but the effect is not quite what was expected: at first you will feel that your face has become cleaner and drier, but then, as a protective reaction, the skin will begin to produce even more sebum . And this is exactly what I would like to avoid. Therefore, it is better to give preference to pharmacy cosmetics.

Thirdly, everything must be done sequentially, without skipping a single step.

Stage one is cleansing. Best suited for problem skin shower gel. It penetrates deeply into the pores, cleanses thoroughly and leaves behind a feeling of freshness. Here we must remember that hot water is the enemy of oily skin. It not only dehydrates the epidermis, but also promotes more active sebum secretion, and also expands the already wide pores. It is enough to wash your face twice a day - because the more sebum you wash off, the more your body produces. After washing, gently pat your face dry, do not rub it with a towel. And learn to control yourself and not squeeze pimples - it’s better to entrust this task to professional cosmetologists.

Stage two - tonics or lotions for oily skin, which cleanse and tighten pores, eliminate oily shine, blackheads and inflammatory elements.

Stage three - cream for oily skin (day or night, depending on the time of day), which will restore the hydrolipid balance. It should be applied with light movements along the massage lines. It is important not to overdo it with the quantity - the excess will not be absorbed, but will roll off, and all your efforts will go down the drain.

Proper care for problem skin includes special masks at least once a week. Just before applying the mask, do not forget to thoroughly clean your face, and then use tonic and cream.

And one more piece of advice. This time from the field of nutrition, not cosmetology. Pay attention to what you eat. After all, very often problems with the epidermis occur from poor nutrition. Try to eliminate sugary carbonated drinks and fast food from your diet for at least a month, reduce simple carbohydrates and fats, eat more vegetables and fish, and you will notice how your face will glow.
