You can disguise pigmentation on the face, traces of acne or redness not only with the help of professional makeup, which also has many disadvantages. Firstly, it weighs down the skin, and secondly, it harms its condition. In contrast to this “heavy artillery,” there are softer methods. For example, products from the French company Vichy help fight imperfections on the face, masking problem areas without a “mask” effect due to the high content of special pigments.
A world-famous company
Several years ago, the company updated the cosmetic formula of one of its lines of facial skin products - Dermablenda. The texture has become more delicate and weightless, the effect has significantly increased. For many women, vitiligo, acne, age spots and redness are a huge problem that needs to be dealt with regularly. With Vichy Dermablend products you can not only disguise imperfections, but also get the perfect skin tone.
Among the entire line of concealers from Vichy, the foundation fluid with a corrective effect especially stands out. It contains high concentration masking pigments. The Vichy Dermablend foundation fluid is capable of maximally masking all imperfections: from uneven tone to rosacea.
Super effective foundation fluid
The foundation fluid from Vichy is also ideal for “disguising” dark circles under the eyes, swelling and “crow’s feet”. Its melting texture glides onto the skin perfectly without weighing it down. The product can also be applied in summer, since Vichy Dermablend contains sunscreen filters (SPF 20). Despite its light texture, it is highly resistant. The matte effect of the skin lasts for more than 15 hours, so you don’t have to worry about an unpleasant oily sheen.
UVB and UVA filters protect against the negative effects of solar radiation. Vichy Dermablend, which has positive reviews, is ideal for sensitive skin prone to irritation and flaking. Using this product daily, you don’t have to worry about your facial health. All Vichy brand products are tested by professional dermatologists; the absence of parabens is clinically proven.
The unique formula of Vichy Dermablend fluid perfectly corrects the skin, making it smooth and soft. The product lays down evenly, distributes well and shades in a matter of seconds. The face takes on a natural appearance without spots or streaks, and a comfortable feeling will delight you throughout the day.
Indications for use
Many young ladies choose Vichy Dermablend fluid for regular use. Reviews indicate that it is ideal for smoothing the surface of the skin, “disguising” dark spots, redness and other imperfections. Owners of even the most sensitive epidermis can use the product.
Thanks to the high concentration of pigments in the fluid, the Vichy product ideally copes with even major problems on the facial skin, which is why it is popular among women around the world. It mattifies perfectly and works as a protective barrier against ultraviolet radiation. The concealing effect lasts throughout the working day without the need to touch up your makeup. At the same time, all dermatological skin defects are completely hidden, pores are not contaminated, thickening of certain areas does not form during application, and the face glows with health.
Release form and application recommendations
Vichy Dermablend is a fluid foundation cream - packaged in a plastic tube with a screw-on cap. Sold in a cardboard box, which contains detailed instructions describing all the characteristics of the product. Tube volume – 30 ml.
Vichy Dermablend foundation with an ultra-light texture has four shades:
- “golden”, number 45;
- “opal”, number 15;
- “sand” number 35;
- "corporal", number 25.
The choice of color depends on the natural skin tone. Compatibility is easy to check: apply a small amount of fluid to the upper part of your palm, massaging with the fingers of your other hand to warm up the texture of the product. After this, apply the fluid with patting movements to any area of the facial skin.
For pronounced skin imperfections, one layer of Vichy Dermablend fluid may not give the desired effect, so it is recommended to apply a second one. It will not be noticeable, since the product is perfectly layered without a “mask” effect. Unlike its analogue competitors, the fluid can be applied to the area around the eyes and inner corners.
What is the action of the product based on?
The plastic texture that melts on the skin in the Vichy product is an innovative development of the company. When applied, the concentration of active pigments increases significantly: by approximately 30%. This gives the product an advantage over other foundation cosmetics. Many note that the consistency does not become viscous even with multi-layer application.
The ideal masking effect over the entire surface of the skin is achieved precisely thanks to the plasticity of the cream, which makes it possible to hide all pigmentation and traces of acne. At the same time, no one will even notice that Vichy Dermablend, a corrective fluid, has been applied to the face. In addition to masking existing age spots, the product prevents the formation of new ones due to its high degree of sun protection.
Safety and results
The product from the Vichy company is unique due to its effective masking effect and safety for the skin. Does not cause allergic reactions, is not comedogenic. Using the fluid daily, you don’t have to worry about developing acne. The product contains no perfumes. The basis of the fluid is Vichy thermal water - a patented development of the company. Even sensitive skin will not be harmed by the foundation.
Many women note: after using the fluid, the skin is noticeably evened out and glows with a natural shine. The structure of the skin becomes more elastic, there is no feeling of stickiness and heaviness. It is especially noted that when applying the product there are no visible boundaries or thickened areas. The durability of the fluid has been proven by numerous clinical tests.
Proper Use
Before applying the corrective fluid to the skin, you must thoroughly clean it and apply any care product. It is best to use a special sponge for the fluid or simply squeeze the product onto your fingertips. The corrector is distributed from the center of the face to the edges. If there are visible defects on the face, the fluid is applied directly to this place and carefully shaded.
It is recommended to use the product not only on the face, but also in the neck and areas near the ears to give maximum naturalness. The desired shade can be achieved by applying the fluid in layers.
Advantages and disadvantages of the product
The advantages of the Vichy corrector cream include the following characteristics:
- Maximum concealment of imperfections among similar foundations;
- Ideal coating density;
- Lasts all day (about 17 hours);
- Safe formula for all skin types, including very sensitive and prone to allergic reactions;
- Sunscreen filter SPF 35 – mineral origin, provides excellent protection against the harmful effects of the sun’s rays;
- Pleasant sensations when applying the product and throughout the day.
The cream also has disadvantages. They are as follows:
- A small number of fluid tones (currently there are only four);
- Since the Vichy fluid is a product that is sold in pharmacies, it is not always easy to find;
- High cost - about 1 thousand rubles.
Many people do not consider the latter indicator to be a disadvantage of the fluid, since the quality fully justifies the money spent. In addition, the corrector is consumed quite economically.
Customer Reviews
In most cases, women who have experienced the effects of the fluid on themselves are satisfied with the results and advise others to try Vichy Dermablend. Reviews most often concern such characteristics of the product as texture, durability and nuances of application. Some girls advise using a cream with a moisturizing effect as a base for the fluid, then you need to remove all excess with a napkin and apply the corrector, lightly whisking, but not rubbing. This allows even oily skin to remain matte throughout the day.
Many customers note the cost-effectiveness of the cream: one 30 ml tube can last for a whole year, if you pay attention not to the complete correction of the entire face, but only to the most problematic areas. For skin with a light tan, fluid number 25 in a flesh tone is ideal. If the epidermis is very tanned, then it is better to go with golden. For fair skin, the best concealer option is “Opal” (number 15). Opinions differ on the cost of the cream: some consider the price to be too high, while others consider it optimal. However, based on its skin-safe composition and excellent effect from use, the product is one of the leaders among similar competitors in its price category.

After reading, I remembered that Dermablend was once my favorite product - and decided that this was a reason to take it out of my cosmetic bag again.
But first, a video with advice from a makeup artist on how Dermablend can be used to disguise imperfections on the skin:
If I had been a little less lucky, I could have been born with a birthmark not on the back of my head, as it is now, but also on my face. I'm glad that at least there's one less problem in my life -). But nevertheless, I have something to disguise.
Dermablend has repackaged this year - now the white tubes have turned into black, like Dermablend Pro. When asked about the composition, the brand said that everything is the same - and this is interesting, because I compared the lists of ingredients and they are slightly different. But nevertheless, all the main characteristics remained unchanged - the highest pigmentation, texture - plastic melting. And the sun filter is now SPF35.
There are three shades in total: 15 opal (very light with a yellow undertone), 25 nude (noticeably darker) and 35 sand (for dark-skinned people).
If I had chosen in a store, I might have made a mistake, because for some time now I don’t consider myself to be such a snow-white person, and shade 15 is really very light. But I, hello to work -), have both shades - 15 and 25. And I applied both to my face - still better than 15, even though it is lighter than my skin tone; but the 25th, which is noticeably darker. I hope the swatch will help you get your bearings.
And - in general, Dermablend remains in the collection of my favorite foundations -). It still applies perfectly and smoothes the skin well, but does not give the effect of a mask. Yes, it is densely pigmented and perfectly evens out the face, but I personally would not call the result a mask. (Of course, if you have never worn anything denser than some kind of fluid in your life, then you may not agree with me here -). I love how my face, with its constant redness, unevenness, post-acne marks and pigmentation, immediately takes on a divine appearance - not just a tone, but a mood improver in the morning.
Since I don’t need a dense, dense mask, like the makeup artist in the video, I simply apply it with my fingers and in just one layer. This allows me to “smooth out” my pigment spot so much that it is then very quickly corrected with concealers - this does not happen with every tone.
And another interesting story, but - I have lost my main complaint about this product that I had before. The fact is that Dermablend can noticeably shine 3-4 hours after application - for this reason I began to wear mattifying wipes, because I really liked the effect. Now this is not the case. Perhaps because the skin has become almost normal. Or does the season affect it? Or is the composition really different? Don't know.
Well, one important advantage of Dermablend: it does not clog pores. It feels like it lies on top of the skin absolutely indifferently. I just wash it off thoroughly in the evening (because it’s still thick) and that’s it. Moreover, I once forgot to wash it off before training (now I don’t go to the gym wearing foundation anymore, but it happened before) - and nothing. I didn’t even notice it until I went to the shower afterwards. This is his... safety or something. I really appreciate it because with other foundations I often have surprises.

Dermablend Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation SPF 35 #15
Good day, dear ladies!
This time I want to tell you about the foundation fluid from Vichy.
Beware of unaesthetic photos!
I got this foundation fluid by accident, my mother gave it to me because she found “something better.”
What we have? A soft, white plastic tube with a minimal amount of information.
On the back of the tube there is a description of the product in English and an expiration date.
There are 3 tones:
15 tone (Opal). Positioned for girls with fair skin.
25 tone (Flesh). For girls with normal (?) skin.
35 tone (Sand). For dark girls.
This fluid is recommended for all skin types.
On the Internet, a lot of girls praise this vibe, but, alas, I don’t understand why they praise it.
The first thing I didn’t like was that the product constantly tries to escape when the cap is unscrewed: The second thing is the tone. Tone 15 (Opal) is intended for girls with fair skin, but is this true? For me, tone 15 turned out to be too dark. He goes wildly into red (on his face there is a strong difference between the face and neck)
Third and worst thing - coating.
I have oily skin and therefore this foundation lasts 3-4 hours on my face. And all this time I feel it on my face.
Let's move directly to the swatches.
Face with moisturizer:
Due to climate change, illness, stress, poor nutrition and study, my skin has turned into something I don’t understand. Enlarged pores, blackheads, post-acne and flaking in the nose area. The whole “wonderful” set.
I applied the fluid to one side of my face (on the left for you). From a distance, everything looks more or less decent, but. Ruthless macro: You can see how the fluid emphasized the relief and all kinds of skin imperfections. I read in one of the blogs how a girl suggests applying it as a concealer under the eyes. In no case! It will highlight all the wrinkles and dry out the delicate skin around the eyes.
Let's summarize.
-It is quite pliable and can be easily applied in all sorts of ways.
-Good covering power.
-Efficiency.
-Has an spf factor of 35.
-You can feel it on your face.
-Small number of tones.
-It looks like a mask on the face.
-Leaves fingerprints when the face comes into contact with a phone or clothing.
-Overcharge.
-Highlighting shortcomings.
-I still don’t know why it’s in my makeup bag. I'll most likely throw it away.
Price: 1591 rubles
My rating for this product: 2/5.
