Vichy Ideal cream for dry skin

Greetings, Beauty Patrol! Today I want to share my opinion about day cream care for dry skin (to transform skin quality) IDEALIA from Vichy.

A little description of the cream from the official Vichy website:

"The negative factors that accompany a high pace of life cause oxidative stress in the skin, as a result of which free radicals accumulate inside the skin cells and energy metabolism is disrupted. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of the skin: dull skin color, uneven tone and texture. Energy complex based on fermented extract Radiance-activating black tea, adenosine, known for its ability to stimulate cellular energy metabolism, and blueberry extract with antioxidant properties, combined with VICHY Mineralizing Thermal Water, energizes skin day after day: revitalizes skin's radiance, evens out tone and texture, visibly reduces pores and hydrates 24 hours even at a fast pace of life. Melting cream with a refreshing texture, ideal as a base for makeup."

To be honest, I liked this cream the least out of the entire IDEALIA line. I'll tell you everything in order.

The texture is medium, delicate, the color is pale pink. The smell is pleasant, unobtrusive.

The cream spreads well and is perfectly absorbed

1) The cream gives too much oily shine. I don’t know if this is what the manufacturer means by “skin radiance,” but I don’t need such radiance at all.

I’ll show you the skin in comparison BEFORE using the cream.

Do you see how shiny the skin is? And this is about 5 minutes after spreading the cream. Honestly, it's terrible.

And most importantly, all this fatty beauty does not go away over time. Okay though, a little bit of the shine goes down.

2) If you do a small massage with your fingers on the skin, the cream begins to roll off. A completely unpleasant feeling.

3) The cream does not even out the tone and texture and does not tighten the pores at all. And I just can’t imagine how it’s possible to apply it under makeup with such and such a texture. Yes, the makeup will just float!

1) The cream moisturizes and nourishes well. If you smear it on and not leave the house, or preferably at night, your skin will be well nourished. Perhaps this is the only plus that I could highlight.

Overall - 2 points. I don't recommend it

Moisturizes and nourishes

Doesn't even out skin tone
Doesn't add shine
Doesn't tighten pores
Cannot be used under makeup
Rolls down
Gives an oily shine

It varies from person to person, but for me all care always ends at once. On another such day X, when choosing new products, a Vichy gift cosmetics bag caught my eye, apparently dedicated to the New Year. The cosmetic bag contained just the day cream and eye cream I needed + a miniature night cream, which I don’t need at all, but you can’t throw the item out of the set))) And why?) Because I have a lot of time to choose and select something was not, then this very set was quickly taken to the checkout. This is how I got this trio and now I want to talk about my impressions.

I’ll say right away that I have normal skin, I don’t have any special problems with it, and all I want from the cream is hydration. I didn’t even really read what was written on the packaging, I just made sure that it would suit my skin type.

Day care cream for transforming skin quality Vichy Idealia Smooth & Glow Energizing Cream.

Indications for use, information and promises from the manufacturer

Composition, expiration date, volume

The cream fully met my expectations, it moisturizes the skin perfectly. After it, it is soft, soft, very pleasant to the touch. When applied, it does not roll off, is absorbed instantly, and there are no unpleasant sensations afterwards. Slightly pinkish in color. The consistency is pleasant, light-light, the cream spreads over the skin just perfectly. The consumption is the most standard, not big, not small. I've been using it for about 4 months, once a day, and it will last about the same. But there is one nuance... At first glance, the inhalation smells very pleasant, but then the smell of alcohol hits your nose. Therefore, whoever doesn’t like him in the lineups is clearly missing this line. This smell does not bother me at all; during use it disappears and is no longer noticeable. The very presence of alcohol doesn’t bother me one bit; I didn’t notice anything bad in the cream because of it.

Contains blueberry extract and fermented tea extract. Designed for normal and combination skin. Promises an even, radiant complexion, smooth skin surface, less noticeable pores, and 24-hour hydration. I have no problems with my complexion, it did not affect my pores in any way, and I am completely satisfied with the smoothness and hydration of my skin.

I would also like to dwell on the packaging. I’m still 40 and that’s why I’m really crazy about her! The cream has a very cool lid, it’s almost a mirror! It’s a pity that it distorts a little, but it looks very beautiful))) The lid is plastic, and the jar is made of thick glass and is dark pink in color; it’s pleasant to hold in your hands.

This is how you can clearly see how everything is reflected in the lid

Vichy Idealia Nuit Skin Sleep Night Cream. Revitalizing care.

The miniature contains much less information.

Composition, volume, shelf life

It is a little denser in texture and already more nutritious, due to this it is a little heavy for me, so I use it on my neck; in my opinion, this area is impossible to over-nourish. Otherwise, everything is absolutely the same as for the daytime one.

Promises smooth, fresh, radiant skin without signs of fatigue. Again, I don’t know how about freshness and radiance, but it nourishes the skin well. Suitable for all types.

His jar is just lovely))) Small, neat, just right to take with you. Also glass, but not transparent and with a plastic lid.

Indications for use and information from the manufacturer, expiration date and volume

Compound

So far this is the best eye cream I have tried. If my facial skin is normal, then in the area under my eyes I sometimes feel dry and I want to really nourish this area. It copes with this task well, the feeling of dryness disappears, the skin becomes very soft and nourished. The consistency is oily, the texture is quite dense, but the cream spreads easily and is absorbed quickly. There are no unpleasant sensations after application. But one day I missed and smeared it on the mucous membrane, it burned badly. I think we should thank alcohol for this. Or maybe not, I don’t know, maybe any cream will burn, I had such a mistake only once) Apart from this, nothing bad was noticed. It does not smell like face creams, it smells like the licorice stated on the packaging. I don't like this smell, but it's not thermonuclear, so it's very tolerable. And in color it is already light yellow, not pink. The consumption is the same as the day cream; after 4 months of use, about half is left.

Contains caffeine and licorice root extract. The manufacturer promises that the cream gives instant radiance, makes dark circles less noticeable, gives a rested look, and smoothes out wrinkles. Well... it doesn’t actually do any of this. It just nourishes the skin perfectly)

The packaging is a very ordinary plastic tube with a convenient dispenser.

I know that many people do not like Vichy and swear at them. I often see such mentions in comments on various resources. This is partly why I didn’t really take into account their products and didn’t go to their stands in pharmacies for a long time. But in vain. I really liked everything)

How do you feel about Vichy? Do you use brand products or are you in a different camp?

Price: approximately 2000 rubles for everything.

Grade: 5. I wrote above that I only need good hydration; I don’t expect more from creams.
