Reviews online confirm that Vichy Idealia is suitable even for very sensitive skin. The cost on the official website is about 2000 rubles.

Age care from Vichy
As you age, your skin stops producing collagen and elastin. The dermis under the eyes becomes thinner, and the cells lose their ability to quickly regenerate. In addition to thermal water, anti-ageing products from Vichy contain retinol, eperuline, adenosine and a cell growth stimulator, Proteic GF.
Products for the skin around the eyes are aimed at different age groups:
- Women 50-60 years old can use VichyNeovadiol for care. This product is aimed at solving the problems of aging skin. The eye and lip contour care contains proxilan, which promotes regeneration and effectively fights crow's feet and expression wrinkles. Thanks to its natural composition, it is suitable even for sensitive skin.
- Between the ages of 40 and 50, you can use Vichy eye care cream as your main care. The main components are a highly effective polysaccharide - rhamnose - and hyaluronic acid. The cream helps eliminate puffiness, lightens dark circles under the eyes and prevents sagging skin on the eyelids. Vichy Liftactive also promotes the production of natural elastin and collagen in skin cells after 40 years.
- Women over 30 years old can include Vichy eye contour product in their daily care >
Features of application
To get rid of problems in the area around the eyes, you need to regularly and correctly use caring cosmetics.
- Before applying cream or gel to the skin around the eyes, thorough cleansing is necessary.
- Then use tonic.
- The cream is driven into the skin of the eyelids and under the eyes using patting movements. For uniform application, use a special applicator.
- Movements should be directed from the inner corner to the outer.
- Next, move to the upper eyelid and apply the cream in the direction from the temple to the eyebrows.
- Eye cream is best stored in the refrigerator. So, in addition to its basic properties, it will provide an additional tonic effect.
- To avoid swelling, night cream is applied no later than an hour before bedtime.
- Conventional cosmetics cannot be used on the delicate skin around the eyes.
- After using the cream, you must thoroughly clean the applicator.
Contraindications and use during pregnancy
Vichy eye cream has various contraindications:
- individual intolerance to some components of the cream;
- the presence of skin diseases in the eyelid area.
Even if the product has been tested by dermatologists, allergies may occur. The first signs of an allergic reaction are itching, dryness and redness of the skin of the eyelids, tearing, and swelling.
If these signs appear, you should immediately consult an ophthalmologist.
During pregnancy and lactation, the skin around the eyes is most susceptible to dryness and dehydration. These problems can trigger the early appearance of facial wrinkles. To remove them and prevent their reappearance, you can use cream or gel for the skin around the eyes. The components in the care product have a superficial effect and do not affect the child.
Vichy creams are excellent for problematic, dehydrated or aging eyelid skin. However, it should be remembered that the funds are selected individually. Good reviews do not guarantee 100% effectiveness of the cream and do not exclude individual intolerance.
For wrinkles around the eyes
Vichy For wrinkles around the eyes January 15, 2014
Good afternoon So, unfortunately, I was disappointed in Vichy. I have been using the cream for wrinkles around the eyes for about 5 years. But in between she changed with others. I once bought Filorga - I liked it, then I bought Vichy new items twice (all around the eyes). And after the second dose, Vishy decided to take Filorga again. And then off we go. I applied it in the evening. In the morning, the skin around the eyes was swollen, there were red stripes on the cheeks below the eyes, and some other pimples. I thought that there was a reaction, which means it was working. But not even a week later. I stopped and started “treating” with baby cream. It's gone. I tried again, again - failure. At the pharmacy (I only buy there) they say that Vichy is addictive. Friends say that Filorgi is a fake. Now I don’t know which one to buy. Lerak didn’t go either. Maybe there really is an addiction to Vichy? Anyone who has encountered this, please write. Thank you.
Hello, my dear readers! I know that many of you are looking for the perfect product for delicate eyelid skin. Of course, each brand can boast of something of its own. But today I want to tell you what Vichy eye cream is + I’ll provide reviews.
I have already written in detail about Vichy Ideal cream for dark circles. In this same article I wanted to tell you about the most, most effective remedy. But it turned out that there are several types of them. Each of them has a specific purposeful effect.
The main problem that skin faces over time is dehydration. And all because the barrier function of the epidermis is disrupted. And even if you had oily skin in your youth, dryness may appear over time. Fortunately, there are products for the skin around the eyes from Vichy. They not only moisturize thin skin, but also smooth out wrinkles. I will go through each product in detail, describe the active ingredients, how to use it and reviews from those who have tried it.
For eye contour SUPREME
This cosmetic “miracle” for the eyelids perfectly helps against wrinkles + copes wonderfully with swelling and bluish circles under the eyes. It nourishes the delicate skin of the eyelids and softens it.
SUPREME, cream care for the skin around the eyes, Vichy
Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a hypoallergenic product. It contains no parabens or other harmful additives. This cream can be safely used even when caring for sensitive skin.
Main components of natural origin:
- 5% rhamnose - monosaccharide of plant origin. This component has a positive effect on dermal resources. Ramnose is involved in the renewal of the epidermis. Produces elastin and collagen, which increases the density of the skin around the eyes.
- Thermal - has strengthening and restorative properties. Read more about Vichy SPA thermal water in my article about Vichy thermal water.
- Caffeine - this component has a drainage and tonic effect. Helps fight dark circles under the eyes.
Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a non-greasy and non-sticky cream. It has a light, pleasant texture.
Apply this cosmetic product twice a day: in the morning and evening. Pre-clean your eyelids with a special cleanser, such as micellar water. Apply just a little bit at a time along the bone. Do not go into the moving eyelid.
Those who have tried this product on themselves have noted a positive result. The face became fresher and more well-groomed, and the skin became moisturized. Bags and bruises under the eyes disappear.
But some girls note slight itching and redness after using this cream. Essentially, it's an allergy. An unpleasant phenomenon, I agree.
I suggest you read the reviews yourself. They will tell you a lot.
Marishka: This is an amazing tool! I have tried so many things to combat dark circles under my eyes and wrinkles. This cream is better than all the others. It really works. Within a month, my skin became like that of a twenty-year-old. And this despite the fact that I’m already 35!
Nastya: My eyelids stopped swelling, the bruises disappeared, and my crow's feet smoothed out. In general, I have very sensitive eyes. As soon as I smear myself with something, an allergic reaction immediately occurs. But this cream is just super.
On my own behalf, I also want to advise you something. Do not apply cream to the delicate skin around your eyes before going to bed. Apply the product 1, or even better, 2 hours before bedtime. Otherwise you will get swelling. This has been verified from my own experience 🙂
So if you apply cream to your eyelids 5 minutes before bed, don't complain. The next morning it may even feel like you spent the night in a hive with angry bees 🙂 Yes, the product only works if it is used correctly. Otherwise, the cream will nourish not the skin, but the pillow. By the way, you will find my article useful on how to properly apply eye cream.
ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:
Serum Serum 10
How is this tool different? It not only smoothes out wrinkles, but also moisturizes delicate skin + helps strengthen eyelashes. Serum 10 copes even with deep wrinkles, so it can be used even after 40 years.
Serum for a youthful look, Vichy
According to the manufacturer, after a month, visible wrinkles are smoothed out by 27%. And the eyelashes are restored.
Vichy Liftactive Serum 10 is the only product that can be applied to the moving eyelid
According to reviews, many girls use it after eyelash extensions. My dears, I have not tried eyelash extensions myself. But I realized that this remedy works well.
This serum contains no parabens. The following active components are present here:
- 10% rhamnose - stimulates the production of your own elastin and collagen. Due to this, the density of the skin increases;
- Ceramides - in fact, it is intercellular “cement”;
- Hyaluronic acid — this component moisturizes the skin and helps accelerate collagen synthesis;
- VICHY SPA thermal bath - has a calming, restorative and strengthening effect;
- Reflective particles — they give the look youth and openness.
The cosmetic product can be used even when caring for sensitive skin. It is hypoallergenic. The serum has been tested and this product is absolutely safe.
Use Serum 10 twice a day. Apply to thoroughly cleansed eyelid skin. Squeeze a small drop of serum onto your fingertip. Close your eye. Apply to entire surface. Do not stretch the skin under any circumstances. Movements should be light and gentle: from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Then use your index fingers to slightly lift your eyelashes (make it look like you are curling them).
On top of this serum you can apply Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA. Eye contour cream perfectly combats bags under the eyes and dry skin. Let me remind you once again about the time of application - it is better to apply the product a couple of hours before bedtime. Then the wrinkles will disappear, the eyelashes will be transformed, and the look will become radiant.
What do those who use this product say? I suggest you read some reviews.
Yana: I apply this serum daily, but not twice a day, but only once. I alternate this product with Vichy Idealia. I'm satisfied with the effect. In general, I really like Serum 10 serum. It has a soft gel-like texture. The product applies very well and there is no greasy feeling left after application. And what eyelashes I have now! I never dreamed of such things)))
Marusya: This is the second time I have ordered this miracle product. For me this is a real find. After eyelash extensions, this serum helped me a lot. The eyelashes were completely restored within a month. I also like that it doesn’t sting my eyes.
Lina: I have been using Vishy Liftactive SERUM 10 relatively recently. But I noticed that the condition of my eyelashes and eyelids had improved. Even my husband saw improvements))
Aqualia Thermal Awakening Balm
This product moisturizes delicate skin, helping to get rid of dark circles and bags under the eyes. The balm will make your look rested and fresh. Aqualia Thermal also has an anti-edematous effect.
Judging by the statement of the Vichy brand, the balm can be used from the age of 25. But there is no upper limit. Essentially, this product is recommended based on the biological condition of the skin.
