The resulting products are compared with the standard formula to ensure compliance with the company’s requirements for appearance, color and aroma.

The quality of the texture is checked using a microscope, and the stability of the formula is checked in a special centrifuge.

Brand safety rules also include packaging control and functional control.

Yes, the measures are strict, but the creams are considered one hundred percent safe, and the risk of allergies is minimal.

How to choose the right cream

When choosing cosmetics, focus on three main parameters.

Skin type and condition.

If you are in doubt about an objective assessment of any of these characteristics, consult a cosmetologist.

Beautiful and healthy skin is the dream of every modern girl. Owners of clear and beautiful skin do not have to spend a lot of time on daily makeup: it is enough to highlight the eyes and highlight the lips. However, in order to achieve such skin and maintain it in good condition, you need to put in a lot of effort.

Regardless of whether you got clear skin from nature, or you achieved a visible result through your own efforts - you just need quality daily care. Many representatives of the fair sex prefer to spend more money on decorative cosmetics, citing the fact that only it can cover all the shortcomings and make the appearance attractive. In fact, the first thing you need to invest in is care.

Product categories and brands

The world-famous Vichy brand belongs to L’Oréal, which was founded in France back in 1909 of the last century. The founder of L'Oreal is Eugene Schullet, who, as you know, was a chemist by training. The concern produces a variety of popular brands of skin care, hair care and decorative cosmetics.

Conditionalo all products produced by the company are divided into:

1. Professional products;
2. Pharmacy (medicinal) products;
3. Consumer goods;
4. Luxury goods.

Professional products include such well-known brands as: Matrix, Kerastase, Redken, L’Oréal Professional. Pharmacy cosmetics include the brands Vichy and La Roche - Posay. Luxury brands produced by the company include Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Cacharel, Ralph Lauren, Kiehls, Urban Decay, Biotherm and many others. Consumer products include beloved brands L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, NYX and Garnier. Absolutely all products produced by the company meet all quality standards and are manufactured using modern technologies.

Vichy - French brand, which has been producing high-quality hair and face care cosmetics for about a hundred years. The basis of most of the products produced is thermal water from a spring in the city of Vichy - hence the name of the brand. This city, located in the central part of France, gained fame back in the days of ancient Rome.

The first mention of the magical properties of thermal springs dates back to approximately 52-53 BC. According to history, the Roman legion, returning from battle, stopped on the bank of a deep river. People have noticed that the warm water in the springs has extraordinary therapeutic properties and helps in the fight against illnesses.

One of these sources with healing properties also gained popularity among doctors in the 17th century, and it was he who inspired the creators of the brand to use thermal water in cosmetics. In 1931, the manager of a perfume company and also the doctor who managed the Vichy thermal society met with the healing springs in the city.

The manager stayed in the province because he had a large wound on his leg that did not heal for a long time. The doctor advised applying water from a source to the wound, and a little later the effect exceeded all expectations: not a trace remained of the injury. So the enterprising manager suggested that the doctor use thermal water from the source in cosmetics, giving it the name “Vichy”.

Vichy face cream is a kind of calling card of the brand today. A wide range of creams allows each representative of the fair sex to choose a product that is right for her. This is due to the fact that the above-mentioned doctor proposed to classify skin by type; moreover, he invented unique formulas to care for each type. This is how the well-known “Secret de VICHY” creams appeared on sale. The line included 8 care products for various skin types, and the basis of the creams was, of course, thermal water.

The brand became extremely popular, first in France and then throughout the world. All this thanks to a scientific approach, the conclusion that different types of skin require different care, as well as the desire to please the potential consumer. For that time it was a real revolutionary breakthrough.

Today, the company’s mission is to ensure that, thanks to its products, the skin of girls and women from all over the world, regardless of various unfavorable factors affecting their appearance, remains well-groomed and looks healthy and young for as long as possible. Vichy is a luxury pharmaceutical cosmetics that does not superficially eliminate various skin problems, but eliminates the root causes of such problems.

High quality confirms the brand’s ongoing collaboration with dermatologists. Regular use of a properly selected Vichy cream can effectively, but at the same time safely, transform absolutely any skin, even those prone to allergic reactions or sensitive.

All finished products of the brand are regularly compared with the formula, and specialists examine the quality of texture under a microscope. It is thanks to such strict control that 100% product safety is achieved, which is the main motto of Vichy.

Selection rules

As mentioned earlier, it was the Vichy brand that first began producing cosmetics for different skin types. However, even today, not every girl knows how to correctly determine that same type. So, There are three main types:

Those with dry skin They often suffer from a feeling of tightness and flaking; the first expression lines appear quite early. Such skin most of all needs regular intensive moisturizing and care treatments. Dryness can also occur if you do not drink enough water and protect your skin from environmental influences. In this case, the face may peel off in certain areas. Dry skin can also be sensitive at times.

Oily skin - this is one of the consequences of excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. Owners of such skin suffer from a characteristic oily sheen and enlarged pores. In addition, this type is most susceptible to various types of rashes, pimples and acne. One of the main advantages of such skin is that it is not prone to early formation of wrinkles due to excess sebum, which helps protect it from drying out.

Many girls with oily skin are sure that they do not need to moisturize. Contrary to stereotypes, even this type needs regular high-quality hydration, but with special means, which we will talk about later.

Combination skin - the most common type. It usually combines oily, normal or dry types. The pores in the T-zone are greatly enlarged, but in other areas they are completely invisible. Various rashes and acne on combination skin rarely appear, usually before menstruation. It is the combined type that quite often creates problems at a young age, but at the same time it is not susceptible to premature aging.

When choosing a cream for normal and combination skin, it is best to pay attention to light, fluid textures that are quickly absorbed. This cream is ideal as a base for makeup. Those with oily skin types will also benefit from light textures with an instant mattifying effect, which will make the face look much better. For dry skin types, you should choose thicker, nourishing creams.

Care series

Vichy offers the following care series:

Vichy experts say that at night, problem skin accumulates a fairly large amount of toxins and secretes sebium, which leads to the appearance of imperfections and dullness. The night cream from the series contains salicylic acid, a cleansing complex, eperulin and LHA, thanks to which the skin is cleansed, sebum secretion is normalized and pores are narrowed.

Aqua Thermal - a series designed for owners of dry, normal and combination skin. On sale you can find two options for products focused on light and rich hydration.

The main objective of the Neovadiol line is to improve density and restore facial contours.
