Reviews
Maria K.: “The cream is killer - it masks everything. I have never tried real makeup, but it seems to me that this is exactly what it is. If you choose the right tone, there will be no mask or plaster effect. It seems to me that it can last for two days, but I haven’t tried that long. Not every product washes off.”
Tatyana: “I used Vichy Normaderm. After I found out that it was discontinued, I bought Dermablend. Very pleased! Hides post-acne and scars well. The texture is dense, but you need to watch your makeup - after a couple of hours, an oily sheen still appears, but not as pronounced as with Normaderm. I advise."

Features of Vichy foundation creams
All Vichy foundations perform not only a decorative function, but also a caring one. They contain active ingredients that moisturize and nourish the skin.
Vichy foundations are great for girls even with very sensitive skin.
All Vichy foundations do not clog pores even with prolonged contact with the skin.
Vichy creams are adapted for different skin types.
Teint Ideal Foundation
The effect fully corresponds to the name of the product, which is translated from French as “Ideal Tone”. In a variety of countries, this cream is loved because it spreads easily and evenly. Even a beginner can handle the application.
The caring composition of the product deserves special attention. The formula contains vitamins C and E, Vichy Spa thermal water and SPF 20.
The consistency of the fluid is very light, which does not prevent it from easily evening out skin tone and lasting up to 14 hours. The finish is not too matte, but not dewy either, rather velvety. The cream does not settle into wrinkles; on the contrary, it visually smoothes them out.
The product is best suited for girls with normal and combination skin. The fluid controls the appearance of oily shine, but does not dry out the skin.
To achieve the perfect result, watch our instructional video, where we explain in detail exactly how to apply foundation.
Corrective foundation Dermablend
This product is perfect for girls who love thick coverage.
A fluid with a high concentration of masking pigment hides any imperfections on the skin - even scars and hyperpigmentation. At the same time, it does not create a mask effect on the face and allows the skin to breathe.
The finish is matte, without a hint of dewy shine. The product has enviable durability, will last up to 16 hours, and the skin will not become oily, even if you do not set your makeup with loose powder.
An added benefit is that Dermablend covers problem areas so well that you don't have to use concealer or concealer with it. The product is ideal for creating evening makeup.
Tip: since the coverage of the fluid is thick, use a primer or moisturizer before application, especially if you have naturally dry skin.
Foundation with lifting effect Liftactiv Flexlift
A boon for skin with signs of aging. In addition to the fact that the cream perfectly evens out the tone and masks imperfections, it also takes care of skin health - it contains Vichy mineralizing thermal water, an innovative collagen complex that smooths out wrinkles, as well as an SPF 20 sunscreen filter.
The undoubted advantages of the product include the fact that it does not accumulate in wrinkles and does not emphasize them.
The coverage of the cream is light, very natural, not as thick as Dermablend, with a slightly dewy finish. At the same time, Liftactiv Flexlift is quite durable: you can not renew the tone for 8 hours.
After applying the product, the skin looks rested and healthy - as if you had a good night's sleep.
Suitable for all skin types: dry - moisturizes, in case of combination - does not clog pores and does not cause oily shine. It can be a real salvation for girls with sensitive skin.
Corrective cream BB Clear Normaderm
Dedicated to fans of weightless caring foundations! Normaderm correction cream is suitable even for girls with problematic and sensitive skin.
The formula includes Vichy Spa thermal water, mineral pigments and salicylic acid. The BB cream is almost invisible on the skin, but does an excellent job of being a foundation.
Thanks to the beneficial ingredients in Normaderm, immediately after application it evens out the skin tone, making it visually fresh and rested. With regular use for four weeks, you will notice an improvement in the quality of your skin.
Texture: weightless, non-greasy. It is not felt on the skin, does not clog pores: during application it seems that this is more of a care product than decorative cosmetics. The coating is as natural as possible, slightly damp.

- Tatyana January 9, 01:57 In the modern world, people meet each other, as they say, by their clothes and first of all pay attention to their faces. At work and in everyday life, you meet dozens of people every day and you want your skin to look 100 percent. However, nature has gifted me with a lot of imperfections - enlarged pores, oily shine, blackheads and occasional rashes. It is impossible to completely cope with these problems with skincare products, so I learned how to properly mask and correct them - the Dermablend corrective foundation from Vichy helped me with this. At one time I tried a lot of foundations and BB creams of various brands and price categories, but I found my ideal only in Dermablend from Vichy. The fluid is easy to apply, blends well, leaving no clear boundaries of application on the skin. I use tone 25, it suits my complexion and doesn’t stand out on my skin, even if I don’t apply it all over my face, but only on problem areas. The cream goes on like a second skin, hides imperfections in one layer, it is absolutely not felt on the face, there is no mask effect, the skin breathes. It is very important for me that the cream does not cause new pimples to appear and does not clog pores, but rather effectively dries out existing inflammations. The cream does not roll off on my face, no matter what base I apply under makeup. If you apply the fluid in the morning, it stays on the skin in excellent shape until late in the evening and there is no need to touch up your makeup or powder throughout the day. The fluid is highly pigmented, it perfectly hides inflammation, blackheads, acne marks and age spots, the face looks perfect, as if after Photoshop. The cream perfectly mattifies the skin and oily shine does not appear throughout the day. I often do peeling masks and often use products with acids in my care, so the undoubted advantage of Dermablend from Vichy is that it contains SPF 35, which provides excellent protection from the sun. The cream has a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma, is available in several colors, is economical to use and has a relatively low cost. I didn’t find any cons in this product; it has permanently settled in my cosmetic bag.
