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."

BB cream >
Greetings, my beautiful readers! I think you will agree that when buying foundation, you need not only to choose the right shade. It is also necessary to take into account your skin type and how the coating stays on during the day. To make this task easier for you, today I’ll tell you how each Vichy foundation differs. Customer reviews will help me with this. I have already described almost all the remedies for Vichy separately in other articles. Therefore, today’s article is a brief overview of the tonal products of this brand.
Dermablend
Dermablend foundations are products for daily use. They are a real salvation for various skin problems. Even if you have a tattoo and want to “hide” it, Vichy Dermablend will help with this.
Dermablend foundations perfectly mask dermatosis, vitiligo, complex acne and other skin problems. And the masking effect lasts for a long time - up to 16 hours
There are 2 coating options in the Vichy Dermablend line. fluid and foundation.
Fluid Suitable for all skin types. This includes 4 different shades: opal, nude, porcelain and sand. I am publishing the three most common ones, and see the porcelain one on the Vichy website.
Foundation Suitable for oily, acne-prone skin (shades also available to choose from). The composition contains salicylic acid and eperulin, so this product also has medicinal properties. It very gently soothes inflamed skin, softening it. Read more about Dermablend foundations in the article “Vichy Dermablend”.
ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:
Normaderm
The Normaderm series is designed to create makeup and provide a healing effect for problem skin. If there are enlarged pores and/or oily shine on the face, with varying degrees of inflammation. For more information about the medicinal products in this line, read the article “Vichy Normaderm line for problem skin.”
Now in this series there is only one BB cream left in a light shade. Vichy's main focus is on Dermablen foundations. They are more durable for hiding obvious imperfections, because... better suited for this skin type. But, if your skin is too oily, then try BB creams. It contains salicylic acid, which reduces sebum production.
This product has a light, delicate texture. It can be used without fear from the age of twenty. If you use it regularly, after 4 weeks, skin imperfections are significantly reduced.

Anti-aging Liftactiv Flexilift
Hiding the imperfections of young, elastic skin is much easier and simpler. Unfortunately, with age, wrinkles appear. However, now we are not talking about daily care products, and I have already described them in the article “Vichy creams after 50 years”. If you try to hide your wrinkles with a regular foundation, nothing good will come of it. The applied foundation will accumulate in the folds, making them even more noticeable. And instead of hiding your age, you will add it.
Another thing is the Vichy Liftactiv Flexilift foundation. It is created for gentle care of mature skin. This foundation product is recommended for use from 35-40 years old. But some women use it to mask defects at an earlier age. It’s impossible to say for sure here - it all depends on the condition of the skin.
Vichy cream Liftactiv Flexilift has an amazing composition:
- silicone base - which ensures uniform application of the cosmetic product. This elastic component does not tighten the skin. Thanks to it, the foundation does not accumulate in wrinkles and does not emphasize them;
- Collagyl is an innovative complex. Day after day, it effectively fights the signs of aging. And after just a month of regular use of the cosmetic product, wrinkles become barely noticeable;
- SPF20 protection – which is necessary at any time of the year;
- carnauba wax – prevents skin dehydration, and visually fills in obvious wrinkles.
Liftactiv Flexilift foundation is available in 3 shades: flesh, sand and opal tones. Finding the right shade will not be difficult.
Valuation of Vichy funds
Reviews from those who use these products will help you judge the effectiveness of foundations. By the way, I note that they are mostly positive. See for yourself!
Lerik: Amazing product. The cream is so delicate, it is completely invisible on the face. Covers my age spots perfectly. The skin is smooth. I've been using it for several years now and am very pleased! I look much younger - I compare myself with old photos and have hardly changed for 10 years)))
Alenka: It really works. Covers skin imperfections well. I have pronounced pigment spots and spider veins on my face. So with this cream they are almost invisible. but it has a drawback - a greasy shine appears on the face. I want to try and buy normaderm for oily skin. First apply it, and then foundation.
Martha: It was perfect for my very, very sensitive skin. But I only apply it to my cheekbones and nose, and then gently smear it. The foundation blends perfectly with my skin tone.
Sofushka: After applying the foundation, your face becomes as soft as a peach. There is no feeling of dryness or tightness of the skin. And another advantage is that the fluid works for a very long time. Until the evening, my makeup is simply flawless. And the foundation doesn’t stain your clothes))) Its price is a little steep, but it lasts a long time.
Masha: My rating is 5+. I have very oily skin. So with this cream the oily shine only appears in the evening. I found a way out - I just carefully blot my face with a napkin, and then powder it.
Rita: I tried many different foundation creams, but settled on this one. It masks acne well. But there is one nuance - you need to adapt to it. To apply the second layer I use a sponge. And the first layer is calmly applied with the pads of your fingers.
Manya: Respect to the creators of the foundation. Works great!

Women approach the choice of foundation for their face with all responsibility and attention. After all, it must perfectly match the skin color so that it lies evenly. The complexion should be healthy. Of course, every woman wants to choose the most optimal foundation option for herself. One of the most common foundation creams is Vichy brand cream. But what are the features of this cosmetics? Why do women prefer it over other types?
Vichy skin foundation
If we talk about the advantages and disadvantages, then you can find many more advantages. What are the advantages:
- even tone after application;
- masks imperfections effectively;
- The skin does not dry out after using the foundation.
Perhaps one main drawback is the not very rich palette of shades. Let's consider the possible options for foundation from Vichy.
Foundation Normateint
The manufacturer confidently says that this cream is perfect for oily and combination skin types. The foundation has high durability.
The skin color is healthy, like velvet. The composition includes the Zinkadon ATM complex, which perfectly heals the skin.
There is a rating according to which this one ranks first. If you look at the cream from the point of view of the consumer, then you can find several disadvantages. In reality, it hides acne very poorly and does not fight oiliness well. The cream covers the face with a fairly even layer, but after application it seems that the face is covered with a thick layer of clay. It kind of weighs on the skin. There are only 3 main tones in the collection. The cost of one tube is 650 rubles.
Dermablend
Dermablend can be classified as a product that has a very high concentration of pigments and a plastic structure. That is why the foundation lies evenly on the face, and perfectly hides circles and bruises under the eyes.
It also masks age spots and various types of redness well. But after applying the cream, the face does not have a natural color. Skin cells cannot breathe well through such a layer. Since the texture of the cream is quite dense, after a couple of hours it may begin to roll into lumps.
What is Avon Mattifying Foundation?
What reviews exist about Revlon Color Stay foundation are indicated in this article.
But what reviews exist about Maybelline Affiniton 24 hour foundation are listed here:

Therefore, in this case, you need to constantly monitor your face and correct your makeup, otherwise the consequences will not be very pleasant. But among these shortcomings, one positive point can be highlighted.
The composition contains a huge amount of coloring substances, which helps to save on it. There is also a little trick that professionals recommend. They say that you can mix your regular moisturizer and this foundation and apply it to your skin. This helps to lie on the skin in an even, natural layer. Vichy Dermablend will cost 700 rubles.

Aera" Teint (Aira Tent)
After its appearance, it caused a lot of discussion among women. The cream contains thermal water, it should moisturize the skin very well. It also contains sunscreen filters that can prevent unnecessary sun damage..
This ultimately helps combat early skin aging. But, despite this, many women neglect this product and use the previously released analogue Ballet.
Judging by the reviews, after using Vichy Aera Teint the skin for some reason becomes tight and very dry, even the presence of thermal water does not help. The foundation doesn't do a very good job of concealing either. Of course, the texture is quite decent, the cream is expensive, but it doesn’t hide imperfections well.
Wrinkles and pimples will still be visible after application. Also, during application, the cream is difficult to distribute well and evenly over the face. Even a sponge or brush won’t help with this. It can severely clog pores, which ultimately causes inflammation. Removing foundation from your face is also quite difficult. But the cream has a rich palette. The price of a tube is 1000 rubles.
Normaderm Teint
Norma Tent is intended for combination and oily skin. This foundation is a favorite among women. The consistency of the cream is quite liquid, applies well to the skin and dries quickly. But due to the not very dense structure, it does not hide any serious problems. But it eliminates small defects perfectly. The foundation is able to adapt to your skin type without clogging your pores.
Also, the foundation can resist ultraviolet rays. Like any product, this one has its drawbacks. The cream does not hide peeling, but on the contrary, can emphasize it. There is disagreement about durability.
Experts have developed this cream specifically for problematic skin types prone to oiliness. Helps to get rid of oiliness in a short time, and make the color matte and even. The collection includes 3 shades of this product. The cost of a tube is 700 rubles.

Liftactiv
Liftactive is anti-aging. The composition contains a large number of pigment particles. After applying it to the skin of the face, you don’t even feel its texture, the cream is so light. It hides minor imperfections perfectly. Able to blend in with or adapt to skin color. Pores are not able to become clogged after applying the cream, which is a big plus.
It is very easy to spread the foundation over your entire face, since the consistency of the product is liquid. There is a significant drawback: the lifting effect claimed by the manufacturer does not appear. The cream contains alcohol. But at the same time, it does not tighten or dry the skin. The cost will be about 1000 rubles.
Liftactiv Flexilift (Flexilift)
This Flexilift product can remove fat very well. But in addition to this, the developers tried and enhanced the effect. The product can fight the appearance of unwanted wrinkles. There should be no difficulties during application. It is liquid, so it spreads very well over the face. The coating is applied in a thin layer.
The cream is based on thermal water, which is extracted from French springs. It does not tighten the skin, but is applied to it like silicone. As a result, all wrinkles become invisible. And, of course, the cream does not get into the pores.
Collagyl is a special complex that can fight wrinkles and has a tightening effect. Particles with a reflective effect help make your skin color look natural. There are 4 colors in this line of foundations. They are similar to the shades of Alliance Perfect foundation. Any of them can fight wrinkles within a month. The price of a tube of cream is 1400 rubles.
Dermablend – corrective fluid
The product does an excellent job of correcting the skin. The corrective fluid is unique. The structure of the cream is quite light, which allows it to be applied to the skin without any difficulties. It is distributed perfectly over the surface, and the applied layer lies evenly. Active pigments in the cream occupy 25%.
This allows you to hide imperfections and imperfections of the skin. It can hide freckles, scars, wrinkles, pimples, acne. The foundation is suitable for both sensitive and very sensitive skin. The sun protection filter in the cream is very high, which is an undeniable advantage. Within 16 hours, fat secretions stop being released. The line of this foundation includes 3 shades. Cost 1400 rubles.
Idealia
It belongs to the category of BB creams. The manufacturer has made the formula unique; this product has exclusive Anti-Grey technology. It is able to penetrate deep into the skin and exert its influence there. If you constantly use this product, a woman can fight gray skin.
Vichy Idealia, like Loreal Infaillible foundation, can not only disguise imperfections on the face, but also moisturize the face, give it softness and elasticity. The color becomes very beautiful and natural. This cream can be used by girls and women of any age. In any case, the result will be very good: a healthy and well-groomed appearance.
