Features of Vichy moisturizing creams

There is no need to once again remind us of the importance of regularly moisturizing the epidermis, because the problem of dehydration is familiar to everyone, regardless of skin type. True, finding the perfect moisturizer is not the first time. Either the texture is not satisfactory, or the effect does not live up to expectations, or the formula turns out to be too aggressive for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions.

By choosing cosmetics from a range of drugstore brands, you can be sure that the risk of irritation is minimized. After all, all dermatocosmetics are hypoallergenic and do not contain potentially dangerous ingredients. If you decide to turn to the “water resources” of the Vichy brand, then the following information will be useful to you.

Vichy medical expert Elena Eliseeva explains:

“If, for example, only glycerin is used as a hydrofix, the product will have mediocre moisturizing properties, simply preventing the evaporation of existing moisture from the skin.

If you create a formula based on fashionable hyaluronic acid alone, the amount of fluid in the epidermis will significantly increase. However, it will not stay there for long, since it will easily evaporate through microscopic damage to the structure of the stratum corneum.”

The signature unique ingredient in the products is Vichy thermal water: 15 minerals and trace elements restore pH balance and strengthen the protective functions of the skin.

Aqualia Thermal Line “Dynamic Humidification”

Signs of skin dehydration are well known and can be easily identified without the help of experts:

small wrinkles - so-called “dehydration lines”;

feeling of tightness after contact with water;

dull complexion.

However, skin suffering from a lack of moisture has another important characteristic - uneven distribution of fluid in the tissues. The fact is that some areas of the face lose moisture much faster than others, and this is due to three factors.

1. Permeability of the stratum corneum (transepidermal water loss).

2. Activity of aquaporin proteins.

3. Glycosaminoglycan deficiency.

In areas where the hydrolipid mantle is insufficient, thinned or damaged, water will not be retained. That is why the areas of the eyelids, lip contour and cheekbones dehydrate most quickly, while the forehead and lower jaw line maintain normal hydration levels for a long time. “It has been proven that a lack of glycosaminoglycans and the inactivity of aquaporins, which deliver water from cell to cell, lead to the fact that some areas of the skin do not receive enough moisture, even if in other areas it is sufficient.” Elena Eliseeva

Composition and components

The list of ingredients contains several hygroscopic substances.

Aquabioril

protects the skin from dehydration by creating a protective breathable film on its surface that fills microdamages in the skin;

gives the texture lightness and freshness, providing a feeling of pleasure while using creams.

Hyaluronic acid

This ingredient deeply moisturizes the epidermis and increases the level of glycosaminoglycans in the skin.

L-carrageenan

The natural disaccharide is responsible for intercellular hydroexchange and uniform distribution of moisture in tissues.

Moisturizing creams Aqualia Thermal

Light cream Aqualia Thermal “Dynamic hydration”

The airy, refreshing cream immediately relieves the feeling of tightness, provides a feeling of freshness and comfort throughout the day, and gives the skin a radiant appearance and smoothness. By saturating the cells with moisture and evenly distributing it over all areas of the face, the formula prevents the formation of dehydration lines.

Reviews:

“The texture is like a gel. After application, the skin seems to be covered with a film, and then becomes velvety. Moisturizes well." Irina

Since I have combi skin, I use the light version. It’s a bit heavy in the summer, but in the off-season and especially in winter it’s just great. Doesn’t clog pores.” Tatiana

Rich cream Aqualia Thermal “Dynamic hydration”

It has a richer texture due to shea butter, which gives an additional feeling of protection and comfort to skin prone to dryness and flaking. The technology of moisturizing and distributing moisture in cells remains unchanged.

Reviews:

“Wonderful cream! I already bought a second jar. Perfectly moisturizes the skin. Nice smell. Highly recommend". Anna

“I liked it, the smell is really amazing, the cream itself is also good - like water on the face, it refreshes and moisturizes.” Catherine

Night spa treatment Aqualia Thermal

The composition of the cream with a high content of Vichy thermal water, hyaluronic acid and aquabioril is supplemented with nourishing oils that do not weigh down the texture. It can be used both as a night cream and as a mask for deep hydration. Absorbs perfectly without leaving a greasy film. Provides the effect of rested, “full”, smooth skin.

Reviews:

“Complete delight! Enjoying my face! I've been using this cream at night for 2 weeks now, and everything has changed. Before this I had dehydrated skin. Heater in the car, harsh makeup removers dry. This cream is a lifesaver! I can’t imagine how I lived without him before!” Olga

The skin has become very soft and tender, you just want to touch it. Thanks to this cream, the skin rests at night.” Anna

Aqualia Thermal Awakening Eye Balm

It works on the principle of dynamic hydration, uniformly saturating every cell with moisture. Contains caffeine, known for its ability to improve microcirculation and have a drainage effect.

Reviews:

“When I bought this cream, I didn’t expect anything special. It lightens the circles under the eyes, but does not completely remove them. But in terms of hydration, I'm delighted. The feeling of tightness is completely gone. The skin became fresher." Daria

“I suffer from dark, even purple, circles under the eyes and fine wrinkles due to dehydration around the eyes. Other creams rolled off and irritated the eyes and caused redness.

This gel is easy to apply, pleasantly moisturizes, does not clump, and most importantly, does not cause redness or tears.

I’ve only been using it for a week, so it hasn’t saved me from circles yet, and I don’t believe in instant magic creams. But I’m already glad that I have it! The main thing is not to overdo it with the quantity. If you apply a lot, it won’t be completely absorbed, but this flaw can be easily corrected by blotting off the excess with a napkin.” Irina

Aqualia Thermal Day Spa Treatment

Aquagel instantly quenches the thirst of dehydrated skin and maintains an optimal level of moisture for 48 hours. Rich in Vichy thermal water minerals, the cream restores the skin's moisture balance and strengthens its protective properties.

Reviews:

“I use a sample of this cream. I want to say that he does his job perfectly! Perfectly moisturizes the skin, delicate scent. And to prevent anything from slipping, you just need to not overdo it! A small amount of cream and everything is OK!” Julia

This is the best remedy I have tried. When you apply it to your skin, you feel such pleasure! I've been using it for almost 2 years. I know that I need to change my care, but I can’t refuse.” Elena

"One of the best creams for my entire life. Ideal after sunbathing and peeling procedures. This is not the first time I order and I don’t regret it.” Irina

“I really liked this one gentle cream-gel. I myself am a fan of only gel-like creams with a light texture. It fits perfectly, is quickly absorbed, and does not leave an oily sheen on the skin. Now he's my favorite." Anastasia

How to choose the right product

Aqualia Thermal is a universal line that is suitable for skin of any type suffering from lack of moisture. However, the formula of the day cream is presented in two versions:

light texture for normal/combination/oily skin, optimal choice for the warm season;

Косметика Vichy очень популярна как во всем мире, так и в России. Наверняка в коллекции многих читателей найдется хотя бы одно средство от этого бренда. А что насчет линии Aqualia Thermal Vichy? Отзывы о этой серии неоднозначны. Давайте познакомимся со всеми наименованиями поближе. А также рассмотрим мнения покупателей.

Легкий крем «Динамичное увлажнение»

Лидирует по отзывам Aqualia Thermal Vichy «Динамичное увлажнение». Легкая структура крема позволяет равномерно увлажнять все зоны кожи лица. Он мгновенно убирает стянутость, эффективно борется с обезвоживанием, призван обеспечить комфорт и ощущение свежести в течение дня. Устраняет дисбаланс влаги в коже, предотвращает появление линий обезвоженности, улучшает цвет лица.

Крем представляется как гипоаллергенное средство, не содержащее в составе парабенов. Тестирование его свойств, по словам изготовителя, проходило под контролем дерматологов.

Действующие компоненты «Динамичного увлажнения»

Отзывы о Aqualia Thermal Vichy, легком увлажняющем креме, порой содержат в себе противоречивую информацию об активных компонентах. Сам же производитель говорит о следующих действующих элементах:

1. Легендарная термальная вода Vichy, обладающая успокаивающими, восстанавливающими и укрепляющими свойствами.
2. Гиалуроновая кислота, не только увлажняющая, но и удерживающая в коже влагу.
3. Аквабиорил, мгновенно и длительно увлажняющий эпидермис.
4. Каррагинан, способствующий равномерному распределению воды.

The product is a light moisturizing cream with a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma. Its structure is non-greasy and non-sticky.

The instructions for use are simple: apply the cream to the face in the morning or evening after applying the serum to brighten the skin.

What is the effect of systematic use of the product? The manufacturer promises that sufficiently moisturized skin will become radiant and soft, and lines of dehydration will be smoothed out.

"Night SPA treatment"

But there are unfairly few reviews about Aqualia Thermal Vichy “Night SPA Treatment”. The manufacturer highlights the product in that it can have a moisturizing effect on the skin for 48 hours. It is noted that traces of fatigue are erased overnight!

Reviews of Aqualia Thermal Vichy characterize this cream as “the first night spa ritual designed specifically for sensitive skin.” It is noted that the product can activate the protective functions of the epidermis. Like the other products in the series, this product is hypoallergenic and does not contain parabens. Its effectiveness has been tested under the supervision of dermatologists.

Active ingredients of Night Care

The active ingredients in the cream are as follows:

1. Thermal mineralizing water with a soothing, regenerating and strengthening effect on the skin.
2. Hyaluronic acid is a component that can not only moisturize, but also retain moisture in the layers of the skin.
3. Aquabioril is an original discovery of Vichy, which allows you to instantly and at the same time long-term moisturize the skin.
4. Complex of nourishing oils.

There are two ways to use Night SPA Treatment:

1. Apply to the face and neck before bed. The manufacturer advises avoiding contours around the eyes.
2. The cream can also be used as a mask once or twice a week.

The manufacturer promises that the condition of the skin will change overnight. The cream will give you a feeling of comfort and moisture. The skin will be transformed into soft, fresh, radiant and elastic to the touch.

Moisturizing rich cream for dry to very dry skin

Reviews of Aqualia Thermal Vichy creams contain many customer opinions about this product with a more specific effect. The manufacturer testifies that this is the first range of components in the Vichy line, which includes a special moisturizing “isotonic cocktail”. It is he who actively restores the water-mineral balance of the skin.

The following effects from use are promised (unfortunately, not all of them are confirmed by reviews of Aqualia Thermal Vichy creams):

1. Comprehensive skin hydration for 48 hours after application.
2. Transforms skin into hydrated and fresh.
3. Smoothing lines of dehydration.
4. Restoration of water-mineral balance.

It is important to note that 97% of the components in the composition are of natural origin. The remaining 3%, as the manufacturer says, guarantees a pleasant structure of the cream and ensures its storage. Another important fact: the product formula is absolutely hypoallergenic.

Active Ingredients of Rich Moisturizer

Let's now figure out what an “isotonic cocktail” is. Vichy experts used this term to describe a complex of:

1. mineralizing thermal water obtained using proprietary technology;
2. hyaluronic acid of natural origin (the component allows you to effectively retain moisture in the layers of the skin and reduce its transepidermal loss);
3. vegetable sugar Mannose.

The product is suitable for dry to very dry sensitive skin. Vichy guarantees that the cream does not contain:

1. parabens;
2. silicones;
3. phenoxyethanol;
4. mineral oils;
5. polyethylene glycol.

The effectiveness of the cream is not an advertising feature. Vichy claims that the effect of the product was tested under the supervision of dermatologists.

The method of use is simple: apply the product to cleansed facial skin in the morning and evening. Can also be used after serum.

Moisturizing light cream for normal skin

Reviews of Aqualia Thermal Vichy light moisturizing cream for normal skin indicate that its properties and composition are similar to the previous one. But the formula here has one difference. Namely, it is designed for normal skin.

The words of the buyers are confirmed by the manufacturer. The cream provides the same effect:

1. Moisturize the skin within 48 hours after applying the composition.
2. The effect of fresh and moisturized skin.
3. Smoothing lines of dehydration.
4. Restoring water and mineral balance using a special “isotonic cocktail”.
5. 100% hypoallergenic formula.
6. 97% natural ingredients in the composition.

The product is also suitable for sensitive skin. The manufacturer guarantees that its composition does not contain silicones, parabens, mineral oils, phenoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol (the issue of the content of these components in Vichy products worries many authors of reviews about Aqualia Thermal Vichy for the face). The effectiveness of the cream has been clinically proven during testing under the supervision of dermatologists.

Active ingredients of light moisturizer

Let's also take a closer look at the main ingredients:

1. Vichy thermal water. The main advantage of the component is that it is enriched with 15 microelements and minerals, restores normal pH balance, protects the epidermis, promotes its regeneration, and also improves the barrier functions of the skin and effectively moisturizes it.
2. Mannose sugar. A component of natural origin, which is obtained from beech, birch or maple wood. Promotes deep hydration of the skin, enhances regeneration and improves cell adhesion.
3. Hyaluronic acid. This natural component of human skin is one of the most effective hydrostatic agents. The hyaluronic acid molecule is similar to a sponge: it can hold a volume of water molecules that is 1000 times its own weight. Forms a protective film on the surface of the epidermis, moisturizes and smoothes the skin.

Instructions for using the product are simple: apply it morning and evening to cleansed facial skin. Can be used after serum.

Awakening balm for eye contours

Let's figure out why there are so many rave reviews about Aqualia Thermal Vichy for the eyes. The fact is that this product is designed to effectively combat bags and dark circles.

The manufacturer himself characterizes his product as the first balm for the skin around the eyes. The product promotes uniform distribution of moisture in the skin of this sensitive area. This helps ensure you look fresh and rested throughout the day.

The product contains several active ingredients:

1. Hyaluronic acid instantly and permanently nourishes the skin with moisture.
2. Aquabioril, which gives a long-lasting moisturizing effect.
3. Carrageenan promotes uniform distribution of moisture throughout the skin.
4. Glycerin, which has a softening effect. Here this component is presented in the highest concentration among Aqualia Thermal Vichy products.
5. Thermal water that protects, soothes and regenerates the skin.
6. Caffeine has a drainage effect and improves blood microcirculation.

Review of product quality reviews

Of course, the effect of each cream will be individual for each case. But if you analyze the reviews, you can find the following general characteristics of the products:

1. The creams are quickly absorbed, perfectly moisturize the skin without tightening it with a film and leaving no unpleasant stickiness.
2. The consistency of creams and balms is quite delicate and pleasant to the skin.
3. The products do not contain UV filters, and therefore are not able to fully protect the skin; you need to purchase additional products.
4. The effect of use is felt not for 48 declared hours, but for about 12 hours.
5. Rescue for combination skin: products relieve oily areas from shine, and dry areas from flaking and irritation.
6. The law “the more the better” does not apply here. The products should be applied a little at a time to avoid the unpleasant effect of oily skin.
7. The cream may not be suitable for normal skin: some authors testify that a sticky, oily film remains on the face. As if glycerin had been applied.
8. There are often cases when creams, on the contrary, could not fill dry skin with moisture. The product was quickly absorbed, leaving minimal effect.

Pros of use

If we look at reviews of Aqualia Thermal Vichy (light cream, eye balm, night care, etc.), we can highlight the main advantages of the line:

1. The products are well absorbed and do not leave a film on the surface of the skin.
2. Economical use.
3. Decent price/quality ratio.
4. Pleasant aroma.
5. Excellent texture - does not make the skin oily and does not leave stickiness.
6. Really effective moisturizing even for dry skin.

Disadvantages of use

But in other reviews about Aqualia Thermal Vichy (night, light cream, “Dynamic Moisturizing”, etc.) we can read the following:

1. The cream does not sufficiently moisturize the skin.
2. Relatively high cost.
3. Light creams cannot be called such.
4. The products do not contain UV filters.

Aqualia Thermal Vichy is a special line of products from Vichy that allows you to provide effective hydration to any skin type. But customer reviews are quite contradictory: you can highlight both worthy advantages and annoying disadvantages.
