Greetings, my beautiful readers. Tell me, has it ever happened to you that your skin starts to get “cranky” in the fall? She simply stops accepting the cream you use in the summer. Don't be alarmed, this is a completely normal skin reaction during the transition from hot summer to cool autumn. The main thing here is to choose the right care product. The Vichy Aqualia Thermal range is considered an excellent solution. This is exactly what will be discussed in today’s article.
About the Aqualia Thermal series
Many have noticed that during the heating season the indoor air is dry and all moisture is “pulled out” from the skin. At this time, the epidermis needs additional hydration. According to the manufacturer, Aqualia Thermal care products will saturate our skin with moisture.
This range is based on the following main active components:
- Glycerol – this is an amazing element. Helps active substances penetrate into the deepest layers of the epidermis and enhances their absorption. It also creates a film on the surface that protects the skin from dehydration.
- High molecular weight hyaluronic acid — in cosmetics it is not used in its pure form, because has an unstable texture. That's why sodium hyaluronate is used - it breaks down into a pure substance in the skin. Used in the form of sodium hyaluronate. This component is evenly distributed on the surface of the epidermis, creating a thin film. It protects the skin from moisture loss, plus makes it more tender.
- L – carrageenan - promotes uniform distribution of moisture in the skin.
- Aquabioril - softens the dermis and helps retain moisture;
- Thermal water – moisturizes the epidermis and saturates it with minerals. Read about the amazing properties of this component in the article about thermal water.
All Vichy products do not contain parabens. The packaging may contain these words sans paraben-riche. Yes, if you see alcohol denat in the composition, don’t be alarmed. This is a cosmetic alcohol - it is used as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory substance.
There are no age restrictions for Aqualia Thermal cosmetics. Therefore, you can use it from 18 years of age
The Aqualia Thermal series is represented by the following products:
- light day cream;
- night spa care;
- balm for eye contour.
I would like to remind you about the features of using cosmetics in winter. You need to apply day cream 40-60 minutes before going outside. This time is enough for it to be well absorbed. Otherwise, if you go out into the cold with a damp face, this will lead to dehydration of the skin. And other cosmetic problems will quickly appear in a row. They are bored - they don’t walk alone 🙂
ARTICLES ON THE TOPIC:
Light day cream
This product perfectly moisturizes throughout the day. You will forget about the feeling of tightness and dryness of your face. The cream has a gel-like consistency. It distributes well. Can be used as a moisturizer before applying foundation. But you should wait a little until the cream is completely absorbed, otherwise the foundation may roll off. Available in a 40 ml tube.
Light cream Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic moisturizing, Vichy
In addition to the main components, the composition includes:
- hyaluronic acid;
- hydrogenated polyisobutene - an alternative to mineral oil;
- pentaerythryl tetraisostearate is a good alternative to castor oil;
- stearyl dimethicone - moisturizes and creates a protective barrier.
It should be applied to a cleansed face, avoiding the eyelid area. The movements should be light. After application, you need to allow the product to absorb (a few minutes will be enough). And only after that just start applying makeup.
In summer, I recommend using sunscreen after applying day cream. This will protect your skin from sun damage, which means there will be fewer wrinkles. The Vichy brand has a separate Capital Ideal Soleil series. Read more about which product is best to use in this article.
Reviews from those who use this cream help judge the effectiveness of the product. There are many of them on the Internet and I will introduce you to several of them.
Nastyukha: I came across this cream by chance. I was visiting a friend and she bought it. In general, I smeared it on, I liked it and bought it. Now I wouldn't change it for anything.
Elina: This is not a cream, but a godsend. I recommend to everyone.
Marina: After I started using it, my face became so soft. I am delighted and have recommended it to all my friends))
Night SPA care
The concentration of active substances in this product is much greater. In addition to the main moisturizing ingredients of the day cream, squalane is added to the night cream. This component is non-toxic and not subject to oxidation. It softens the skin and is involved in the transport of nutrients to the epidermal cells. Squalane is present in cosmetics intended for dry and dehydrated skin.
Unlike the day cream, the night cream has a thicker texture. In addition, its hydration lasts longer. The product spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. The night cream has a distinct marine aroma. Jar volume – 75 ml.
NIGHT SPA-CARE VICHY AQUALIA THERMAL, Vichy
Apply it to cleansed skin of the face and neck every evening. After use in the morning, the skin will be soft and tender. And you can forget about peeling. For more active hydration, I additionally recommend using masks. Read more about them in the article about face masks from Vichy.
Here are the reviews from people who use this product. Read and draw conclusions.
Inessa: I was impressed by it after the first use. During the heating season, the skin was tight and dry. After the first use in the morning, the face became soft and velvety like peach skin 🙂
Luda: The only downside is the smell - it could have been made more gentle, but it works great!
Alina: I bought this cream after much thought. I didn't regret it. Vishy, as always, did not disappoint.
Eye contour balm
This product is designed to combat bags and dark circles under the eyes. The cosmetic product perfectly combats swelling of the eyelids. The same balm refreshes the skin and moisturizes it. An additional bonus from its use is that wrinkles are smoothed out.
The eye balm has a light, delicate texture. It is a gel-like opaque product with a bluish tint. The smell is a little medicinal, but it dissipates quickly. The balm is a little greasy. By the way, this feature makes it profitable. It lasts me a long time. Despite its oiliness, the balm is quickly absorbed. Bottle volume – 15 ml.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal awakening balm for eye contour, Vichy
Recommended to apply in the morning and/or evening after cleansing the skin. Can be used under makeup. Just apply the eye cream correctly. Read how to do this in this article.
Now I’ll give you a couple of reviews that say more than the manufacturer’s statements.
Ruslana: The balm has a delicate consistency and is pleasant to apply. I’ve only been using it for a week so far – it’s too early to talk about the effect.
Nura: He works. You just need to apply a little at a time. What is not absorbed in 10 minutes needs to be blotted with a napkin, otherwise the bags will increase.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal September 12, 2014
Today we are reviewing a light moisturizer from the Vichy pharmacy brand from the AQUALIA THERMAL series. Judging by the reviews, cosmetic products of this brand cause conflicting feelings among buyers. And I will take the side of the defense and will be happy to write a review of this product.
Turning to Vichy was a salvation for my skin, which recently, due to certain circumstances, has radically changed its type from oily-combination, it has become more of a combination dry...almost dehydrated. Nasty flaking became a scourge on my skin, making it difficult to apply makeup, and my skin literally began to look dry.
Why Vichy? Despite numerous complaints and negative reviews that this cosmetics causes allergic reactions and generally somehow negatively affects the general condition of the skin... I don’t believe it. Rather, it is a matter of an incorrectly selected product or individual intolerance. Because if the manufacturer writes that it is hypoallergenic, paraben-free, tested and under control...then in most cases I believe this. Still, no matter what, these cosmetics are tested in laboratory conditions.
So, in order not to harm my skin, which was once oily and not to overdo it with moisturizing (also because dehydration and dryness are most likely a temporary phenomenon), I opted for a pharmacy light cream promising 48-hour hydration from the AQUALIA THERMAL series, hoping for gentle but effective hydration. And I think I was right.
I have a mini version of this cream in a 40 ml tube. A standard full-size jar contains 50 ml of product. By the way, the difference in price due to the design and 10 ml is quite noticeable, so the mini version is much more profitable and convenient for me.
The manufacturer promises dynamic hydration and uniform distribution of moisture in all areas of the facial skin, softening, freshness and strengthening of protective barriers, increasing elasticity.
All products in the AQUALIA THERMAL series are based on thermal water. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the cream is intended for those with normal, combination, dehydrated and sensitive skin.
The cream is really light, delicate, but the consistency is not liquid, it spreads easily and quickly over the skin, the skin immediately feels more comfortable, acquiring not a greasy, but rather a moist shine. I can easily apply makeup almost immediately after applying the cream. Peeling, dullness, and heterogeneity were removed after 2 days of use. Looks and feels much better and more comfortable. And what is very important, the skin does not become oily faster, that is, it does not bring my skin to its previous oily state. Does not clog pores, does not cause allergic reactions, as well as problems in the form of pimples and other things. Despite all the advantages, this cream is of course unlikely to become part of daily care, as a temporary measure for rescue and SOS recovery just right!
The downside is the smell. Personally, I don't like him at all. Fortunately, it is not persistent and quickly dissipates. That's actually all the negative impressions.
