Great skin care decades in the making

Whether you struggle with acne, aging or oily skin, Vichy offers a wide range of cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating and nourishing solutions for all skin types. But how has one company managed to create such a long list of effective products? The answer: Not overnight!

For nearly 80 years, Vichy has built its impressive reputation by using advanced dermatological research to create effective products. Every solution is formulated with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the physiological mechanisms and ingredients that promote skin health and beauty.

Pristine ingredients

Vichy’s entire skin care line is rooted in natural elements that support healthy skin. Many products incorporate skin-enriching Thermal Spa Water that’s derived from deep within the French mountainside.

For centuries, this soothing water has been celebrated for its nourishing salts and trace elements. More recently, its gentle, cleansing properties and proven ability to strengthen skin's natural protective functions have been recognized by the French Academy of Medicine.

For aging skin

Vichy’s anti-aging formulas include some of the most effective ingredients that slow the signs of aging. Here are a few go-to products that promote healthier, younger-looking skin:

• Restore. Formulated with Fibrocyclamide to plump and caffeine to smooth, Vichy LiftActiv PRO Serum is perfect for those who want to lift, tone and restore skin’s texture. Individuals with all skin types, including sensitive skin, can incorporate this age-fighting formula into their daily regimen.

• Hydrate. Vichy Reti-C SPF 15 is a multitasking moisturizer that blends proven anti-aging ingredients — including retinol and vitamin C — with skin-nourishing Vichy Thermal Spa Water to correct the signs of aging. It also provides a dose of SPF to help protect skin from future damage.

• Reshape. Vichy Neovadiol Contours performs a special anti-aging action around the eyes and mouth. Safe for all skin types, this cream smoothes out fine lines while visibly firming skin to restore the natural contours of the face.

For acne-prone skin

From individual cleansers to comprehensive kits, Vichy offers an arsenal of acne-fighting products. Based on effective ingredients — including salicylic acid and glycolic acid — Vichy’s formulas are designed to clear blemishes from deep within the skin.

For a no-nonsense skin-clearing strategy, try Vichy Normaderm Healthy Skin Clearing Kit. In addition to Vichy Thermal Spa Water, this comprehensive acne system offers a simple, three-step routine:

1. Cleanse. An effective daily cleanser is the cornerstone of any acne-fighting skin care routine. A soap-free and gentle formula, Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel penetrates pores to dissolve oil and other impurities, and includes salicylic acid and glycolic acid to treat blemishes.
2. Tone. Cleansers can leave behind residue that can contribute to acne, so it’s important to follow up with a toner. Formulated with glycolic acid and salicylic acid, Vichy Normaderm Purifying Astringent Toner treats acne while gently refreshing skin.
3. Hydrate. Vichy Normaderm Hydrating Care restores your complexion with healthy hydration. It also features salicylic acid and zincadone to treat existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.

While it’s always essential to include a sunscreen in your daily skin care regimen, keep in mind that using products with glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity. So, before leaving the house, don’t forget to apply an SPF lotion. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Lotion SPF 30 is a gentle, oil-free sunscreen that’s great for all skin types — including acne-prone skin.

Other skin care concerns

• Dry skin. Dry skin demands a specialized skin care regimen that goes beyond a daily moisturizer. Vichy offers products that replenish skin with moisture, including Vichy Aqualia Thermal Cream. Boasting a unique, patented system that uses advanced polymers to deliver moisture deep within the skin, this smoothing balm brings 24 hours of continuous hydration.

For a dry skin regimen, consider Vichy Aqualia Thermal Healthy Skin Hydrating Kit. This complete system features five specially formulated products that work together to treat dry skin, leaving behind a healthy, radiant complexion.

• Oily skin. Vichy understands oily skin and has developed formulas that effectively cleanse, hydrate and tone without leaving behind a greasy residue. Start with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mat, which mattifies skin while delivering mineral-rich Vichy Thermal Spa Water and oil-absorbing Microspheres for a fresh, healthy face.

• Sensitive skin. Finding a gentle, yet effective cleanser for sensitive skin can be stressful. Vichy Purete Thermale Calming Cleansing Solution is a mild, yet potent, solution that purifies pores, lifting away makeup, dirt and other impurities. Blended with rose extract and Vichy Thermal Spa Water, this cleanser soothes irritations and strengthens natural protective processes within the skin.

• Discolored skin. Discoloration or tired skin around the eyes can be corrected with Vichy Aqualia AntiOx Eyes. Containing powerful antioxidants — including citrus polyphenol and essential vitamins — this easy-to-use stick reduces puffiness and dark circles for brighter, more radiant eyes.

When it comes to skin care you can trust, Vichy Laboratoires has stood the test of time. For decades, Vichy has blended innovative science and research to create products that optimize the health of skin. Whether you struggle with aging, acne or skin type-specific concerns, turn to Vichy for smart skin care solutions.
