Vichy Moisturizing Cream

We closely study the moisturizing line of the Vichy pharmacy brand and choose our cream based on scientific data and user reviews.

Features of Vichy Moisturizers

There is no need to remind once again about the importance of regular moisturizing of the epidermis, because the problem of dehydration is familiar to everyone, regardless of skin type. True, finding the perfect moisturizer is far from the first time. Either the texture does not suit you, or the effect does not live up to expectations, or the formula is too aggressive for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions.

By choosing cosmetics from the range of pharmacy brands, you can be sure that the risk of irritation is minimized. After all, all dermocosmetics 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 come in handy.

Vichy formulas always include more than one moisturizing ingredient: the combination of superficial and deep hydrating agents ensures optimal moisture retention in the deep layers of the skin.

Vichy medical expert Elena Eliseeva explains:

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

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

Deep and long-lasting hydration of the skin provides a complex of ingredients with a similar effect and different mechanism of action.

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

Moisturizing is essential for all skin types and ages.

Line Aqualia Thermal “Dynamic Hydration”

Signs of dehydrated skin are well known and easily identified without the help of experts:

  • small wrinkles – the so-called “lines of dehydration”;

  • feeling of tightness after contact with water;

  • dull complexion.

However, skin suffering from a lack of moisture has another important characteristic – the 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 hydrolipidic mantle is insufficient, thinned or damaged, water will not linger. That is why the areas of the eyelids, the contour of the lips and cheekbones are most quickly dehydrated, and the forehead and the line of the lower jaw for a long time keep the moisture level normal. “It has been proven that the 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 receive less moisture, even if there is enough in other areas.” Elena Eliseeva

A distinctive feature of the Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration line is deep skin hydration combined with an even distribution of moisture in the tissues.

Composition and components

There are several hygroscopic substances in the list of ingredients.

Aquabioril

  • protects the skin from dehydration, creating a protective breathable film on its surface that fills the microdamages of the skin;

  • gives the texture lightness and freshness, providing a feeling of pleasure during the use of creams.

hyaluronic acid

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

L-carrageenan

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

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

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

The cream moisturizes very well. I bought the light version, but even it turned out to be quite oily. If the skin is dry and dehydrated, this cream is the best salvation. I don’t advise using it in the summer, it provokes oiliness in the T-zone for me, so I switch to Idealia. But for winter and autumn – that’s it. Victoria

“When I bought this cream, I did not expect anything special. It brightens under eye circles but doesn’t completely eliminate them. But in terms of hydration, I’m delighted. The feeling of tightness is completely gone. The skin is fresher.” Darya

“I suffer from dark, even purple, circles under my eyes and fine lines due to dehydration around my eyes. Other creams rolled down and irritated the eyes, causing redness.

This gel is applied easily, pleasantly moisturizes, does not roll, and most importantly – does not cause redness and tears.

I’ve only been using it for a week, so I haven’t saved it from circles yet, and I don’t believe in instant magic creams. But I’m happy with what I have! The main thing is not to overdo it with the quantity. If you apply a lot, it is not completely absorbed, but this flaw is easy to fix by blotting the excess with a napkin. Irina
