I received this product free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. Thanks Chick Advisor and Vichy for protecting my skin this summer! its an amazing feeling to put this after taking too much sun. makes your body feel cool and fresh ,.

NOTE: I received this product from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club in return for a review of this product. ------- I received this product along with some sunscreens from VICHY. At first I thought this was going to be something like an aloe lotion, but when it came I was surprised to find it was an oil product. This product did not really state it's use as an "after-sun" product. To me, it seemed more like an in-shower moisturiser or dry oil. When I think of "After sun" products i usually think of something soothing rather than moisturising. I appreciate the idea of it and the product itself was nice, but I don't know whether it should be marketed as "after-sun" because it doesn't really fit into a sun routine. The product can either be applied directly to dry akin or in shower and then rinsed off. I only used it on dry skin because I used it after getting out of the pool. I put it on after getting out of the pool and before going back inside because it felt like I had washed off the sunscreen in the pool and was restoring moisture to the skin after being in a chlorinated pool. I don't think I would use it in the shower because it would make the floor very slippery. I liked the product and a little goes a LONG way, and it comes in a pump so you don't use too much. I liked that it helped restore some oils to my skin after stripping them in the pool, but don't see this as a necessary product in a suncare routine. I really liked the smell, it was slightly perfumed though and might not be the best for someone with a lot of sensitivities to fragrance. I think I'll probably save it for winter when my skin gets dry and try it in shower at that point. I'd market it as more of an all-purpose moisturising oil rather than an after sun lotion, but that's just my opinion.

While I really wanted to like this product because of the other 2 Vichy samples I received, it just didn't make the cut. I used it once on dry skin and the rest of the time in the shower, mainly because it was sooooo greasy and made a mess on my bathroom floor. Even in the shower it stuck to the floor which made it super slippery and nearly dangerous. What's worse is that I really couldn't tell if it was actually doing anything different for my skin/tan. Above everything else though was the scent. I was at work and could smell something out of the ordinary but couldn't put my finger on it until I started to smell my skin lol it was subtle but "off" just didn't leave a fresh or even clean smell. For the price I have to give it a pass.

This product was good but it didn't wow me. It is meant to use after being out in the sun to moisturize the skin. You can use it either in the shower or on dry skin. My preferred way of using it is before bed. I apply it to dry skin and then go to bed as I find it left the skin a bit slippery. My skin did feel great the next morning though.

Strong fragrance, but not unpleasant. Used this to hydrate skin after sun exposure. It's an oil, so it takes a few minutes to absorb into the skin. Worked well. I think I'd prefer a water-based after sun care.

I like this stuff! I applied it after I was in the sun at a cottage on the weekend and it kept my skin very moisturized. A little goes a long way as it is quite oily which is nice. I noticed the effect mostly on my legs because hours later they were still smooth! I wouldn't recommend this on the full body unless you are planning on using it in the shower just because you'll be slippery. It's a cool product that I am going to continue using this summer.

I had a really bad sun burn this week and I applied this after my shower. Not only did it smell amazing, but it helped my skin heal. Going to keep this on hand all summer! :) Thanks for sending this to me, Chick Advisor!

I received Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Care to test a couple of weeks ago. I don't usually use an after sun product but I have really enjoyed using this product. It can be two ways, I preferred to use it in the shower and rinse off. It left my skin feeling smooth and silky. It is great for using if you get too much sun. I missed a spot when applying sunscreen and Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Care made it feel better right away and the burn was completely gone the next day!

I received this product free to try, opinions are my own.

This is a new product and the only thing I can compare it too is a cooling spray. This Vichy spray felt great after spending time in the sun. It provided brief relief from being so hot. It didn't leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky.
I used it in the shower a few times as well, but hadn't noticed any real benefit for this. I don't tan and have pale skin. I haven't noticed any 'Tan Beautifying' effects.
I have given the bottle to my mom, who enjoys tanning, and spending a lot of time in the sun to see how she feels about it.
I would recommend this for using while out in the sun after swimming or playing. But the in shower I would not recommend.

I just received these a few days ago from chickadvisor to sample. I tried this both ways as directed either in shower or on dry skin. I definitely preferred dry skin as the product is greasy and in the shower it made it a very slippery situation. The product feels great to apply after being in the sun all day it soothes and feels refreshing! I never burned yet but I can imagine how much better my sunburn would feel after this is applied. I prefer it hands down to the sticky green goo of aloe vera and I love how light and refreshing the smell is! Great product overall!
