98% OF CHICKS DIG IT
My favourite thing about this product was the lack of scent as well as the texture. It was fairly light and though it started off looking white, blended into something colourless within a few seconds. It almost feels like a body butter in terms of hydration as opposed to sunscreen which is always a welcome change! It absorbed into my skin fairly quickly though there is still a bit of tackiness left behind.
I was very excited to received Vichy Idéal Soleil Sheer Lotion Bare Skin Feel SPF 60 free to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. #GotItFree
This product can be used for both the face and the body. It is always great to have a screen that can be used all over. It also claims to be moisturizing, fragrance-free, and paraben free. Bonus!
This lotion is not as thick as many of the cheaper sunscreens on the market. I was particularly impressed that it was easily blended into the skin without leaving a white residue (because there is nothing worst that taking a little bit of sunscreen and looking like Frosty in the middle of Summer because the sunscreen does not blend in). It should be noted that you should only take a small amount of the product at a time, as a little seems to cover a large area. It should also be noted that the lotion does come out of the package fairly quickly. However, it is definitely moisturizing and left my skin feeling smooth. It doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue, which is definitely a bonus.
Like other products in this line, this product claims to be fragrance free. However, there is a light smell from the product that does remind me of sunscreen. I love how this is not overbearing and would not be something I would easily notice if others were to use this product.
Through advertising, this product claims to be “The lightest texture for body production. Non greasy, dry touch and moisturizing.” These claims are true and definitely makes me a bigger fan of the Vichy products. I love products that do exactly what they claim to do! It should be noted that this product is a little on the pricey side when it comes to sunscreens but we have to keep in mind that we often have to pay a little bit more to get a quality that we’re happy with. I’d recommend giving Vichy a try!

I received this product as part of the Vichy & Chick Advisor product review club.
While the face sunscreen (ultra light) is amazing in my mind, this product is more similar ot other products on the market than that one (in my experience).
Just like with the face sunscreen, I love that it is scent-free, paraben free, doesn't cause an allergic reaction lke many other sunscreens for me, blends right into the skin so you don't feel it, and protects fanasitcally against the sun.
My only note to those considering buying this product: don;t use too much as you will end up with streaks and clumping. If you reapply without washing off the previous coat, you'll have the same result. Furthermore, apply it quickly as if you let it soak in, and then go to add more because you missed a little spot, it will also have the aforementioned effect.
Overall, great sunscreen. Thanks, Vichy and Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try this product for free. #VichyWorksForMe
I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, thank you!
This one has an amazing SPF 60. The only other one I've used with the same SPF is the Neutrogena Beach Defense. I find that this Vichy one applies rather well, as I didn't have to keep rubbing it in. It absorbed pretty quickly, making for an easy application. I did not try using this on my face, as I did not want to risk breaking out, but I suppose some people might use it for that as well. You get quite a lot of product for the price, so I was very happy with this one. I would definitely recommend this one for the superior sun protection (SPF 60!!).
I used on my arms, legs and shoulders. It has a nice feel to it, protected well from the sun, wasn't greasy. I wouldn't use it on my face as when I did it broke out in pimples, good for the body though.
I received this sunscreen as part of the Chick Advisor Vichy campaign. I love that you can't feel it on - it isn't greasy or heavy like other sunscreens, and it doesn't leave any of that white residue behind. It also works well, so you may feel like you're wearing nothing but you're definitely still protected. The drawback for me is that it's rather pricey (approx. $30). I can get a regular sunscreen for half price (less if it's on sale).
I received this from the product review club.
I used this lotion for several week, not only when being exposed to the sun, but right after my morning shower.
It was non greasy and absorbed well into my skin.
The only complaint is that I disliked the smell of the product.
I received the Idéal Soleil Sheer Lotion Bare Skin Feel SPF 60 free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I apply the Idéal Soleil Sheer Lotion Bare Skin Feel SPF 60 at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and I'm in love with the light texture, but what I like the most it's non greasy and it also moisturise your skin. I found that I have full protection from the sun while using this product. I found it expensive though!
Another great sun care product! Ilove how these have no strong scents and leave your skin feeling moisturized rather than greasy or sticky. This has become my go to sunscreen before leaving the house
I really liked this product and it went on very nicely and didn't have that tacky/sticky/greasy feel that many sunscreens do, nor did it make my skin look shiny like many others - it really does feel like your bare skin. I also like that it's got a high SPF protection. Thanks ChickAdvisor for letting me test this product. My only hesitation is the price of the product. It's great, but too expensive if I were to use it all over and share with my husband.
