I really do like this product. I put it on after washing my face in the early evening and put it on before my makeup in the morning. It absorbed very well and made my face feel fresh and clean which is important to me both in the morning and at night. Didn't affect my oily spots either.

Pleasant scent, not overpowering. Almost gel-like, absorbs very well. Probably the best product I've tried as far as moisturizing, hydration goes. A little expensive, however, it does go a long way so it's probably worth it in the long run.

I was provided this product as part of the Review Club. I used it every morning but not at night. I liked that it went on smoothly and had decent coverage, i.e. I didn't need a large amount to cover my face and neck. I then put my normal moisturizer on about 5 minutes after. The biggest effect I noticed was that later in the day, I still had a fresh look to my skin and my skin felt hydrated throughout the day. I would have to use it without the Idealia Skin Sleep to really see what difference it makes on its own.

Really enjoyed this product! I love the soft shimmer in this product that makes the skin look radiant right after application. It dries down to a radiant finish with a powdery soft feel to the skin, which I love!
My skin feels extremely soft and hydrated, and looks radiant.
However, I did not notice any improvement in pore size nor discolouration on the skin.

Overall, I do really like this product due to the radiant look it gives my skin!

I have sensitive skin and finding and using the right skincare products is very challenging to find.
This product surprisingly works well with my very sensitive skin.
Works well when applied before your moisturizer.
Feels very hydrating and keeps my skin soft in the morning.
Def recommend this product to someone that is sensitive and dry/combination skin types.

I received this free to test along with the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep and have been using the products for approx 2 weeks, starting from when I received them.
The serum isn't heavy on the face and did not irritate my sensitive, fair skin. I have been applying this before my makeup and found that it didn't leave me shiny. I have oily skin and if I forget my primer, my makeup usually comes off or looks like an oil slick after a few hours. I was impressed though that the days I used only the serum under my foundation, my makeup actually stayed put for most of the day.
The product has a sort of pink pearly sheen to it. You can see the shimmer a bit on your fingers after applying it. It makes for a fresh look to my skin but don't worry it does not leave your face sparkly. I would not use a product if it made my face all shimmery. I was not expecting to but I actually really like the serum and how it makes my face feel.
Two weeks isn't long enough I'm sure to tell what the full effects will be but I'm pleased. I haven't had any breakouts from it either.

I received this serum together with the Skin Sleep from the Product Review Club. The box in which these came in was adorable, and the containers for the products are very nice and pleasing to look at.

I worked this serum into my daily routine by using it after the cleanser and toner and before the Vichy spot correcting products. The serum is easily absorbed and makes my complexion look slightly more even. It doesn't break me out, and it smells nice. A little goes a long way and one pump is enough for the whole face.

The Vichy Serum went on the skin smoothly and felt very light on the skin. It moisturized my skin when I used it both morning and night. Used in conjunction with the Vichy skin sleep, it was very effective in keeping my skin soft and radiant. It may be too much during the summer months when there is more humidity but it will be perfect for the dry winter months.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to try Vichy Idelia Skin Sleep, which also came with a bottle of Vichy Idealia life serum.

One pump was enough for coverage for my whole face. I liked the way it made my skin feel silky and moisturized. I do feel like my skin feels more soft and moisturized since I started using this product. I did not notice a difference in how my pores looked. I have used it for just over a week and will continue using it, to see if using it for a longer period of time makes more of a difference.

I received this product free to review from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

I absolutely love this product. Prior to using this I had been using Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster. I was using this because I wanted the vitamin c to help fade my few acne scars and therefore even out my overall complexion.

This Vichy serum is rich compared to the Ole Henriksen one. While Ole Henriksen is a gel like formula, the Vichy is more of a cream. It is thicker and spreads easier which I like. My skin feels extremely soft and smooth, and the scent is light, floral and refreshing but not overwhelming. My skin has a nice radiant look to it which is all I am ever after with my skin care products.

I do not notice it helping to fade my acne scars but the overall appearance of my skin is so lovely that I am willing to overlook this. I had some problems with the companion product, Vichy's Idealia Skin Sleep -- it was a bit too heavy for my skin and caused me to break out -- however the serum on it's own is great. I used it without the Skin Sleep product for a few days and my skin started to clear up. The packaging says it is appropriate for sensitive skin and I have to say that I agree with this given that my skin liked the serum but not the balm.

It even extends the use of my regular facial lotion as very little is needed over top of the serum. The serum can be used day and night and I feel that my skin really did benefit from using it regularly. Overall I would definitely recommend this product to anyone, especially those with sensitive skin who have struggled to find appropriate serums in the past.
