I used the serum with the Skin Sleep Mask. I have to say it is not always easy to distinguish the effects of one another, however I liked the serum better than the cream. It hydrates pretty well, penetrates quickly and smells great!
I would recommend this serum, and I would consider purchasing again.
Full disclosure: I received this product for free to try and I thank Vichy and ChickAdvisor for it!!
I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I really liked the Vichy Idealia Life Serum. It's creamy, but not heavy or greasy. It has a lovely scent. It blends into my skin quickly My skin looks smoother and has a glow. I would recommend this product to everyone!
I give this a "thumbs up" because it was a light serum that went on easily and did not cause any problems for my sensitive skin and worked well with makeup. I did not see any improvement to my skin, but it is smooth. I will continue to use this to see if there is any more definite effect over time.
I was fortunate enough to be selected to try the Vichy Idealia Life Serum through the Chickadvisor product review club for free. This serum is very light, with a subtle hint of shimmer. I use it before my Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep, and also in the morning before moisturizing. I've noticed a huge difference in the smoothness, hydration and brightness of my skin. My skin tone was very dull and rough looking before using this, but I see that improving each time I use it. I'm quite prone to blemishes and clogged pores when trying new creams and serums, but I'm happy to report I've had none of that with the Idealia life serum. When I apply it before applying my makeup, my foundation applies so smoothly, and the subtle hint of shimmer makes my skin look so glowy! It's a bit on the pricier side, at around $50 a bottle, but I would highly recommend this serum. A little goes a long way, so I can see this bottle lasting a long time.
Very lightweight and went on smoothly. Make up over top didn't feel heavy or lots of layers on my face. I didn't break out or get clogged pores and my skin looked brighter. I used it day and night.
Used this product for 2 weeks and loved the smell and the way it felt on my skin. Worked really well with my regular day cream and also with the Idealia Skin Sleep. As with the Skin Sleep. the bottle is very pretty but I find the product too expensive compared to my usual serum which offers the same results.
Vichy is a good company with high quality products but I find their packaging may result in higher prices compared to other products that produce equal performance. I do not like to pay extra for gimmicky packaging. Would be willing to purchase at $25.00 not $59.00. Thank you for letting me experiment for free and for those that can afford it, it is really a good product especially for mature skin like mine.
Thank you Chickadvisor for sending me this product. I absolutely love the packaging! However, this serum costs nearly double to the usual serums that I use and I can't say that I noticed a big difference between this product and more economical products that I have tried. However, having said that, I liked the consistency and felt that it absorbed well into my skin. It is nice to use as a base to other moisturizers or light weight make up.
It has a little bit of luminescence to it which is nice but isn't noticeable once you put it on. I would say that overall it works well, but the price point is a little expensive..
As with Vichy Life Cream, I do like the packaging! The V shaped holographic pink is lovely. The serum is super light, non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin. I found that just a dot went a long way. The fragrance is sweet and discreet. I have sensitive skin and I'm prone to outbreaks but, with Life Serum I was both excited and happy to see a refined complexion. After two weeks I noticed that my skin was well hydrated with a smoother texture. The serum is without a doubt a must have for a healthy looking skin and makes a wonderful duo with the Vichy Sleep Cream. It's worth every penny.
** I received this serum from chick advisor for testing purposes**
As with the Skin Sleep, I am really noticing a difference. And I guess it helps that I use it with the Life Serum. And neither of these products are going in my "doesn' work moisturizers" drawer and I am certainly not giving it away.
Oh, I forgot to mention that my skin is starting to look much fresher. Hard to do when I am 57 yrs old.
I really like the light weight feel to the serum and the results I am actually seeing.
I received this product through Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
The Vichy Idealia Life Serum is really great. I was expecting a clear serum, but it is actually a daily moisturizer. It's very moisturizing without being greasy for my combination skin. It has a subtle floral scent and applies smoothly onto the skin. The pump delivers the perfect amount of moisturizer needed. I really enjoy using it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality moisturizer. I just wish it had SPF included.
