not into this product to much, although my skin felt a little softer i dont think it really did anything to improve my overall skin :(
I really liked the texture of this serum, and it gave me a nice glow. However, I did break out on my forehead (I have chin/jaw hormonal acne once a month, so I know the change in skincare was the culprit) after using this product for a week.
The cream is soft but the smell is very unpleasing. I also don't feel that my skin looks any different from before I started.
I had the opportunity to review Vichy Idealia Life Serum as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I am currently 5 months pregnant with my first daughter, and have been experiencing a lack of radiance to my skin, uneven skin tone, and fatigued skin due to restless nights
I have been using Vichy Idealia Life Serum nightly for the past two weeks. I find two pumps to be enough to cover my face, neck, and decollete. The serum does have a strong floral scent to it, which I was not a fan of. It applies smoothly to the skin, does not feel oily, and absorbs quickly.
After several evenings of use, I noticed that my skin felt smoother and looked more hydrated. Some discoloration that I had on my chin became less noticeable, and I felt that I looked better rested. I had some compliments from my coworkers that I had that "pregnancy glow", when before I felt my skin looked rather sallow.
I've really enjoyed using this serum, and after 14 days of use (28 pumps), the bottle is about 2/3 full. My only dislike would have to be the strong scent. The bottle is made of thick glass, and looks great on m bedside table. While this may not be important to some, I love nice packaging for my beauty and skincare items.
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.
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.
Since I started using the Vichy Idealia Life Serum I've noticed softer skin and less puffiness under my eyes. I like the scent, it's not overwhelming but just right.
Not my Vichy favorite product unfortunately. First of all, I'm not fan of serum. How come that suddenly, all the compagnies add to their line serum products ? Does it mean that the products we have used for years are not as effective as they could be. Really, I hardly understand the point of buying serum. But I guess it's great for the company's finances. Anyway, I usually really like Vichy's products, but at first, I don't like the smell of this one, I don't like the texture, so it's not a win for me.
I received this as a bonus gift with the Idealia Skin Sleep (which I absolutely loved and wrote about separately)
And since it was supposed to transform my skin in 8 days, I gave it longer because I wasn't feeling the "transform"!
I didn't feel this did what it claimed - especially give me "Rested features" - but, it was a lovely moisturizer and boosted the Skin Sleep. Used together, they were a nice combo and I liked it for that reason. I didn't notice transformative changes the way I did with the Skin Sleep and don't feel the serum lived up to its claims.
It's a lovely light moisturizer and would probably work great for young skin. I'm 44 but on cortisone and that makes my skin dry and thin, so I need pretty powerful stuff, like the Skin Sleep.
