I used this with the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep and it makes all the difference. Layering both doubles the effect I suppose. The serum is just the right consistency, not too liquid or thick and the scent is really nice. Since its summer now, I like that this isn't too heavy on my skin and I have been using this daily. I have really sensitive skin but have not broken out. The price may be quite steep but a little goes a long way. Overall a good serum.
I only recently started using serums, and absolutely love them. This one feels very nice and light on the skin. It has a very mild scent and absorbs quickly. I received this as a bonus gift for receiving the Vichy night cream (Product Review Club). I do find this product pricey, but am looking forward to using it further. I truly believe serums are a vital part of daily skincare.
This product is quite amazing. I have just started using it and I love the texture and feel it gives. It does not feel like I have lathered a lot of sticky product and absorbs seamlessly giving a nice glow feel to my skin. I want to continue using it to really see if my skin changes over timely use! But so far amazing product, good for sensitive skin and definitely providing that refreshed feel!
Well the product is a bit on the expensive side for the amount that's given, but the product is great. I have very sensitive skin and this product did not bother my skin at all. It made it feel really soft and smooth, and after about a week of using it every morning and night it had a nice healthy glow. I definitely would recommend this product, but get it on sale or with a coupon.
Vichy Idealia Life Serum is a a great serum, lightweight and quickly absorbed by the skin. It leaves your skin feeling plumped and refreshed. You get the best results by applied at night.
The serum is very light, not heavy and a little goes a a long way. If you have sensitive skin it is suggested that you do a patch test on your inner wrist before purchasing; I found that there was a tingling sensation on my face when I used it. Some may find this product to be a bit pricey but the quality definitely makes up for the splurge of purchasing it. It was an honour to be able to test this product and to be able to feel the amazing quality.

The first thing that surprised me about this serum was that it was a cream based serum. I'm used to my regular vitamin C serum which is more of a fast absorbing oil base, so the Vichy Idealia Life Serum took some getting used to for me. I do wish that it absorbed more quickly, but it wasn't a huge deal that it didn't. I used this product in the mornings under my regular moisturizer. It does say that the serum can be used alone or under moisturizer. I didn't find the serum moisturizing enough to use it on its own.
After using it for two weeks I actually really liked it. I was using it along side the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep (used at night only), so I can't say for sure if this product works as well on its own as it does with the Skin Sleep. The bottom line is that my skin looks more radiant and refreshed, and feels smoother since using this product. It's a keeper!
The biggest downside for me is the cost. $59?!?! That's awfully steep, but I'll admit that the product really does work.
I liked this serum but i used during the day only. Why ? Well since it's all kind of shiny/sparkly i didn't think it would be that useful to use it at night and i tried to combine it with Skin sleep, the ( most awesome ) night cream and it kind of stayed sticky a lil'bit. Guess my skin wasn't up for it. But it's summer, it's hot in here. Maybe winter would have been different ?! Anyway, i used it in the morning and guess what ? I liked the glowing effect so much that after 2 weeks, when i saw a real difference on my skin ( moisturized, bye-bye fine lines, hello glow, ciao break-out ), i just stopped using foundation during the day. Yep. You heard me. I'm actually using the serum in the morning, i add aqualia as a day cream, i use skin sleep at night and i do feel and see an healthier skin ! I'll be trying the BB cream for sure.
I have a ton of blackheads on my chin from smoking and PMS and wow, the difference is huge. The smell is soothing, the texture is pleasing, the packaging is oh so cute and as a beauty consultant in a drugstore, i'll be pleased to introduce my clients to this wonderful line of skincare.
Thank you Vichy.

I never use serums on my face as I usually break out in hives. I could have tested this on my face but I didn't want to risk it.
So instead I used this serum on my neck and chest. It's contained in a beautiful pump bottle and has a very pleasant but strong fragrance. It has a thin but very silky texture and applies very smoothly and dries quick. I used the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep afterwards and it glided right on. My skin looked very supply in the morning without any creases on my chest.
I will continue to use this to prevent wrinkles on my neck and chest.
I love this :) It's fantastic and it makes my skin so smooth and soft! I don't have to use a lot to get the effects, just a dab here and there morning and night and off I go! It's wonderful and thank you for choosing me as one of the testers! Incredible product!!
