I have been using the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep nightly for two weeks now, sometimes pairing with the Vichy Ideal Serum that came with the Chickadvisor package.
I have dry, sensitive skin and this product did not irritate my skin. The product does have a faint calming scent, so I'm not too sure if it's suitable for everyone with sensitive skin. I personally like its gel-cream texture. It doesn't feel heavy and greasy, but at the same time, it feels moisturizing.
After two weeks of usage, I didn't notice any visible results. Maybe it's more effective after longer usage. The product claims to renew and repair your skin, but I didn't notice an improvement in my skin texture or skin tone. However, my skin does feel smooth when I wake up in the morning.
I have used a few hydrating sleeping masks (masks you leave on overnight) of other brands that are not as expensive as this one. I find them more hydrating than the Skin Sleep, so if hydration is what you are looking for, I wouldn't recommend this product.
I really enjoy night creams. It encourages me to wash my face before bed instead of being lazy and keeping my makeup on! The Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep feels amazing on my skin and it has the most lovely scent. I always feel instantly refreshed and relaxed when I put it on. It IS a bit pricey but you know what? When you put it on it FEELS like it should cost a bit. Over the last weeks of use I have noticed that my skin feels softer and looks a bit brighter. I will seriously consider working this into my budget in the future!
The mirrored packaging gets grubby pretty fast but I still think it looks so chic and luxurious that I don't even mind. Like the Idealia Life Serum, this gel-like moisturizer smells slightly of berries and pomegranate, but the smell doesn't linger on the skin. My skin is so much healthier since I started using the Idealia range - I get less frequent breakouts, my pores are more refined and my skin glows!
Received my Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep a while ago and tested it thoroughly. First of all it comes in a really beautiful container and opening it I just loved the smell! I believe this is a high quality product and it partly made my skin feel more smooth. But that is about the positive things I can say about it. I thought the texture f the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep was very liquidy to an extent that it almost runs of your finger and unfortunately with a lot of cremes and serum I used in the past it just "sits" on my skin, instead of really being absorbed, and if you accidentally rub your face it forms little rolls and peels right off. For that reason I gave the Effectiveness only an average.
I liked this cream very much. The only thing I found it gross is that if I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I look in the mirror I see my face is so shiny that I have to use a tissue paper to dry my skin. Maybe it's going to feel better on my skin during the winter when my skin is more dry.
I've been using this alongside Vichy LifeSerum, and I'm really quite impressed. I like them both separately, but love them together. I've been noticing that as I age my skin has lost some of its youthful glow. Add being a mom to that, and you can well imagine how my skin has suffered. Bags under my eyes, fine lines and a dullness have crept up on me over the years. This skin sleep is truly like sleep in a jar. Many sleepless nights around my house, and since I've been using this cream you'd never know it! All in all, even though this is a little pricey I would probably buy it again!
This is an exceptional product. I am almost 60 and have neglected my skin for many years and this made my skin feel and look so much better. It was very easy to use. The only thing I didn't like was the smell even though it is subtle. I don't care for scented products and could really smell this at night.
This cream is much thicker and has a much stronger scent then the day cream. I found if I put to much on that it wouldn't absorb properly. With the right amount it paired perfectly with my over night cream causing my skin tone to even out and be softer then ever.
Received the Vichy Idealia Life Serum with the Skin Sleep as a product to try and then Review.
I posted a photo comparison of my face before I started using it and then 14 days after with no makeup on.... I would have to say that there is no visible change. My pores are not smaller, my lines are not more fine to gone BUT, it didn't break me out, it has helped with even skin tones, and keeping my skin plump and moisturized.
I would have to say in comparison to other products the price point is average to fair
The quality is good, very comparable to other brands ranging in a variant of price points from redic $$$ to $$
Effectiveness is alright, it does help, does it change the chemistry of my skin? No is it like a new face? No
but it does keep the skin moisturized and supple
I like Vichy as a brand so I would probably repurchase this I am curious to see if the other effects (tighter pores fine lines) play into effect the more I use it. 14 days isn't really enough time for a skin-tervention if ya know what I mean LOL
Things to consider about me:
I wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, not because I have to but because I LOVE to
I wash my face nightly with a detoxifying face wash
I use masks and facial scrubs 1/week
I have combination skin
I do not break out a lot
I do have larger pores
I am 33 and very fair to iridescent lol
I hope my review has been helpful :)
