I want to start by saying that I loved the mirrored lid on this; you really can't have enough mirrors. That being said, the product was just ok. I didn't notice much of a difference; my first couple of nights using this my skin actually felt tight and dry, but over the course of the 2 weeks I didn't notice increased hydration.
I used this in combination with the Vichy Idealia Life Serum, which I like, but want to test further, but the Skin Sleep didn't really seem to add any improvements to my skin that I wasn't getting from just the serum (which I used morning and night).
I'm going to test the serum with my current moisturizer (First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration) and compare the results on my blog in about another 2 weeks.
But perhaps 2 weeks isn't long enough to make an official judgement on this product.
This is a pretty fancy-looking product. It went on really nicely, smooth and gentle and soaked in well, too. I used it in combination with the night serum that was sent to me.
I enjoyed using this product but didn't really notice any difference to my skin over the 2 weeks. Just basic hydration. The smell was nice at first but gets annoying after a while.
I wouldn't buy this again because it didn't rock my world and the price is very high. I get better results from using face oils.
I received this item as a free test sample from Chick Advisor.
I have combination skin that tends to be oily in the summer months. I've found this cream to be too heavy for my skin. I've been applying it at night and I consistently wake up in the morning with greasy skin. I do think that this would be perfect for cooler months when my skin tends to be dryer. I will hang on to this and will definitely put it to the test again in the fall.
Otherwise: the texture is very cool, the smell is amazing, and the packaging is gorgeous.
It was quite a nice moisturizer, not too heavy even for oily skin. It was very luxurious feeling to put on. And i felt it paired really well with the serum.
As part of a review panel for this item I was very excited to try out Vichy #idealiaskinsleep. After two weeks of use here is a summary of pros and cons.
PROS
-Smells amazing, truly luxurious!
- Feels light on the skin
- Leaves skin feeling very moisturized and soft
Cons
- The retail price tag seems steep
- Though I enjoyed using the product as a reviewer I cannot say I would spend the money to purchase another
- Didn't make drastic changes to skins appearance, any visual improvements were subtle.
- The product did have a slight burning sensation when used around the eye which was neither comfortable nor encouraging.
I liked the feel of the product when I put it on but when I woke up in the morning it still felt like it was on my face. It left my face a little greasy but my skin did feel much softer on a daily basis.
I received this to review for free as part of the Chickadvisor club.
First off,I really like the container it is in,really pretty,and the lid doubles as a mirror too,very nice. It also has a nice smell to it,but I did find it a little overwhelming,especially the first few times I used it. I eventually got used to the smell though,but if you are sensitive to scents ,I do not think you will like this product. I found it to be a quite thin cream,yet it still felt thick on my face,and did not absorb into my skin at all,until quite some time. It made my face feel greasy and I did not like the feel of it on my face.
When I woke up in the morning,my face did feel nice and smooth,and felt and looked moisturized. That was a plus., but all in all,I would not buy this again,as I don`t think it is worth the price,and it didn`t do anything too dramatic to my face to be worth it.
I would recommend it to anyone to try,it doesn`t hurt to try anything,but once again,I do not think it is worth the money ,not for me anyway.
Thanks Chickadvisor for the opportunity to try this product. :)
I received this product to try for free as part of the Product Review Club. The morning after the first use, I did notice that my skin felt much smoother and softer than usual. I did not have a negative reaction (and this is noteworthy as I do have sensitive skin). I haven't noticed a big difference in the appearance of my skin - I still received comments that I looked tired after a night of poor sleep. I wonder if this is because I have younger skin than others (age 25) so it may not make as big a difference in appearance than others. At this time, the difference I saw didn't justify the price (in that I see similar results with a less expensive moisturizer). However I am encouraged by the amount of positive feedback this product has received and feel like I would take this into product into consideration when skin appearance may be more likely to differ, and discuss this product with family/friends who may be looking for a sleep cream.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vichy Canada and ChickAdvisor for this opportunity to try this product. I would not normally be inclined to spend that amount on a skin product but I feel encouraged that the price may be worth it.
The moisturizer for use in the morning or night goes on kind of shiny, but dries up nicely and quickly. The night Cream is the same as well. Together, I do not feel like these products helped much, if at all, with what it claimed, but then again I have very problematic skin. I dI'd not notice much change with my pores, oily skin or dark spots, but I am going to use this product for longer than the initial 2 weeks that was asked of me to see if I notice anything.
Received this product from ChickAdvisor and was thrilled to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised with the light pink colour and the fragrance which is very inviting! I have been using it for over a week now and it has a great texture which gets absorbed well by the skin which is very important for me.
I noticed it made me look more refreshed in the morning which is saying a lot when I currently don't get any sleep with a 3 month old :) I find it a little pricey but more inclined to buy this again after trying it compared to the other options in the market as I have used this and I know it works.
