    I've been using this product for 4 weeks now and I love it! Pregnancy left my skin in pretty rough shape but thanks to Vichy it is looking the best it ever has! I love the gel formula of this product, it isn't too drying like some similar products I've tried and leaves my skin feeling soft, clean and refreshed. Highly recommend!

    I received this product free for review but all opinions stated are honest and my own.

    I received this product for free as part of the chickadvisor review club and I absolutely loved it! This cleanser foams like no other and a little bit of product seems to go a very long way. Every morning and night, it left my skin feeling clean and fresh. For the first time in my life, my anti-acne cleaner didn't dry out my face. I literally cannot wait to go wash my face as I'm typing this !

    I received this product for free as part of a ChickAdvisor campaign. I have to say that I love the design of this product it is so sleek and fits nicely around the small space I have in the bathroom for hygiene products. I do have one word of warning though for those of you who want to use this product: no more than two pumps of cleanser per face wash. It seemed like very little product was coming out when I pumped the head so the first time I tried it I used 3. Unbeknownst to me it foamed like crazy on my face and one giant bubble burst while I had my mouth open sending cleanser flying into my tonsils. Needless to say I learned my lesson after that one. This product also has a strong smell compared to other products for sensitive skin. Initially I found this cleanser somewhat stripping of my face. After I dried myself my skin felt tight and mildly irritated but the more I used this product the more my skin adjusted go the cleanser and now I no longer have that tight feeling. I will definitely say it does take away any oil on your face so if you do have oily skin you might really like this product. Although this product did not make my skin any worse in the end it did not provide any specific benefit in terms of reducing acne breakouts. Also you may want to consider using a wash cloth when you apply it so there is some mild exfoliation effects as this product does not include any exfoliating items.

    One surprising area with this cleanser was how well it took off my eye make up. I didn't have to wipe a million times under my eyes to get off mascara residue and eye liner so it is definitely a plus there but I wouldn't recommend this product if your main goal is clearing of the skin.

    I have very excited to give this product a try!

    I usually wouldn't spend this much on a face wash but this product is definitely worth it!

    The design of the pump is great - one shot gives me exactly what I need to wash my face. I find that the lather makes my skin feel extra smooth and soft and it is gentle on my skin and does not irritate it at all. The product is great at removing make up including my waterproof mascara and eye liner. I like that I do not need to use eye make up remove in addition to the face wash to successfully remove all my make up. I also really like that the product does not dry my skin out nor does it leaving it feeling tight the way some washes can.

    I'm not 100% in love with the fragrance. I find it a little too floral smelling and reminds me of a scent that an elderly person would like. I would prefer the product to be more lightly scented.

    My only true disappointment with this product is the face that it did not help my acne anymore than my regular products. The rest of my face however is smooth and has a more even skin tone. I just wish that it would have been better at improving my acne.

    I will definitely continue to buy this product as I love the benefits that I am seeing which I haven't yet found in any other face wash I have tried.

    This was sent to me by ChickAdvisor to review. It's a good product. It leaves my skin feeling clean & soft and doesn't dry it out. I don't think it's the best face wash I have ever tried, there a lot more lower priced products that work just as good or better.

    I received this from Chick Advisor as free product to test.

    I have had problem skin since before I can remember not having problem skin. As you can imagine, i have tried everything out there in hopes of help.

    This cleansing gel did work well. I found it removed my daily make up well, and didnt leave my face feeling tight.
    I liked the smell and didn't think it was too strong.
    I wished the gel had some scrubbing agents to it so it felt like it was deep cleaning for exfoliating, but overall it worked well when paired with the other two products in the Vichy line.

    This product has a light scent which is nice and not overpowering. The bottle seems to last a long time, in my month of using it I haven't even used a quarter of the bottle (and I use it twice a day). I'd buy this product I. The future.

    J'utilise le gel nettoyant depuis 1 mois combiné au tonique et à la lotion hydratante de Vichy Normaderm. Je l'aime bien, par contre je préfère l'utiliser avec une brosse électrique pour le visage, car les résultats sont encore meilleurs. Une petite quantité suffit à bien nettoyer le visage, sans assécher ce dernier. Après 1 mois, les pores de la peau sont plus refermés et on voit une nette diminution des imperfections du visage. Je recommande sans hésiter ce gel nettoyant à toutes les filles qui veulent un bon nettoyant pour le visage aidant à mieux contrôler les imperfections.

    I received this product as part of the Product Review Club offer. It claims to diminish and prevent acne, but I'm not so sure it did much of that. My acne didn't really change at all after using this cleaner. However, I know that my acne is hormonal, which means topical treatments generally don't do a whole lot to help.

    As a normal cleanser though, it was pretty good. It has a light, fresh scent and doesn't irritate the skin. It got the majority of my makeup off and paired really well with my Clarisonic cleanser. The price is good, so even though it didn't help my acne, I would still recommend it as a good cleanser for sensitive skin.

    J'ai reçu par la poste ce gel nettoyant avec la lotion et la crème de la gamme Normaderm et j'ai été agréablement surprise. Je les ai utiliser tous les jours depuis presque un mois et j'ai été heureuse de constater que je n'avais plus autant d'éruption au niveau du visage. Je n'avais jamais vraiment essayée les produits Vichy, mais il fonctionne super bien pour mon type de peau.

    J'adore les nettoyant type gel, je trouve qu'ils se travaillent bien et j'ai vraiment l'impression que ma peau est complètement propre. Ça fait partir toute sensation grasse/huileuse, on sent notre peau plus fraîche par la suite. Il se rince facilement et en 2 minutes c'est fini, pas plus long!
