I'm still undecided about this purifying gel, when I first started to use it I ended up breaking out. I have found the break outs have started to taper off the more I use it so I'll have to see if this continues the longer I use it. I haven't really noticed a huge difference in my skin yet, blackheads look the same and as I mentioned it actually made me break out more, I also felt like my skin felt tight after use (like after using soap). Overall, I did like this gel and used it twice a day, the gel consistency is nice so it stays in place until you wash it off (I hate when they drip), a little goes a long way so the price isn't too bad considering.

The cleansing gel has a nice smell and really does apply well. When I applied, my face felt so light and fresh. But soon after, it was the same old oily face. Good for temporary cleaning. and feels very good too. Didn't stay on the face like some other cleansers.

#gotitfree. Thanks so much Chick Advisor!
I really like Vichy Normaderm gel. I don't find it harsh on my skin at all. It doesn't a good job getting makeup off.
Easy to use. It hasn't helped my break outs on my chin tho. Thanks again!

I was fortunate enough to receive a sample of this product through Chick Advisor Review Panel.
This face wash comes in a big pump bottle. I usually prefer one of those upside down bottles that you just pop open the cap - makes it easier to get all of the face wash. I am nowhere near the bottom of this bottle, but I fear that once I reach the bottom I might miss some of the product because of the pump. We'll see I suppose!
This face wash is well portioned - one pump does it. One pump is enough to wash my whole face and neck, as well as wash off my non-waterproof mascara. I have used this face wash every evening for four weeks now (I don't wash my face in the morning, just splash it with water and apply moisturizer). Every evening I have washed my eye makeup off with this face wash. It has not irritated my (usually quite sensitive) eyes. Huge bonus!! The product itself is indeed a light, transparent shade of green. It is not smelly - I do not notice any scent with it when I wash my face. This is a huge plus for me. It lathers well and rinses off very nicely - it does not seem to leave a waxy residue on my skin like some drug store brands seem to. It did leave my skin feeling a little bit tight, but I used the toner and the moisturizer afterwards which resolved that issue.
Results? I started with a few pimples. I get hormonal breakouts - and this month I didn't! Within about five-seven days all of my pimples cleared up, and I have had PERFECT skin ever since. I don't credit the face wash alone, I used the whole line, but wow!
Overall, this is a very nice face wash. It is a great splurge item or the set would make a great gift. But will I be re-purchasing for $19.95 after this bottle is gone? Probably not - money is tight right now and I think my drug store brand face wash will have to do. But if I received it as a gift, I'd be thrilled!

A very gentle cleanser that I have been using religiously for the last few weeks. I found it wasn’t abrasive, my skin did not feel overly tight (alcohol free) and it did absorb some of my oiliness.

It had a great scent like the corrective treatment and scent is a big big thing for me, it can determine if I buy or don’t buy.

This would definitely be added to my daily cleansing ritual. It had a nice foam and I felt like I was actually cleaning my skin. My skin did appear to have a less red tone and my skin has been pretty clear this last week. So it’s a GO for me, I would buy again.

This Vichy deep cleansing purifying gel worked great on my skin, I have very sensitive and dry skin but it worked great for me. I will for sure recommend it my people I know that would love this.

I received this for free as part of the Chickadvisor product review club.
As mentioned in one of my other reviews, I was having quite a few breakouts this summer so the timing was great for this.
I like the cleanser packaging and it was easy to dispense. I thought it did a good job of cleaning my face without over drying it. It didn't do a great job of removing my eye makeup so I still needed a separate remover for that. Overall, my skin felt clean but not tight after using this. It's a great basic cleanser but a little more than I would spend if I had to pay for it myself.

I love the smell of this product. The gel really foams up into a soapy lather as well which is nice. I personally was not a huge fan of the face wash. It didn't work great with my skin but it was absolutely worth trying. Your face feels very clean after washing and it doesn't dry out at all. Worth a try if your looking for a good clean.

(I wish there was an option above for in between "You Betcha!" and "Fugheddaboutit!", I would have picked in between). I was very excited to receive this cleanser free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. Having suffered from severe acne since puberty, and now in my mid-20's, I have tried so many things unsuccessfully. Unfortunately, and I'm sorry to say, Vichy, but this too has let me down. Let me break it down for you: as far as a cleanser goes, it does the trick fine. I was disappointed, however, that it is unsafe for use on the eyes, which means I have to use a separate product to remove my eye makeup, unlike my current face cleanser. However, it does lather very well, has a pleasant scent to it (though perhaps slightly overpowering for someone like me, who is used to more natural scented products - this smells more perfumy), removes face makeup and my skin felt refreshed and clean after, no film or sticky residue. As well, you don't need a lot, so I think this bottle will continue to last me quite a while, which is great, especially for the price. I will give it this bonus too, that many acne cleansers have irritated my skin horribly in the past, and this didn't at all. It didn't change my acne at all - no better, but also no worse. No stinging or irritation, which is rare for me, so I will give it that. All in all, it worked fine as a cleanser, but didn't deliver in the acne department. And for that, I could stick with my cheaper alternative. I would say to those of you looking for a good quality deep cleanser for *mild* acne or oily skin, and don't mind spending a little more, definitely give this a try.

I received this product through ChickAdvisor. I believe that this product did quite a good job cleansing my face over the past 4 weeks (I tried taking makeup off with it, and also sunscreen after a day at the beach!) I like that the product is in a pump and easy to use. I also like the scent of this product. I tend to like when products give that totally clean feeling after cleansing, and this product did just that. I did not feel like this product made my skin shiny or left any residue. Overall, this is a very good product and I would recommend!
