90% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I received this product from ChickAdvisor to try, and I am very please with it! I tend to have large pores, especially on my nose area, and I get blackheads often. I have tried many products before but nothing really seems to close the pores. After trying this out for two weeks, the blackheads definitely seem to be less and more pores visibly look smaller and my face just looks more smooth! he best part is, it doesn't dry out my skin. I have stated to feel a tightening sensation, which I like because it feels like it is really working it's magic! I would recommend this product for sure!
I didn't really see the need for this particular step. While my results were poor (increased acne, dry and flaky rashes), I don't think this step was part of the problem. I used it religiously in the system, but it never appeared to be removing any more dirt and i definitely didn't see any pore tightening effect. There are probably far more cost effective and skin friendly alternatives available.
I received this product courtesy of chickadvisor for review. The Vichy normaderm pore tightening lotion toner smells nice. I used it after the Vichy gel and it worked well to minimize the acne that I have. I use to get a lot of breakouts but after using this Vichy line my acne didn't seem to 'flare' as much. It left my face feeling smooth and it didn't dry out my skin.
I haven't used a "toner" since high school and I forgot how amazing it made your skin feel after it was put on. You can definately feel the pore tightening aspect of it
I received the Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I got this as part of the sensitive skin package. My skin is fairly sensitive, and thought this could be a good product to try and deal with some of my blemishes.
Like the cleansing gel, the first thing I noticed was the intense perfume smell. Almost all other items I have ever used for sensitive skin either have little to no smell or a very organic/natural smell. For someone who is sensitive to perfumes this already put me off, but I still tried it. I actually tried the whole package for two weeks and my skin reacted - I broke out terribly. I had to stop using all the products.
I received this product through the Product Review Club. First off, I would call this a "toner" rather than I lotion but that's just me perhaps. Anyways, I liked this product. It doesn't sting or have a harsh feeling on the skin. My skin felt refreshed and like it was taking away any of the dirt that I might have missed with just cleansing the skin. I would saturated cotton ball with the lotion and felt like it did the trick. My skin didn't feel tight afterwards nor did it feel sticky. However, I didn't notice a drastic change with my skin. I currently have 2 large blemishes right now. I normally don't get blemishes this big so I am not sure if this is part of the whole "worse before it gets better" deal? I will continue to use the product because I like it but I had hoped for a better result.
As part of the Product Review Club, I was given the chance to test out Vichy Acne Care Kit. The Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion is the first toner I have ever used that has sayalic acid and glycolic acid. It was formulated for oily and acne prone skin. I have combination skin and I found in the two weeks that I tried this, my skin did not feel dry at all. The first ingredient in this toner is alcohol, which is a bad for oily and acne prone skin because it strips the skin. My skin did not feel dry after applying this. To me, it felt like I was a applying a hydrating toner on my face, but it has the properties for salicylic acid and glycolic acid. I have nothing, but good things to say about this toner. How this toner feels in my face reminds me of the Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner. The only thing, I have say is it does tighten the pores at all. Other than that, this toner is amazing and it has been moved into my skincare routine.
I was given the opportunity to try out this product and I"m very pleased with it. I have big pores on top of my nose so I often get blackheads. The blackheads seem to come back after each cleaning because my pores are so big. After trying this out for two weeks, The blackheads seems to almost disappear. My pores are smaller for sure. The best part is, it doesn't dry out my skin. I do feel a tightening sensation however it doesn't feel dry to the point that it itches and cause skin irritation.
I received this product to test and it absolutely exceeded all my expectations! It applies super easily on a cotton pad and removes any pore-clogging debris very efficiently. It leave my skin feeling tight, but not dry! I love it and would definitely recommend.
First thing to mention is that this product does not dry your face out like a desert. Big thing in my books as many have done such, and not to mention most products in this price range do not do much anyways.
The product is super easy to apply and very effective at closing up pores. Although do not be unrealistic if you have some larger pores on your face and expect them to just instantly disappear. It is slow progress, however it is progress!
Try not to get it on any cuts or such, stings a bit.
Definitely recommend the entire 3 piece kit, works great together.
