French anti-aging cosmetics Vichy (Vichy): the power of healing water for healthy skin

Cosmetics Vichy

It is considered one of the most popular and belongs to the category of “elite” products. Vichy began to be created in 1931 in France. The brand got its name from the small town of Vichy, which is famous for its medicinal springs. Many residents and guests of France come to the resorts of the town in order to improve their health and breathe clean air. It was in such rich subsoil that the Vichy laboratory for the production and development of cosmetic products was formed.

What features does Vichy cosmetics have?

The owner of Vichy laboratories is the well-known company LOreal. She managed to conquer her niche in the market thanks to a responsible approach to the creation and release of her products.

1. All products are created only on the basis of thermal water taken from a healing source. This water contains a large number of useful microelements and about seventeen types of salts.
2. Before being released for sale, all products are tested for allergic reactions. Therefore, the use of cosmetics is safe, and the products are hypoallergenic.
3. The products were created not to mask skin imperfections, but to treat them. The beneficial components included in the composition fight the cause of skin aging and have a healing effect. This effect is achieved due to the fact that salts and minerals have the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis.
4. Vichy is created only in France, and only in the official laboratories of the concern. This decision was not made by the company by chance, otherwise Vichy cosmetics may lose their properties and become a low-quality product.

. A person of middle and high income can use real high-quality products and look young and attractive with their help. In order to achieve the desired results, it is always important to remember the rule: cosmetics must be correctly selected and their use must be regular.

Advantages of Vichy over other cosmetics

Buyers can find other cheaper skin care products on pharmacy shelves. For example, Kils cosmetics or Cora cosmetics are very popular. These brands are much cheaper in price than Vichy, but they are also inferior in many ways. Kils and Cora have a beneficial effect on the skin, but they do not cure it. The effect after using Vichy and other cosmetics is visible immediately. Everything is learned by comparison, so in order to understand how much Vichy wins you need to conduct an experiment, compare the results and the choice will not be long in coming.

Features of cosmetics

The company was founded by Dr. Prosper Allaire in 1931 in the French town of Vichy. The famous healing thermal springs are located here, the water from which enhances regenerative processes. The first factory where cosmetics were made was opened in this city.

In agreement with another global cosmetics manufacturer, L'Oreal, Vichy products can be purchased exclusively in pharmacies.

Healing water from French springs (5 in total) is the main component of the brand’s products. No laboratory can restore or imitate the composition of natural water from thermal springs. This component is unique and belongs exclusively to Vichy.

The brand's products are designed to care for facial skin, restore the normal biochemical composition of the dermis, protect the skin and combat age-related changes.

There is a common myth that cosmetic preparations contain hormonal substances. This is nothing more than a myth! Cosmetic products containing hormonal substances are prohibited by law. Given the fact that the company's products can be purchased exclusively at pharmacies, customers are protected from the use of hormonal cosmetic products, so they will not develop an addictive effect.

Cosmetics components are recognized as hypoallergenic. The manufacturers themselves claim this. The presence of international certificates for conducting tests on highly sensitive skin does not cast doubt on the veracity of the information.

Despite this, the risk of developing allergic reactions is still present. Therefore, before the first use, it is recommended to test the cream for its ability to cause an allergic reaction. To do this, apply the product to the back of the hand or forearm for 10-20 minutes and observe the skin reaction.

The allergenicity of the product is indicated by the appearance of:

• itching;
• tingling;
• redness;
• rash;
• pale spots.

It is not necessary to have a combination of all of the above symptoms. Even if one appears, you need to wash the product off your skin - it is an allergen for you.

Attention! Do not use potentially dangerous cosmetics. Allergic reactions can be fatal. If allergy symptoms appear, you should immediately seek medical help.

How to choose the right remedy for Vichy

Do not forget that Vichy is a pharmaceutical product. Help in choosing a product will be provided by a pharmacist, who first takes a course on studying each Vichy product. Therefore, there is no doubt about the correctness of his advice. The Vichy cosmetics catalog is also presented on the official website. By opening the page, you can easily find the desired product category. The company also thought about how to make the existence of the site more useful from the customer's point of view. If it is difficult to choose a product, on the main electronic page the user can take online advice from Vichy cosmetologists absolutely free. The buyer will be offered a test, based on the results of which the specialist will draw appropriate conclusions and make recommendations.

Where can you buy Vichy cosmetics?

You won’t be able to buy Vichy cosmetics in a regular store.
In order to treat yourself to an exquisite product, you should either go to a pharmacy or use the services of the Vichy online store. It would be useful to say that not every pharmacy sells products of the same name. The most profitable option is purchasing on the website. Here the user can buy Vichy products much cheaper without additional pharmacy markups. Payment occurs in any form convenient for the client. Among other things, on the electronic page of the Vichy store you can always find offers with discounts and promotions. For example, you can receive a cosmetics organizer or any other useful item as a gift. The only disadvantage of buying online is that it takes time to deliver your favorite products.
