Vichy cream around the eyes, reviews of Vichy Idealia anti-wrinkle product

The area around the eyes needs special care, so you need to take care of it from a young age. After 40 years, hormonal changes are so serious that care must be regular, and eye products must be guaranteed to be effective.

All of them are suitable for caring for the eyelid area. The effectiveness of the products is also explained by the unique composition

Useful properties and composition

The company's scientists conduct cosmetic research that allows them to select the ideal product for each skin type. The age series includes components that affect three types of wrinkles: primary, mimic and age-related.

The main emphasis is on eliminating the cause of the problem, rather than on mitigating the consequences. The active ingredient used in most products is thermal water. It is mined in the city of Vichy. It is there that the Lucas spring is located, which has been known for its healing properties since the times of the Roman emperors. The water contains 28 useful minerals and trace elements (iron, calcium, silicon, magnesium, potassium and others).

Factors influencing the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes

What you should first pay attention to in order to reduce the likelihood of wrinkles under the eyes, improve the quality of the skin and prevent the appearance of wrinkles and swelling:

Diet: salt and sugar retain liquid well. Therefore, it is better to avoid sweets or salty foods at night. Also, do not drink a lot of water at night. While we sleep, water is not removed from the body, which is easy to see by looking in the mirror in the morning.
Sleep pattern: frequent lack of sleep or sleeping in an uncomfortable position also affects the face. You need to sleep in a cool room with adequate ventilation. A good hard mattress and a properly selected pillow will reduce the likelihood of swelling and the “bruised” effect on your face in the morning.
Bad habits: do not require much comment. Let us only note that alcohol greatly dehydrates the body. Even when drinking alcohol in moderation, you need to understand that the body will then take the necessary water from the internal organs and skin cells. In the morning there is a feeling of tightness and tension. If you happen to drink alcohol, be in moderation and be sure to drink clean, still water at the same time.
Frequent air travel. Those who are constantly on business trips are more familiar with the problem than anyone else. The fact is that the body becomes very dehydrated during the flight, a feeling of dryness, tightness, as well as “bags” under the eyes appears. Therefore, the main recommendation is to drink more water. It is advisable not to load yourself with food during the flight. Be patient a little and, upon landing, you will be able to eat comfortably and profitably. And, of course, you should not drink alcohol before or during the flight. This will only aggravate the stress experienced by the body, in particular the skin.
Allergic reactions, infectious and other diseases. Redness around the eyes, dryness, flaking and swelling are not necessarily caused by age and lifestyle alone. Such manifestations may be a sign of an allergy or other disease, which requires consultation with a doctor (generalist, allergist, endocrinologist).

Reviews

Svetlana: I bought the Vichy Liftactive series for myself and my mother. We both liked the eye cream. Mom often develops allergies to new products. Everything is fine with this cream. After a month of use, I noticed that the wrinkles in the corners of my eyes became smaller, almost invisible.

Maria: When I bought a face wash at the pharmacy, I got a sample of a cream for the skin around the eyes. I use it in the morning. The cream is easily absorbed, the circles under the eyes are noticeably lighter. I kept it in the refrigerator, so it had an additional cooling effect. Now I want to buy the full version.

Ekaterina: My eternal problem is bags and dark circles under my eyes. I have been buying Vichy Idealia for a long time. It does its job well, I also use it as a base for eye shadow.

What to look for when choosing

At 30 years old, the epidermis is still capable of coping with negative transformations on its own, it just needs a little help with this. It is not recommended to use aggressive products containing collagen or large amounts of hyaluronic acid. There is a risk of skin addiction. Moreover, the epidermis will stop directing efforts to produce elastane, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and other useful components, since they will come from the outside. This situation is fraught with early aging and a sharp deterioration in the condition of the skin when such cosmetics are discontinued. After 30, a cream should contain natural ingredients, not cause allergies, and smooth out wrinkles naturally.
