VICHY IDÉALIA Radiance Boosting Serum

Another Serum from Vichy that I’m loving….

Feelunique.com sent me this about 2 weeks ago now and I really like it. I have been using it every morning and evening and not changed any of my other products in the meantime so that I could see if it made a difference.

 I have used a few Vichy products and always been able to see noticeably results in a pretty short period of time, this was no different.

The product has a light serum texture that sinks in quickly without leaving a tack to the skin. I also love the packaging, I hate dropper bottles so a good old fashioned pump bottle is great! One pump is enough to cover the whole face.

This contains Sodium Hyaluronate (salt of Hyaluronic acid)… doesn’t everything seem to at the minute? That’s not a complaint I love it but it is definitely the buzz ingredient this year.  This means it has an immediate hydrating affect which really does keep the skin moisturised for the whole day, I have had a few comments since I started using this to say my skin looked dewy and fresh. This could be because of the extra hydration but possibly also because the Serum contains Mica which is used in a lot of Makeups but gives a smooth glowy affect to the skin a lot of people don’t like this  as it doesn’t have a long term affect and is purely for cosmetic purpose but I like the extra glow it gives as I don’t wear makeup. This isn’t a wet look glow either it’s a nice matte dewy hydrated look.

The product also contains Capryloyl Salicylic Acid which is a Lypo Hydroxy acid that works in a very similar way to Salicylic acid - this is actually patented to the L'oreal group. This gently exfoliates the skin by speeding up the separating of cells on the skins surface. I think this really has been working as I have had noticeably fewer breakouts since I started using this serum and I usually end up with tiny black heads on my forehead that I have to extract every other week but not as many of those have built up either. It could be coincidence but I will update if this changes.

Overall my skin appears smoother and well hydrated and I will certainly be re-purchasing this one. Top marks to Vichy.
