I am generally a fan on Vichy products but I have to admit that this one was a total dissapointment. The serum has a thick consistency and it is pretty sticky. I applied it several times either before or after the moisturizer and it made it a little difficult to apply my liquid foundation. I also tried to use it with the powder foundation and it was a total disaster - the product it too thick and it takes a very long time to dry on your skin
In addition, after using this product for several days, my skin began to itch. I checked the list of ingredients - apparently I am not allergic to any of them, however, something in this serum does not agree with my skin. I suspect it might be hyaluronic acid as my skin tends to react to some forms of HA. I am surprised that this product has such high ratings as it did not work for me. I ended up using the rest of the product on my body. The serum costs around $30 - for that price I did not expect miracles but at least I hoped that it would not irritate my sensitive skin.
my skin is normal and prone to acne, I didn't see much difference in terms of hydration, it's very light, for those with very oily skin it can be better.
I washed normally and used it at night and during the day, the aspect is light, almost watery, it is a minimalist product, which does not bring many changes to the skin, without fragrance, which I think is good, but I like products with more impact on the skin.
I have naturally oily skin and this serum makes it even more oily and even kinda sticky and i Hate it! The consistancy of the product is kinda thick I think its overrated from one hand,bc even when i put it on my dry areas it doesnt bring the moisture i want! im using it as dermatologists say- use it on damp skin to lock in the moisture but for my skin its not working exactly like that! i dont know why,maybe im not doing something right. But i wont buy it again.
