Does anyone use it? If so do you rate it? I keep seeing their stuff online & not sure whether to give it a try?
I have blemished prone skin.

Yes, I rate their serums in particular - like most of the French pharmacy brands it's reliably good all-round stuff. Don't know how they are for blemish-prone skin but it's a good range.

Thanks @Zinnia

Anyone else?

I’ve just bought a whole load of their products after using their online tool, so far I like the night moisturiser. I think if you can get the discount they often offer they are worth a try.

I wouldn't buy everything from one brand, you'll often find different brands are better/worse for specific products.

Are you looking for anything in particular? Cleanser/moisturiser/SPF?

I like some things. They do go hard on the fragrance though, make sure you sniff before you buy

Tested on animals, so a No from me.

I bought some Vichy suncream on holiday as it was the only spf 50 in the shop. It's excellent - very light, non-greasy. I loved it. Off the back of that I then ordered some spf for myself. Only then did I wonder whether Vichy was cruelty free. It turns out not - as the above poster also says. My spf hasn't turned up yet but already I don't want to use it. Kicking myself for not checking first.

It's not bad for the price point.I wouldn't use the whole range, but selected items are very good. They used to do an amazing eye gel in a small pot with filaments in which was excellent but then was discontinued, still sad about that. Their cream cleanser for sensitive skin is my high street fallback if I can't get my usual brand. Nothing else is particularly stand out that I've tried.

Sali Hughes was raving about a Vichy moisturiser this morning.

Sali Hughes was raving about a Vichy moisturiser on her instagram today or yesterday.

I really like them. The Aqualia moisturiser is great, and I have also used the Normaderm range when my skin was more oily than it is now. Vichy suits my skin much better than the more expensive brands I've tried.

I really rate their Mineral 89 which is a gel-like serum containing hyaluronic acid.

Tinks15 · 06/06/2020 22:53

Thanks everyone, a bit dubious trying it with my skin type.
My skin doesn’t seem to like much Confused

If you have blemish prone then their range in the green packaging might be worth a try.
I love the Vit C serum, it's the best one I've ever tried and makes such a difference to my skin.
I have the Mineral 89 hyaluronic serum which is OK, but same as any HA serum really- and I don't like the slimy texture of any of them!
