• Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10

Hello ladies! How are you today?
About 2 weeks ago I got an email asking if I'd like to try and review the new Vichy Liftactive Serum 10. I replied that of course I like to try new products and write my opinion about them but since I'm 24 I can't really test it for anti-wrinkle action. I guess they were ok with that and a few days after that the package came! :D
So, what is Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10? It's a serum that you are supposed to use before your usual day and/or night cream. I've only tried one more serum, the L'Oreal Youth Code one and I can say that they really are miracle products! They are more concentrated than lotions or creams but their consistency is very fluid, something between gel and water. That way your skin will absorb it in a minute and it won't leave any oiliness behind. Which is why it's perfect for every skin type, it deeply moisturises the dry skins and leaves the oily ones perfectly matt. You can use it before your regular face creams, day and night or at night only if you believe you don't need it that much. Or you can use it without any face cream if you are going to wear a tinted moisturiser or bb cream. Which is what I've been doing for a week. Every morning I'd use the serum and the Garnier bb cream and run out of the door.

Packaging-Application

You press the white button on top to fill in the tube (while in the bottle) and you press again on your hand. I don't think you can apply directly to your face, which is not bad at all since it's more hygienic this way. The bottle is opaque and it contains 30ml 1.0fl.oz of product which can be used for 6 months after opening. I'd like to be able to see how much product is left but I think that light affects products like this one that contain no parabens so it's ok.

Ingredients (from website):
Rhamnose 10%.
Hyaluronic acid.
AQUA / WATER, RHAMNOSE, GLYCERIN, ALCOHOL DENAT., DIMETHICONE, HYDROXYETHYLPIPERAZINE ETHANE SULFONIC ACID, PEG-20 METHYL GLUCOSE SESQUISTEARATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, SALICYLOYL PHYTOSPHINGOSINE, PHENOXYETHANOL, ADENOSINE, AMMONIUM POLYACRYLDIMETHYLTAURAMIDE / AMMONIUM, POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE, DISODIUM EDTA, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, XANTHAN GUM, OCTYLDODECANOL, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE

Colour


It's whitish clear. Totally clear when applied on skin.

Feeling
Amazing! It applies very easily, you only need a couple drops for your whole face. Soft and light feeling, quickly absorbed, it leaves the skin velvety smooth. Every skin type can use it, even sensitive ones (see below). Don't worry about the serum leaving your skin dry or oily, it won't happen. Which is why I believe serums are miracle products! Now, compared to the L'Oreal Youth Code, I believe this one has a richer formula so if your skin is very dry I'd suggest this one. What else can I say? I really like it, it feels amazing when I apply it and I'm in a dilemma whether I should give it to my mum for anti-wrinkle testing or just keep it! hehehe-evil cartoon laugh-

More
* Hypoallergenic
* Tested under dermatological control
* Tested on sensitive skin
* Paraben free

Smell
Very nice smell, something like roses, very refreshing.

Summary: 2,5/2,5
I can't give it a 5/5 since I can't test it for anti-wrinkle action but as far as moisturised, velvet and soft skin goes, I really like it.

  5. εχω διαβάσει αρκετά καλά reviews για το συγκεκριμένο προ'ι'όν..Νομίζω καιρός είναι να το δοκιμάσω!!

  6. @FashionSugarBubbles: ελπίζω να φτιάξουν σέρουμ και για νεανικές επιδερμίδες! Υποθέτω ότι μπορούμε να το χρησιμοποιούμε κι εμείς αλλά νιώθω ότι πάει λίγο χαμένο, καταλαβαίνεις τι εννοώ.

    @cbsg5861: haha, you are not getting older! I really hope they make serums for younger skins! Maybe instead of anti-wrinkle ingredients they can add anti-acne ones? Now that'd be perfect!!

  7. @Κερασία: χαχαχα, κι εγώ τη ρωτούσα σήμερα και μου λέει ότι το έχει αγαπήσει το L'Oreal!

    @Ελένη: άντε καλέ, αφού κι εγώ το νιώθω τέλειο! Είναι γενικά τα serums νομίζω που αφήνουν τόσο ωραία αίσθηση, βελούδινο δερματάκι. Πώς έχουν τόσο συμπικνωμένη φόρμουλα και τόσο απαλή υφή!!

    @myStickland: να το δοκιμάσεις να μου πεις τη γνώμη σου!! :D

  10. για πιο νεανικές επιδερμίδες υπάρχει το serum τριαντάφυλλο του Κορρέ, εγώ το χρησιμοποιώ χρόνια και το λατρεύω. Παρόλα αυτά θα ήθελα να δοκιμάσω και αυτό όπως κι αυτό της L' Oreal γιατί ποτέ δεν είναι αργά για πρόληψη και δεν είμαι ακόμη 20 κακά τα ψέμματα

  16. I'm using it and wondering if this can be applied around the eyes as well?

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Rana: I think it's not recommended to use around the eyes, I haven't tried it myself. Thanks for stopping by :D

  18. You better don't use this serum around your eyes.I tried once and then some deep wrinkles have appeared,so i immediately washed it out with Spa water by Vichy and put eye cream. No wrinkles then he-he

  19. @Anonymous: I agree, it is not for eye area. Stay tuned, a Vishy Eye serum review is coming soon ;)

  20. Just received some Vichy serum for Christmas. I'm 57 and I think my hubby is trying to tell me something. My first day was yesterday and I fell in love with the texture and how it left my skin feeling. Thanks for telling me how to apply because the directions on Vichy products are very lacking!

  21. @Anonymous: you are so lucky, this is a great serum, maybe the best of all the serums I've tried so far!! Thanks so much for your sweet comment! <3
