It’s been awhile since our last Vichy skincare feature, and with winter on the horizon, we targeted two of their essential facial products: Neovadiol Post-Menopause Replenishing Redefining Day Cream and Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Fragrance Free Cream, both dermatologically tested.
If you’re in the post-menopausal stage of your life, Vichy’s Neovadiol Replenishing Redefining Day Cream can help reduce wrinkles, firm skin, and restore radiance. The mildly-scented cream (formulated with hypoallergenic fragrances) feels cool to the touch and goes on smoothly without feeling greasy or leaving any residue on your fingertips after applying.
It’s created with 1% Proxylane, responsible for firming and adding density to your skin as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Cassia extract is also present, to increase both your skin’s firmness and plumpness. There’s even Omega 3, 6, and 9 included to recharge and nourish your skin. This trio of ingredients offers a balanced approach to hormonal variations in your skin.
As your skin ages, lipids diminish, and these important natural fats aid in the skin’s healing, prevent sun damage, and help to retain moisture. Neovadiol Replenishing Redefining Day Cream will help to replenish lost lipids in your skin’s epidermis.
50ml; CAD $63.95/USD $44
Vichy has packed moisture-renewing minerals into their Minéral 89 72-Hour Moisture-Boosting Cream. This cream, also mildly scented, promotes 72-hour, locked-in hydration using minerals, 0.1% pure Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and squalane — an organic, colourless hydrocarbon, derived from squalene.
It’s ideal for use on sensitive skin and will also boost ceramide production via added Niacinamide and Vitamin E. You may be wondering what ceramides are useful for. These are lipid molecules that help retain water in the skin and prevent trans-epidermal water loss from happening too quickly, thus playing a key role in hydrating your skin’s outermost layer.
Minéral 89 72-Hour Moisture-Boosting Cream is also alcohol-, colorant-, and silicon-free.
50ml; CAD $45.95/USD $32
Vichy products are available at Vichy online and throughout Canada at London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Walmart.
