Vichy Aqualia Thermal Facial Moisturizer for Dry Skin Face Cream Moisturizer with Hydrating Natural Origin Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing for Sensitive Skin

Most hydrating serums/moisturizers list Dimethicone as the second ingredient. Safe ingredient? Who knows, but some don't like the feeling silicone laden products leave on skin. Coated Smooth and Packed. Further down the list is sometimes okay, but I'm glad I found this combo.EDIT: 1/20/23 . Well the serum, for me isn't enough hydration for northeast winters. I have the combo set(serum/moisturizer) and the cream does help the serum but for my combo/sensitive skin this is better suited to the summer time. If you miss the Peace Rose moisture creme by Sheamoisture one may like this Vichy cream gel since it has a similar if only slightly lighter texture and a simple formula. There is no squalene or rosehip seed oil, and its unscented. Seems to hydrate without silicones. I'd buy the cream again but not the serum. Overall the combo set is a good value if the products work for your skin.Favorite serums: Both have diluted actives w/hyaluronic acids and/or their derivatives. Both work well under various moisturizers/sunblocks and over hydrating lotions/essences.1. Estee Lauder Advanced night repair, original or latest version of it. Hydration with best texture both in skin appearance and feel. Has fermented extracts that appear more natural(not clean) and possibly astringent? IDK. The product isn't astringent or drying by any means nor is it sticky or even 'cushiony' in feel yet skin appears even and calm in tone, conditioned, and hydrated. I cannot suggest the intensive version since I could feel the silicones. It FELT more like a color foundation not skincare. More of a 'blurred' look with a silky smoothing type feeling or finish rather than actual hydration.2. Philosophy When hope is not enough facial firming serum which works well with their vit c powder or the Ordinary's L acorbic powder(much more affordable). Works well alone also with the addition of vit c powder. If pigment issues are an issue this packs a punch with ingredients skincare junkies understand. Soy sterols, vitamin c, glutathione and peptides. To me this give an obvious brightening affect in addition to an immediate hydration boost. On damp/wet skin has more of a cushiony feel.

I absolutely love this cream moisturizer 🧴 I have really dry skin between the changing of seasons. I have been having dry patches on my face for the last month, and my old moisturizer has not been doing anything to assist with the itching and visable dry patches.I went all out with this Vichy line. I got this moisturizer to assist me in getting my face back to my normal looking/feeling face that I'm used to.Let me tell you, after washing my face and then putting this face cream on... whooo doggy!!🤯 What a difference!! This is EXACTLY 💯 what I needed! It was instant relief - feeling my skin drink in the moisturizing goodness this face cream provides. 🤤 It has been 12 hours since I did my night time face routine and my face is still super soft and so clean feeling.My face does not feel greasy or weighed down at all. My face feels so much better. Typically by the time I wake up, my face feels dry and tight as my old moisturizers/serums did not do the trick.I 100% recommend this Vichy face cream if you want a hydrated, relaxed, and rejuvinated face.

I can't believe this moisturizer. I'm 63 and have been desperately searching for a moisturizer that really did moisturize my face and neck without leaving an uncomfortable film on my skin or made it oily and greasy or left my skin dry. I just received my order last night and used this last night before bed. It felt velvety, smells lovely, truly moisturized my skin, not oily, greasy and no uncomfortable film. I woke up this morning to soft, hydrated skin. I'm totally in love with Vichy Aqualia Rich Face Cream. The price is unbelievable considering the quality of this product. I'll never be without. I can't say enough about this moisturizer. If you are in search of a perfect moisturizer look no further. I'll update my post in a few weeks. Update: this moisturizer does not play well with other products like my vitamin c serum or my primer.

I tried this cream for the first time after finding it on a "10 Best List." I love Clarins Restorative Day Cream but didn't want to spend $135 for a jar. This cream is very thick and goes on smooth. It's hydrating and not greasy. It does have similar consistency to the Clarins cream and is made in France, too. However, there was a tunnel of empty space in the jar and when I pressed the cream further into the jar, it was only half full. A few reviewers posted photos of the open jar and, sure enough, mine arrived in the same manner. While the price is great for the quality of a product made in France, the volume of cream in the jar is disappointing. I don't know if it's an accurate weight and/or if it's simply how it's put into the jar by the manufacturer. I bought it on Amazon and the jar and package were both sealed. Of note, the Clarins product I bought a few years ago was full to the brim; no dead space!Olay Regenarist cream was also on that list, and I may try that product next to compare.
