Wanted this to work

I received this free from the chick advisor product review club. When I first looked at this product, I was hoping it would live up to its claims. I have dry skin, even worse in the winter, and wearing makeup tends to make my face even dryer.

The first day I used it, I noticed a slight tingly and burning sensation in a few areas of my face. This subsided, leaving some redness, so I continued with my makeup application. After about 3 or 4 hours, I noticed my skin was very dry, and my make up flaking in the same areas I experienced the tingling sensation when I first applied the cream.

Tried the cream again the next day, with no burning sensation, but still the same dryness issue after a few hours of a normal day. Was hoping this cream would be super moisturizing, but it wasn't. Doesn't hold a candle to my regular Vaseline intensive care lotion.

I wanted to like it

I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review

It's been a very dry winter, so I had already been using a rather rich night cream, so this seemed like a welcome swap in my routine. Unfortunately after just one night the skin of my face became dry and patchy, like it somehow became LESS moisturized overnight. I kept trying it the next morning and evening, but after that I had to stop so I could be seen in public again.

Pros:
- meant to be used night and day; it's convenient to only need one moisturizer!
- smells very nice
- it might work better in less-dry seasons than winter?

Cons:
- the shape of the jar (tapered from bottom to top) actually makes it incredibly difficult to pick up if your hands are particularly dry or recently moisturized (so, always)
- leaves skin very sticky and greasy no matter how much/little I use, or how much/little I try to massage it in
- it says to use morning and night, but makeup slides right off if you use it in the morning
- I seem to need to use a lot of product for each use, so it's got a pretty bad cost/gram value at the rate it will be used up
- badly dried out my face and caused patches of flakiness

I love Vichy's other products, but unfortunately this one is not a winner for me

Not for me

I will start by saying that because this product has so many different languages on the label it made it very hard to find the English so I could use it properly.

I had my mom try this too so I could get her (older) perspective on it. I tried it and found that it didn’t really do anything for my skin in fact I found it to be less effective than my regular product. I asked my mom her thoughts on it and she said it was “ok”.

I loved the product packaging - the colour and look were appealing. Unfortunately the product just didn't work for my skin. It burned right after applying and caused some irritation. I resorted to using it on areas other than my face - hands, arms but had a similar experience.

This product is extremely scented. The smell was so strong I did not enjoy using it at all. It's hard for me to accurately judge the effectiveness because I really couldn't tolerate the scent. I prefer multiple layers of light products during the day, so I found this too rich for daytime use, but it was well suited for nighttime. It's a rich texture without being too thick and heavy. I think it would have been a good product if it wasn't for the scent.

I received this lotion to review from ChickAdvisor and was really looking forward to actually having a facial routine.

The cream spreads nicely and smells good. As soon as put it on it made my face smooth and soft but I didnt find that it soaked in. A few hours later I could still feel a residue on my face, similar to wearing sunscreen.

Also after a few days use I noticed small dry patches where there were none before. I supposed it just doesn't work with my skin type but I wont be buying again.

Its also a pricy product when it seems to have the same effect as other drug store cream.
