    I really don't find this product of any use. It feels good on the skin but do you really need it. I probably would not waste my money. Maybe if I was in the sun all the time, then I might buy this product.

    J'ai bien aimé pour ma peau sèche il rend la peau douce et non grasse même si ca à l'aspect d'une huile. Le prix est un peu trop élevée pour mon budget mais je le recommande.

    I actually got to use this this past weekend.
    I loved the feel, it was not over powered by scent and didn't feel sticky or greasy.
    Very pleased with this. Thanks for letting me try might consider buying

    I did not like this product. It felt like it was not absorbed by my skin, althought I used a very small amount. I did not feel comfortable sitting in my couch, as I was afraid to leave residue on it. Doesn't smell good either. Not for me.

    This product was good but it didn't wow me. It is meant to use after being out in the sun to moisturize the skin. You can use it either in the shower or on dry skin. My preferred way of using it is before bed. I apply it to dry skin and then go to bed as I find it left the skin a bit slippery. My skin did feel great the next morning though.

    I received this product free to try, opinions are my own.

    This is a new product and the only thing I can compare it too is a cooling spray. This Vichy spray felt great after spending time in the sun. It provided brief relief from being so hot. It didn't leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky.
    I used it in the shower a few times as well, but hadn't noticed any real benefit for this. I don't tan and have pale skin. I haven't noticed any 'Tan Beautifying' effects.
    I have given the bottle to my mom, who enjoys tanning, and spending a lot of time in the sun to see how she feels about it.
    I would recommend this for using while out in the sun after swimming or playing. But the in shower I would not recommend.

    I tried this product as an after sun and skin moisturizer.
    I was expecting more of a water like spritz, but instead it was more like being oiled down.
    It left my skin feeling oily for hours. It wasn't my favorite product for this reason.

    I get the concept of what this product was but I don't really want the point of it was. I did not really notice any difference when I used it but I was glad that I at least tried it. I reckon I will try it out again and see how it works because it was free all thanks to ChickAdvisor.

    I was very excited to received Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Carefree to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. #GotItFree

    I’ve used sunscreens for years because I don’t want to burn and I want to try to remain as safe as possible when being exposed to the sun. That being said, the only “After-sun” product I’ve used would be Aloe Vera Gel in order to reduce the burning achieved by a sunburn. So I was intrigued by this product and couldn’t wait to test it out.

    This is a newer product on the market. It is hypoallergenic, paraben free and for sensitive skin. It claims to hydrate your skin after it is exposed to the sun. This product is a liquid and comes in a bottle with a pump. One pump gives a nice bit of product that can be easily rubbed into the skin. When used on dry skin it does not seem to be oily or leave any residue and it leaves the skin feeling silky smooth.

    This product claims to be “The first tan beautifying after-sun that can be used both in-shower or on wet/dry skin.” The fact that this product can be used in almost any situation is rather impressive. I’m not a person who is a big fan of leaving a lot of products on your skin at the same time. The fact that this can be used in the shower and be washed off immediately after be applied, but allowing you to still benefit from it, is pretty awesome in my books!

    It has more of a fragrance than other Vichy products I have used. It leaves a fresh, clean smell with a hint of something that reminds me of various fruit extracts. It is definitely not overpowering and would not be something I would easily notice if others were to use this product. The bonus is that if you are concerned about the smell of the product, it can be used in the shower and washed off to still allow you to reap the benefits.

    It should also be noted that there is a warning on the bottle that states that this product should not be used on your face. Also, if you use this product in the shower it suggests rinsing the shower after use to avoid slipping. This concerns me a little. I completely understand why the company would place this warning on the bottle, as this product does have the consistency of oil, but it definitely kept me from trying this in the shower (especially after reading other reviews that stated that the shower was slippery after use). Another thing that I expected (and was kind of disappointed not to find in this product) is a cooling sensation when applied. This is what I associate with after-sun products.

    Overall I am interested to continue trying this product. But to be honest, it is probably not one I’d consider purchasing in the future. I feel like it overpriced for what it is and that there are cheaper products out there with similar features.

    I received Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Care free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    First of all, let me start by saying that I like everything Vichy. Well, I did until now. It is a brand I totally trust and I have been using it for well over ten years. In all honesty, I really wanted to like this product, but I sadly didn't. While I understand how this product may be appreciated by a large group of people, I want to explain why it does not work for me, which does not mean it will not work for the next person.

    This is a new product in Vichy's Idéal Soleil line. Although I have used products from the line in the past, I had not used this product or any other after-sun care by Vichy before this panel. However, I have used several after-sun care products as I suffer from very severe photosensitivity due to an autoimmune disease. What I look for in an after-sun care product is not only moisture, but also a calming and soothing effect. This product does not claim to calm or soothe the skin so they are not lying, but the fact that it only moisturizes is pretty useless to me as I do not like having to use several products for one purpose.

    I have to admit that I am not a big fan of oil in my skin products. Since oil is actually very trendy in beauty products lately, I have been more flexible and open-minded in order to understand what the fuss is all about. Some "dry oil" products have really impressed me while the "regular oil" ones seem to always miss the mark, which was the case here. I hate the oily, greasy feeling and the fact that I need to wash my hands repeatedly to get that gross sensation off my skin.

    The instructions state that the product can be used on dry skin or in-shower. I did both, neither worked for me. I first started by using the product on dry skin. I did not feel like it absorbed properly and it left a greasy film on my skin that I just couldn't stand so I had to do my best to remove it with soap and water, which was not easy.

    Then I figured I would probably be luckier with the in-shower application. No such luck. I found the results to be very similar. Again, it might be an excellent product for anyone who does not mind oily products, but it's just not for me. I did however think that the fragrance was quite nice.

    There is also a warning on the bottle, in bold characters, that suggests you rinse your shower after use to avoid slips and falls, but I fail to see how that helps while you are in the shower using the product. My ceramic tiled shower quickly became very slippery so I'd recommend proceeding with caution.

    I personally would never buy this product. I could only recommend it with to whoever likes using very oily beauty products. After being in the sun, I need something cool to apply to my skin, like products containing aloe, willow bark, mint, etc. Unfortunately, this product did not hit the spot for me.
