I felt as if this product kept my skin safe and was effective, however the cost outweighs the benefit for me. I was lucky enough to receive it as a product review and use the product, but I just couldn't see many differences between this and my regular SPF cream. I adore vichy, but this was not one of their products I would purchase.
I was pleased to have the opportunity to try the Vichy sun products and liked them, but find them to be too costly for me.
This cream was quite thick and doesn't fit my lifestyle as it does not have water resistance.
I did try it on times when I was not going to be long in the sun but without being waterproof I cannot use it often as we have a pool and it has been a very hot summer it needs sweat resistance as well.
I will not be repurchasing this product.
I received this product via chickadvisor to review for free. I think you are definitely paying a lot more just for the brand name, the price is very expensive for what you get. For me, the product was a little runny, did not blend into my skin, and I found it left white residue on my skin. I tested this product out before going for a run, and when I started to sweat, the white residue came off my skin and damaged my shirt. However, the scent was very nice, and it was effective in protecting my skin from the sun.
I have a difficult time finding sunscreen that does actually help me prevent burning as I am so fair. Vichy is only the second product I have been able to find that does keep me from burning.
It doesn't have any underlying chemical smell and is also very light weight, most products leaving me feeling as though I am coated in a thick coating of lotion. I also have extremely sensitive skin and this has not irritated my skin at all which is a great bonus.
I received this product from the Product Review Club campaign and I did not like it as it is very white and pigmented makes my skin look very ashy as I have a darker complexion. I love the way it feels on my skin but I wouldn't reach for this sunscreen simply because it makes my skin look very unnaturally pale.
I liked Vichy Idéal Soleil Sheer Lotion Bare Skin Feel SPF 60. I don't think I would pay the price, but if money was no issue I would buy this product. It is not greasy, does not smell bad and unfortunately is not waterproof.
I liked this product but there was a learning curve to applying it. If you apply too much it will ball up and sit on the skin. However, if you use the right amount (a little then add more as necessary) it soaks right in and you don't end up having that sticky "I'm wearing sunscreen" feeling.
As a fair skinned, sun sensitive girl I use a lot of sunscreen and was excited to give this one a try. Overall I was not very excited about the product, it did its job when it came to sun protection and it felt very much the same as other sunblocks that I have used. In conclusion I'd say save the money and go with a basic brand of sunscreen as it works the same.
Not a big fan of this sunscreen. For the price, I would expect much more compared to less expensive, store brand products but this leaves me disappointed. One positive is that it does not feel greasy. However, it does take a while to rub it in well so not leaving a white residue.
