Received my Vichy Idealia Life Serum a while ago and tested it thoroughly. First of all it comes in a really beautiful container and opening it I just loved the smell! I believe this is a high quality product and it partly made my skin feel more smooth. In case of the Vichy Idealia Life Serum I liked the texture way better than from Skin Sleep creme, it is firmer and easier to apply. that is about the positive things I can say about it, unfortunately with a lot of cremes and serum I used in the past it just "sits" on my skin, instead of really being absorbed, and if you accidentally rub your face it forms little rolls and peels right off. For that reason I gave the Effectiveness only an average.

I received this product from the Review Club for free. What lovely packaging! This product does not need to be hidden in a cabinet, out of sight. It can be left out on the counter for the world to see. :-) Very little of the serum is required, so it should last quite a while. It felt great on my face - very light. As for the claims of fresh complexion, even skin tone, refined pores and rested features, I didn't really see any of that, but it may come in time after prolonged use. As with the accompanying night balm, the price is quite steep, so I don't think I will purchase this after I use up this bottle. Unless, of course, I start seeing a more even skin tone or refined pores. Then I'll need to re-consider.

I was so excited to try this out.
I did like the scent, it has a nice floral smell to it.
I was hoping it would make a difference to my skin, sadly, it did not.
I did not find that it helped my skin at all.
It is a fairly expensive product, so I would not buy it.
Some people may find it helps out with their skin, But for me, It did nothing.

This is a pretty fancy-looking product. It went on really nicely, smooth and gentle and soaked in well, too. I used it in combination with the night cream that was sent to me.

I enjoyed using this product but didn't really notice any difference to my skin over the 2 weeks. Just basic hydration. The smell was nice at first but gets annoying after a while.

I wouldn't buy this again because it didn't rock my world and the price is very high. I get better results from using face oils.

I had the opportunity to try this product for free through Chick Advisor. Upon first glance, I thought the product packaging was very pretty - something you come to expect from a higher end beauty product. This product definitely delivered - It smelled nice and was very light weight; after just one application I noticed my skin was softer and not as red, and my pores less noticeable. After a couple applications my skin looked well hydrated, making me look a bit more well rested. However, I do think that I am allergic to the product, because before using I did not have any breakouts, and after using for about a week I had a severe breakout all along my cheekbones and jaw line, which is just now starting to heal up. I honestly wouldn't pay $55 for any beauty product, and I'm glad I didn't pay for this one, as it would have been a waste of money not being able to use the whole thing due to an allergy (even though it claims to be hypoallergenic)

I was one of the lucky ones to receive this from the ChickAdvisor for free to review. I have been using this everyday, for almost three weeks, morning and night. I really like the scent and texture of this product. It feels very light and makes my skin very hydrated. Does it even my skintone and refined my pores? Not that I can tell. Maybe if I continue using this I will be able to see. A little does really go along way. Is this the best serum out there? Probably not. Would I spend $59 on this? I don't know. It is probably one of the more expensive skin can item that I own. If you have the money and don't mind spending it then you should try this but if you are on a budget, you are not really missing out on anything. I do really like the packaging though. I think its made out of glass and is frosted with pink. It is probably my favourite skincare bottle ever.

I received this product free as part of the review club. Paired with the skin sleep product as new parts of my daily routine, my skin is definitely brighter and more moisturized.

I received the Vichy Idealia Life Serum from ChickAdvisor to try for two weeks. This product comes in a pink pump which makes it easy to squirt out a bit of the cream and apply. The cream itself is fairly light weight and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. The scent is a fairly mild, but still noticeable. I would have preferred if there was a little less scent in the product. I can't say that I noticed a huge difference in my skin tone and texture while I was using the product. The instructions suggest that you put the serum on under your normal moisturizer in the morning. I found that if I did this my pores started to clog up. I had better luck just using the serum in the morning on its own.

The product isn't bad, but I'm undecided if I would purchase it again. If I was going to spend my money on a Vichy product again I think I would invest in the Idealia Skin Deep instead.

Along with the skin sleep, it took a bit for my skin to get used to it. I do like it now and feel that it has made a difference . It makes my skin feel more hydrated and has helped with fine lines.

I got this product from the product review club, which was very exciting! I found it to be a bit heavy overall: I felt like it still coated my face in the morning. Also the scent was so strong as to be off putting. My skin has looked good in the two weeks of using it, but I don't know that it's dramatic enough to warrant the price tag.
