Love the texture of the product. It gives an instant glow with the pearl extract in the formula. On warmer days I tend to use Idealia alone, and when I feel my skin is dry, I use a moisturizing serum before and then Idealia over. It can certainly be used alone. I prefer using it in the daytime as it leaves little glitter on the skin. Idealia helped my overall skin quality. I love this product and will continue using it on a daily basis.
Also, the smell of the product is amazing!

A très bien fonctionner au depart malheureusement apres quelques mois je voit moins les effets mais ma peau est rester belle

I received several sample sizes of this face lotion, and I was skeptical about the claims of even skin tone and no dark spots or redness after seven days but I was surprised at how effective it truly was. I suffer from rosacea and it is the bane of my facial skin, I was so tired of looking like a fourteen year old with terrible acne, and the Vichy Idealia improved the appearance in three days. I was so happy that I rushed out eager to buy a full size bottle, and then froze when I saw the price. For $60 I can feed my family for a week, and in these poor economic times I cannot justify buying it, but if you have the disposable income I highly recommend this.
