    I received this product as part of the Product Review Club in a set. My skin is oily and acne-prone, so it needs all the help it can get! This cleansing gel worked well in the evenings after an oil cleanser as part of my double cleansing routine. It smells great (but not very strong) and leaves my skin feeling very clean. I would not recommend this to anyone with dry skin since my skin felt a little tight afterwards. I personally would not use it in the mornings either but at night its fine since I layer my night serums and creams before bed. For the price, I am not sure if I would re-purchase if it wasn't on sale, since there are other cheaper cleansers that I would prefer before this one. Overall, it was unfortunately not an impressive line from Vichy (sorry!)

    I haven’t tried many gel cleansers that I like, but I was a fan of this one. It’s extremely gentle, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or tight after use. I also find it does a great job of removing excess oil from my skin, leaving it perfectly prepped for makeup in the mornings. I do like the packaging as well, and the pump especially. One thing that bothers me a little though is the scent. I believe it’s supposed to be an apple scent, but it just smells chemical-y to me. It’s not a huge deal because the scent fades a little once you apply it, but the smell when you first pump it out of the bottle is extremely unpleasant.

    I got sent this products by vichy and overall i was not overly impressed. It gave me an awful allergic reaction all over my face so i have no clue how well it works for acne, but it is most definitely not suitable for sensitive skin.

    I received this product as part of a promo pack for Vichy products. I have used this several times and I dont think i am sold that it is better than the other products i use. I tend to be a bit clumsy when washing my face and this wash BURNS the eyes, more so than what other products would, i realize this is just a human error moment but it turned me off from using it. In conjunction with the other products i was provided this one was my least favorite for that reason. For the most part it did what it promised to do, but i likely wont rush to purchase again just because i clearly am not capable of using it without causing discomfort to myself. I may try it again in the future but i think i will stick to my usual face wash and compliment it with other products from this line!

    I received this product free as part of the chickadvisor product review club.

    This cleanser is ok, but I definitely wouldn't repurchase it.Immeditaly after washing my face , my skin felt really soft and just clean but then it became really dry and it just felt tight and almost itchy.
    I did like how you only needed the tiniest amount of product and you get a good lather.I used it with my clarisonic. I wouldn't recommend this product , sorry Vichy again with the disappointment.

    I received the Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel by Vichy free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    I have acne-prone skin and after reading the reviews, I was hoping for miracles from this product. I didn't act as expected. My skin seems slightly less oily and the overall appearance of my skin is good, but it seems like I breakout more since I use this product (I have been using the product for three weeks now).

    I will keep using it until the bottle is empty, and will keep you posted if my skin clears out.

    The smell is amazing, though.

    This cleanser is just ok - I feel like it cleansed my skin decently but didn't make a huge difference in my skin after using it for three weeks/twice a day. It left my skin feeling clean and fresh, but I don't think it got into my pores and made them any better than any other cleanser I've used.

    I find I get the same results with a gentle cleanser like Spectro Gel or Cetaphil as I do with this, for a fraction of the cost.

    Thanks to the Chick Advisor Review Club for letting me try this out!

    All in all, I think it's a great daily option. It's a pretty watery consistency and has a light scent (sort of smells like men's cologne a bit? I didn't mind it at all). I could feel it cleansing without striping my skin of any moisture which was a great feeling (I did not feel any tightening of my skin). I've used acne treatments in the past which completely dry out your skin, but this cleanser didn't do this at all. With this being said though, I don't think it provided a deep cleanse of my skin. I have massive blackheads and pores and only really felt a surface cleanse.

    This cleansing gel was well,..just OK. It cleaned my skin well enough, but didn't really like the smell ( kind of a weird scent) It did make my skin feel soft, but overall I found that it hasn't cleared my blemish prone skin any better than some less expensive products I have been using.
