vichy normaderm anti-age and soap and glory's Dr Spot.
So recently I had a really bad break out which always occurs along my jawline and comes with little spots on my cheeks. I had been using lot's of products that are designed for oily skin but i wasn't seeing any improvement. Out of desperation i searched through a massive bag i have full of various products that i buy, use once and then forget about and i came across Vichy! When i first used these products i hated them! I thought the cleanser was too sticky and smelt of soap and that the moisturiser was too light and smelt of alcohol. But on seeing them again i had a feeling they would be the solution to my problem. And guess what?..... It's worked!
The Vichy cleanser feels very soft on my skin and looks very luminous, almost as though it has lot's of highlighter in it. It looks like there are beads in it but they're not, whatever they are they disappear when massaging onto the skin. I still think it has a slightly soapy smell to it but it smells kinda nice too. The product is for sensitive skin, contains vitamin E and has a shea plant extract. What i love about this is that after washing my face my skin doesn't feel tight and it's very moisturising. It contains 125mls of product but i can't find out the correct price for it as it varies in different stores. It's available in most boots stores though. OH! And it foams up!
For my moisturiser i have been using Vichy normaderm anti-age. It is an anti-ageing, anti-imperfection and anti-wrinkle cream. I'm only 23 but i do own a lot of products to prevent my skin from ageing, i don't know if it's bad for me at the moment but i really like them! My skin laps up this product! I've noticed that compared to other moisturisers i have, this one leaves my face looking normal/matte compared to others which sit on top of my skin and make me look even oilier. Since giving it another go i think it smells like aloe-vera/cucumber. It's good for oily skin and has some effective ingredients in, although i can't comment on it's anti-wrinkle ability as i don't have any yet (apart from those natural folds under my eyes which make me look constantly tired). The only dissapointment with this is that it has NO SPF!!! I make sure to always buy foundations and primers with spf in just in case! It has 50ml of product and retails in boots for £15.
And then finally i have also been using soap and glory's Dr Spot (invisible spot fighting gel). It's a clear gel and contains salicylic and lactic acids. If you see those ingredients in a product it's going to be good! I find it works best as the spot is appearing or after the spot has been through the worst and is starting to calm down a bit. There's not much use in using it while your volcano of a spot is in full swing, the spot will win! But otherwise it's great. It retails in boots for £8 and has 15ml of product.
