When was the last time you found a product that was truly offering you something you didn’t already have?
At the end of every week when I clean up my bathroom counter, I put away 3 or 4 bottles of serums or treatments and I often wish there was one that had everything, roses and contained to work just right.
Well this Vichy serum does it. 5% Niacinamide, exfoliating glycolic acid, and antioxidant vitamin C. There’s also Tranexamic acid which is a newer “it ingredient”. I have a more expensive Tranexamic acid serum but it doesn’t have all these other ingredients too, so I’d rather use this.
It’s a watery formula and a one-and-done kind of situation and supposed to reduce hyperpigmentation. It’s too soon to tell whether it works, but at least the ingredients have successes behind them. Once it has absorbed, I use 2 pumps of the sunscreen as a first layer. I mean, I’ve also upped my retinol so I’m being careful and protecting my skin barrier, but so far so good.
I know a few people have tried this or are using it – what do you think so far?
I posted a picture of my prescription retinol last week, and I don’t use that everyday because it’s pretty potent. On other nights, I use one of these – some of them are press samples. Some I’ve paid for, and actually there’s one I couldn’t find in time for this picture, but it resurfaced later.
