Pros:

Has a nice light smell.
tightens pores.
reduces redness.

Cons:

Broke out after a month of using the line of products.

I have quite a bit of trouble with acne, and I have tried two products before this with little to no results, and I heard Vichy has a good line of products to help cure acne. It did not work to well for me, but other people I know have had great results, so if your willing to pay the price, you should give it a go.

Pros:

skin feels clean and pores tight after using deep cleansing gel.
Skin feels soft after using triple action anti-acne lotion.

Cons:

weird smell
expensive
broke out more

I'm 29 and went off the pill about 7 months ago which resulted in adult acne and oily skin, I've never had problems before. My doctor recommended the Vichy Acne line to help minimize pores, oil and acne which I've been using now for about a month. Its made my acne worse in the sense I'm getting sore white heads on my cheeks, jaw line and chin, and I'm oily throughout my entire face where it only used to be my t-zone. I dont mind the cleanser, but I do not recommmend the lotion if your trying to clear up your acne it does not work.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Broke me out more than before
Expensive
Overpowering smell

I think someone's down-voting honest reviews. I had my acne under pretty good control and then switched to this. Worse it's been in a long time, and after reading about it not getting better I'm not taking a chance. I've seen other long term users wait months without results.

Pros:

Light, non-greasy, tightens pores, evens skin tone, matifies, spf 15 (I am using the normaderm ultra matifing moisturizer with spf 15)
Comes in a new squeeze tube that wastes less of the product

Cons:

Oily skin still appears shiny several hours after use, skin still appears dry after use, does not seem to do much against moderate breakouts.

I purchased this moisturizer to even out my skin tone when i noticed my skin was looking more oily than usual, with larger-looking pores. Apparently this product takes 4 weeks to see proper results, and i have only been using it for a week, but i already think my pores look smaller and my skin looks less oily, and more even. I do not think this product should be used on its own, especially for those that have acne. I also have been experiencing light acne lately, so I have also been using a product called Solugel at night to take care of blemishes, and i occasionally also use a moisturizer that contains salicylic acid. Bottom line- Use for the purpose of evening skin tone, not getting rid of acne or blemishes.

Pros:

I've used this line for over 4 years.
I use the gel cleanser, the hydration moisturizer and the night moisturizer.
Left my skin feeling light
Relieved tightness
Tingling feeling after application, so I suppose it's working
Tightens my pores.
Makes my skin less oily.

Cons:

The price.
It's about $30 for each of the moisturizers and cleansers.
I prefer Biore when it comes down to the toner and cleanser though. The gel cleanser feels very sticky and uncomfortable when washing. The toner doesn't tighten pores as much.

The moisturizers are worth the $30. Keeps my skin soft, controls the oil, and hydrates without weighing down my skin. The moisturizers usually last me about 2-3 months.

Pros:

The whole line smells nice
Cream is non-greasy to the touch
Absorbs well

Cons:

Products make my face feel sticky at times
Does not control oil as it states
After a few weeks face broke out more than usual

The first week of using it my face seemed to be changing but then it made me break out on my chin, my forehead (in clusters it seems), I got whiteheads on my nose versus blackheads. They say that acne tends to get worst and then gets better. I didn't buy this product because of a severe acne problem, I just wanted help with blackheads and a few blemishes that popped up here and there but I never expected to get as many pop up at once. I'm 32 years old, i thought puberty was over! Don't think I will be finishing the bottles.

Pros:

I am 31, still suffering from breakouts. Firstly I got this product from my sister as she stopped using it. I used it for about 4 weeks and my skin drastically improved, large pores went much much smaller, my skin is much smoother and my is also lot less oilier (I have very very oily skin). The acne and pimples dry very fast and my sking is much much clearer after the frequent use morning and evening. I managed to get 400ml large bottle for only £15.00 - $30 Canadian dollars all in with deliver

Cons:

If you want to buy this product in Hight street you will pay fortune for it. I recommend shopping on line - esspecially on Ebay. Great bargains. I managed to get 400ml large bottle for only £15.00 - $30 Canadian dollars all in with delivery. The label is in Polish but who cares about that.

I think that people with severe acne problems do need much stronger medicated products. To be very honest I must have tried numbers of expensivelly priced products such as Proactive Sollution, Clinique Anti-Blemish, Clarins anti-blemish and many many more. Normally I use product for couple of weeks and results are great, but after the while my skin seems to get used to the product and get back to it's nasty ways. With this products I can say I am getting great results at all time, it slightly dries skin out but what are moistruisers for. I highly recommend this products as it has been doing for me exacy what is says on the tin.

Pros:

Made my pores smaller
Improved my bumpy skin and pimples
Improved my acne scars

Cons:

I wish it was cheaper but its worth it so none really.

Im a 26 years old female and have developed acne over the last few years. I have tried every product including proactiv and nothing has really improved my skin the way I want. I had bumpy skin as well as deep pimples mainly around my mouth. I also had left over red scarring from previous pimples. I was so embarassed sometimes I didn't even want to go in public. This product has transformed my skin in just a month..I barely need to wear makeup anymore my pores have never looked this small and I love the way it feels and looks under makeup. I love this product!!! I use the face wash, the day cream, the night cream, and the spot treatement and they all work well but the night cream is my favorite. I look forward to waking up in the morning just to look at my skin and see more of an improvement every day. I hope this product works as well for you as it has for me..Try it!!!

Pros:

- Smells good
- Makes your face feel really clean
- Goes on nicely without irritating your skin
- Dries up pimples
- Gets rid of red scarring slowly, VERY slowly, but it does

Cons:

- Doesn't get rid of all the pimples
- May dry your skin too much
- Contains ingredients like SLS that stip the skin of the natural protective layer
- Expensive

Did NOT get rid of my acne but kept it under control... sort of. Id break out every now and again. Not good for the long run cuz it stips your skin. Worth a try if you have that kind of money. Im currently trying Urine Therapy which i must say is working better than this product ever did.
