Pros:

Firstly, it smells amazing! It's not strong, not overbearing and it smells nice and clean.
I have oily skin (except my cheeks) and the products from Vichy's Normaderm line get rid of the shine, reduce pores, stop breakouts and eliminates blackheads. Not only that, but I have extremely fair and sensitive skin, I have never had any problems with these products, not even the toner! First toner I've ever used that hasn't made my face burn. The moisturizers are light and non greasy.

Cons:

It's expensive, that's the truth, but it's SO worth it. So to me, the price isn't really a con, but I know it is for a lot of people.
The daily gel, doesn't foam well. However I've found that if you use it in the shower, the steam from the shower helps it to lather better than if you weren't in the shower. Just alittle tip.
Unfortunatley, like any skin care routine, it does take 4-6 weeks to see the full results. But it's oh so worth it!

It's worth a try, what do you have to lose? Yes this product is expensive, but you get what you pay for as with anything else in life. I've spend hundreds of dollars trying to find products that work for me and I would never recommend a product that I didn't fully support. Vichy's Normaderm line is incredible and works for me. *Just to point out, I don't spend 100 dollars per month, thats more like every 2 months. The gel/scrub will last you easily 1.5-2 months, the toner last almost as long. The only thing that doesn't last long are the moisturizers. Which is where I suggest getting two, the day (anti-imperfections) and night (chrono-active) to cut down on costs and to stretch it out longer.*

Pros:

The pro matte is great for oil control...thats about it

Cons:

Ive been using the neutrogena acne care system with the 3steps for about 6months. My skin had never been in as great as a state since my pre-puberty years. Im 23/m and my skin care reg also requires the love of my life: my clarisonic brush. I tried the normaderm night after being somewhat satisfied with the normaderm matte. Well after 2 (and final) nights of use, my skin got 3 large, systic pimples. I have not had these since i was in high school.

Making a last minute visit with my dermatologist to get 3 beautiful cortisone injections in those babies was no fun. My derm couldn't have put it any simpler when she said "keep the routine simple." Use product at ur own risk

Pros:

Smells not too bad

Cons:

No application instructions. Terrible to put under make up in the mornings if you wear foundation compared to normal moisturisers. Caused dryness and redness and a huge breakout of spots on my face that I never had before. My skin was clearly irritated by this product. Atter 1 week of use I got a refund equating to £24 (on both day and night cream). Going back to using my normal brand which is half the price and much better on my skin.

Very Disappointed in this product

Pros:

I've been using normaderm since 2006 i find its the only moituriser i can use that wont make my skin get greasy or breakout

Cons:

four years has cost me a small fortune about 35 euros a fortnight

the moisturiser is definitely worth it but the cleansers and toners are a lot of money when you can get equally as good products cheaper

Pros:

Smells good.

Cons:

Made me break out

I used the Nuskin Clear Action line for about 2 years when I made the move to switch regimens. I acne was a few breakouts and just scarring. I bought the cleanser, toner, hydrating lotion, and intensive care cream. I knew that switching acne regimens can cause breakouts, so I stuck it out for 2 weeks. But I started breaking out in places I never usually broke out in. I thought it I was just simply having an unlucky day, but I broke out severely around my chin and mouth. I just guess this product is not for me. But beware that it may do the same. Be sure you have a good return policy for Normaderm products because they are expensive.

Pros:

I love the mild scent, how it foams, very gentle, product lasts a long time, price isn't too expensive, my face always feel squeaky clean after using it, got rid of the few blackheads I had.

Cons:

Takes a few weeks to notice results.

I think you need to use the majority of the Normaderm line. I use the cleanser, toner, day cream, night cream, and spot treatment. It is pricey but for my skin, it's worth it. I use the cleanser with my Clarisonic, and it works the product in that much better. Like all the cleansers it takes a few weeks to see the results you want, but I wouldnt reccommend this to someone who has severe acne. When I started I had moderate acne and some blackheads, now I have none. Its a long road to get to where my skin is now, but completely worth it.

Pros:

- Smells Great
- Not Greasy/Oily
- Helps reduce appearance of acne scars
- Less breakouts after using it

Cons:

- Started to get blackheads
- Cleanser gel doesn't foam/cleanse well
- Quite pricey to buy the whole product line
- Takes time to see results

*Have to use the whole product line. At first, I only used the toner and cream and didn't get much results. After getting the cleansing gel, exfoliator, day and night cream, I saw results. Really reduced the appearance of my acne scars and had few breakouts. I only get a few sometimes when I skip my routine a day/two.

Pros:

Helped me control my acne, my face doesn't have any acne for weeks, sometimes I get one or two pimples but mainly where my hair touches my face. This smells nice and gives your skin a mattified feeling. It works for me, but may not work for others.

Cons:

I use to think this was very pricey but for what it does, I think it's just the right price. 20$ for Cleanser isn't so bad when you think about the higher end cleansers out there. The moisturizer may be a bit pricey.

Definitely try this out, if it makes you break out keep using it until you're finished with the bottle, I think salicylic acid in cleansers might just do that to the skin at first, but see what happens after you finish the whole bottle of cleanser or moisturizer.

Pros:

Seems to be working great.

Cons:

None

When I started using this product line ( the face wash and toner) my skin transformed in a few weeks and looks signiticantly better. And I have tried A LOT of different face washs and toners. Try it!
