Pros:

Nice smell
light and feels non greasy

Cons:

Very expensive
very very slow in getting results; inefficient
Clogs my pores and whiteheads
causes breakouts

I started using vichy like a month ago. it actually started out great because i love the smell of the lotion and the washing gel makes my face kinda feel fresh. but 2 weeks later my face broke out with large acnes like some on my cheeks and jaw line and seriously a lot on my forehead, near the hairline. its definitely nt because of my hair that i have acne because previously before i use vichy i dun have acnes on my fore head. the pimple cream is super slow. it seriously doesnt clear my acne within 24hrs as stated on the bottle. right now i have been applying the pimple cream for 5days both day and night but it only reduce swelling. the washing gel and toner, although makes my face feel fresh, it really doesnt help to wash impurities.. the lotion is like very nice to apply and smell but right now after a month, i got a lot of clogged pores on my nose and seriously especially around my nose and chin, the t zone there. my cheeks also grew pimples which last time dont have.. i grew a lot of sore whiteheads on my cheeks and nose also. i dont know why but vichy doesnt help in curing my pimples, instead it got worse so now i am going to stop using vichy and find a skincare doctor.

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:

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:

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:

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:

The pro about this product is it WORKS!!! I use nomaderm face wash, toner, moisturiser and eye cream day and night. It makes my face feel smooth and clean.

Cons:

The price is higher then I usually pay but worth it.

I never had acen growing ut when i turned 26 acne became a problem so i tried Clearisol and Clean and Clear adn those didn't work. I ventured off onto a spending free and bought PROACTIVE which did not work for me at all. The only good thing about that line is the facial mask. I then went o the Aveena line and that wasn't working. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me the harshest stuff out there for my face and it made my burn, itchy and did help the pimples but didn't clear it up enough. A lady came to me in a pharmacy and ask if she minded she recommend something to me. She told me aout Normaderm and took the ack of my one hand, and used all the products on it. I could feel and see the difference between my 2 hands. I bought the started kit and wished I'd spent that kind of money earlier.

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 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:

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:

removed blackheads, and a steady decline in acnee.

Cons:

can be drying, and vit takes time

used normderm scrub, then normaderm wash then switched to 'pH 5.5' to "help your skins own antibacterial properties." because normaderm strips away oils too strongly for my long term use. But my skin is amazing now.
