Pros:

long lasting moisturizer, lovely scent, great results

Cons:

expense. annoying packaging on the moisturizer

I've used this system for more than a year. It is expensive, but worth it to me. I no longer have any acne on my forehead, which was my biggest problem area. My favorite product is the moisturizer - it feels like nothing else I've used before. I have very oily skin and it will keep it soft and velvety for hours, unlike all other moisturizers I've tried which make my skin even shinier and cause more breakouts. I still have a couple pimples on my chin from time to time, other than that it's an amazing, very effective range of products. I'm not a fan of the toner, and as much as I love the moisturizer, the pump bottle does get frustrating - I hate waste, and there's always some left at the bottom of the bottle. I LOVE the scent, it's so fresh smelling, it didn't irritate me at all, a lot less offensive than other products I've tried. Overall, it's a wonderful system and it would take a lot of convincing for me to use anything else. Try it!

Pros:

Certain products in this line work very well.

Cons:

Certain products in this line are terrible.

This line is very uneven in terms of quality, altho I guess everyone will have differnt results. I have mild/moderate acne and have basically tried the full line. Deep cleansing wash: Quality product, nothing too special, but does the job. Scrub: irritates my skin, but then all scrubs do that. I don't understand the point of using scrubs on acne, unless you need to get rid of dry flakiness. Toner: Avoid this! Toners in general are useless but this one actually makes things WORSE. It contains oil AND alcohol, yum. Anti-imperfection concentrate: dries out pimples quite well. you have to use a LOT and rub it in good, which is tricky cause it tends to ball up. Layer it on a bit at a time. Day moisurizer: lightweight, nice enough, tho not the miracle cure it claims to be. Night cream: The BEST acne product I have used. Stings the first few times but don't give up. it has really improved my skin.

Pros:

cleared my red marks and scars, reduced my amount of acne and cleared up existing pimples quickly, clean feeling, non greasy, good cost, i love it for a base cream for underneath makeup, reduces inflammation and calms my skin

Cons:

about a week-2 week into using it it'll make you breakout alittle bit, but thats only because its bringing out all the oils to clear your skin better

i love it, i always had trouble with my dry skin and trying to find a good base cream that wasnt greasy and wouldnt clog my pours or give me a really shiny face. i also struggled with large breakouts and nasty red marks and scars from past breakouts, the night cream really works and i wakeup everymorning with less pimples and my red marks are almost completely gone. and i love it as a base its perfect

Pros:

The antispot works wonderfully. Simply great!
Try using the makeup removers from vichy as cleansers(i don't use make up, but tried this by chance)istead of the normaderm toner. Works beutifully!

Cons:

The toner gives terrible breakouts! Avoid it!
The moisterizer is good but the bottle is unpractical.
EXPENSIVE!

Just buy the antispot and the cleansers intended for normal skin. The alcohol rich normaderm toner is very irritating and make things worse rather than better.

Pros:

The deep cleansing gel is very effective and a wonderful buy. Took 4 weeks for full results to show, but now I have unblemished and soft skin, when previously I had always had trouble with spots and had tried numerous cleansers.

Cons:

The glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun so you need to use stronger sun lotion. It dries a little, but I use some oil-free moisturiser (No7) and have no problems at all.

Excellent product. Works like no other cleanser I have used (and I've used many).

Pros:

- The anti-imperfection cream smells amazing, gives me a matte finish, and isn't greasy at all.
- normaderm face wash smells good, makes me feel really clean

Cons:

- toner made me break out a lot
- the face wash really dries my skin
- the cream does not moisterize at all, instead it dries on contact and looks horrible under make up... the spot treatment worked well for blackheads but not really for anythi

I use the whole range of normaderm products and honestly, I think it made my skin much worse. My scars are more noticable, my skin is so tight and dry and using the spot treatment does not help at all. I was really hoping this would work :(

Pros:

It works.

Cons:

Very expensive.

I have had blackheads all over my nose and chin and I just start using it for a week. I have noticed that it is already clearing up. My skin is very sensative skin and good thing that I didn't have a bad reaction as the other product does.My skin feels fresh and smells good after each use.

Pros:

+Contains both BHA (salicylic acid) and AHA (glycolic acid) for good cleansing and improving the texture of the skin.
+Nice fragrance and consistency
+Works to an extent

Cons:

-Can be irritating if used in combination with other anti-acne medications

I like Vichy. Right now I'm using the deep cleansing wash for my back. It does great job work improving skin texture. And my back can tolerate it in combination with BP = my skin is almost 100% clear and good looking. It was too irritating for my face though, but that's because I use BP as well. It isn't cheap, but keep in mind that it lasts quite long.

Pros:

It smells really good and feel so nice on the face. Skin is smoother and some of my previous blemishes faded

Cons:

made me break out when I began using it, I don't think the day cream is working

I guess you have to give the product a chance. I only started using it a couple weeks ago... so maybe the break out is just a sign it's cleaning my skin out. Sometimes skin gets worse before it gets better when you're using a product... so I'll stick with it for another month or so to see if it clears my skin completely
