Pros:

Evens out skin blotchiness over time. Exfoliates (with exfoliating cleanser). Keeps me relatively pimple free. Smells great. Lower amount of salicylic acid (0.5% rather than 2%) is gentler and as effective. Claims to be based with mineral water.

Cons:

Expensive. Can be drying at first. Can cause a reaction in some (my boyfriends skin turns bright red after using this).

I've been using Vichy Exfoliating Daily Cleanser for about two years. I have now using it along with prescription Differin gel for about 6 months and my skin has never looked clearer. I tried everything before, and this combination works better than any benzoyl peroxide system that I've used before. My skin does occasionally get dry and flakey, but this is probably from the Differin, as I used the Vichy before without the dryness. I moisturize with Neutrogena Visibly Even Daily Moisterizer, and like I said, for the first time in my adult life (I'm 27) I finally have clear skin.

Pros:

+Your skin does feel clean
+Nice scent

Cons:

-I only had mild breakouts for months, then I switched to Vichy and my skin is out of control so I'm trying a new product in a few days.
-These new pimples are so hard to get rid of. Even squeezing them doesn't help because they crust over.

Everyone says to keep using Vichy for few weeks. Well, it's been a month since I bought it. I've used it religiously - twice a day, no more and no less. I've used the same foundation for the last two years so it's not possible that it's what's giving me these new breakouts. DO NOT BUY VICHY. My face looks disgusting now. At least before I could cover my breakouts without them crusting over or looking nasty.

Pros:

It smells nice, and that's all for now...

Cons:

The first time i used it, i didn't use it religiously, i got the normaderm wash, scrub, and day/night creme but i found my make up did not go on well after using the creme, so i substituted my marcelle moisture creme. and my skin started to breakOUT

Its suppose to be a good product, so i guess I will use it, religiously. And see if the GREAT effects come in soon..oh and I apply the norma derm stick before bed..to dry up any pimples and/or wide open pores.

Pros:

It dries out the skin which oily skin thinks is good.
Drugstores always have samples.

Cons:

Price, and lots of horrifying reviews. Vchy is owned by Loreal. Loreal is an expert on cosmetics and makeup, not on intense long term skin testing.

On first use, it seems pretty good. But why so many horrifying reviews?

Pros:

<using the night cream, and the gel face wash, and for occasional dryness the moisturizing day cream>
really made my pores smaller and general skin texture much nicer
my skin is less oily

Cons:

it's a bit pricey

I have really oily skin and I get a mixture of blackheads, smaller pimples and cystic acne. Before I started using this my skin was extremely oily and there were small pimples all over. I still get breakouts with cystic acne (especially around my period) but I definitely see a noticeable difference in the overall appearance of my skin. The texture has evened out and there's less blochiness and irritation. And the pores are much smaller. I'm hoping with continued use it'll calm down even more. I got the moisturizer for a deal with the cleanser - I don't normally use moisturizer bc my skin's so oily. This one made my skin oilier too, but not as bad as others - I use it in tiny amounts on little dry spots. I will probably use it more in the winter as the weather gets dry and harsh.

Pros:

It helped me against blackheads, i really had big and visible ones now they are much smaller, also skin feels a bit more clear then before,

Cons:

It made my skin break out alot, got really bad acne problems after using Vichy anti-imperfections,

It works good for blackheads and makes skin look more clear, But using it after 1 week i had to stop becose it made my skin break out to much, i have now really painfull acne all over my face, also i got miliums out of it, the small white dots. And each time i put it on my face i feelt like my cheeks were burning. Not really worth the pain sure result of some came out good while it just made other even worse. I have no idea how to get ridd of my acne now.

Pros:

+Day moisturizer gives your skin a nice, matte finish
+Reduces blackheads and size of pores
+Daily exfoliating scrub cleaner gets rid of dry, flaky skin

Cons:

-Can be drying to your skin for the first couple weeks of use
-The pump bottle for the day moisturizer is stupid; it gives the illusion that it's empty when you can still hear product in the bottom of the bottle when you shake it! Wasteful bottle

I've used this product for close to 3 years, and it consistently keeps my skin looking young and beautifully clear. I use the daily exfoliating scrub cleanser and the day moisturizer lotion, and the spot treatment when I get a nasty single pimple. Better than any crappy "drugstore" stuff such as Oxy, Neutrogena, Clean&Clear, Clearasil, etc., which I find to all be very harsh on skin. Vichy Normaderm is a gentle product. It does take a couple of weeks or so for your skin to "get used to" the product when you first start using it; but STICK WITH IT - it WORKS for MANY different types of skin, not just those suffering with acne!!!

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

doesnt feel like a moisturiser more like a lotion, when u apply make up it stays in 1 region and later in afternoon ur skin is greasy looking !

Was a heap of sh1t and if i made this product i most likely wouldnt be selling it to a market that is uncomfortable with there skin because of ache - where are the ethics these days. tthe only reason use it for 3/4 wks because i thought it might heal my skin in time but no improvement.

Pros:

Its smells so good! First time I used it, my skin felt clean and soft. Fewer blackheads and whiteheads.

Cons:

The scent can get overwhelming at times or maybe it's just me.

It healed my blemishes very well. Just wash your face often or use a daily Vichy cleanser then apply the Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care after. It does exactly what it says on the box, Immediately purifies skin Reduces the look of imperfections and matifies skin and tightens pores. :)
