Pros:

leaves the skin feeling smooth

Cons:

the mosturizer dries up the skin, leaving a very bad base to apply makeup.

It made my skin really badddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!! I have suffered from acne for 7 years..it cleared up totally recently and i bought vichy to improve the texture of my skin, BUT it made it worse. I think i'm going to stop using this product. My skin looks rough, dry and has a lot of pimples on it now!

Pros:

Nice smell, cleanser is nice, day moisturiser makes your skin matte for a long time and reduces red spots well! Night cream feels nice on skin. Foundation works good as a conceiler.

Cons:

Day moisturiser is drying, doesn't moisturise. Alcohol denat 2nd ingredient and it doesn't seem to diminish my acne. Nightcream and foundation contain algae extract, which can be highly comedogenic so test first!! Foundation breaks me out.

I expected more of this. The moisturiser is okay becuase it makes your skin look better immediately after applying, but it is too drying for me to use every day. Won't buy it again. The nightcream felt wonderful but seemed to clog my pores even more after a few weeks, that's when I found out about the algae extract. Foundation broke me out several times after using it as a conceiler locally. Also algae extract! Soo beware of that. The cleanser is alcohol free and quite nice. Might buy that one again. Wouldn't recommend the rest of the line though. Didn't seem to diminish my acne, but then.. I have only used it for a month or so. Maybe should have stayed with the moisturiser longer, but for me it was too drying. And I don't trust the amount of alcohol denat in it. Which is also second ingredient in the foundation, by the way! I like La Roche Posay better up till now.

Pros:

the best acne skin care i have ever used

Cons:

quite difficult to get it in the store,i got it easily in swiss but is difficult to get the product in london

absolutely amaing,the products has nice frangrance...the exfoliating with microbeads work well on dead skin cell and haven cause any irritation so far,but to avoid irritation i only use exfoliat gel cleanser at night while morning i use the acne cleanser without microbeads.the toner is nice at first as my face as very oily,but i started to see dramatic result after i used product and now my skin is dry...so i stop using toner and just stick to the night cream and moisturiser.the day cream work perfectly,nice scent..and both night cream and day cream has matt effect.love it.. when the first week i used the product my skin has more white heads,popping out from my skin but i think is the product clearing out the skin,took about two week now i hardly have any whitehead popping out from the skin...less acne which is good...hope the longer i use the better my skin would be.

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:

- 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 stopped my face from breaking out and it controlled the current acne and pimples on my face without making it worse like proactiv.

It made my red marks lighter. It made the pimples on my face smaller.

Cons:

It is quite costly... i think its more expensive then proactiv.. but i guess thats the price we have to pay for flawless skin

(I have moderate acne.. and lots of scars.) The cleansing gel really deep cleans. your face feels really really clean after. The Day time anti perfection cream isnt as good as the night one. I realized spreading the night cream thick on your skin makes your skin look REALLY good the next day. Red marks faded Stops a pimple from worsening. The areas where i dont have pimples, it gives my face a sort of porcelain look.

Pros:

love the smell. my skin looks flawless.

i have had blackheads all over my nose and chin for years and i've been using it for two days and already its clearing them up. I also have very sensative skin and i haven't had a bad reaction yet. I have minor breakouts and they are already dissapearing. My skin feels fresh after each use.

Not that good for me
I have very oily, acne prone, sensitive skin and I have been using the same products for years (Clean and Clear facial cleansers and Nivea toner). They always worked very well in keeping my skin clearer but the Clean and Clear facial cleansers tend to dry the skin a little. That is why I wanted to try Vichy normaderm products, including the moisturising cream; I had been told the products were very good for my skin type, that they would not dry out my skin, the cream would help reduce the sebum and they don't contain paraben, which is good. But, it has only been one day and every single product makes my face sting and the moisturising cream just seems to make my skin even oilyer than before. I also tried the night cream and it made my skin super oily. Some people say that you have to keep using it for a while to see good changes but I have very capricious and sensitive skin so I definitely won't use it again...The only product I really love is the foundation. It does not clog my pores, it keeps me matte for hours (in an 8-hour day I had to touch it up only once), it does stay in place and the finish on my skin in just fabulous.

Pros:

- smells good
- doesn't try up your skin

Cons:

takes quite a while to heal everything up

- my mom's friend is a Vichy dermatologists specialist representative for Ontario & she said unlike Clean&Clear or Neutrogrna; Vichy takes a long time to heal acne. Though it does take a long time, it cures the skin naturally since it's products have less chemicals than other acne solutions. So, be patient & a result with come through, or at least somewhat !
