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:

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:

- Smells good
- Makes your face feel really clean
- Goes on nicely without irritating your skin
- Dries up pimples
- Gets rid of red scarring slowly, VERY slowly, but it does

Cons:

- Doesn't get rid of all the pimples
- May dry your skin too much
- Contains ingredients like SLS that stip the skin of the natural protective layer
- Expensive

Did NOT get rid of my acne but kept it under control... sort of. Id break out every now and again. Not good for the long run cuz it stips your skin. Worth a try if you have that kind of money. Im currently trying Urine Therapy which i must say is working better than this product ever did.

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.

I've been using Normaderm for a few years now, and it's hard to say how it's been working, since my skin tends to fluctuate a lot, sometimes based on outside factors. But this is what I've found: Good products: The night cream, and the targetted spot treatment Unremarkable products: the spf makeup, the gel cleanser, the toner, the concealer pencil - all of these products did not make a noticeable impact on the state of my skin. Sidenote: the blue mattifying non-Normaderm moisturizer is very nice & definitely helps with oily skin.

Pros:

smells nice
feels clean

Cons:

can sometimes cause irritation (especially around my nose area)
dryness

i've been using vichy normaderm for about 3 weeks now, and i couldnt see any differences the first week or so, but i continued to use it nonetheless, and eventually, my skin started clearing up bit by bit, although i still break out before my period. i've also been using tea tree oil with it too, feels great on your skin!

Nothing

Pros:

It has cleared up my skin not totally but has helped till great extent

Cons:

after few hours you skin turns oily and greasy....

Its gud...but you need to wash your face every 4 hours and reapply the product.....which gets diffcult if your a working person...

Pros:

The smell is pleasant, and thats about all.

Cons:

Significantly worsened acne over period of a few days.

I very rarely write negative reviews on products, but my experience with this one was so terrible, that I have to send out a warning. After months of acne I was finally clear again, but the cleanser I was using left my skin very dry. This product sounded like an excellent candidate for a moisteriser I could wear throughout the day. After the first application it did leave my skin feeling fresh and matte, but within a few hours I noticed a few small pimples emerging. I didnt think much of it, "this is probably my small monthly breakout" so I applyed a small amount again that night. The next morning (in all the areas I applyed the product) my face was totally broken out. Horrified I stopped using it right away. It is months later now and my face has yet to return to how clear it was... To prove my theory, a couple weeks later, I applied a small amount to my temple area (always clear) sure enough, the next morning it was inhabited by pimples. This product may work for some, but not me.

Pros:

Using the Exfoliator, Cream cleanser, Toner and spot treatment. makes your skin nice and soft, calms down breakouts.
Fondation and concelar work amazing!! Would never use anything else!

Cons:

Spot treatment DOES NOT work!!
Expensive!!
Still having breakouts and it does not stop acne!

It woks to smooth out and soften skin, and calm the severity of breakouts but does not stop them totally! Im going to try different products ie. Gel cleanser and see if its any better then the cleansing cream. If you have sevre acne I would not recommend this. Fondation is the best on the market!
