Very good
Great lotion! I love the smell and it makes my skin feel nice! The one star off is because the lotion is a little drying.

Pros:

Light, non-greasy, tightens pores, evens skin tone, matifies, spf 15 (I am using the normaderm ultra matifing moisturizer with spf 15)
Comes in a new squeeze tube that wastes less of the product

Cons:

Oily skin still appears shiny several hours after use, skin still appears dry after use, does not seem to do much against moderate breakouts.

I purchased this moisturizer to even out my skin tone when i noticed my skin was looking more oily than usual, with larger-looking pores. Apparently this product takes 4 weeks to see proper results, and i have only been using it for a week, but i already think my pores look smaller and my skin looks less oily, and more even. I do not think this product should be used on its own, especially for those that have acne. I also have been experiencing light acne lately, so I have also been using a product called Solugel at night to take care of blemishes, and i occasionally also use a moisturizer that contains salicylic acid. Bottom line- Use for the purpose of evening skin tone, not getting rid of acne or blemishes.

Pros:

I've used this line for over 4 years.
I use the gel cleanser, the hydration moisturizer and the night moisturizer.
Left my skin feeling light
Relieved tightness
Tingling feeling after application, so I suppose it's working
Tightens my pores.
Makes my skin less oily.

Cons:

The price.
It's about $30 for each of the moisturizers and cleansers.
I prefer Biore when it comes down to the toner and cleanser though. The gel cleanser feels very sticky and uncomfortable when washing. The toner doesn't tighten pores as much.

The moisturizers are worth the $30. Keeps my skin soft, controls the oil, and hydrates without weighing down my skin. The moisturizers usually last me about 2-3 months.

Pros:

I've been using normaderm since 2006 i find its the only moituriser i can use that wont make my skin get greasy or breakout

Cons:

four years has cost me a small fortune about 35 euros a fortnight

the moisturiser is definitely worth it but the cleansers and toners are a lot of money when you can get equally as good products cheaper

Pros:

Seems to be working great.

Cons:

None

When I started using this product line ( the face wash and toner) my skin transformed in a few weeks and looks signiticantly better. And I have tried A LOT of different face washs and toners. Try it!

Pros:

Left my skin feeling smooth and gave it a nice glow. Smells very pleasant and has a nice consistency.The mattifying cream is brilliant as well as the hydrating cream which really helped my oily skin. Definitely reduced pimples.

Cons:

Using only the gel dried out my skin pretty badly and made it flaky so I used the hydrating cream, which did wonders. Takes a while to show results.

To get the best out of these products, they have to be used consistently. I have a big problem with blackheads and shiny skin. I used to have to apply mattifying cream a few times a day but not anymore. The Hydrating cream also promises to help reduce red spots and irregular skin texture which I can moderately agree with. It doesn't completely get rid of redness but makes it much less prominent. Big pimples are basically non-existent on my skin after using this. But the gel will probably irritate and dry out sensitive skin, so be careful with using these products. The Tonic can be recommended as it really refreshed my skin and narrowed pores.

Pros:

Light & refreshing smell
Cleanser made my skin uber smooth!
Skin feels good after moisturising

Cons:

Quite pricey as compared to other products Watsons like Neutrogena, Garnier etc.

I've got really oily skin and get pimples (which will reduce to dark spots/scars with or without picking) often. Before this I was using Nivea deep cleanser, which I supposed was good since it'd got some Beauty award. Decided to give Vichy a try cos I've always know that its reputable. Definitely made my skin smoother, but pores enlarged (probably due to my cosmetics)... Will try to get rid of my blackheads before continuing the pore refiner.

Pros:

skin feels good, my acne has reduced whether due to normaderm alone I am not sure but whatever works

Cons:

Price - a wee bit on the expensive side

Good product, love the texture and seems to work for me. A little difficult to find as Vichy is only available in few pharmacies but I found their india website [link removed] which is a good help

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:

<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.
