(I am French and my grand mother was born in Vichy, which is the city where the name of the brand comes from. The city is a thermal baths / spa center since the Roman times because of its medicinal volcanic origin hot mineral spring waters).

Appreciate the honest review! Thanks for recommending Vichy!

I’ve been using Vichy for more than a decade and it never let me down. This product is just AMAZING

I started using Vichy products when I was 16 years old. I am currently 72, and while I have strayed to other skincare at times, I always use Vichy and Clinique moisture surge whenever my skin doesn’t like one of the new and great skincare products I started using. You’re going to find Vichy in every European pharmacy, not in the drug stores like here in the USA.

Have been using this product for over 2 years, it is a staple in my routine & has completely transformed my skin! Highly recommend

[jpviernes]

My skin looks so much better when I incorporated this product in my routine. I’m currently on my third bottle.

Okay after tons of research & deciding which products would benefit my skin (hormonal acne, post flare hyperpigmentation, fine lines (in my early 30’s), and texture lol), this is the routine based on their steps of Cleanse, Treat, Protect:
Day Time
1. Cerave acne foaming cleanser 4% benzoyl peroxide. CLEANSE
2. 1x/wk or if broken out (pms 😒), Paula’s Choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant w/salicylic acid. TREAT
3. Vitamin c. TREAT
4. Vichy mineral 89 hylauronic acid (to plump). TREAT/PROTECT
5. Cetaphil oil absorbing moisturizer spf 30. PROTECT

Night time:
1. Adapalene (retinoid)
2. Niacinimide

Vichy is what I have always used since my ex husband first gave me a large box of extra Vichy products that his first wife had wanted to get rid of because she was the Cosmair rep here, lol. Gotta thank her for setting me up on over 30 years of great skincare. La Roche Posay and Vichy (and Biotherm and others) are all owned by L’Oreal, and Cosmair Canada was the distributor for all L’Oreal products, at least back in the 80s and 90s in Canada. So, the “special water” is used by more than one of L’Oreal’s companies, and they put a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid (even compared with Vichy) in their “medical grade” line, SkinCeuticals. Just FYI. 😊

Thanks for this. I recently went to Vichy France where they have many spas that focus on their water and its healing properties. I also noticed that French women all ages have beautiful skin and when I stopped and asked what products they used, the most common answer was Nuxe, Vichy, Avene, and Roch Posay. I would love if both of you went to France and evaluated all of their skin care products!!!

You should talk about Korean cosmetic and skin care. I can assure you have lot of juicy reviews

I'm a subscriber from Istanbul and I want to say that I'm so happy to run into your channel! I'm using this product on my skin and I did some research on it before my purchase, but seeing your comments as experts with a scientific background has made me like both the product and YOU GUYS!!! Keep up with the good work my dear docs! Sending love from Istanbul!

Excellent product for hot/humid temps! Super hydrating and plays well with all other topicals including actives. I’m 40, normal to dry. I use this at night. 4th bottle. I do an oil cleanse (to clean sunscreen and the day off, don’t wear makeup). After that a gentle cleanse with Vanicream, a PHA toner, the Vichy Mineral 89 ( on damp skin), the a polyglutamic to really maximize the moisture and hydration, then when it dries, I’ll do my Vitamin A, a niacinimide serum and I’ll lock it in with an occlusive cream (like CeraVe moisturizing cream), let it set, brush my teeth, either do a pure oil (Argan, jojoba or rosehip) and Twice a week I’ll slug with Vaseline right before bed. That’s it! I’m done! Great product. Giving it away as gifts this year.

I have been using Vichy for about 6-7 months. I am so happy to see this, because I have noticed a HUGE difference in my face since I have been using these products. The fine lines on my forehead have all but faded away and my skin feel so nice and smooth. I have recommended these products to all the ladies in my family and we all love them! Thank you!!

I used to live right by where the water comes from in this product (Auvergne, France), and the water here is some of the cleanest in France and it is amazing for skin and hair. I started using this product when I was there and I love it. It is the best hyaluronic acid I’ve ever used. It’s just so incredibly hydrating which I don’t really see from other brands like the ordinary or the inky list. Vichy has mastered this product, plus it lasts a very long time, I think my last bottle lasted me 8-9 months with pretty much daily use or 5x a week use.

I have rosacea that's been in remission for over a year and this is a staple in my skincare routine. I spray my face first with thermal water from Uriage and apply Mineral 89 when it's tacky. I use a Uriage moisturizer on top of it at night; and a SPF 50 on top of it during the day. It's a beautiful product and very simple. My favorite thing about it is the sulfur content.

[roxyhh]

I have mixed-oily skin but my cheeks can get really dry in winter (I live in Berlin). Vichy 89 is life saving for me to let my foundation firmly stay on my face, and never get into trouble with all my skin care products or makeup. I have already used up probably 5 bottles of Vichy 89, and really like its texture, it’s moisturizing for sure and leaves a non-sticky touch even in summer.

If I was having skin problems I would not want a sexy dermatologist (these guys) to see me 😂

[heathergustafson]

I can’t live without hyaluronic acid. It really makes a huge difference especially when used correctly. Meaning a wet or moist face then followed by your cream of choice. You guys are not old enough to know the NEED IT part

[pzambetakis]

You guys should do more videos of product reviews and split them by skin concerns i.e hydration, moisture barrier, etc.. product recommendations are great addition. You are both so insightful and can't wait for your next video!!!!

[emmaonfire]

I have just finished my first bottle of this, and I liked it a lot! It was really great for a Nordic wintertime skincare regimen for me. I don’t think I need ot for summer, but will repurchase when weather cools again. I really line Vichy and La Roche-Posay products. Thank you for this thorough review!
