Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizing Cream


This facial moisturizer uses Vichy's mineralizing thermal water which is rich in 15 minerals and helps to strengthen the skin's barrier to protect it from daily aggressors causing dry skin.  This formula is fortified with Vitamins E and B3 and boosts 48 hours hydration.  It is marketed as having an oil-free lightweight texture that is suitable for all skin types.  Also, it has broad spectrum UVA + UVB sun protection.


My Thoughts

I use moisturizer on a daily basis and have used many brands over the years.  This Vichy moisturizer rates in my favourites!  I loved the pump dispenser which is a much cleaner and more sanitary way of dispensing the product.  I found the moisturizer to be free of fragrance so it was not irritating at all in that regard.


The texture of the moisturizer was perfect--not too runny and not too thick.  I would describe it as a lightweight cream.  It absorbed very quickly into my skin and left no sticky or tacky residue.  My skin felt soft and supple after application and made the perfect base to apply my foundation.  I also loved that this product had an SPF 30 in it so I am protected from the damaging rays of the sun.

I used this moisturizer daily in the morning and found that it hydrated my skin all day long.  I do have oily, acne prone skin and this product did not aggravate these pre-existing skin issues.  My skin was not extra oily and it did not cause breakouts.

Overall, I am so pleased with this moisturizer.  It was a joy to use!  I would highly recommend this product to others, especially those with my oily, acne prone skin type as it worked beautifully.  I'm happy to incorporate this into my daily routine.
