Greetings, dear readers of my blog! Recently I overheard a conversation between two friends in a pharmacy. One second valiantly proved how harmful and dangerous Vichy cosmetics are and somehow even affects hormonal levels. I could not ignore such a heated discussion. And I asked the girl if she herself had used these products. It turns out not. This is how myths and legends are made. Although Vichy cosmetics themselves are of very high quality - customer reviews prove this.
Therefore, today I decided to tell you about the history of the creation of the Vichy company. And figure out whether hormonal cosmetics are used or not.
History of the Vichy company
Vichy cosmetics received its name in honor of the French resort town of the same name. This city became famous back in the Middle Ages for its healing water. But it gained fame as a resort only under Henry IV: the town turned into a court residence. From that moment on, Vichy became a favorite place for restoration of health among the French aristocracy.
The history of the brand itself dates back to 1931. Dr. Aller, who was studying thermal water from springs near Vichy, noticed an amazing feature. After water procedures, his patients experienced an increase in the rate of wound healing. Moreover, the skin was calmed and restored. This know-how later became known under the Vichy brand.
Since 1955, Vichy cosmetic products have been sold exclusively in pharmacies. When developing products, Vichy specialists used technologies borrowed from the medical field. In 1969, a factory for the production of cosmetic products was built near the springs.
Vichy cosmetics - reviews from cosmetologists and customers
The effectiveness of this brand's products has been repeatedly tested by time. Not a single generation has been using Vichy cosmetics, so the “reputation” of cosmetics is formed objectively. I noticed that the reviews from both cosmetologists and ordinary users are only positive. Yes, you can see this for yourself.
Regina : I wouldn’t trade Vichy for anything. I've been using it for over 10 years. I’m a little over 30. When I first started using cosmetics, there were wrinkles on my forehead and the bridge of my nose. Now they are gone. I completed 2 courses of therapy using cosmetics with retinol. And now I use Oligo 25 and Ideal. The effect is amazing. Despite the fact that I gave birth twice. This cosmetics is just super!
Masha : If you are negligent about your health and nutrition, no Vichy product will help. Of course, I use this cosmetics, but I also pay a lot of attention to nutrition. I used to have terribly problematic skin. As soon as I ate something, the next day a “rose” always appeared on my face. There was no longer any strength to fight it. I decided to review my diet. In addition, I switched to this cosmetics. Overall, I'm very pleased with the result.
Tanya : I have been using Vichy cosmetics for more than 7 years. I got my sisters and friends hooked on it))) During this time, only one person actually had an allergy to the product. Well, no one is immune from this. But rumors about hormonality just infuriate me. Haven't you come up with anything smarter? The ignorance of those who spread such rumors is so annoying.
Alina : I gave my mother Vichy anti-aging cream. I'm shocked! She's lost 10 years. Although the price is high, the result is worth it.
And here's a video review:
