VICHY NORMADERM Active Anti-Imperfection Concentrate **1/2

This product claims it will reduce an imperfection within 8 hours and have it cleared up in 24. I am not so sure just how accurate this is, or perhaps I just have very stubborn blemishes.

The cream comes out with a slight tint of green, supposedly to instantly reduce redness, but there wasn’t much change once applied. The texture was a thicker cream, allowing it to coat the effected area, but hindering it from soaking right into the skin. I tend to be someone who hates things on my face, not to mention the complications this has with wearing any type of make up or the chance of it being visible during your daily life. Having a product sit on the skin reduces my allowed user time to just before bedtime.  The product did however live up to it’s claims of hypoallergenic use. I have very sensitive skin and noticed no irritation at all from use with this product.

I am quite often asked which is better, VICHY or La Roche-Posay, La Roche or VICHY? In this instance – I am very eager to try the targeted concentrate from La Roche. I have heard good things and have higher hopes.

BIODERMA Sebium Purifying Foaming Gel ***3/4

This is one of the top three acne washes I recommend to people. What I really like about this product, and what it has above many others, is that it is effective while not being too harsh for sensitive skin. Another really great thing about this product is that it can double as a body wash. Lather up with this in the shower to target body acne or oily pores.

Bioderma is a dermatological line from France. They proudly produce great products and maintain an awareness of sensitive skin. There are many molecule patents under this line and the science to back up their products. You won’t find much of this in Canada, but what you can is still great to get your hands on!
