Vichy sent me over the new Mineral 89 hydrating and plumping moisturizer along with the Idealia collection. I have been reading rave reviews about the Hyaluronic Acid Mineral 89 moisturizer and the Radiance Activating night peel, so I was super excited to test them out and see if they live up to the reviews. The Vichy Idealia range is formulated for people in their 30s who are starting to see the first signs of aging including dull skin, large pores, and fine lines. All of these not so obvious signs of are aging can be caused by stress, lack of sleep and sun exposure. I am pretty sure everyone has suffered from some of these at one point or another in their life. With life moving at such a fast pace in your 30s the Idealia antioxidant complex of blueberry extract, fermented black tea, and Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water helps the skin to look more radiant and smoother day after day.
I have a slight obsession with glycolic acid and overnight peels, so I was super excited to try this new Idealia peel. I have read so many articles about it and had very high expectations. You apply the peel to a cotton pad after you wash your face and leave it on overnight. It has a thicker gel-like texture instead of a liquid toner. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need very much, I learned my lesson the hard way by over saturating my cotton pad the first time. When I applied it to my skin, it had a slight tingling effect, and I noticed a fresh fruity smell from the blueberries and black tea. I find this to be a beautiful light and gentle peel perfect for people just starting out with glycolic acid. My skin didn’t feel dry or irritated in the morning just smooth and fresh. I also noticed that it helped to surface some of my blackheads which made me happy because I felt like I could never get rid of them.
Formula
A peeling action [Glycolic Acid + Hepes] has been combined with the extracts of Fermented Black Tea and Blueberry containing Polyphenols, as well as Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water.
Suitable for daily use, and for sensitive skin.
I have always wanted a hyaluronic acid based product for my face because of its plumping and moisturizer effects. I apply this moisturizer morning and night after I wash my face and use toner. It has a clear gel like liquid texture. It absorbs nicely into the skin without feeling sticky or too thick. My skin looks moisturized and plump afterward. It is perfect for sensitive skin and feels soothing especially in the summer. I put mine in the fridge and applied it on my face after a day at the beach to hydrate and cool my skin.
Formula
Minéral 89 is a pure and potent formula concentrated with 89% Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water, born in the French volcanoes, and associated with natural hyaluronic acid.
It hydrates to strengthen skin and protect it against aggressors like weather changes, stress, fatigue and pollution, factors that lead to dull skin, skin damage, and weak skin barrier. Day after day, skin feels hydrated, plumped, fortified — quenched for a healthy glow.
This is the first daily booster that leads to healthier skin, leaving it more beautiful with each passing day.
The Vichy Idealia Serum is a very nice lightweight fast absorbing serum perfect for morning and night. This is a perfect all around serum for someone who wants something to combat the first signs of aging as well as maintain a bright and glowing complexion. I would recommend it to someone in their late 20s and 30s who want an overall anti-aging serum and leads a busy and active life.

I have been using this as my night cream after I apply my serum and peel and find that it is an excellent moisturizing overnight treatment. It has a lovely pink color and lightweight texture with a fresh scent to it that isn’t too strong or overpowering.

This has quickly become my new favorite eye cream because of the applicator and its ability to brighten dark circles and puffy eyes. It has a unique applicator that resembles a finger this way you don’t have to use your own hands to apply it. It has a slight sheen to it that helps to brighten my under eye area and works perfectly under makeup. I seriously love this eye cream because the effects are almost immediate.
Formula

I love using thermal water in the summer and when I am traveling because it helps me stay moisturized and fresh. If I lived somewhere super hot and dry, I would carry a small bottle of this in my purse to spray it on my face throughout the day to stay moisturized and cool. Whenever I travel my skin always feels so dry and parched from the recycled air on airplanes and this thermal water would work wonders as an instant skin refresher.
Formula
