Been using it for 2 years and it’s the only thing keeping my pores clean
Vichy Normaderm Anti-Acne Double-Action Moisturizer 19 ingredients
One of the best
This moisturizer is really good, but if you apply little excess you will feel sticky and need sometime to be absorbed.. it’s not treating acnes but it can try to maintain their level without excess of acne .. over all it’s one of the best not the best and i cant use it alone for perfect skin day
Awful compared to Beautifying Acne Cream from Vichy
Vichy for some reason discontinued their best selling beautifying Anti Acne moisturizing lotion. They reccomended this for me instead, and it is the worst moisturizer on the market in my opinion. It leaves me oily, doesn't mattify at all, refuses to absorb no matter how long or how much product is used, and worsened acne to a horrific degree. Show more
