Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion 200 ml

Personally, I loved this product, but there are a few pros and cons to consider. Pros: It improved my acne with just one use when paired with the Vichy Normaderm Corrective anti-acne treatment. It also helped cleanse my skin. Cons: This lotion does contain fragrance and alcohol which can be irritating to sensitive skin types like mine. The lotion was a little pricey and will definitely opt for a cheaper option next time. But it is effective!

2 weeks in and I'm torn

I wanted a toner that was going to help clear congestion in my Tzone and heard great reviews of this Vichy line up. I've previously used La Roche's Effeclar toner with success but thought I would try this when I ran out. I wasn't sure what I was experiencing about a week in, and it's definitely this toner. My skin on my cheeks feels "cracking" tight when I use this toner. I'm 40 and don't like that tight dry feeling on my cheeks; it's definitely more noticeable and visible than when I was younger. For week 2 I tried skipping the toner sometimes and the tightness would be gone. This morning I used the toner on just my Tzone and under my lip where I get congestion and so far so good. Yesterday I got a bit tight doing this where I got it on my cheek so this is why I'm ... MoreI wanted a toner that was going to help clear congestion in my Tzone and heard great reviews of this Vichy line up.

I'm fine with using serums in specific areas depending on my skin concern, but the toner seems like a lot of work and too much precision required. I'm going to switch back to Effeclar and see if I experience the same!I would recommend this for someone to try if they have acne and congestion all over. I would NOT recommend this for someone with combination skin/dry areas.

Don’t skip on the toner

I received this product from topbox to review (#freeproduct) as a part of the 3-step Vichy system and I am obsessed. Toner is definitely one of the most important steps in cleansing your skin in my opinion. I make sure to use a cotton pad and swipe it on my skin, it feels refreshed and tighter. I haven’t noticed a dramatic change in the appearance of my pores, but I’ve noticed a change in the texture of my skin. It feels so soft, I can’t stop touching it! The only slight downsides to the product are the slight alcohol smell (which is normal with astringents) and that it can feel a bit drying after application (which is why the 3rd step moisturizing lotion is very important!). I love that it has salicylic acid which has always worked wonders for my skin. I really ... MoreI received this product from topbox to review (#freeproduct) as a part of the 3-step Vichy system and I am obsessed.

Overall I am very impressed with this product and all 3 steps as I’ve noticed my skin feels a lot softer, so I would definitely recommend it for anyone with sensitive or acneProne skin.

Gentle yet powerful

I have suffered from hormonal spots on my cheeks in recent years. Nothing I tried stopped them appearing until I started using this. I use it 3-4 times per week after cleansing and before mineral 89. My dry to normal menopausal skin loves it. Painful spots are a thing of the past. My skin has not become dry after using this. it smells like a strong chemical solution but it does not dry your skin out. A repeat purchase for me.

Great at minimizing pores and shine

I received this #freeproduct from Topbox to review. I've been using this toner for about a week and a half alongside the purifying gel and 24h hydrating treatment. I use this toner at night after a different brand of gentle cleanser for oily skin. Since using this product I've woken up every day with mattified skin. Usually when I wake up my skin is quite oily and my pores look like craters, but have noticed a remarkable difference since starting this regimen. This product has a really pleasant smell and it feels cooling/refreshing when applied. It has made my skin feel very smooth and looks much more even than before. I feel like this is much more effective than the toners I've ever used in the past. I haven't experienced any flaking, excessive dryness, irritation ... MoreI received this #freeproduct from Topbox to review.

Not bad but not for dehydrated skin

I received this #freeproduct from Topbox and Vichy in exchange for my honest review.I've used a lot of different toners over the years. I like to use products on my oily/combo, dehydrated and acne-prone skin that are PH balanced (5) and this is spot on. I didn't break out when testing this and my face never felt tight but I did find it made my face a little drier than I would have liked, especially on areas with healing acne. It is very light and watery in texture so applies well. It left behind a slight tack that took a few minutes to absorb into my skin but eventually sunk in. It helped calm down some of my less severe acne (thanks to the BHA salicylic acid) but I didn't see a dramatic effect and my pores weren't tighter. My face was more matte right after using ... MoreI received this #freeproduct from Topbox and Vichy in exchange for my honest review.I've used a lot of different toners over the years.

It helped calm down some of my less severe acne (thanks to the BHA salicylic acid) but I didn't see a dramatic effect and my pores weren't tighter. My face was more matte right after using it but after a few hours it was oily again. The biggest con is probably the really strong perfume scent. It lingers for a while on your skin. It isn't offensive and smells clean/refreshing but it's just really strong! If you're sensitive to that, I'd avoid this. This might be average for me but I could see people with less cystic acne/ normal oily skin liking it. Not for my dehydrated skin or winter routine.

Refreshing and fabulous

Someone recommended this product to me. Thought I'd try it as I do have greasy areas with large pores, even at 51. First thing I noticed was how much grime it removes from my skin, the pad is embarrassingly dirty even after I'd removed makeup. I have sensitive skin and had no negative reactions so that's a plus. It has a lovely refreshing feel to the skin, so my skin certainly feels much cleaner and the pores instantly look smaller. Excellent stuff.

Refreshing pore tightening lotion

I have been using the purifying lotion for a week so far and I am very pleased with the results. It is the first time I have purchased this product and very pleased that I found it. The lotion is becoming an essential part of my skincare routine. It is very simple to use every day in morning and night applying to thoroughly cleansed skin. On contact it feels so cool and refreshing and thoroughly purifies the skin removing excess oil and debris, Skin is left mattified and comfortable. With regular use I have definitely noticed a difference to my complexion with a reduction in pore size and a clear complexion.

Wish I Could Keep Using

I received the Normaderm Corrective Anti Acne Treatment 24h Oil Moisturizing Treatment, Normaderm Deep Cleaning Purifying Gel and Normaderm Purifying Pore Tightening Lotion for the purpose of reviewing it through TopBox. #freeproduct I used all the products twice a day (morning and night) for 2 or 3 weeks. I have oily/combination/sensitive/acne prone skin. At first it seemed like the products were working to clear my acne, but 2 or 3 weeks later my skin is at the worst it has been in years. I stopped using the products today. I really wanted them to work.

I do feel like it helped to mattify my skin and reduced the look of my pores. I would like to keep using this product but because my skin has started breaking out since using all the products together, I will not be using any products from this line any longer.
