Vichy Purete Thermale One Step Cleansing Micellar Solution 200ml
Calm even the most sensitive complexions with the Vichy Purete Thermale One Step Cleansing Solution, a gentle yet effective cleanser.
Some skin is intolerant even to tap water, making daily cleansing a difficult task. This ultra soothing cleansing lotion with Micellar Technology effectively removes make-up and impurities every day without disrupting the equilibrium of delicate skin. This technology groups the cleansing agents in micelles. These micelles trap impurities and any excess makeup to perfectly cleanse without rubbing or irritating.
The refreshing water is enriched with soothing Rose Phytopheno to cleanse the face, remove eye/lip make-up and soothe the skin in one simple step. Vichy Thermal Water fortifies and protects the skin while reducing reactivity.
Apply every morning and evening using a cotton pad. Wipe over the face gently - there is no need to rub, and there is no rinsing required.
Allergy tested. Tested on sensitive skin under dermatological and ophthalmological control. Tested on contact lens wearers. Alcohol-free. Soap-free. Colourant-free. pH Neutral. Non-comedogenic.

I; as most people have no doubt, tried many different Micellar water's since they became popular. I've tried quite a few of the high end brands as well as the less expensive ones. Some ok, some not so much. I actually prefer this Purete Thermal over all the others. It has no fragrance except for a slight fresh smell that maybe down to the thermal water that's used. I don't use it to remove make-up as I never feel my face is completely clean unless I've used water. But this is ideal for the mornings when I use it to cleanse off products I've applied the night before. It's mild and very refreshing and leaves my skin soft with no sticky feeling as one of two I've used. I don't think I need to try any other brands.

A lovely cleansing milk
Date:September 24, 2018
I used Vichy cleansing milk years ago when it came in a glass bottle with an orange lid!!!! I've tried many cleansing milks since then, but always seem to come back to Vichy. Although I don't have a sensitive skin I use this one anyway because I just like it better than other brands. I don't wear make up every day, but when I do it's the whole works. I start off with the Purete micellar oil, then I use this milk and it leaves my skin really clean and soft, and the fragrance is lovely. I just use the Purete milk on a non makeup day. The price is great on Escentual as well, which is always a bonus.

Right from the first moment I was given a sample of this from a duty free shop somewhere, I've always worn it. The fragrance is of a beautifully warm romantic tuberose, heady but not heavy, and lasts for ages on me. I'm currently on my fifth bottle, and will never tire of it. To find a gift set as well is an added bonus.

My skin isn't particularly dry or dehydrated, so I can't comment on its effectiveness that way. However it leaves it feeling very refreshed and soft after using it. The fragrance is lovely, light and subtle with Vichy's added thermal water. I'll put mine in the fridge in the summer as it'll be lovely and cooling on a hot face. Because it's a gel, it is a bit sticky when it's on, and the instructions state to not wash it off which makes it a bit awkward if you want a quick boost to your skin before reapplying makeup if you're going out. Other than that, it is a really good product that I'll buy again.

I haven't been using this product long enough to gauge it's full effectiveness yet, but I can say it does leave my skin feeling really soft and smooth. I don't tend to use gel products as mostly they leave my skin feeling sticky but this doesn't, it absorbs very quickly and easily. I'm not sure about the 'plumping' bit yet though. I tend to use this much more at night under my night cream, preferring to use the Aqualia Thermal serum during the day under my makeup. A little of this goes a long way, and one pump is more than enough. I will continue to use it to see how it goes.

Vichy Purete Thermale Waterproof Eye Make-up Remover 150ml

When makeup refuses to budge, this highly effective oil-based cleanser works deep down to clear the area. Even the most resistant mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow is gently removed, leaving the skin looking and feeling soft, clear and clean.
The dual non-greasy oil and Vichy Thermal Spa Water formulation makes makeup removal easier than ever, and doesn't tug or pull at the skin. Ideal for sensitive eyes, it provides a satiny finish for the thin and delicate eye contour and limited the loss of lashes through tough mascara removal.

I've used a few of these bi-phase eye makeup removers, some more than double the price of this one, and for me personally there's little difference. This one is just as effective if not better than other brands and takes off all my eye makeup quickly and easily with no rubbing and it doesn't sting. It does leave a very slight oily residue, but I much prefer that than ones that leave the skin around my eyes dry and itchy. It's also a bigger bottle too, 150ml compared to a lot of others at only 125ml. I like this so much I bought another almost immediately.

I bought this to go with the Micellar Oil, and they really do compliment each other very well. It wipes away any residue after cleansing, and leaves my skin fresh and smooth, but more importantly it doesn't dry out my skin. It's also gentle enough to lightly sweep over my eyes without any irritation, so another bonus. It also has a light fresh fragrance too, so all in all it's another Vichy product I'll definitely be buying again.

My BFF recommended this to me, as quite frankly this is much better value for money compared to the more expensive brands which do exactly the same job. I don't wear a lot of makeup, so this is ideal for me and it cleans my face beautifully and doesn't leave any oily residue. The fragrance is lovely, but not overpowering like one I've used. I also use the Perfecting Toner to freshen my skin afterwards, which is also very good. I don't use this oil to remove eye makeup as my eyes are super sensitive, but other than that I will definitely buy this again.

Intensely freshen and hydrate your delicate eye area with the Vichy Aqualia Thermale Awakening Eye Balm.
Created to help your eye area retain a fresh and vital look throughout the day, this comfortable and velvety balm creates balance, ensuring that swollen eyes are prevented in the morning and hollowness is boosted with moisture in the evening. The dynamic eye balm caresses skin with a big boost of hydration, working to fight dark circles, bags fatigues and fine lines.
At the heart of the formula is a powerful hydration complex crafted from Hyaluronic Acid, Aquabioryl and ?-Carrageenans, renowned for their ability to improve water distribution between cells. An added infusion of 15% glycerine helps to retain that water, while caffeine drains and decongests to prevent the formation of bags.
Apply using gentle massage motions both morning and evening.
Suitable for sensitive eyes. Tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control. Paraben-free, perfume-free.

I tend to put eye creams/gels onto a very slightly damp skin, as I find it not only goes further but sinks in easier. This is a lovely gel like consistency, that is easy to apply, and its effectiveness seems to last all day. It doesn't appear to have the fragrance of the other Thermal Aqualia products which is fine, as some perfumed eye products have irritated my skin before. My only gripe is, that the pump dispenses more product than is needed (for me anyway) so I have to be careful not to push the pump too hard. Other than that I really like this eye balm.

Vichy has been around for so long, I can't remember not having used their products at some time. This moisturiser whilst being for normal to combination skin and quite lightweight in texture, keeps my skin very nicely hydrated. The fragrance is lovely and fresh and a little it seems goes a long way.
