The Vichy Normaderm routine
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing is the first step in any effective skincare routine. For oily and acne-prone skin, this step becomes even more important, as the skin needs a little extra help to get rid of both excess oil and accumulated impurities.
In order to offer a daily, yet thorough skin cleanse, Vichy offers the Vichy Normaderm Intensive Purifying Cleanser, a rinse-off cleanser that purifies oily and blemish-prone skin. Created with a gentle cleansing base of plant origin and enriched with actives like salicylic acid and zinc gluconate, this gel promises to leave the skin looking smoother, softer, and fresher–no more, no less.
If you’re looking for a more versatile product, you can also reach for the Vichy Normaderm Triactiv 3-In-1 Cleanser Scrub Mask, a product that combines the functions of an exfoliator, cleansing cream, and mask in a single formula. Formulated with exfoliating salicylic and glycolic acids, as well as serum-absorbing kaolin clay, this product helps even out the skin texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, all the while reducing sebum production for a more matte look.
Step 2: Tone
An exfoliating toner can be a great addition to any skincare routine, and this Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion is a good example of that.
With an exfoliating formula that combines AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid), this toning lotion refines the skin texture, reducing the appearance of acne imperfections and enlarged pores. At the same time, it helps to mattify the skin, for a smoother and more even appearance.
Step 3: Treat
The most important step of any acne skincare routine is the “treatment” step, where you address the root causes of your acne breakouts. Try reaching for the Vichy Normaderm Acne-Prone Skin Probio-BHA Serum, a serum with salicylic and glycolic acids that’s been specifically formulated to help correct adult hormonal acne and the marks it leaves on the skin.
In addition to helping reduce acne breakouts, including both pimples and blackheads, this serum also accelerates the skin’s natural renewal process, helping refine the skin texture and tone and minimizing the appearance of dark spots left behind by old pimples.
Step 4: Hydrate
To complete your routine, you may want to reach for the Vichy Normaderm Acne-Prone Skin Double Correction Daily Care, a dual-action moisturizer that minimizes imperfections while keeping the skin hydrated for up to 24 hours.
The main ingredients in the formula are probiotic fractions, which help regenerate sensitive and irritated skin, increasing its tolerance to the exfoliating acids present in other products.
Step 5. Target specific spots
If you want to treat a specific pimple, or perhaps an area of your face more affected by acne, the Vichy Normaderm S.O.S. Sulphur Anti-Spot Paste is the solution. This exfoliating paste with sulfur and glycolic acid was specially developed to dry out pimples overnight, all the while neutralizing redness and soothing the skin.
Use it at night to reduce the appearance of blackheads and pimples, and you’ll see how you wake up with clearer skin in the morning!
