Four weeks later, and my Vichy Normaderm Challenge comes to a close!

The lovely people at VICHY set me a challenge, to use their Normaderm range of products for one month, and report back on the effects the line had on my blemish-prone skin over the month. After four weeks, I’m ready to share my thoughts on the range in full, and how my skincare regime has changed going forward. More on that in a bit, but first a recap on the routine….

The Products 

I trialed the full NORMADERM range. That might sound like a lot of effort, but in reality it’s as simple as a standard cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night, a targeted spot treatment to use on blemishes whenever necessary, and an exfoliator and mask, each to be used once or twice a week. Simple! The five minutes it takes is nothing, and I sleep sounder knowing my skin is being looked after in my slumber!

 

Morning:

Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel 

Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion

Normaderm Global Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

Night:

As above, but replacing Normaderm Global Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care with Normaderm Night Chrono Active Anti-Imperfection Night Cream 

Once/Twice weekly:

Normaderm Unclogging Exfoliating Gel

Normaderm 3-in-1 Mask

As needed:

Normaderm Hyaluspot

 

Over the month I’ve been looking at one or two products each week in more detail, this final product is Normaderm Hyaluspot.

Normaderm Hyaluspot 

Spots and blemishes affect all of us at different stages in our lives, usually at the worst possible time. There are multiple reasons why spots appear in the first place, but once they do, their development is dependent on the amounts of bacteria on our skin. The more bacteria, the easier it is for spots to develop. The average person touches their face an incredible 65 times a day without even realising. Think of all the bacteria-covered items your hands touch daily, and it might make you shudder to remember that this bacteria is then coming in contact with your face too. Hyaluspot is a clear gel that forms a protective barrier on top of the spot, and prevents contamination from getting through. Simply put, this means spots don’t become aggravated and get the chance to develop, and instead they disappear within a couple of days. Invisible, cooling and soothing, Hyaluspot can be worn under make-up and is a Godsend for those of us with blemish-prone skin.

 

Week four: The challenge is complete... 

So my time has come! After four weeks, I come to the end of my Vichy Normaderm trial. A month ago, I had very limited expectations, but I have to say that after four weeks I can see a noticeable difference in my skin. My pores appear smaller, I’ve had less blemishes than ever, and those that do appear are less aggravated looking and are much faster to disappear. The weekly mask and scrub have definitely made my skin brighter and smoother, while the light formula moisturisers have kept my skin hydrated through day and night. The Hyaluspot is my new hero product – and the first thing I’ve recommended to several friends who also have blemish prone skin. Unlike so many products I’ve tried before, it doesn't dry the skin out, and it’s invisible on. From start to finish the trial has been a pleasure, and I’m so happy with the results – particularly when the products are so reasonably priced. One thing I know for sure, I’ll be buying this range again!
