Vichy Laboratories was created in Europe back in 1931. The skin care company offers a wide range of allergy tested products which address most complexion problems including dry skin, acne, sun protection and anti-aging. Vichy Laboratories claims to be the number one brand in Europe and say that their skin care products combine Thermal Spa Water with advanced ingredients which stem from dermatological research. Their belief is that the appearance of ones skin is a reflection of the overall health of the skin.

Product Details

Vichy Laboratories products consist of four main categories which are Face Care, Makeup, Body Care and Sun Care. One nice feature about the Vichy website is that it offers consumers a free skin analysis. The experts at Vichy will respond in the way of a report which narrows in on your specific skin related issues. They in turn will recommend which of their products will be suitable for your individual skin needs. Included in the Face Care line of products are cleansers, toners, exfoliators, treatments for acne, moisturizers and eye creams. One of the products in the line specifically designed for anti-aging is Lift Active CxP Day Biolifting Daily Care Anti-Wrinkle and Firming. The main ingredients in the formula are Pro-Xylane, Hyaluronic Acid, Endoline and Collagen all of which are high quality ingredients. Lift Active promises to visibly tighten the skin and smooth wrinkles from within the skin. To their demise, Vichy Laboratories does not publish any of its research data on their official website. Additionally there are no customer testimonials or before and after photos. They do offer a 30 day money back guarantee if not completely satisfied. The full list of ingredients is not disclosed so any claims made about the products cannot be substantiated.

The Good

  • Vichy Laboratories Lift Active Anti-Wrinkle Cream contains Hyaluronic Acid and Real Collagen which are two of the top advanced ingredients used in anti-aging products today.
  • The official website gives consumers a free skin analysis as well as a report detailing their specific skin care needs.

The Bad

  • The Vichy Laboratories website does not publish and research date related to their products.
  • The full list of ingredients are undisclosed for their formulas.
  • There are no customer testimonials and no before and after photos.

The Bottom Line

It appears that Vichy’s Lift Active Anti-Wrinkle Cream may contain some advanced ingredients however without the full list of ingredients, it cannot be determined if the amounts are sufficient enough to produce positive results. Vichy would do well to publish their research data along with some before and after photos and customer testimonials. Consumers like to hear what other people are saying about their products before they decide to try them for themselves. You may prefer to continue your search if you want an anti-aging product that has been proven to work. This one just doesn’t deliver the information required to make an informed buying decision.


** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2013: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science Go



Facial Toner

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Facial Toner

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

We’ve reviewed thousands of anti-aging treatments, and we’ve never seen anything quite like this! The Facial Toner offers a unique, low-maintenance system to promote young, healthy skin. It’s also a great value compared to expensive surgical procedures that still require periodic maintenance. The Facial Toner users cutting edge electronic pulse technology to stimulate the face’s Mimetic muscles, causing them to tone as they instinctively contract. After evaluating this unique product, we feel that it truly revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about the Facial Toner Go

    I received this product in the mail for free which was a nice touch, through Birchbox a monthly subscription. To be honest I’m not very impressed with the INGREDIENTS. Tons of toxic ingredients in the product. Mineral oil a cheap version of (crude oil), fragrance which is NOT meant for people with sensitive skin. Smells like a perfume bottle when I opened it up and other very disturbing ingredients such as dimethicone, corn starch, synthentic wax, polyacryldimethltauramide etc. I would never put this on my face. This company needs to do more research and use higher quality ingedients! I personally use pharma grade on my face and this product doesn’t even come close to comparing.
