Thank you so much for letting me take part in this trial ... I fell like a new woman already!!!
I got my Vichy Idealia Life Serum last week and started using it straight away.... I don't normally wear makeup, a tinted moisturiser or a very light foundation is all I go for, but I always cleanse and moisturise. For my daily routine, I decided to include the serum instead of moisturising, and the initial results are fantastic. The serum has a very light tint to it - the colour of skin, sort of pink/gold and it really (genuinely) made my skin look bright and refreshed, as it promised it would. It smells gorgeous - a light refreshing fragrance, and it was really easy to apply, very smooth and silky. I have combination skin and it really worked well keeping the dry areas moisturised and the oily areas in check. The serum just sinks into my skin and there's no heavy residual left.
I'm on day 5 now using it morning and evening, and I can see a real lift in my skin - something that I haven't seen from my normal products. There is a definite reduction in pores especially around my nose and cheeks - this is one of my real problem areas so for that alone I'm delighted.
If this is what it can do in just 5 days - I cannot wait to see what it does after longer use. And my friends have noticed a difference too, asking if I've changed my makeup! Winner!
I'm a totaly convert, this is a great addition to the daily skin care regime, and it can be worn on it's own, or with makeup. I will definitely use it again and I will and have recommended it to friends. Great product that totally lives up to the hype.
Thanks Vichy and MummyPages for letting me take part. Fantastic trial - so happy to have been chosen. I'm converted.

I received my vichy idealia life serum on friday 6th September so this is my 4th day using it. all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pregnant and have not being getting a good night sleep i am always tired and run down and it shows on my skin. it was dry and just looked drained. I used this on Friday Morning and Again on saturday when i attended my mams house and she commented on how well my skin looked i explained to her what i was using and she said "well natalie its a miracle worker you should stock up".

I was never one for using products on my skin other than a face scrub and E45 but never in my life has my skin ever looked so refreshed. I suffer from adult acne which has only started over the last 7 months but now that i am pregnant i cannot take my medication so i really was very embarrassed about my skin but this has given me confidence back. My make up goes on so smoothly and i dont mind going to the school without any makeup on like i did this morning

I am very very excited to keep using this product! thank you so much for letting me take part as a tester

I wear make-up daily and often find that my skin can become very oily and dried out - which is never a good look. I was delighted when I came across this trial and seemed like just the thing I needed and was even more delighted when I was choosen to take-part and sent a free sample.
I have being using the serum for 6 days now and I normally wouldn't be one to notice the difference in products - but I honestly feel like a new person since using Vichy Idealia Life Serum. The serum is just amazing - it not only makes your skin smooth and silky immediately after use but it also smells just gorgeous.

What was really great, is that my mama and a friend of mine have noticed a difference in my skin (which has never happened before) since I started using the serum - again only 6 days ago! They noticed that my skin had a healthy glow (even under my make-up) - which was so nice to hear. :-)
It really is such a treat and I would definitely be using this from now on and recommending to my friends and family - my mam already has it on her next shopping list.
It is rare to find products that really 'do what they say on the tin' and Vichy's Idealia Life Serum certainly does that - definitly worth a try ladies, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Thank you so much for letting me take part in this trial MummyPages and Vichy - I am also a convert :-)

I was delighted to be chosen to take part in this trial for Vichy Idealia Life Serum. I lead a busy life where I travel to and from work daily and my job is pretty stressful. I don’t smoke but I am often exposed to smoke and pollution. Needless to say, this has an effect on the condition of my skin and I always welcome any product that may help. I really don’t want my skin to look as tired, weary and stressed as I often feel. I would usually moisturize at least twice a day. My skin type is fair, sensitive and rather dry and I am constantly searching for the most innovative and best new skin product to help me looking as fresh and young as possible.

I have heard of Vichy before and have used a few items from their product range. I frequently use the Dermablend Corrective Foundation which is great. I find that it is suitable for use on a daily basis as it gives me a natural look for the office and covers all my many imperfections! During the lovely hot summer we had this year, I loved using the Vichy Thermal Spa water - perfect for those hot sticky days - cool, refreshing and light. It was a perfect solution for hydrating and soothing my skin. Another one of my favourite Vichy products is the 48 hour soothing anti-perspirant for sensitive skin. It suits me as it’s not too harsh and I find it effective and long lasting. Any of the Vichy products I have tried I have liked and used again.

I lead a busy working life so this has a huge impact on my skin: I notice that crowded buses/luas, city streets and general pollution from the daily commute is harmful, air conditioning in the office dries out my skin and all the heating at home is no good for me either so I find it hard to maintain my complexion and that certainly irritates me.

I was impressed with this product. It was easy to apply and I liked the way it left my skin feeling afterwards. It was gentle and refreshing and I felt ready to face the day. My skin tone felt more even, visibly brighter, fresher and more illuminated. I also felt that I was shielding my skin from harmful exposure. After using it for just a few days, I noticed that my skin had loosened slightly and was less tense, more relaxed and rested. It really transformed the appearance of my skin. I would definitely agree with other users on this point and I do intend to buy it again, if the price is right!

I need to present to people on a daily basis so it’s important for me that I look the best that I can. I am very self-conscious about my skin as I suffered from acne for many years. While I no longer have acne, I am constantly aware of the need to maintain and care for my skin. I also feel more confident and happier when my skin looks and feels good. I was very happy with the results of this product and I was very glad I was chosen to take part in the trial.

All my sisters would similar skin/beauty concerns that I have so I will certainly highly recommend this product. We frequently discuss the best products we are using and exchange tips and tricks of the trade! I will continue to use the product myself if it is not too expensive. I know there is a lot of competition out there with regard to skin care products so I always seek to balance cost versus value, as do most people I think. I like to try a range of beauty or skin products before I settle on one particular brand. Having said that, I don’t have any complaints with this at all so I will have to consider whether it will find a permanent home on my dressing table!

I was so delighted to be picked for this group. Great to get a treat for 'mum', and this is such a lovely treat! I don't normally wear much on my face during summer - only a bit of suncream really. However I find I really need to use something during the autumn/winter months. The Vichy Idealia Life Serum is a great product - super light feel and lovely scent. Comes in a fab little bottle which makes it feel even more like an indulgence. I had found my skin a bit dry after the summer sun exposure and this serum is lovely to put a bit of moisture back into it. It doesnt dry out as some other products do and leaves a great silky feel. As somone who is always out in the elements, this product will tick all the boxes for me. I would definitelty recommend it to a friend.

Can I start by saying thank you for choosing me to test this amazing product I love it so much. I can see and feel a huge difference in my skin after 1 week. My skin is very oily and mostly all the time there is a shine on my face when I use foundation but after applying the serum before I apply my foundation there is no shine, it is brilliant I am so happy and confident knowing my face doesn’t have a wet look about it.
The only products I use on my face is Pears Soap and I only moisturise at night time which I use Vichy Normaderm Nuit so I was so excited to use the Serum in the morning.
After applying for three days I have noticed a reduction in the dark circles under my eyes (I’m a housewife and a full time mum of two under 7 but who doesn’t have them anyway?) which I am really pleased about.
My skin is open to the elements everyday as I walk often and my pores tend to be open and are always clogged which leads to black heads but after using I can see that my pores have reduced in size and I have less black heads. Vichy’s Idealia Life Serum is very pleasant to use and has the trademark Vichy smell (which I like) if you hold the serum itself up to the light it shines. It smells as good as it feels. I love the metallic pink through the serum its real girly.

With oily skin I rarely find a product that actually works as most products cause my skin to break out as they are too harsh but this product doesn’t cause breakouts.
I have noticed my skin is softer and looks brighter without the help of foundation.
My skin feels and looks great despite the pollutants and the other stresses and strains in life .
I will continue to use Vichy Idealia Life Serum in the future and will be recommending to a friend.

I’m a big Vichy fan so when I was accepted for this trial I was thrilled.
I’m a busy mum of two and I work full time, so like a lot of my counterparts I don’t always get my full 8 hours sleep and my diet is influenced by easiness rather than goodness. I do occasionally suffer from acne and I use the Vichy Normaderm Purifying Cleansing Gel and Normaderm Hydrating Care every day and the Normaderm Hyaluspot when I have a breakout. My skin is can be dry and the air conditioning at work doesn’t do it any favours.
I received my pack on Friday afternoon so I started on Saturday morning.
As a result of my sensitive skin I don’t wear make up every day but I had a busy weekend and wore make up three days in a row (which is highly unusual for me) I would love to say I take my make up off every night, but sadly I don’t and I normally suffer the consequences for about a week after.
As soon as I applied the serum I loved the texture and feel of the product on my skin so I didn’t use my usual moisturiser. On Sunday morning after a night out and not a lot of sleep I was surprised by how fresh my skin looked. I’m quite conscious of dark circles under my eyes but I didn’t need concealer with my foundation, and that was after 1 day. I also never suffered the anticipated breakout from the make up wearing.
The serum itself is so easy to use. One pump of the bottle gives just enough serum, the texture is light, considering how moisturising it is, and I loved the luminous tint and that there was no overpowering scent.
After six days I have noticed a definite change in my skin, its no longer dull and washed out looking, but fresh, soft and glowing even first thing in the morning. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely continue to use the serum as part of my daily routine and I’ve already been recommending it to friends, family and work colleagues.
I’ve really enjoyed this trail and I’m delighted with another fab Vichy product. :)

I was delighted to be chosen as one of the testers of Vichy Idealia Life Serum. Really made a big difference on my face and neck. I got the serum last week, 3 days before my son arrived it was really stressful for me sleepless nights and sore cramps and the excitement for the coming baby. And yet the Vichy Idealia Life Serum was really effective my skin is glowing, my sister-in-law visited me the next day after the delivery of my son and she noticed i dont looked tired or haggard after giving birth. Thanks to Vichy Idealia Life Serum.
I know that Vichy products are a bit pricey compared to other products but hey its all worth it. My birthday will be next month and will ask DH to buy me 2 bottles of Vichy Idealia Life Serum as back ups. My skin has never been good since using this product, i highly recommend it. Thanks again Vichy!

I was really excited to be part of the Vichy Idealia Life Serum trial... I was introduced to Vichy about 2 years ago and like the product. I currently use the Normaderm Anti Age range including the Hyaluspot and the Aqualia Thermal for night use.

I have been doing quite a lot of outdoor work and I can see the effect it has had on my skin even though I've used a sunblock - I guess getting older has that effect:-)...
Firstly the bottle is a really lovely design and color... The serum is lovely and light, it feels great on my skin and I like the smell and feel of it. When I received the serum on the Friday morning I immediately used it as I had just come out of the shower, there was a definite difference in the look and feel of my face and neck.

There has definitely been a change since using the Idealia Life Serum and I will go back to the consultant at the pharmacy where I purchase my Vichy products and see what changes she would recommend I make in my daily routine.
I will definitely recommend Vichy Idealia Life Serum, getting older one needs all the help one can get that doesn't involve surgery.

Thanks Vichy for the lovely product and MummyPages for giving me the opportunity to be part of the trial.

I was thrilled to be asked to take part in this trial for mummypages. I have never used vichy products before but have always heard great things about them from friends and family. I decided to use the cream on a specific area of my skin that was giving me trouble to see if it really worked. The area around my chin, kneck and chest has always been problematic for me as i have always suffered breakouts in these areas plus i had sun damage on my chest area which was starting to become more noticable with lines and dryness. When i first started using the serum i thought the fragrance was quite strong but after it been on the skin for a little while i noticed the scent diminished. The serum was very absorbant and i found that a little went a long way which is definitely a bonus. After using the serum for 3 days i began to notice the dryness in the above mentioned areas had started to recede and the skin on my chest in particular felt plumper plus there wasnt as many lines first thing in the morning ! The skin on chin and kneck also started to improve and i didnt seem to be as oily as i normally would be my makeup definitely looked better and i had a few people ask me if i had changed foundation as my skin looked so good. After using the serum for the full eight days i would definitely reccomend it and will continue to use it myself as the benefits are really fantastic. Thank you mummypages and Vichy for allowing me to try this cream it has really boosted my self esteem !

Firstly, it was lovely to be chosen as a trial mummy - thanks guys! Secondly, what a great product to trial! Vichy's Idealia Life Serum is worth it's weight in gold! I found the serum pleasantly scented, it absorbed easily and quickly into my skin and I certainly began to see a difference in my skin after three days!Now I hear you say "are these women being paid to say this" and "is some guy sitting in an office writing all these reviews" But I kid you not this stuff really works.I'm a mother of two young children, I work full time and yes I am stressed, tired and worn out! This cream has give my skin a fantastically healthy glow and has got it back into such good condition I feel at least 5 years younger! Also, I would have quite large pores on my cheeks... This cream definitely reduced their appearance. I would definitely recommend this product to all women of all ages not just those who feel their skin lacks luster. I am delighted with the results so far and look forward to continue using Idealia Life Serum. Good job Vichy... I will be looking at your other products in future!

After a long summer of sun, BBQs and Wine, my skin was a mess. My skin was so dull and dry around the jawline. I wear makeup every day which really takes its toll on my skin. I also had really dark circles under my eyes which I use an abnormal amount of concealer on! Then I got sent a bottle of this miracle stuff & my skin has never looked better!
I started using the Idealia Life Serum on 7th September. It has a light texture and absorbs very easily. the scent is light and disappears a moment after you put the cream on (which I like) After about 5 days I noticed the dry skin starting to improve. On day 6 a neighbour told me my skin looked clear and glowing(!). On Day 8 I noticed my pores were less noticeable and my T-Zone (normally an oily disaster at 3pm every day) was shine free.
The biggest improvement I have noticed on my face is the almost complete disappearance of the dark circles under my eyes. The area where is used to be a dark red/purple colour is now the same colour as the rest of my skin!! I still have wrinkles - It's not a complete miracle cream - but it's not far off it!!!
I have used the Vichy Lift Activ Serum and Night Cream before which I loved but the Idealia products will be replacing them on my shopping list!
I will of course be recommending this Vichy product to my friends and family. (Or they will be getting it as a Christmas present!!!)

Firstly can I thank Mummypages for letting me take part in this trial! It was such a delight to be chosen, I was watching out for the postman everyday until it arrived
I have been using it for nearly two weeks and I have definitely found a difference in my skin. I always cleanse, tone and moisturise, but my moisturiser varies. I do believe that this will be one of my firm favourites from now on.
The product itself comes in a super little pump bottle, very handy for me as I have arthritis in my hands. Also you don't have to worry about putting germs into the container which I love. Lastly its a very snug size and very handy to throw in your handbag if you were going away over night.
The serum goes on so easily. I am a mum of a little toddler and am shamed to say that some mornings it is just hectic trying to get out of the house and if anything is not done, it could be my moisturiser! But I found this a dream, you can literally apply it in seconds, no rubbing in of heavy cream as it slides on easily. The small is beautiful also.
I do believe my skin had a healthy "glow" with it on. I have worn it both on its own (mostly) and with foundation. My foundation went on lovely with it underneath but I will admit I still did get a "shine" as the day progressed. I do have oily skin in areas so this is probably no fault of the product. It says you can use a primer along with it so I will try that.
I suffer from dry patches too and they are honestly all gone! It really had its work cut out as I had a cold in the middle of it and the dry/flaking skin on my nose from blowing it all day that I usually get was kept lovely and supple this time

Overall would highly recommend. A fantastic little product and well worth the treat mums! Thank you again for letting me take part in the trial

Thank you so much for picking me for this trial.i have to confess im not one for a daily face routine,usually just a bit of E45 now and again.i have heard of the Vichy brand but never used any of them.i found the Vicy Life Serum amazing.my skin was a bit dull looking, but after 3 days i could notice and feel the difference.my skin felt softer and looked a lot brighter.The serum was easy to apply, handy small pump small enough to put in my handbag.Its not greasy and had a lovely smell off it.people have commented on how good my skin looks, i will continue to use this and will be buying more when it runs out.ive recommended it to all my friends and family.
