Strengthen and hydrate your skin. Vichy knows that hydration makes the base of healthy, properly-functioning skin and that’s why the Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Booster has been made. Thanks to the unique ingredients, the serum reinforces the skin’s barrier and shields against the harmful effects of pollution, stress, tiredness, etc. Is the Vichy hyaluronic serum worth testing?

Vichy Minéral 89 Face Serum – ingredients & consistency
This rich formula abounds in hyaluronic acid (89%), minerals and thermal water. Too bad substances such as PEGs (PEG/PPG/polybutylene glycol) are included in the serum in large amounts as well. It may cause inflammation when used on sensitive skin. The Vichy Serum also contains thermal water which restores the natural resilience of the epidermis and hyaluronic acid which holds water in the skin, hydrates and plumps the skin. The product is free from aromas, silicones and alcohols so it’s a pity the manufacturer decided to put some controversial substances in the serum.
How to use the Vichy Minéral 89 Face Serum?
This serum can be used twice a day so use it in the morning and/or evening on the clean face as a first skin-care step – before a moisturizer. The manufacturer says that the serum can be used solo as well.
Vichy Minéral 89 Face Serum – effects
The serum gives the effect of fresh, moisturized skin. It makes it prettier and smoother, and that’s why it is a popular booster before big events. Unfortunately, the serum fails to improve the skin permanently – it merely works as an instant skin enhancer priming the face for make-up. If you like this effect, choose the Vichy Serum instead of silicone make-up primers.

Vichy Minéral 89 Face Serum – summary & opinions
The Vichy Serum gets quite good opinions because it leaves the skin fresh, smooth and moisturized right after the application. Sadly, this doesn’t mean long-lasting effect. The serum may actually cause the loss of water if you don’t secure the skin properly. Contrary to the manufacturer’s indications, you should pair it with a moisturizer. The Vichy Serum is also known for irritating the sensitive skin so you should only go for it if your skin is normal or oily.
