VICHY MINÉRAL 89 BOOSTER

Vichy is a French city where in 1931. Dr. Haller, a physician in the center of thermic treatments, discovered salutary effects of thermal water on skin and founded now a world renowned company that share its name with the town. This extraordinary and remarkable water emerges during slow passing through crystal depths of Auvergne volcano, altering and replenishing with precious minerals before it springs to the surface pure and naturally beneficial. It's enriched by a singular blend of more than 15 therapeutic minerals and antioxidants such as iron, potassium, calcium, manganes, silicon etc. and it's recognized for its exceptional capacities of soothing, strengthening and improving skin quality, alleviating of sensitivity, accelerating wound healing and skin renewal. Convinced that skin health is the true source of beauty, Dr. Haller has pioneered the dermocosmetic line propelled by this mineral water. Nowadays known as Vichy Thermal Spa Water, it still stems from the same place in France and remains at the heart of all Vichy skin care preparations.

A sterling visionary, Dr. Haller believed that skin care demands medical seriousness because the skin as a vital organ requires scientific approach, which at the time was revolutionary and unprecedented theory. Motivated by his persuasion, he meticulously studied the skin, identified particular „types“ and created the original Vichy Secrets, the first range of products customized for treatments of each characteristic type. The formulas have been developed under strict, yet unseen guidelines in cosmetic industry. They include clinical evidence of efficacy, tolerance and implementation of progress in skin physiology, along with testing of new active ingredients which are being used currently.

Intensive examination of women of all nationalities, age and skin types revealed how genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutrition and other lifestyle aspects affects the skin prospect, so the collaboration with physicians, dermatologists, gynecologists and nutritionists led to comprehension and understanding of female skin in every stage of life. Vichy is proud of the amalgam of natural earth's resources and innovative global researh in devising its products, which they're dedicated to for the last 80 years, as well as composition of preparations that under the slogan „health is beautiful“ provides perfect skin in all life phases.

Pollution, lack of sleep, smoking, tension, uneven diet and cold among other things causes irregularities, aging, skin susceptibility, loss of glow, puffiness, eyebags, dryness, oily gloss, redness and unbalanced texture, and they served as the basic stimulus for formulating Vichy Minéral 89 Booster. As you're aware, facial skin is due to insufficient fatty accumulation is extremely thin and therefore considerably more prone to parchedness and showing preliminary signs of aging. This especially regards to the area under the eyes, which is the most sensitive part of the face.

For the first time in the concentration of 89%, the unique combination of Vichy mineralized thermal water is associated with glycerine and hyaluronic acid of natural origin, producing Minéral 89 with only 11 constituents and without parabens, odors and dyes. It invigorates the barrier function of the skin, which is by the day increasingly stronger in fighting against internal and external harmful effects like pollution, stress and fatigue, while the skin is hydrated, better toned, brighter, plumper and radiant. It's suitable for all skin types and assumes the primary step in daily morning care ritual, and can be employed under the eyes too, which is rare because there are eye serums and creams specifically preconceived for that section. The official site displays the results of clinical trials under dermatological supervision in which 81% of respondents stated their skin momentarily seems healthier, while 85% immediately noticed sleeker complexion, and after one month 94% observed luminosity, 87% salubrious shine and 83% fuller look. Also, it's cited that the effectiveness and health have been clinically proven by dermatologists, and the outcome sfter a month usage is 21% firmer and 20% smoother skin, 26% sounder luster and 20% balanced pigmentation.

Personally I'm always delighted with the arrival of new products on the market and I enjoy to try them and test their efficiency. Vichy Minéral 89 Booster combats the same damage as Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sensitive serum, with the latter being designed for nightly routine so I wanted to combine them and check their impact. Minéral 89 comes in a 50 ml glass bottle with a pump for optimal dosage on top, and I usually exercise two squeezes: one for face and one for neck and cleavage. The texture is completely transparent, but significantly denser than serum – I'd describe it as lightweight and fresh gelly water. It easily glides and coats across the face and throughout the entire day I don't get the impression of having anything on it. It's odorless and I apply it together with Clinique Moisture Surge 72-hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator daily cream. 

On the first day I felt that my skin is napless and fraught upon touch, after a week even more, with a healthy natural splendor that is highly important to me, while one month utilization procured extensive hydration and softness so I decided to incorporate it as a permanent and unavoidable feature of daily facial care process, because in my case it absolutely delivers and achieves all the promised objectives.
