Promises of the producer: The feeding balm increasing skin density for very dry and age skin.
It seems that means which are marked as "Balm" (balm) - it is possible to call products of 2015. This year the whole generation of the new looking after means is let out: the skin balms tinting lip balms, oils-balms and so forth.
At cosmetologists the authority has the word Balm, it means that means not just looks after, but still has to treat, solve some problem. Age skin just needs such product.
We read the label
Magnificent structure! High on the list – only very useful ingredients! And it means that they are available in quite impressive concentration that promises good effect of cream. You judge:
- A combination from at once several oils: shea butter, oil of rice bran, saflorovy oil
- The good moistening components: dimetikon (silicone), glycerin.
- The cleaning agents: salicylic acid, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (the safe cleaning ingredient), extract of seeds Aconitifolia.
Plus of Vichy promises three views an omega of fatty acids – 3, 6 and 9. These acids are available as a part of the listed oils. And yes rice bran all three types of acids contain shea butter (Oleic acid is an omega 9, linoleic acid - the Omega 6, & #945; - linolenic - an omega-3).
It is a little more about oils. Shea butter – known for experts on cosmetics, has the exclusive moistening and anti-inflammatory properties. Saflorovoye – knows slightly less, but nevertheless he can be met in some cosmetics too. And here, rice interested me. And here what became clear.
This oil is received from a rice peel – an outer brown sheath of rice. In Japan, India and China it is sometimes used as oil for frying. And in the cosmetic purposes wax of rice bran is applied. As a part of oil of rice bran – the whole combination of vitamins and antioxidants. But in Japan it is appreciated for application in the period of a menopause. There is a research of the Japanese scientists who proved that regular use of this oil inside and outwardly reduces climax symptoms, such as inflows (is more detailed about it in Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_bran_oil).
In general, as for fight against signs of aging, I personally trust all Asian secrets and receptions, and existence of some typically Asian components (oil of rice bran, soy protein) in structure causes in me personally respect.
Feelings
I apply with fingers, after that on them some feeling of stickiness. But it does not confuse, in cream the big set of oils and substances created on the basis of vegetable oils.
The aroma of the cream – invigorating with a citrus and the refreshing notes. But the loop is more powdery. On skin the smell disappears, on hands there is very easy and almost inaudible powdery and aquatic loop. It is pleasant that Vichy was succeeded to get rid of a strong smell of oils and the more so an omega of fatty acids, they have not really habitual, more kitchen smell which is not associated with cosmetic.
The texture is cream, but some differences from usual creams are available. That is, balm a little more dense, the easiest to distribute it on skin the finger-tips which are driving in with movements. It is impossible to smooth because means is strongly linked to skin and can shift it if to distribute massage movements. Therefore – only to drive in just as we apply serums.
On the surface of skin some stickiness is formed, that is the product does not get completely and is not dissolved. When from above did not do a make-up and went only with this balm on a face, the whole day at a prikasaniye to face skin is felt availability of balm. Possibly, it is necessary to provide to skin that, the effect promised, condensing skin.
Externally it is not so noticeable though there are new feelings. After the first application of consolidation of skin it is not so visible, but here, after week there is an effect. Skin seems to more elastic. Wrinkles are a little inflated from within, are not so brightly expressed. There is a feeling of the moisturized skin, and it keeps long enough, almost all day.
Action
To me 40+. But I do not think that this means early to use. I apply week. And results are. Balm is necessary. Skin is highlighted every day, looks healthier and not tired.
I do not recommend to put in proximity from eyes, at me eyes when balm got under eyes watered a little.
Balm can precisely be trusted! Both the structure, and the first feelings, and the first results convince of it. Most likely, it will be estimated by women with age skin. By the way, this novelty is accompanied by other product – serum with a concentrate of the restoring oils. In its structure – the same combination from three oils and three acids. Vichy considers that it is better to use these two means (balm and serum) in a complex, for the best result.
