I think I’ve found my new go-to brand! Vichy Laboratories puts so much science and research into their products to ensure that their products are simply the best in the industry. It truly shows in their products, and judging by the response I received to the Vichy BB cream giveaway, it’s a favourite amongst our readers!
Now, I am OBSESSED with moisturization. All year round, I am very anal and critical about the products that go on my face and the moisturization benefits they provide. As I’ve stated before, I routinely use night cream as day cream just because of the rich moisture qualities night cream provides. And anyone who ever stops by my desk at work, or in my room, can view the vast number of hand creams that adorn them both!
With the harsh winter months fast approaching, I was actually looking for a new moisturizer that could help combat the harsh winter effects. Luckily, I’ve found it!

Product: Vichy Aqualia Thermal Daily Care Moisturizer
Price: $35.00 (CAN)
Available: At all Canadian pharmacies and drugstores
What It Claims: “…will hydrate the skin with hyaluronic acid, protect it from dry winter air, keeps moisture in, strengthen the natural function of the skin…”
Review: I’ve traded in my daily use of night cream for this wonderful product. The cream is so rich, I don’t know if I can even properly describe it! It’s so thick and it applies like a dream – it’s so rich and plentiful, you won’t need a whole lot to drench your skin. That being said, the product itself isn’t heavy. It doesn’t sit on your skin, it absorbs instantly and smoothly.

The bottle is tinier than some of the other moisturizing jars, but I think it’s well worth the price. It stays on my skin, and it even lasted during some of Toronto’s windiest and coldest days so far! I only have to apply after showering and after cleansing my skin at the end of the day. It’s just as perfect as a night cream. Luckily enough, the product doesn’t cause any harsh reactions, it’s just as good for sensitive skin. Sometimes, the richness of moisturizers can cause breakouts, as they don’t allow the skin to breathe. Complete opposite here.
Verdict: I do adore it, but I can see the price being one of the major drawbacks of purchase. Sometimes it is easier to pick up the $7.99 Neutrogena cream, but I will restate that this cream is amazing! The benefits to this cream are amazing. And with a brand like Vichy, you can’t deny the quality.
