Skin Care Review: Vichy reti-c

by Richelle Takemoto, Phialdelphia, PA USA

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
They market the benefits as anti-wrinkle and promoting radiant skin.

Drawbacks
The retinol causes itchiness, redness, tiny maculopapular rash, and peeling.

Details
The product said promised "radiant skin in 15 days", but before you can have radiant skin, this product causes your skin to peel and itch. My skin felt like I just got a sun burn, I have been using sunscreen every day because the retinol makes your skin very photosensitive. It is very irritating to the skin.It is not to be used as your primary moisturizer because it is not soothing at all. As far as the anti wrinkle benefits, I have nopt seen any yet. My face feels inflamed, not radiant as the product promised.

Conclusions
Do not buy if you have sensitive skin.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$29

Where to find it
