Vichy deodorants: features, types and applications

French cosmetics has always been very popular. Vichy antiperspirants are no exception. Let's consider in the article what is the peculiarity of deodorants from this brand, how to choose a remedy, and also get acquainted with the company's product line.

Customers' trust in the Vichy brand is justified by high quality products, which is not surprising. One of the cosmetics developers was Dr. Prosper Aller. In 1931, he met with businessman Georges Guerin. The result of this acquaintance was the emergence of thermal water.

Naturally, through the efforts of the doctor, she maximally met the needs of the skin. And thanks to the professionalism of the entrepreneur, she was able to quickly enter the market and attract the attention of consumers.

In those days, cosmetics were made individually, usually in pharmacies. It is clear that with this approach, the quality of the product depended on one particular pharmacist. Well, if a woman did not have money to pay for his services, she had to do only home care.

Thanks to the tandem of the doctor and businessman, women who lived at the beginning of the 20th century were able to get high-quality cosmetic products in the mass market category. It was distinguished by its accessibility, ease of use and the result that the use of this cosmetics gave. The brand name is the name of the city that stands on the thermal springs.

The uniqueness of the brand is also due to the fact that when developing cosmetics, the guideline was scientific research. In fact, this made the brand progressive and popular.It is the connection between science and medicine that now helps to “move” this brand.

The second “whale”, on which the manufacturer’s popularity stands, can be considered a close relationship with cosmetics buyers. The brand is not only interested in user reviews, but conducts large-scale research, analyzes how the new product affects the skin condition of women of different ages, with different skin types.

The brand's anti-sweat line is quite wide. Here you can find deodorants for different skin types and situations. The difference in product properties is due to small differences in their composition. Individual elements of the composition introduce certain properties into the product.

In general, the standard composition looks like this:

• perlite (represents a mineral, acts as a sorbent);
• water (purified or mineral);
• unique chemical complexes, in particular, aluminum chloride (necessary to reduce sweating, affect sweat glands);
• natural oils and extracts of plants (they have a deodorizing effect, soften, nourish, cool, give a feeling of freshness and coolness, give deodorants other additional properties);
• natural ingredients and fragrances (their task is to mask the smell of sweat).

Separately, it is worth mentioning about chemical complexes. As a rule, this phrase means metal salts. Their task is to narrow the sweat ducts, thereby helping to reduce sweating (even profuse, which occurs with pathological hyperhidrosis). This is a non-hazardous process, since the ducts are not completely blocked, but only narrowed. Unlike many manufacturers, Vichy does not use aluminum chloral hydrate, but aluminum chloride, which is considered safer.

The basis of all compounds is natural mineral perlite, which is a rock volcanic rock and used in medicine as a sorbent. It also uses high-quality, and in some deodorants, thermal water. This ensures the effectiveness and safety of deodorants. All of them have passed dermatological tests and are considered hypoallergenic.

Vichy antiperspirants perform a triple action:

• act on the sweat glands, narrowing them, thereby reducing sweating (including excessive sweating during hyperhidrosis);
• destroy pathogenic microorganisms that are the cause of the appearance of an unpleasant odor (and with active reproduction, they also provoke inflammation);

The love of customers for Vichy products can also be explained by the variety of forms of release of deodorants. Rulers include various anti-sweat products.

It is a bottle with a ball (which is why such deodorants are also called ball deodorants), with the help of which the product is distributed to the skin.

It has a pronounced antimicrobial effect, therefore, it saves from the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms, which cause the appearance of an unpleasant odor. Being antiperspirants, Vichy roller deodorants affect sweat glands, which means they significantly reduce the sweating process itself.

Unlike many analogues of other manufacturers, such a deodorant dries in less than a minute, leaving no residue on clothing (merit of dimethicone in the composition).

The bottle provides an economical flow of funds, does not flow. Ball products are suitable primarily for people with dry, sensitive, allergy-prone skin.

It is presented in spray cans. It provides reliable protection, easy to apply. The spray gives a large “coverage area” of the skin, but its consumption is less economical compared to the consumption of a ball-based product.

Dries instantly. It has a more pronounced smell than the aroma of a ball analog. However, the smell of Vichy deodorants is always unobtrusive, he does not "argue" with the main perfume.

In the line you can find 3 types of sprays - with action up to 12 hours, up to 48 hours, as well as a tool with a degree of protection for 48 hours and additional protection of your belongings from the appearance of yellow spots on clothes.

Deodorant in the form of a light cream with a delicate structure. It provides sweat protection for up to 7 days. Indications for use are primarily hyperhidrosis (pathological excessive sweating), as well as the need for a long trip or travel (for example, camping, a multi-day trip by car or train).

The tool is hypoallergenic. It can be used not only on the armpits, but also on the feet with sweating feet.

Vichy Roller Deodorants are represented by two main means.

Hypoallergenic product that (despite the presence of alcohol in the composition) does not dry the skin. The deodorant passed dermatological tests, has all the necessary certificates. It contains thermal water. Suitable for daily use, including with increased physical activity.

The tool is suitable for daily use, including for mild to moderate hyperhidrosis. Valid up to 48 hours. One of the advantages is effective against white and yellow spots, even on dark clothes.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the anti-stress roller. It provides intensive protection against sweat that occurs as a reaction of the body to stress. This is achieved by adding ultra-absorbing minerals to the Perspicalm complex and minerals. Hypoallergenic product without alcohol and parabens, based on thermal water. Suitable for application on the armpits and feet. Valid up to 72 hours, the effect increases with regular use.

For supersensitive skin in the Vichy line there is a special tool - a soothing deodorant for sensitive skin (a red cover distinguishes the design of this tool). Due to its delicate action, the product is suitable for use even immediately after depilation. In many ways, this is made possible thanks to the unique proprietary complex Proline Cutei. Anti-sweat deodorant effect - 48 hours.

Sprays include the male line (more on this below) and the female line:

• ultra-fresh deodorant spray with protection for 48 hours;
• 48-hour ultra-fresh deodorant spray that leaves no residue on clothing.

In general, the products are similar in their effect and composition, but the second deodorant will be more reliable if you plan to wear dark clothes or sweat a lot. The tool will prevent the appearance of spots on your outfits.

Cream products are represented by the only “7 days of protection” cream deodorant. The basic elements of the composition are perlite, natural extracts and thermal water. The product does not contain alcohols and parabens, hypoallergenic. It can be used as an external therapeutic agent in the complex treatment of hyperhidrosis.

For men, Vichy offers a specialized kit. The appearance of a separate series for men is due to the fact that the process of perspiration is stronger due to physiological characteristics. In addition, the process of reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms is also more active. That is, the smell of sweat is more pronounced.

To solve these problems, Vichy created special, men's line. At the same time, the concentration of alcohols and metal salts is not increased in it, since although this will give an effect, it will negatively affect the condition of the skin. All men's products were developed according to a special formula, so it gives intensive protection and demonstrates a careful attitude to the skin.

You can find out for men by marking Vichy Homme. These are ball deodorants and antiperspirant sprays with a duration of action of up to 48 hours and up to 72 hours (recommended for increased sweating).

All ball remedies have a volume of 50 ml, sprays - 125 ml, deodorant cream - 30 ml.

Deodorant is applied only to clean, dry skin. Sprays are sprayed at a distance of 15 cm from the body. It is important to avoid aerosols in the eyes and nose. If this happens, rinse the mucous membranes with clean running water.

After applying the ball spray, you need to wait 30-40 seconds to completely absorb the deodorant. After that, you can dress.

After depilation, it is better to wait a few hours before using a deodorant. If there is no time, it is better to apply the composition for hypersensitive skin.

Despite the fact that the instruction says about protection for 48 or 72 hours, it is advisable to wash the deodorant from the armpits every night before bedtime.

If the antiperspirant is applied to the feet, they must also be washed and dried thoroughly beforehand - ideally in a natural way. If there is no time for this, pat dry with a soft cotton cloth, a diaper folded in several layers of gauze.

In general, there are many people who mention the high cost of products. However, they immediately add that the quality of deodorants deserves this money.

A small life hack from user reviews - buying products on the manufacturer’s official website is cheaper than in online stores and even in Vichy branded boutiques. When ordering on the website, a discount program is provided, sample gifts are attached to the order.

Vichy antiperspirants receive a positive assessment from doctors. The latter note the safety and naturalness of the components of the composition. The only element that displeases doctors is aluminum. However, there is nothing to replace it in such products.

On the Internet you can find reviews of people with sensitive skin. They talk about the fact that they were recommended by the attending dermatologist to switch to a specialized Vichy deodorant. The use of a ball remedy for sensitive skin protects against sweat and does not cause problems and discomfort with the skin.
