  Swatches & My opinion about the Vichy 3 in 1 Product

The consistency of the product is creamy with tiny grits. It has a gritty consistency to behave as a scrub, 25% clay elements to act as a mask and a foaming sensation when applied with water as a simple cleanser. 
The formula feels thick and grainy, without any irritation on my super sensitive skin.  It has a gentle smell when applied which soon fades away on application….Nothing overpowering either…
I’ve been testing the product for around a month to fully experiment and see the claims of  three elements to the product. 

This product did certainly impressed me as a cleanser, I’ve been using more than a pea sized amount smoothed over my face with added water once a day every day and not only does it smooth skin beautifully and remove dead skin cells, it has gradually reduced the oiliness of my skin and even reduced some of the newest acne scars and minor blemishes..- it’s even diminished stubborn blackheads. I noticed my friends saying about my clearer looking skin..All kudos to this wonderful product….
I have however heard mixed reviews about this product, I personally felt this product did good to me….


As a scrub I use the same amount but scrub it against my skin in circular motions( especially around my nose, forehead, cheeks ) rather than gently smoothing it over, I wash the formula away to reveal beautifully soft, supple, replenished skin. The scrub is not very rough on skin, its somewhat mild…I didn’t notice any reddening of skin after using this… 

As a mask experience,  I squeezed out a walnut sized amount over my skin and leave it  for around 3-4 minutes before washing away with warm water and my tiny body shop brush (it washes away the particles with ease and leaves skin smooth and soft which is a pleasure). Although after using the product as a mask my skin is smoothed, cleansed and bright, I find the mask dries out my skin to some extend…. Usage of moisturizer immediately after drying the face is a must…
I find the mask element of the 3 in 1 product more of glow to skin than a relaxed mask experience.
I recommend to use this product regularly as a cleanser and scrub to see yourself brilliant results in no time….

Another alternative to this product which I noticed is Nivea 3 in 1….
I will review it soon…
