Product Spotlight: Vichy Minéral 89 Serum

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VICHY

What It Is & How It Works…

Often described as a ‘big glass of water for your skin’, this is the only hyaluronic acid serum recognised by The British Skin Foundation. Low on the ingredient count (there are only 11 listed, all of which have been approved by dermatologists), its simplicity allows for a gentler approach – just one of the reasons it’s so popular. Around 89% mineral-rich thermal water is mixed with an added hyaluronic acid – a molecule that can hold 1,000 times its weight in water to boost your skin’s natural moisture levels. The result? Plumper skin – from the inside out – as well as a stronger skin barrier to protect against environmental aggressors like pollution. Meanwhile, glycerin also draws moisture into the skin and keeps it there – so it’s no surprise to hear it often referred to as a ‘hydrating powerhouse.’ 

Why Beauty Insiders Love It…

A favourite among skincare experts, dermatologists and beauty editors, it’s a serum that truly lives up to the hype – proven by the fact it’s a frequent award-winner. “Vichy Mineral 89 is so popular because of its incredible hydrating effects leaving skin looking plumper and feeling smoother," explains Dr Mary Sommerland, Vichy UK Ambassador. One of the best hydrating serums on the market, it’s well tolerated by all skin types and immediately gives the appearance of a plumper, smoother, more radiant-looking complexion. It’s lightweight texture also sits brilliantly under any SPF, creams or make-up, and makes it suitable for anyone who suffers  with breakouts, but who still want to maintain hydration. Being non-comedogenic, it won’t clog up your pores or feel suffocating on the skin. On the contrary, expect skin to feel soothed and relieved as soon as you apply it – the cooling gel only adds to the satisfaction.
