What’s good about it?
Healing properties. When I burnt my skin with Tee tree essential oil, this product was a miracle worker. It peeled off the burns without leaving a scar. Basically the burn slid right off my face. Also it healed pretty quickly. It is very easy to use. The packaging is great and looks good for the price. This mineral water gel based formula can be used as a great moisturizer for dry skin. It really keeps your skin moisture up all day. Your skin just has a nice plump, well moisture look afterwards. For how good the product worked, the price is not too bad at all. Because it is water based and oil free, it works on all skin types.

| In February, when I had the worst break out of my life. Tried to treat it with Tea tree essential oil and I burnt my skin. Applied the Vichy Gel twice a day, and it cleared up without leaving a mark. |
What’s not so good about it? It takes a while for it to absorb into my skin. So I have to wait a few minutes more than usual, before I can apply makeup on my face. But besides this, the product is awesome.
Would I purchase/repurchase?
Yes I will. I might not use this everyday, but its definitely something to have in my skincare cabinet incase of emergency like a burn, irritation, or even in the winter when my skin is extra dry and needs a picker upper.
Do you need it?
Skin needs moisture to not be dehydrated; the hyaluronic acid in it is an essential. It also gives a very nice dewy look. If you have super dry skin, or irritated skin, this miracle mineral water gel product is best for you to use daily. You see results or a big difference in a matter of days.
