Vichy’s LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10

A new skin from first drop

LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10

WRINKLES – LIFTING EFFECT – INSTANT RADIANCE

Skin Regeneration takes a whole new level

Vichy Laboratories takes anti-ageing skincare to newer heights with Vichy LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10! A revolutionary anti-ageing serum that transforms your skin right from the first drop making it look fresh and rejuvenated like never before. The Serum is an addition to the LiftActiv Dermsource Range- the anti-aging revolution, infused with Rhamnose, a plant sugar extract known for its soothing properties to gives you results that not only erase the signs of ageing, but goes deep into the dermis to prevent it.

After screening more than 50 anti-aging molecules, Vichy laboratories identified very highly concentrated Rhamnose as the most powerful agent capable of specifically targeting the Papillary Dermis and reactivating its activity thereby rejuvenating the skin at its source. Rhamnose is also perfectly tolerated by sensitive skin, making it a unique cosmetic ingredient for reconciling anti-aging super-powers and optimal tolerability, at last. The Serum has a unique and radically different formula after 180 formulation tests to bring out an exceptional feel, entirely dedicated to the highest possible concentration of Rhamnose. Thus, bringing revolution with simplicity, reinventing anti-aging care and multiplying lesser doses of active ingredients and increasing efficacy.

As we age, our skin degenerates making it look dull. With 10 years of research, Vichy Laboratoires has specially formulated the Serum to address the root causes of skin degeneration. It has discovered the power of the Papillary Dermis: the unique and sensitive cells of this dermal layer can single-handedly control regeneration of the whole skin. Therefore The LiftActiv Dermsource Serum 10 acts as a youth catalyst for the entire skin with targeted effects to boost every aspect of skin regeneration making it look radiant and youthful.

With the new LiftActiv Serum 10 , Vichy delivers a new dimension of performance, giving you fully transformed skin; replenished, velvety smooth and luminous. So push back the limits of anti-aging care, with reinforced anti-wrinkle and firming efficacy for a long-lasting lifting effect. The LiftActiv Dermsource Serum 10 active ingredients are Rhamnose flanked by just two other equally powerful yet skin-respecting active ingredients: high-dose 0.4% hyaluronic acid and naturally regenerating, invigorating and soothing Vichy Thermal Spa Water. It is hypoallergenic, Tested under dermatological control and Paraben free.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum Review

What the Company claims: A product that will get rid of the source of growing problems of skin darkening, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, dryness, roughness and dullness of the skin due to overexposure and ageing.

The new fortified complex in the Neutrogena® Fine Fairness® Brightening Serum in synergy with Neutrogena® Healthywhite Complex™- a white lily extract and Retinol, works from the inside out, simultaneously targeting all three elements of tone, texture and hydration to bring out lasting healthy fairness. The naturally derived White Lily extract enhances whitening from within. In addition, it effectively promotes lightening of dark spots via the effective action of Retinol in the epidermis. Double your skin’s whitening power for even-toned lasting healthy fairness. This breakthrough high penetrating formula penetrates beneath the skin surface and helps deactivate melanin production at the source for a renewed visibly brightened skin tone.

Directions: Use 1-2 times a day after cleansing. Lightly massage in to boost penetration. Close pump after each use. (It oxidizes if left open)

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 599/- for 30ml

Its a white colored bottle with a silver top and a plastic cap. Its a pump dispensor..so quite easy to use..you need just 1 pump..or max two pumps for the entire face..but since it has retinol..many do not use it all over the face..just on dark spots or problem areas. I like using serums..some how they work better and deeper for me..than just moisturisers..

Its a light yellow colored liquid..if you have used a serum..you would know the texture..not exactly like a lotion nor like a gel..some where in between..has a sweet smell similar to all Neutrogena products..I just pat it on..and restrict it to use at night..since it has retinol..which makes the skin sensitive..if you use it at day time..make sure you use a high SPF sunscreen..

You might experience some itching for a few minutes after application coz of the retinol..do not fret..some even experienced peeling of the skin in the first week..but skin was brighter and better the next week..depends on how your skin reacts to retinol..do a test patch first if you like..

Pros:

1. Does lighten dark spots and makes the skin more even toned..but not an overnight effect..takes 2-3 weeks for the difference to show up. But if you are suffering from dark spots, you should surely give this a try.

2. Skin is more brightened when used all over..I have used it both ways..but I prefer using it on dark spots more..as I do not want to use retinol all over.

3. Non comedogenic and oil free.

4. Did not break me out..but there is some itching for a few minutes.

5. It does what it claims.

6. The quantity lasts long.

Cons:

1. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.

2. May not suit sensitive and dry skin.

3. Skin does need added moisturisation.

Overall I did like it..and the brightening effect it gives to the skin. I did not have many dark spots..but it makes the skin more even toned..if you suffer from dark spots..this might help. But I do not recommend it for dry or sensitive skin.

Squalane is a healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish.

Ingredients:

MRP: 1.0 fl. oz Bottle(30 ml)- $43.00 (Rs. 2750/- here)

1.7 fl. oz Bottle- $68.00

It has this dark blue packaging with a black dipper cap. The dipper helps you get the exact quantity..i.e 2-3 drops of it. I quite liked the packaging..the only thing is since its glass it needs to be handled with care..though the glass is quite thick to break just like that.

The main ingredient being evening primrose oil and lavender oil..it has a wonderful smell..which even helps you sleep better..you just need 2-3 drops of it..and so it lasts real real long.

I am using it from the last 3 weeks and its still almost full. I love the lavender smell..its quite soothing. It does make the skin appear healthier and plumper the next day. Even though its a serum and has oils in it..the texture is not sticky or oily..and gets instantly absorbed into the skin. If you have had a stressful or tired skin of late and need to attend an important event…this thing would help you for sure !

Pros:

1. Quite like the ingredients.
2. Does make the skin more radiant, even toned, healthier and plumper.
3. It even helps in drying out your acne and heal them faster.
4. Though its expensive, it lasts real long as you just need 2-3 drops of it.
5. I liked the packaging…there is no scope of any wastage whatsoever.
6. Naturally derived and paraben, fragrance and mineral oil free.
7. Does what it claims.
8. Would help replenish tired skin.

Cons:

1. Has to be stored well..away from light and handled with care.

No other cons as such..I would surely recommend it..in fact it has been recommended by 93% of people on their site too. I would suggest you to try this..especially if you are a bride to be. And I found it much better than the Lancome Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate which is priced almost double and did not do anything for my skin at all.

Would I buy it again: Yes..I love its effect on skin..and a little luxury is what our skin needs at times..
