Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream Review

Our verdict

Thirsty skin loves this rich moisturizing cream enriched with Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water and Hyaluronic Acid.

One month with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream

After our morning and nightly cleansing, we layer a pea-size coat of moisturizer all over the face.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream Moisturizer is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid (Its molecules reportedly hold 1,000 times their weight in water) that locks in water based-moisture to plump out your skin and prevent water loss. The formula also features Aquabioryl, known to replenish the skin with hydration and form a protective film.

Like all the products in this Aqualia Thermal range, this moisturizer is infused with fortifying Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water, a mineral-rich ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier against environmental aggressors and restores skin’s natural, youthful complexion.

This rich cream is enriched with Shea Butter to strengthen your skin’s surface layer and support your skin’s round-the-clock hydration. Shea Butter can be quite comedogenic – causing blocked pores and breakouts. For this reason, if you’re prone to breakouts or have oily skin, it is recommended to go for the lighter version.

The advanced Dynamic Hydration technology helps distribute moisture evenly on the face and lock water in all facial zones.

We love how this innovative moisturizer effortlessly melts into the face and neck, leaving a velvety soft finish. Skin feels like enveloped in a veil of hydration that lasts all day – and then some.

For the jet-setters, this moisturizer is the get-off-the-plane-and-go-straight-to-work kind of moisturizer.

Note: You won’t resist the urge to take some selfies when you realize your skin suddenly glows more than your highlighter palette.

How to use Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream?

Apply moisturizer over cleansed and toned face and neck in the morning and evening after serum if you use one. Spread with outward movements from the middle of the face. Best preceded by Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Serum.
