Numerous positive reviews of Vichy face cream after 30 years involuntarily inspire confidence and make you want to try the line of products from this brand.
Facial skin begins to undergo significant changes after 25 years. By the age of 30, the structure of the dermis is radically different from that of youth. A decrease in the production of hyaluron and changes in muscle tone lead to deformation of the oval of the face, impaired blood microcirculation and a decrease in the level of tissue nutrition.
Leading cosmetologists believe that after 30 years, using mass-market products is an unacceptable luxury. It is necessary to take care of your facial skin using higher quality creams. The skincare line from Vichy is just such a product.

What to look for when choosing
At 30 years old, the epidermis is still capable of coping with negative transformations on its own, it just needs a little help with this. It is not recommended to use aggressive products containing collagen or large amounts of hyaluronic acid. There is a risk of skin addiction. Moreover, the epidermis will stop directing efforts to produce elastane, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and other useful components, since they will come from the outside. This situation is fraught with early aging and a sharp deterioration in the condition of the skin when such cosmetics are discontinued. After 30, a cream should contain natural ingredients, not cause allergies, and smooth out wrinkles naturally.

Where to buy and how to choose Vichy products?
It is recommended to purchase Vichy creams in pharmacies or branded stores that cooperate with the manufacturer. When buying such products in dubious places, there is a risk of coming across a fake.
It is important to make sure that the cream does not contain components that can cause allergies. To do this, the buyer must know what substances he has an individual intolerance to.
Considering the price of Vichy products, it is better to buy them in places where preliminary testing is possible. This will allow you to make the right choice of anti-aging product.
What effect can you expect from an anti-aging eye cream?
The aging process of the skin on average begins at age 25, after which it gains momentum and leads to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging soft tissues. Everything in the human body is so interconnected that if a woman watches her weight, eats right and exercises regularly, then her skin can look young and toned for quite a long time. Addictions such as smoking, excessive drinking and unwise eating habits significantly worsen the condition of the skin, bringing closer the time when wrinkles and other signs of the times become visually noticeable to others.
Skin aging is an inevitable process of age-related changes in all layers of the dermis, accompanied by a slowdown in the synthesis of collagen and elastin and leading to the appearance of wrinkles, folds and gravitational ptosis (drooping).
The skin around the eyes, thin and devoid of subcutaneous fat, is especially vulnerable and requires specific care. It consists almost entirely of loose connective tissue and has an extremely small amount of collagen fibers, which is why it becomes prone to the appearance of deep wrinkles with age. In addition, due to the peculiarities of facial expressions, the skin of the eyelids is constantly in motion. Even when we sleep, dreams often cause involuntary contractions of the facial muscles that affect the paraorbital region.
The skin of the eyelids contains more blood vessels than the skin of the face, and the upper layer of the epidermis is much thinner.
The paraorbital region is the lower and upper eyelids, as well as the expression zone, where age-related changes, manifested by “crow’s feet,” primarily occur.
Signs of aging skin around the eyes:
- the appearance of ptosis tissue, drooping of the lower eyelid;
- darkening of individual areas or the entire lower eyelid, melanin deficiency;
- changes in the structure and elasticity of blood vessels, accompanied by deterioration of blood circulation and microcirculation;
- dehydration of the skin and drying out of the surface layer, causing “crow’s feet” and a fine network of wrinkles to appear;
- changes in the intercellular substance of the dermis, reducing the skin’s ability to retain moisture in its deep layers;
- loss of natural firmness and elasticity, slowdown in the synthesis of collagen and elastin;
- thickening of the stratum corneum;
- thinning of the epidermal layer;
- slowing down regenerative processes;
- disruption of hormonal and energy metabolism in cells.
Thin and delicate skin around the eyes necessarily requires constant competent care. To do this, the cosmetics industry produces tons of anti-aging products every day, among which you need to choose the appropriate cream or serum for an individual rejuvenation program.
A cosmetic product intended to rejuvenate the eye contour should be used in regular courses
Elizabeth Taylor, an American actress who was a recognized beauty of her time, answered journalists’ questions about her beauty secret: “In order to be irresistible and young, it is necessary to nourish the delicate skin of the eyelids in any situation. Morning and evening, every day. If you don't have money for cream, take butter. If you don’t have money for butter, divorce this man.”
Elizabeth Taylor was called the most charming woman of her time
Features of the use of anti-aging creams for the skin of the eyelids
In order for the anti-aging cream to reveal its full potential for impact on the skin, it is necessary to apply it strictly along the massage lines. This approach will several times increase the effect of the nutrients and moisturizing substances present in the anti-wrinkle cream. In addition, this procedure eliminates negative mechanical effects on the skin of the face, which can lead to excessive stretching of the surface layer of the epidermis.
When applying the cream to the skin around the eye contour, remember that finger movements should be especially light and careful. In these areas, the skin is thin and needs the most delicate treatment. It is here that the so-called foci of aging arise, revealing the true age of a woman.
When using anti-aging cream daily, you need to adhere to the following rules:
- It is necessary to thoroughly cleanse your face using any usual method suitable for your skin type. This can be a light foam for washing, soft milk or cleansing soap with a peeling effect.
- Then the face should be wiped with micellar water, which removes makeup residue, or with a tonic, which prepares the surface layer of the epidermis for interaction with the anti-aging product.
- A small amount of cream should be squeezed out of the bottle or removed from the jar using a special spatula, after which the product should be rubbed between the fingers, thereby activating the biologically active components.
- Then apply the anti-aging product with gentle movements to the skin around the eyes along the lines of least stretch.
- At the end of the procedure, the skin of the eyelids can be lightly blotted with a clean paper napkin, removing excess cream.
