Women during the restructuring of the body, provoked by menopause, are recommended to use Vichy cream and other products for the face after 50 years. Using this cosmetic line, you can restore the elasticity of your skin. The components of the products act on the intercellular matrix, promoting regeneration. The skin actively produces collagen, its density increases, and wrinkles are smoothed out.
The Vichy company offers not only day and night care, but also additional products: an elixir-serum enriched with oils, a balm for enhanced nutrition. Regular use of the entire line will help restore the skin and protect it from hormonal imbalance.
Why do you need to take care of your skin after 50?
The skin of a woman over 50 undergoes serious age-related changes. Due to a decrease in tissue hydration, the dermis dries, contracts, and deep wrinkles appear throughout the face. At this age, ptosis becomes more and more noticeable, eyebrows and eyelids droop.
Negative skin changes occur during menopause, when metabolism slows down and the skin suddenly loses its youth. Therefore, even at the age of 45, it is recommended to pay attention to cosmetics for the care of mature, thin skin.
Cosmetics for the care of mature skin contain components to increase its density. Use milk to cleanse your face. Anti-aging creams should contain natural oils and hyaluronic acid. Substances are also added that penetrate the deep layers of the epidermis and stimulate collagen production.
It is recommended to do massage, as well as special gymnastics for the face. If you spend about 15 minutes daily on such procedures, you will look much younger.
To eliminate wrinkles that have appeared, an effective Vichy Neovadiol line has been developed after 50 years. Its goal is to support women's skin, which changes due to hormonal changes during menopause.

A little about Vichy
The Vshi company was founded back in 1931. Its progenitors: doctor Prospero Allaire and businessman Georges Guerin first proposed combining such areas as beauty and health. They used thermal water from the Lucas spring, located at the foot of the mountains near the town of Vichy in France, as the main active component. In 1955, L'Oréal became the owner of the Vichy brand. It is from this moment that all cosmetics become pharmaceutical products.
All products of this brand are distinguished by their environmental friendliness and versatility. Products are produced that help people of both sexes and different ages take high-quality and effective care for all parts of the body.
Depending on the skin type and existing problems, products in the following areas are produced:

This oil can be used under cream or as a separate moisturizer. Thanks to vitamin E, the skin remains young longer, despite the influence of ultraviolet rays.

Serum for skin during menopause
During menopause, the skin sharply loses its elasticity and density, the oval of the face changes, and wrinkles become more pronounced. For better nutrition and easy application of cream to the face, Vichy has developed a serum. This product costs about 2000 rubles.
The composition includes natural oils and tocopherol. If you use it daily before applying the cream, wrinkles become less noticeable and your complexion improves. Shea butter restores youth, and lipids reduce the side effects of menopause (loss of elasticity, appearance of pigment, ptosis).

Reviews
- Nina, 49 years old: “Neovadiol cream is ideal for my dry skin. It especially nourishes the lower part of the face and neck. After two applications, you feel that the skin has become velvety and smooth. I use it in winter and have already forgotten about the fact that my face becomes chapped. This pleasantly nourishing remedy can serve as a great step towards rejuvenation.”
- Katerina Petrovna, 55 years old: “My acquaintance with Vichy cosmetics began with a makeup remover given to me. For a long time I suffered with other removing lotions; they smeared the mascara and did not completely remove it. The French remedy turned out to be up to par. After this successful experiment, I bought two creams from the Neovadiol series, created for my age, at the pharmacy. I am absolutely satisfied with them, I have been using them for more than one year. They do not cause irritation, hide wrinkles well and prevent the appearance of new ones, and the contour of the face is noticeably tightened. I recommend this company to everyone.”
- Elya, 26 years old : “Last year for my mother’s birthday, I gave her NeoVadiol Gf eyelid and lip cream from Vichy. I have been using this cosmetics for a long time and am absolutely delighted with it. My mother is allergic, so it’s very difficult to please her with cosmetics. She herself often buys the wrong thing, although she chooses carefully. We often take samples from different cosmetic companies for her, but many do not show themselves the first time. At the pharmacy, the pharmacist recommended Vichy to me. I took a risk by purchasing the eye cream without testing it first. Although I was warned that some people complained about the salts contained in thermal water, which is a component of any cream from this company, I never noticed their effects on myself.”
My mother, having used it three times and seen the result, was very happy with such a gift. The skin tightened a little, wrinkles began to smooth out, and the look itself became rejuvenated. “Our woman” blossomed, probably, a well-groomed appearance has a great effect on us, and my mother felt it. Now I buy her Vichy cosmetics for all holidays. It's always nice to pamper your loved one.

Day care cream for normal skin during menopause
For daytime care, Vichy offers a moisturizing cream. It is used in the morning as a base for makeup. You can purchase the product for 2000 rubles.
Day care cream for normal skin type has less oils. It is based on the Hepes-Hydrovance moisturizing complex, which gives freshness. Protein saturates with proteins and increases the growth of new epidermal cells. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, the water-lipid balance is restored.
It can also be used by those with a combination type and women prone to increased fat content in the T-zone. If you are left with a greasy film or the product takes a long time to absorb, simply apply a smaller layer to problem areas.
Day cream care for dry skin during menopause
After 50 years, those with dry skin constantly feel tightness and struggle with flaking. Therefore, Vichy suggests using special products that moisturize the skin. You can buy nourishing cream for 2000-2500 rubles.
In addition to the compensating complex, this cream contains natural apricot kernel oil. It has a denser texture, but applies in a thin layer and is quickly absorbed, allowing you to apply it 10-15 minutes before makeup. Thanks to proxilan, the active components penetrate deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production.
In combination with night cream, this product eliminates dryness, reduces wrinkles, increases density, eliminating the film effect on the face. For the best effect, it is recommended to apply not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté.

Compensating complex Vichy Neovadiol
Why was the Vichy Neovadiol line created after 50 and given such close attention? The main task of this cosmetics is to support the skin of the fair sex at the “Balzac age”. After all, it is at this time that a woman’s body undergoes hormonal changes provoked by the menopause.
The secret of the creams and balms included in the Neovadiol line lies in the carefully selected composition:
- hyaluronic acid provides complete hydration to the thinning epidermis;
- proxilan increases turgor;
- caffeine supports the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid and tones;
- hedione helps accelerate the regeneration processes of the upper layers of the epidermis;
- proteins increase the intercellular matrix, resulting in a lifting effect;
- eperuline relieves irritation and soothes the skin.
All these components are basic in the products of this series. Depending on the type of product, the composition may contain other substances designed to solve more specific problems.
Day cream for dry skin types
The cream perfectly cares for dry, dehydrated skin during menopause. The composition contains hyaluronic acid and the innovative moisturizing agent Hepes-Hydrovance, which not only saturate the tissues of the epidermis and dermis with moisture, but also improve the appearance of the skin.
Another revolutionary component of Pro-Xylan is a “molecular agent”, that is, acting at the cellular level. It improves metabolic processes, which stimulates the production of its own collagen.
The complex of components is designed in such a way that it has a powerful hydrating and regenerating effect on the skin.
For normal type
Day care cream for normal skin (as well as combination skin) is identical in composition to the previous cream. But the components are present in slightly different concentrations.
Among the positive effects on the skin are:
- active fight against wrinkles;
- lifting effect;
- structuring the oval of the face;
- restoration of the natural hydrobalance of the dermis.
The skin becomes fresh, soft, elastic. The color and tone are evened out, the contour is tightened, and the turgor improves.
The product has a delicate texture and is absorbed almost instantly. This makes it possible to use the cream as a base for makeup.
It is recommended to apply not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté.
Night care
The compensating complex night cream contains, in addition to hyaluronic acid, Hepes-Hydrovance and proxylane, caffeine. The substance has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, improves blood circulation and lymph flow. Thanks to this, in the morning the face is free from swelling and bags under the eyes.
As a rule, Vichy night cream after 50 is used as the final stage of evening care. To achieve the maximum possible effect, cosmetologists recommend applying it after serum from the same line of products.
It is important to know! Regular use of all products, including night cream, guarantees a noticeable smoothing of even pronounced nasolabial furrows.
Eye and lip contour care
The skin around the lips and eyes has a particularly delicate texture. Special products have always been intended for this area, fully moisturizing, nourishing, protecting and stimulating internal processes more actively.
In our case, the active components of the product are:
- protein – cell growth stimulator;
- proxilan – increases skin elasticity;
- eperulin is a legume extract that has an anti-inflammatory effect;
- thermal water.
The texture of the cream is very light, almost weightless. The product is quickly absorbed. The general condition of epidermal and dermal tissues improves, their elasticity increases, and facial wrinkles are smoothed out.
Nourishing balm Magistral (Mazhistral)
The product is intended for dry, weakened and thinned skin during menopause, when there is an acute shortage of female sex hormones in the body, in particular estrogen.
Vichy nourishing balm, like other representatives of this series of products, contains the innovative component Pro-Xylan, which restores the intercellular matrix.
In addition to this, the composition includes:
- protein – stimulates tissue regeneration processes;
- thermal water moisturizes and tones;
- shea butter saturates with vitamins;
- Rice bran oil nourishes with minerals;
- safrole oil promotes;
- cowpea extract.
The texture of Vichy Magistral nourishing balm is something between a cream and a serum. The substance is applied very well and distributed over the entire surface of the skin, quickly absorbed, nourishes and moisturizes, penetrating into the deepest layers of tissue.
The visual effect of rejuvenation is noticeable after a month of regular use.
Magistral Elixir serum with restorative oils
Neovadiol serum with restorative oils is designed specifically for active nutrition of dry skin suffering from a lack of nutrients. Active ingredients include only natural ingredients:
- Shea Butter;
- rice bran oil;
- safflower oil;
- capsicum extract;
- tocopherol
The serum is very well absorbed, penetrating into the deepest layers of skin tissue, nourishing and replenishing the lack of polyunsaturated amino acids. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and protects the skin from photoaging.
The product is used both independently and in combination with creams from this line.

Prerequisites
Mature skin requires special products, due to the characteristics of the epithelium. After fifty years, the processes of withering are already actively underway, caused by physiological changes in the woman’s body. The following processes occur in the skin:
- Inhibition of the function of the sebaceous glands.
- Slowing down of cellular renewal.
- Accelerating the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
- Reducing the amount of hyaluronic acid.
- Activation of lipid peroxidation.
As a result, the mature epithelium becomes thinner and drier, and the dermis loses its firmness and elasticity. First, facial wrinkles appear, and then deeper folds, sagging skin sags, becomes covered with pigment spots and spider veins. And all this requires adequate correction, which anti-aging cosmetics will help with.
