Component composition of the product
The main components are natural extracts of herbs and plants. Cleansing is based on the action of glycogel acid. This substance effectively works on pores, eliminates blackheads and pimples, and helps cope with unevenness and redness. Other active ingredients:
- glycerol;
- thermal water;
- lemon acid;
- fermented substances of black tea;
- blueberry extract.
The last two components act as antioxidants. They activate skin regeneration, allowing you to quickly restore your complexion, saturate the epidermis with vitamins and minerals, giving it a lasting natural shine. Natural components stimulate the growth and renewal of cells in all upper layers of the dermis, giving the face a fruity aroma.
Dead skin particles are removed using an auxiliary exfoliant - HEPES. Its content in the lotion is only 5%. This concentration is enough for the substance to destroy intercellular connections and gently eliminate excess epidermis.
Citric acid helps remove age spots. The substance whitens the skin, making it look healthier and its tone becomes even. The addition of thermal waters provides mineral nutrition to the upper layers of the skin, and glycerin prevents the dermis from drying out, becoming thin and lifeless.

Reviews of night peeling Vichy Idealia from consumers and cosmetologists
Leralera:
I apply lotion twice a week. I recommend doing this with your fingers - this way the consumption of the drug is less. The effect is noticeable the next morning: the skin becomes lighter, tighter and more youthful. The only drawback is that the substance is slowly absorbed, you need to wait half an hour before going to bed, otherwise the lotion will end up on the pillow. I use samples and now I’m thinking about buying a full bottle.
Evgeniya:
It has always been difficult to find a product for combination skin that would cope with all the imperfections of the face. This peeling amazed me - it eliminates oily shine and flaking, tightens pores without causing itching or burning. A month after using it, I got rid of acne and blackheads, so I will continue to use the lotion.
Antonina, cosmetologist:
Night peelings based on acid and natural extracts are the best solution for cleansing sensitive skin. The Vichy facial cleansing product is suitable for girls under 35 years of age who suffer from dryness and age spots. After use, be sure to apply sun protection, otherwise complications may arise. The drug can also be used by people under 45 years of age, but with the addition of daytime anti-aging complexes.”

Opinion of cosmetologists
Comments from cosmetologists on forums are mostly positive. Experts say that peeling is well tolerated and practically does not cause an allergic reaction.
