A rich, comforting moisturiser that keeps dry skin hydrated all day
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Rich Cream is a nourishing moisturiser for dry to very dry and sensitive skin that feels tight and uncomfortable. Its formula pairs Vichy mineralizing thermal water with hyaluronic acid and mannose, a plant-derived sugar, to replenish the skin with water and help it hold on to it, with hydration that Vichy says lasts up to 48 hours. Shea butter and macadamia, jojoba and sunflower oils nourish the surface and restore comfort. Skin is left supple, plumper and soft from the first application.
The texture
A rich but melting cream that spreads easily and sinks in within a minute, without a heavy or oily film. It has a light, fresh floral scent typical of the Aqualia range and sits well under makeup.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry skin that feels tight after cleansing
- Sensitive skin needing daily comfort
- Skin dried out by cold weather, heating or air conditioning
- Anyone who finds light gel creams not nourishing enough
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and a little alcohol, so very reactive skin may prefer a fragrance-free cream. Normal or combination skin will find it too rich; the Aqualia Thermal Light Cream is the better choice there.
How long one jar lasts
Used morning and evening on the face and neck, a 50ml jar lasts about six to eight weeks.
