I have been using Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot since 2013 but I never really looked at their other products. It was only during sometime in my second year at uni, where I started using it. Back then I did some research on it by reading some of their reviews and found that it had a pretty high rating and it’s even one of Vichy’s best seller. I really wanted to buy it, but seeing that it’s £11 in Boots I was a bit hesitant. But because I know Boots frequently have 3 for 2 offers, so I waited for a bit and finally bought it, along with some other products.

Normaderm deep cleansing purifying gel review

Product description:

“Targets dilated or clogged pores, shine, imperfections, even recurring ones” -Boots

“Cleansing gel for men and women of all ages with combination to oily skin who want to eliminate impurities and excess sebum while reducing shine and deeply cleansing their pores. Perfect for clearing excess sebum and impurities without over-drying“-Vichy

Made in France

Normaderm deep cleansing purifying gel review

Price: £11/200ml available in Boots (online and in stores)

How to use:

“Massage the cleansing gel foam onto a damp face and rinse off with water. Use daily.” -Vichy

The results:

Nowadays you will find that products that are targeted for oily/ acne prone skin often will have Tea Tree in it, yet it still works. The smell of this cleanser is moderate and does make you feel like you will have really clean skin after using it. I often use this a few days before and during my period where my skin becomes more oily and will have a few pimples. Using this can definitely help deep cleanse my pores and prevent excess sebum. Another great thing about this, is that my skin doesn’t feel dry! However, I would say that constant long term use will not be as effective. For those who may be suffering long term acne, you might not see the effects that well, because I certainly didn’t. But for small pimples, it is quite effective. Even though this product is more expensive than the Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash, it is definitely more effective. Also I find that this product doesn’t lather up very well. As I only use this for a week each month, the whole bottle can last for nearly a year.

Conclusion:

I would say that this product really do live up to its reviews and I would definitely recommend this for people that may have oily skin. Even though it is a bit expensive, it is worth it as it really is effective. Also for those who may get tired with using products that have Tea Tree and Witch Hazel, this is definitely one of those alternative cleanser you can use.

Rating:

For this product I will give it a 4.5/5, simply because I think it really does fit the product description and it is effective for pimples, but not so much for acne.

If I'm having a break out, this helps immensely if I use it ONLY on the break out area. If I use it all over, it dries my skin out. A little goes a long way, so a tiny portion of a pump is enough....

I have combination skin and this product left my skin super dry and flaky. As a result my skin only became more sensitive and oily. I do not recommend it.
