Skin is subject to many influences, both internal and external. At Vichy, we believe that how you treat your skin is more important than skin type. With its many years of experience, Vichy research has discovered new and effective ways for looking after the health of your skin. And by improving the health of skin, it can regenerate, protect, and better retain water and nutrients: skin can be transformed. Ideal skin is no longer just a dream.

Every day, Vichy brings together healthcare professionals, dermatologists, gynaecologists, pharmacists, allergists, nutritionists, sports doctors, physiotherapists and psychologists to develop high-performance and high-tolerance skincare products. These products have been created with the lifestyles of women today in mind. They take into account all factors which could influence how the skin looks & feels such as the environment, UV rays, climate, lifestyle, nutritional habits and stress...

Your Vichy pharmacist is a true ally to help you achieve ideal skin. She/he will support you and advise on the best products and skincare regime to suit your skin needs.

The expertise of Vichy Laboratoires is based on the founding principles of pharmacy and on the latest advances in science and skincare technology designed to develop unique formulas, exclusive to the Vichy brand.

At the heart of every formula is the use of active ingredients with proven efficacy in optimal doses, supported by innovative textures and technology to provide efficacy at every level.

The strength of Vichy Laboratoires is knowing how to combine the latest high-tech active ingredients with traditional dermatological ingredients. These ingredients must have the right cosmetic, hydrating, nourishing and mattifying properties but always with the aim to respect the skin.

Far beyond strictly complying with a formulation guideline, Vichy has a truly pleasure-focussed approach to dermocosmetics, even for sensitive skin. Active, sensory textures boost the efficacy of the formulae and make them easy to use.

The textures of Vichy Laboratoires products are designed to stimulate the senses. They look charming, with their delicate colours with iridescent or pearly nuances. They feel wonderful, with their melting velvety softness and light creaminess. They smell lovely, with their floral or fruity scents that leave a delicately perfumed caress suitable for all skin types even the most sensitive.

We carry out in vitro tests on each and every ingredient to check their tolerance and measure their efficacy. We then test the end products to assess their performance. New tolerance tests are then performed on end products and validated by toxicologists to check that they are suitable for sensitive skin. In vivo tests are carried out to ensure that the product is pleasant and suitable for women's skin.

All our formulas are hypoallergenic to ensure maximum tolerance.

Each formula, scented or unscented, is tested to check that the risk of allergy is minimal.

Set up in 2008 in Vichy Spa Hotel & Resort Les Célestins, the Institute is a truly unique place dedicated to the beauty and health of skin.

It offers treatments specially adapted to each skin type, combining expertise in the physiology of skin and the best beauty rituals. In this place of serenity and relaxation, everything is designed to facilitate skin regeneration.

At the Institute, Vichy and a team of physiotherapists have developed unique massage techniques to maximise the efficacy of treatment and strengthen the skin using deep pressure points, aero-massages, fortifying spraying... The skin recharges and re-energises itself.

To help you get the most out of our unique expertise at home, Vichy Laboratoires have developed self-massaging techniques. These application methods can help increase the efficacy of the product and improve skin quality, elasticity, texture and radiance. There is a self-massaging technique for each product and skin type.
