VICHY scientists have identified that the superficial dermis holds the secret to skin's youthfulness. It's a driving force behind the natural renewal of collagen fibres and the surface skin layer. We call it the Derm Source.
The formula enriched with Rhamnose, a naturally dervied active ingredient found in a brazilian plant, helps stimulate activity in the Derm Source.
So if you are not looking for a permanent lift, experience LIFTACTIV Derm Source for smoother, firmer and more radiant looking skin.
Suitable for sensitive skin and paraben free.

Strongest points
Sinks in well and leaves my skin feeling deeply moisturised so it definitely does the job.
Weakest points
I made the mistake of putting it on my eyelids. When during the day some accidentally gets in my eyes, when rubbing eyes or when eyes water for example, it's incredibly painful - my eyes streamed with water and stung furiously for about half an hour afterwards, despite claims on the jar that it's hyper allergenic.

Strongest points
Medium texture silky cream with good absorption. Leaves skin feeling soft, supple with noticeable results on fine lines and wrinkles. Pleasant scent. Simple white opaque pot packaging. Only a little cream needed per application so great value for money
Weakest points
Cream does not absorb as quickly as I would like
Summary
I received testers of this range by Vichy a few months ago and overall I am very impressed. The day cream of this range is rich but light and over a period of a week it did not cause breakouts on my combination skin! The texture is a medium consistency and a silky feel. A tiny amount of cream is all that is needed per application. The scent is pleasant and hard to describe but not overpowering. The cream does not absorb as rapidly as most creams and I found I had to wait 10 minutes before applying any makeup. My skin felt instantly, deeply moisturised and soft and my skin had a radiant glow. The moisturisation lasts all day without greasiness or excessive oil production. Some of my fine lines and crepiness on the neck area were visibly reduced. Over my week’s trial in combination of the night cream from this range, my skin had a more even tone and radiance but the biggest results were the softness and plumpness of my skin. My skin definitely had a more youthful and healthy appearance and overall I was really impressed with this cream but think Vichy should address the absorption issues. I am interested to try this range for a longer period of time as the results I saw just over a week period were impressive
