Brand info
Consumer confidence in the Vichy brand is based on high quality products, which is not surprising. One of the cosmetics developers was Dr. Prosper Aller. In 1931 he met the entrepreneur Georges Guerrin. The result of this acquaintance was the appearance of thermal water.
Naturally, through the efforts of the doctor, she met the needs of the skin as much as possible. And thanks to the professionalism of the entrepreneur, she was able to quickly enter the market and attract the attention of consumers.
In those days, cosmetics were made individually, usually in pharmacies. It is clear that with this approach, the quality of the product depended on one particular pharmacist. Well, if the woman did not have the money to pay for his services, she had to do only with home care.

Thanks to the tandem of a doctor and a businessman, women who lived at the beginning of the 20th century were able to get high-quality cosmetic products in the mass market category. She was distinguished by the availability, ease of use and the result that the use of this cosmetics gave. The brand name is the name of the city that stands on the thermal springs.
The uniqueness of the brand is also due to the fact that in the development of cosmetics, research has been the benchmark. In fact, this made the brand progressive and popular. It is the connection between science and medicine that helps to "move" this trade mark even now.
The second “whale” on which the popularity of the manufacturer is based is the close relationship with the buyers of cosmetics. The brand is not only interested in user reviews, but conducts large-scale research, analyzes how the new product affects the skin condition of women of different ages, with different skin types.
This makes the products more tailored to the needs of the consumer.

Composition and properties of deodorants
The line of antiperspirant products of the brand is quite wide. Here you can find deodorants for different skin types and situations. The difference in product properties is due to small differences in their composition. Individual elements of the composition bring certain properties to the product.
In general, the standard composition looks like this:
- perlite (is a mineral, acts as a sorbent);
- water (purified or mineral);
- unique chemical complexes, in particular, aluminum chloride (necessary to reduce sweating, affect the sweat glands);
- natural oils and extracts of plants (have a deodorant effect, soften, nourish, cool, give a feeling of freshness and coolness, endow deodorants with other additional properties);
- natural ingredients and fragrances (their task is to mask the smell of sweat).

Separately, it should be said about chemical complexes. As a rule, this phrase means metal salts. Their task is to narrow the sweat ducts, than to help reduce sweating (even profuse, which occurs in pathological hyperhidrosis). This is not a dangerous process, since the ducts are not completely blocked, but only narrowed. Unlike many manufacturers, Vichy does not use aluminum chloral hydrate, but aluminum chloride, which is considered safer.
All formulations are based on natural mineral perlite, which is a volcanic rock and is used in medicine as a sorbent. And also high-quality thermal water is used in products, and in some deodorants - thermal water. This ensures that deodorants are effective and safe. All are dermatologically tested and considered to be hypoallergenic.

Vichy antiperspirants perform a triple action:
- affect the sweat glands, narrowing them, thereby reducing sweating (including excess in hyperhidrosis);
- destroy pathogenic microorganisms that cause an unpleasant odor (and, with active reproduction, also provoke inflammation);
have a deodorizing and drying effect).

Forms of issue
The love of customers for Vichy products can be explained by the variety of forms of release of deodorants. The lines include various antiperspirants.
Roll-On Deodorants
It is a bottle with a ball (which is why such deodorants are also called roll-on), with which the product is distributed to the skin.
It has a pronounced antimicrobial effect, therefore it saves pathogenic microorganisms from multiplying, which cause an unpleasant odor. As an antiperspirant, Vichy roll-on deodorants affect the sweat glands, which means they significantly reduce the process of perspiration.
Unlike many analogs from other manufacturers, such a deodorant dries up in less than a minute, leaving no marks on clothes (thanks to the dimethicone in the composition).
The bottle provides an economical use of the product, does not flow. Roll-on products are suitable primarily for people with dry, sensitive, allergy-prone skin.

In general, the products are similar in their effect and composition, but the second deodorant will be more reliable if you plan to wear dark clothes or sweat a lot. The product will help prevent stains on your outfits.
Sprays contain perfume, so their scent is more pronounced when compared to roll-ons.
Cream products are represented by the only deodorant cream "7 days of protection". The basic elements of the composition are perlite, natural extracts and thermal water. The product does not contain alcohols and parabens, and is hypoallergenic. It can be used as an external remedy for the complex treatment of hyperhidrosis.

For men, Vichy offers a specialized set. The appearance of a separate series for men is due to the fact that the process of sweating in them is stronger due to physiological characteristics. In addition, the process of reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms is also more active. That is, the smell of sweat is more pronounced.
To solve these problems, Vichy created special, men's line. At the same time, the concentration of alcohols and metal salts in it is not increased, since, although this will give an effect, it will negatively affect the condition of the skin. All men's products have been developed according to a special formula, which is why they provide intense protection and demonstrate respect for the skin.
You can find out products for men by the Vichy Homme labeling. These are roll-on deodorants and antiperspirant sprays with a duration of up to 48 hours and up to 72 hours (recommended for increased sweating).

All roll-on products have a volume of 50 ml, sprays - 125 ml, deodorant cream - 30 ml.
How to use it correctly?
The deodorant is applied only to clean, dry skin. Sprays are sprayed at a distance of 15 cm from the body. It is important to avoid getting the aerosol in the eyes and nose. If this happens, rinse the mucous membranes with clean running water.
After applying the roll-on spray, wait 30-40 seconds for the deodorant to be fully absorbed. After that, you can get dressed.
After depilation, it is best to wait a few hours before using the deodorant. If there is no time, it is better to use a composition for hypersensitive skin.

Despite the fact that the instructions say about protection for 48 or 72 hours, it is advisable to wash off the deodorant from the armpits every night before going to bed.
If the antiperspirant is applied to the feet, then they must also first be washed and dried thoroughly - ideally in a natural way. If there is no time for this, blot dry with a soft cotton cloth, a diaper folded in several layers of gauze.
After that, the composition is applied along the entire foot and on the surface between the toes.

Review overview
In general, there are many people who mention the high cost of products. However, they immediately add that the quality of deodorants deserves the money.
A small life hack from user reviews - buying products on the manufacturer's official website is cheaper than in online stores and even in Vichy brand boutiques. When ordering on the site, a discount program is provided; sample gifts are attached to the order.

Vichy antiperspirants also receive a positive assessment from doctors. The latter note the safety and naturalness of the components of the composition. The only element that displeases doctors is aluminum. However, there is still nothing to replace it in such products.
On the Internet, you can find reviews of people with sensitive skin. They say that the attending dermatologist recommended to them to switch to the specialized Vichy deodorant. Using a roll-on for sensitive skin protects against sweat and does not cause skin problems or discomfort.
