“This is a phenomenal formula”12:01–12:05
“The higher molecular weight, the one that doesn't penetrate the skin, the one that sits on top of the skin, is just gentler, it's more cushioning to the skin, it's softer on the skin”12:16–12:19
“It is still a phenomenal formula that I definitely stand by”12:34–12:38
“Still an all-time favorite, one of my go-tos if I just want some refreshing hydration”12:38–12:40
“Simple formula, it just does what it does and does it well”12:40–12:46

“Thermal spring water, hyaluronic acid, a little bit of glycerin, and it just sits so lightly on the skin”6:26–6:30
“It's just been around so long, it's so simple. It may not be newsworthy, but it's always just a good staple hydrating ingredient or hydrating product”6:32–6:37

“It's marketed as this revolutionary hydrating serum packed with volcanic water and hyaluronic acid and is very very very nice”1:09–1:16
“When I kind of look at the ingredients, it's quite basic in a nice way, not in a bad way”1:22–1:29
“It's lightweight and hydrating. It literally just feels like water for your skin”1:34–1:38
“The claims about the barrier support and antioxidant protection are mostly coming from their mineral water, which doesn't really have the same robust clinical backing as ingredients like peptides or ceramides, for example”1:36–1:44

Brand note

Vichy is a pharmacy mainstay that creators trust for straightforward, no-fuss formulas — think functional hydration and scalp care rather than trendy actives. The Minéral 89 serum is the brand's clearest anchor: a lightweight, basic hydrating serum that sits well under other products, even if its barrier claims lean more on mineral water than hard clinical evidence. The trade-off is that Vichy's simplicity can feel underwhelming for anyone looking for advanced ingredients, and some products (like the Normaderm cleanser) get dinged for unnecessary fragrance.
