Brand note
Vichy is a French pharmacy brand that leans on thermal spring water and straightforward ingredient lists rather than flashy actives. The Minéral 89 Hydrating and Plumping Daily Booster Serum is the clearest anchor — a lightweight, basic hydrating serum that sits well under other products, though its barrier and antioxidant claims are more about the mineral water than robust clinical backing. The brand also has a hair serum (Dercos Aminexil) that a dermatologist buys in Europe for hair growth without shedding, and a matte moisturizer that absorbs oil and cools the skin.
