Vichy

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.
