Frequently Asked Questions
MOISTURISERS

What is the best moisturiser for mature skin?

The best moisturiser for mature skin combines deep hydration with active anti-ageing ingredients. Look for Hyaluronic Acid to plump fine lines, Collagen-stimulating actives to firm and lift, and Retinol for overnight renewal. Vichy's Liftactiv range offers both day and night formulas specifically developed for women 45+.

Should I use a day cream and a night cream?

Yes — day and night creams serve different functions. Day creams are lighter and focus on hydration and environmental protection. Night creams are richer and work with the skin's overnight repair cycle to deliver more intensive renewal actives like Retinol. Using both gives comprehensive 24-hour anti-ageing coverage.

How do I layer a moisturiser with a serum?

Always apply serum first on clean skin, allow it to absorb for 30–60 seconds, then apply your moisturiser to seal in the serum's actives and provide a second layer of hydration and targeted benefit. Vichy's Liftactiv serums and moisturisers are designed to work seamlessly together.

Are Vichy moisturisers suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. All Vichy Liftactiv moisturisers are hypoallergenic, fragrance-tested, and dermatologist-approved for sensitive skin. They are enriched with Vichy Volcanic Water — naturally rich in 15 strengthening minerals — to help fortify the skin barrier alongside their anti-ageing actives.
