There are different ways to get rid of acne and blackheads. Follow a diet or make masks weekly, wipe your skin with medicinal ice cubes and a decoction, or wash your face with herbal infusions. But what to do if the inflammation appears suddenly, and you need to look great within a couple of hours? In this case, you can treat acne using professional products. Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot is a great way to eliminate inflammation in the shortest possible time and amaze everyone with your appearance.
What is this tool? Why is Vichy for acne so popular among young people and older people? How to use it correctly and not make a mistake with the dosage? We will try to help find answers to all questions!
Antibiotics
Broad-spectrum, but chosen incorrectly, they can provoke the growth of fungal flora, which, ironically, will only worsen acne. The problem may also be one of addiction: after about a month to a month and a half of taking medications, the body is able to develop “bacterial resistance”. As a result, even the product that previously perfectly erased all imperfections from the face will turn out to be useless. A possible solution is to alternate “alternative” versions of antibiotics and use medicinal cosmetics. It is unnecessary to remind you that you cannot self-medicate: now antibiotics will only be sold to you with a doctor’s prescription.
The history of the creation of a popular brand
Vichy is a small provincial French town where famous warm and cold springs with thermal water are located. This is what is included in Vichy products. The company itself was founded in 1931, when Dr. Prosper Aller, studying the properties of healing thermal water, discovered that it quickly regenerates the skin (heals scratches and inflammation).
Vichy cosmetics have been sold only in pharmacies since 1955 (the year the deal was concluded with another famous French company, Loreal). This is the company's business card. Later, in 1969, not far from the healing springs, a factory for the production of cosmetics, which are still popular to this day, appeared.
Anti-acne cosmetics
Many of them contain benzoyl peroxide, a traditional ingredient in drugstore acne cosmetics. The problem is that such products dry out the skin, both directly at the site of inflammation and around it, and can cause severe irritation and peeling, which is also not an easy task to deal with. Why exchange an awl for soap?

At the same time, we must not forget that the appearance of inflammation ─ first isolated, and then periodic ─ is often associated with improper skin care. This is also why acne often worsens during the changing seasons - in spring and autumn, when the body is in the grip of adapting to new conditions, we aggravate the problem by not having time to upgrade our cosmetics bag. Attention: anti-acne products must contain hydroxy acids (glycolic, mandelic, salicylic, azelaic), retinol, antiseptics (chlorhexidine), moisturizing components (hyaluronic acid).

Caring for oily and problematic skin, prone to inflammation and rashes, includes not only thorough cleansing, but also active care at night in the form of acids or retinol (if necessary, antibacterial drugs recommended by a doctor), as well as moisturizing in the morning. In the acute stage of acne, pharmaceutical medicinal preparations are used for skin care. Any specialized cosmetic line can be used as maintenance care. Cosmetic procedures, depending on the severity and number of inflammatory elements, can include chemical peelings (for example, almond, salicylic, retinoic), ozone therapy, and plasma therapy.
Action
The beneficial effect of the drug is due to the complex action of its active substances.
Salicylic acid 1.5%
It is also called beta-hydroxy acid and is known for its ability to loosen the surface layer of the epidermis. As a result, a layer of old and dead cells exfoliates, which interfere with the normal discharge of skin secretions. Removing the top layer unclogs pores and improves skin tone, giving it a fresh and rejuvenated appearance. Penetrating deep into the hair follicle or inside the pores, salicylic acid acts directly on the site of inflammation, significantly reducing the inflammatory response. Possessing an antimicrobial effect, the acid destroys pathogenic microflora, preventing the development of pathogens.
Hyaluronic acid
This compound has truly unique properties. By drying the top layer, it creates a micro film. Operating on the principle of a patch. As a result, pathogenic microflora does not gain access to damaged skin. Thus, the number of inflammatory reactions is reduced.
It is also worth noting that hyaluronic acid nourishes the deep layers of the skin. It is actively used in complex treatment aimed at combating acne and acne. That is why the manufacturer included it in Normaderm.
As a result of active tissue stimulation, a large amount of collagen is produced. This allows you to avoid the formation of post-acne, which is the scourge of many people who have overcome acne. Bluish or brown spots can not only ruin your mood, but also disrupt a business meeting. After all, lack of self-confidence leads to disastrous consequences. When hyaluronic acid is included in the course of treatment, this effect can be avoided.
The anti-inflammatory effect that hyaluronic acid has also becomes an excellent addition to the already existing set of positive properties of the drug.
Lipo-hydroxy acid 0.5%
Another compound that has a strong antibacterial effect. Its distinctive feature is the fact that, accumulating in the upper layer, it is capable of stimulating peeling of the skin for a long time, freeing it from keratinized epithelium. Light peeling of the surface layers of the skin allows you to normalize metabolic processes in a short time, as well as cleanse the pores of sebaceous plugs. Thus, the normal activity of the epithelium and deeper layers of the skin is regulated.
The combined effect of all the active compounds of the drug Hyaluspot leads to the fact that the skin tone is evened out, the top layer becomes smoother and more even, post-acne disappears, and the foci of inflammation formed on the surface of the skin quickly decrease.
Folk remedies
Why we trust them almost more than professional means is a mystery. Among this kind of “panacea” are coconut oil, wine vinegar, and even toothpaste (egg whites and cucumber juice are simply a must-have from grandma’s chest). Experts, however, agree that chamomile and parsley decoctions have a real antiseptic effect, and they can be taken ─ both externally, to wipe inflamed skin, and internally, but you should not count on a lightning-fast and complex effect. When it comes to herbs, you can think of thyme: its essential oil has pronounced antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Unique composition
Cosmetics of this brand are made on the basis of water from a French thermal spring, which has a restorative effect on the affected areas, and therefore healing water has become the main component in Vichy cosmetics. It is impossible to produce products on such a basis in laboratory conditions, since they contain natural minerals and are a purely natural product. Each line of this brand has a unique composition; they are combined with useful vitamin complexes of groups A, C, E.
Vichy cosmetics for problem skin include salicylic acid, which dries and mattifies the skin, and a unique combination of Air Licium + Phe resorcinol, which allows you to get rid of oily shine and at the same time moisturize and nourish the skin.
Anti-aging creams of this brand contain natural ingredients that have a soothing property. Such creams are rich in phytohormones and antioxidants. And products intended for the care of young skin contain only pure thermal water and softening additives, which have a gentle effect on a young face.
Vichy cosmetics meet the highest international standards, do not contain hormonal drugs and are hypoallergenic
Squeezing pimples
It is difficult to resist doing this, especially when the appearance is spoiled not by a black dot ready to turn red, but by a white, swollen bump. No matter how you do this - with perfectly clean fingers or after steaming your face - the risk that a new one will form at the site of inflammation, and even worse than the previous one, remains. However, every rule has its exceptions.
Today, cosmetologists are increasingly saying that all inflammatory elements with a white head must be removed. The main thing is to do it correctly. A short master class: take a sterile napkin with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine, miramistin), carefully treat the inflammation, use a sterile needle (suitable for a disposable syringe) to pierce the surface of the pimple and carefully remove the unsightly contents with clean fingers. Immediately treat the opened pimple with hydrogen peroxide, and then with antibacterial cream. Doctors find the rationale for such harsh measures to be simple: inflammation must always be controlled. The longer the element “matures,” the higher the likelihood of scar formation. But, of course, take into account the skin’s tendency to scarring and pigmentation: if it is increased, it is better not to practice squeezing out pimples on your own.
A home gadget for treating acne Espada (FOREO) using a non-invasive method: the device works on the principle of blue light phototherapy, affecting bacteria with the energy of an LED beam. The procedure is quick (30 seconds of “work” with inflammation), painless and hygienic (convenient to take with you).
Allergic reactions
Possible only in case of individual intolerance to the components of the cosmetic product. Redness of the skin, itching, rashes and slight swelling of the treated tissues are a clear sign of an allergic reaction.
In order to avoid such negative effects on the skin if you have allergies or if you have not used the product before, experts recommend conducting a sensitivity test. A little gel is applied to the back of the wrist, and then you should wait about thirty to forty minutes. If during this time period none of the above signs of allergy occur, then you can safely apply the product to the affected area. Otherwise, it is better to refrain from using the gel. After all, if an allergic reaction in the form of redness or swelling is added to your acne, the result will be exactly the opposite of what is expected from using the drug. You can order Hyaluspot in the official Vichy online store.
Ultraviolet
It really does have an antibacterial effect, but it is so dosed that you don’t need to specifically fry in the sun for it. For example, an interesting fact: often after the skin condition improves in southern latitudes, after returning to normal conditions, an exacerbation occurs. Need I mention that tanning in a solarium is especially harmful?

- eliminates unwanted oily shine;
- fights rashes on the face;
- tightens enlarged pores;
- eliminates redness on the skin, evens out complexion;

Normaderm Anti-Age cream and reviews about it
We often hear complaints about pimples and blackheads from young people, but some of us have to suffer from skin imperfections even after 30 years or more. For older people whose skin has imperfections, Normaderm Anti-Age cream was created.
This product is also recommended for women with problem skin of oily and combination types. It has a very pleasant structure, combining the lightness and tenderness of a gel and complete hydration, which is usually provided by creamy products.
The cream is very quickly absorbed into the skin, does not leave a sticky feeling on the face, mattifies oily areas, while moisturizing problematic skin throughout the day, rather than drying it out due to matting.
Like the Vichy Normaderm Global cream, this product is able to solve the problem of acne in mature women, remove traces of post-acne, restore healthy freshness to the face, and make the skin smooth and velvety. In addition, Normaderm Anti-Age anti-aging cream also affects wrinkles, which will be a big plus in facial care for mature skin.
