All you need to know about Dry and Dehydrated Skin
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin often feels rough and flaky, while dehydrated skin may feel tight and look dull. Vichy’s hydrating products help restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
Which Vichy products are best for dehydrated skin?
Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster delivers deep hydration and strengthens the skin barrier. For lasting moisture, Vichy Mineral 89 100HR Rich Hydrating Cream provides up to 100 hours of hydration with hyaluronic acid and Vichy volcanic water.
Can dehydrated skin affect oily skin types?
Yes. Even oily skin can be dehydrated. When the skin lacks water, it may produce more oil to compensate. Lightweight hydrating products, like Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream, help balance and hydrate without feeling heavy.
Can I use Vichy hydrating products under makeup?
Yes. Vichy’s lightweight serums and moisturisers absorb quickly, creating a smooth, hydrated base that helps makeup apply more evenly and last longer.
Is Vichy skincare suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. All Vichy products are dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and free from parabens, making them safe for sensitive and reactive skin.
How often should I use Vichy hydrating products?
For the best results, use Vichy moisturisers and serums twice a day—morning and night—to keep skin hydrated and healthy.
Can Vichy help with very dry skin?
Yes. Vichy Nutrilogie Intense Cream is specially formulated for very dry skin. It deeply nourishes and helps restore the skin’s protective barrier.
Do Vichy products help protect against moisture loss?
Yes. Vichy’s formulas contain hyaluronic acid and volcanic water, which help lock in moisture, keeping skin hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.
Should I use SPF if I have dehydrated skin?
Yes. Sun exposure can worsen dehydration and cause damage. Use a daily sunscreen like Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Age Daily SPF50+ to protect your skin while keeping it hydrated.
