Vichy star rating: 4.3/5 stars

A Vichy reviewer said: “I’ve only been using this for a week and am already seeing great results with reduced fine lines around my mouth and face. It feels rejuvenating when you use it, and I actually feel a tightening happening. My skin is brighter and more illuminated. I am turning 60 this year, so really looking for ways to battle these lines, and they look good!”

PROS

• Brightening effect

CONS

• Concentration is over 20%

With vitamin C, glutathione, and ergothioneine, this serum instantly brightens dull skin. Depending on your skin’s sensitivity, you can use the product alone or add a few drops to your favorite moisturizer for a more diffused but equally effective application.

Sephora star rating: 4.7/5 stars

I use 1-2 pump all over my face and I think it is brightening up my skin tone and texture. I recommend it, I actually bought this for my sister and mom as well.”
