Vichy's Mineral 89 not only provides the skin with essential hydration using hyaluronic acid, but also helps to protect it against pollution, adding radiance, creating a plumper finish and providing an even base for makeup application.
While the Vichy Mineral 89 can be used under your moisturiser for an extra boost of moisture or on its own in the mornings. The lightweight texture feels like water on the skin and absorbs instantly, meaning you can get on with the rest of your routine.
