Shoppers with mature skin love this hyaluronic acid serum: 'Pores look smaller'
Loved by more than 30,000 five-star fans, Vichy's Mineral 89 formula hydrates skin, leaving it plump and youthful.
Blotchy, red, wrinkly skin can leave you needing to save face in more ways than one! If you're looking for a product that'll hydrate your skin and leave it with a plump and subtle glow, look no more! More than 30,000 five-star Amazon reviewers love Vichy's Mineral 89 face serum, and it's no surprise why. When used consistently (like any product in your skin-care routine), it can smooth skin and fade signs of aging. With all that going for it, you'd think it would come with a hefty price tag, but no — you can score it for just $24.
You wouldn't think that any kind of acid would be the key to deep hydration, but that's science for ya — full of suprises!
The titular ingredient of Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum adds an instant dose of hydration to thirsty skin. Hyaluronic acid is known for holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which, when added to the skin, locks it deep in the pores. It can also help stave off signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and a dull complexion. Plus, it leaves skin with a more plump and youthful appearance.
The serum's benefits are enough to earn it a spot in your skin-care routine, but shoppers also love its texture. It has a lightweight feel (almost gel-like) that melts into your skin without leaving a sticky residue. Better yet, it's unscented, making it suitable for all skin types.
A five-star reviewer reported: "I have been using this for several years now, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. My skin is always well hydrated, and it does not feel heavy or oily on the face even in the summer heat. And measured by the compliments I get, it seems to keep wrinkles at bay."
"I’ve used other hyaluronic acid serums before, but the way this applies to the skin and is so nicely absorbed," another reviewer wrote. "I love it, and I will definitely repurchase it again!"
Some may think that adding a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum to their routine might create even more excess oil for their already oily skin, but that's not the case with this serum.
"This moisturizer is great if you have oily skin,” proclaimed this shopper. "It moisturizes without being overly greasy, and I love that it has minimal ingredients in it and doesn’t have silicones."
"I have 'mature' skin, which means it gets more dry every year," a customer shared. "I also have some rosacea-like redness and generally sensitive skin. I've used products with hyaluronic acid but wanted something more concentrated. For me, I noticed the results of this change overnight. Some of my redness is soothed, my skin is soft and more pores look smoother and smaller."
Important to note, however, is this review from a user who said it led to breakouts: "I wanted to love this product so bad, and I did for a couple of days. This definitely helps to maintain moisture in your skin if used right before your moisturizer. However, it broke my skin out in multiple different places. Probably not the best for acne-prone folks."
Formulated hand-in-hand with dermatologists, this serum works for all skin types.
