Do you recognise this? Its Vichy's top selling Eau Thermale!

A highly concentrated water with 15 mineral salts and trace elements, to soothe the skin and reinforce the skin’s natural protective function. Recognized by the French Academy of Medicine for its soothing properties, it is an essential complement to any skin care regimen.

One of my must-haves! 

I spray this on my face before I put on my makeup application & it really makes my foundation look dewy 

Now lets take a look at the Bi-white Med products

*****

Deep Corrective Whitening Essence

Deep cell whitening essence is boosted by LHA to penetrate deep down in the epidermis and depigment cells. New whitening complex enriched with a natural extract controls the biological signal of melanin synthesis in even deeper layers to target pigmentation at its source. Skin recovers an intense flawless luminosity.It is tested on Asian sensitive skin under dermatologist control.

Trying some on my hand

Vichy Bi-WHITE MED Day Cream

A new formula highly concentrated in active ingredients penetrating deep in the skin, reaching the fibroblast down in the dermis, to correct the 6 complexion flaws thus bringing the broadest results. BI-WHITE MED combine for the first time the whitening power of traditional Peony with the protective strength of natural oils, and thus provide 24h extended protection against pollution and stress and as well as quicker results on the quest for ideal skin.  Enriched in white peony, and Balance oil - they provide extended efficacy and allow you to reach unprecedented results from the 1st week when used in routine with the Essence.

Vichy Bi-WHITE MED Night Cream

The Vichy Bi-White Reveal Double Corrective Whitening Night Cream uses a special bio-assimilated Ceramide formula that that has double efficacy and inhibits the production of melanin to reduce skin darkening. This darkening could be caused by sun exposure or aging, and the cream works well for both cases. The LHA exfoliates and remove the dead skin cells accumulated on the surface to bring out the new skin cells. The skin looks fresh, radiant and visibly transformed within a few weeks of application, as the new skin cells impart a fairer glow.

The New Ceramide White controls cellular signals and reduces the production of melanin, which is the real cause for darker skin. The LHA offers perfect skin whitening and the cream has an effective formula that penetrates the skin well because of the active ingredients added. It has a great consistency that makes it easy to apply and does not produce any oxidized sebum.

 - Perfect skin whitening formula

 -Easy to apply night cream with the perfect consistency

- Exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells

- Controls the production of melanin and makes the skin naturally fairer and even toned

I had the opportunity to bring some of the products home so I'll do a detailed review later :)

The Event

Here's my friend Herine and I acting like commercial girls! Spraying Eau Thermale on our faces! LOL!

Ahahah~ we damn nonsense I tell u. 

Look at my scare-but-want-to-laugh, yet look constipated face. #Fail

We each got a sweet handphone chain! 

Rusty's initial one (the leaf) was loose, but the kind people at Vichy gave her another one - so she passed me this! (Coz I had the clam aka sea hum *sob*) Hahaha!

Meet my pal, Minnie.

Thankful to always meet lovely (and so, so pretty!) people! xo

Got to bring home some to try!

The Review

The products came nicely in a 1930s theme retro box! How thoughtful~

When I opened it, I wasnt surprised to see the best-seller : My favourite thermal water spray!

* Night cream was unavailable at that point of time

Bi-White Med Eau Thermale Spray Review : I love this becoz its so convenient and I use this on my face all the time. The spray is very fine and I heard that mummies use this to soothe baby's skin from nappy rash! As that is a pretty expensive alternative... (lol), I would very much prefer spray my face instead! Great for our humid weather and when you wish to refresh yourselve without messing up your makeup. 

$19.90 for a pack of 3 at Watson's.

Bi-White Med Essence Review : This essence is pretty light for both day and night use and there is no sticky-after feel at all. I like the scent (Peony) and I find it refreshing for day, and calming for night. With its mother of pearl extracts, this brightens my skin complexion when applied. But I personally have oily combi/dry sensitive skin so I always apply serums/essences sparingly. Thankfully this did not break me out when I used it 3x a week. Goes well under the cream due to its light consistency. 

Retails at $82.

Bi-White Med Day Cream Review : I really liked this! The cream is quite gel-like instead, so it absorbs instantly and there was no sticky after-feel at all. Even when I used the Essence in conjunction with the cream, they did not feel 'heavy' at all. The cream penetrated my skin almost immediately and my (drier) cheek area felt moisturized. The only thing that bugged me was the tub packing (not a fan of dipping fingers into ANYTHING.) but I have spare spatulas lying around the room so it was perfectly ok with me in the end ~lol. Retails at $59, Night cream retails at $69.

Overall Review :

I love the technology and use of spring water in all the Vichy products. 

All their products comply with safety charter:

+ Effectiveness tested under dermatological control

+ Tested on sensitive skin

+ Contains fortifying and soothing Vichy Thermal Spa Water

+ Allergy Tested

This is important to me as I have slightly sensitive skin and tend to react to very strong formulas. This range is excellent for younger mid-twenties to thirties ladies who want a whitening regime, yet do not want the product to feel too 'heavy' on their skin. The spray is a daily routine for me (before makeup application) and I find the gel-cream excellent for our humid weather. You can apply your makeup right after becoz the products absorb quickly in skin. Price-wise, it is slightly more expensive than the other drugstore brands but I would not hesitant to purchase if there is a discount going on. (eg Promotional price/ Watson's member discount etc) A full range will set you back to around $200, which frankly .. is still cheaper than most brands found in departmental stores.
