Difference: Vichy, Yayang, la roche-posay.

The biggest difference between cosmeceuticals and ordinary cosmetics is that their formula is always as simple as possible, without adding pigments, spices, preservatives or even surfactants, but with high content of effective ingredients, strong pertinence and good effect.

At present, medical skin care products sold in pharmacies in China market and drugstores in Europe and America include Vicky VICHY, LRP la roche-posay and AVENE Avene. In fact, there are many brands in France. Among the skin care products sold in these pharmacies, these three brands are mainly hot spring water, and others do not contain hot spring water.

Of these three brands,

Vicky Vicky, LRP la roche-posay, from L 'Oré al Cosmetics Company.

Yayang Yang Ya comes from a pharmaceutical factory.

These three places are all famous for their springs. These three hot springs are famous in France and protected by the government. But they are owned by the government, and cosmetics companies only have the right to use them.

La roche-posay is the largest, receiving 65,438+00,000 guests every year, accounting for about 50% of the total number of French spa treatments.

Aven and Vichy are both younger. The size mentioned here is not good or bad, but the scale of hot spring water. Moreover, the number of guests admitted each year is determined by the government, but the problems treated are different.

The first is the well-known brand-Vichy.

Vichy brand was founded in 193 1, and its selling point is the hot spring water in Vichy town. Vichy has just entered China.

It is a very professional pharmaceutical product. Dr. Vichy in a white coat often does activities and answers some skin care questions. However, I think Vichy is not so much professional as healthy.

Except for Vicky, which is sold in pharmacies, Vicky is no different from ordinary skin care products.

Although hot spring water has a certain maintenance effect on the skin, how much effect can it have on the whole skin, even if it is tens or hundreds of milliliters of hot spring water? Vichy's hot spring water is sulfuric acid hot spring, which is more suitable for healthy skin. In addition, no matter from the product structure or raw material composition, Vicky's "medical" characteristics are basically invisible, and Vicky has no positive solutions to some skin diseases. Although Vichy also has a series for problem skin, according to many users' feedback, it is not much different from ordinary brand acne products (of course, some people have used it very effectively). In a sense, Vichy is basically a healthy skin care product under the guise of "medicine". On the other hand, Vichy's hot spring water contains the most minerals and trace elements (17 minerals and 13 trace elements, with the content as high as 5000mg/L), especially rich in calcium, copper, iron, sodium and manganese, which can promote the regeneration and healing of epidermal and dermal molecules and "strengthen" the natural protective barrier of skin; It can also enhance the catalase activity of skin by 20%, naturally resist free radicals and keep skin young and energetic, but sensitive skin is not strong. If you have a clear positioning of Vichy and don't have much hope for it, this is also a good brand. Brands of L 'Oré al Group like to exchange needed goods, so personally, some products of Vichy are almost the "drugstore packaging version" of Lancome, but their prices are much lower than Lancome's. Vichy's cleaning, basic moisturizing and sun protection products are still well received. For young MM with no skin problems, Vichy is still a good choice.

As another pharmacy brand of L 'Oré al Group, la roche-posay's popularity and the number of customers are far less than her classmate Vichy's, and even she has just entered Yang Ya, China. So far, la roche-posay is only available in a few cities in China.

From 65438 to 0975, several dermatologists established la roche-posay LRP Pharmaceutical Company, and began to develop dermatological medical products rich in la roche-posay, and then continued to the daily care and even make-up of problem skin.

1989 was acquired by L 'Oré al Group. With a strong medical background, la roche-posay's products are not limited to health and skin care.

But it goes deep into the field of adjuvant treatment of acne, atopic dermatitis and poor tolerance. All la roche-posay products are formulated and produced according to the standard formula of medicine G.M.P, which ensures the safe use of various skin problems and pays attention to "supreme efficacy"-even la roche-posay spray is specially designed as a high-pressure nozzle to stimulate the skin to absorb better.

The contents of minerals, bicarbonate, calcium and silicate in hot springs in la roche-posay are low, which can reduce the irritation to damaged skin. Selenium content is the highest in all hot spring water. This mineral has been proved to prevent free radicals from invading the skin, and has obvious anti-free radical and anti-aging effects, mainly for young and middle-aged people. Therefore, la roche-posay's curative effect is first reflected in the treatment of psoriasis, burns and scars, and then it is found that it is also effective for eczema and hereditary allergy. La roche-posay's hot spring water is carbonated hot spring water, which is more suitable for problem skin than Vichy's sulfuric acid hot spring water. It contains a unique ingredient "selenium", which has the characteristics of relieving and accelerating wound healing. Many product design concepts of this brand are higher than other brands of L 'Oré al Group. For example, Duorongan series makeup remover lotion does not contain emulsifier. Although this formula is not necessarily good, at least the problem of skin irritation caused by emulsifier is noticed. Some people really need emulsifier-free cleaning products. There are many brands that advertise "gentleness", but how many of them are serious? La roche-posay publicizes that its Duorongan series can be used after laser surgery. How many "gentle" brands can guarantee this?

The ingredients of a sunscreen in la roche-posay, Mexryol XL, Mexryol SX, Parsol 1798 and TiO2, are all very good ingredients. Lancome's sunscreen is only that small, but the price may be several times that of la roche-posay. Maybe big brands have spent money on advertising and publicity. Some skin care products in pharmacies have strong ingredients. Activity C of la roche-posay Anti-aging Series uses 5% L- vitamin C, but I fainted the first time I saw it. Taiwan Province Province also sells 100% active VC and 2% acid in small bottles, which can be used as N Lancome whitening essence. Of course, the most important thing to use this dd is safety, so you must pay attention to it yourself.

★ It should be mentioned that all the products of la roche-posay are designed for various skin problems (except sunscreen series). For MM with healthy skin, it is unnecessary and the comfort is not high. But for problem skin MM, it is really a good choice. There are not many brands of pharmacies in China, and the prices in la roche-posay are reasonable, which is worth considering. Of course, if you have skin diseases, you should first choose medication, and any skin care products can only play an auxiliary role.

Yayang hot spring water once became the imperial hot spring in Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte, and was also sent to the United States to treat patients burned in the Chicago fire. A few days ago, a 9-year-old China boy with severe AD (atopic dermatitis) was sent to the French spa in Yang Ya. Stop using all drugs, and only care with Yang Ya living spring water, Yang Ya soap-free moisturizing cleansing gel and triple moisturizing cream. After 3 weeks, according to worldwide ADSCORAD evaluation, the AD symptoms of small patients improved by 60%. The hot spring water in Yang Ya has special activity during its formation for more than 40 years. Its salt content is very low (14mg/L), and the contents of minerals and trace elements (207mg/L) are unique and balanced, which has natural soothing, anti-irritating and anti-inflammatory effects. Rich in silicon dioxide, it can form a smooth and transparent protective film on the skin surface, help resist external stimuli, and even gently care for wounds.

The main component of hot spring water in Yang Ya is selenium, which is a mineral that can thicken the skin water quality film. Generally, the water quality film of skin is intact, but when you use improper skin care products, the water quality film will be artificially destroyed, and the skin is easily damaged and sensitive. Therefore, Yang Ya's products are suitable for people with sensitive skin, but people who are not allergic often don't thicken their skin after the water film is restored, and the ingredients of cosmetics will not be absorbed later.

★ Therefore, Yang Ya skin care products rich in Yang Ya living spring water only focus on the care of all kinds of allergic/sensitive skin, helping to repair and rebuild fragile and damaged skin.

Natural protective barrier-water lipid film. This is very suitable for MM with sensitive and fragile skin.

Finally, make a summary:

Vichy's strengths: moisturizing and sun protection.

◆ la roche-posay's strengths: oil control and acne removal, sensitive skin care and photoaging skin care.

Avon's strengths: poor tolerance, care of dehydrated skin, especially dry/atopic dermatitis skin.
