Quick Review: Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot Targeted Spot Treatment!

I'm a huge fan of the Vichy Normaderm skincare range, designed especially for acne-prone or extra oily skin. Their moisturiser is my staple and lifesaver, so when the new spot treatment was released, I was excited to try it out!

Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot Targeted Fast Acting Care is a spot treatment, meant to be applied to an appearing or existing blemish or pimple. It uses hyaluronic acid to create a protective barrier around the surface of the skin where it's applied, a 'bandage effect' to shield the sensitive area against external toxins. That can be really important when you have an inflamed blemish, because more oil and dirt from the outside world will just make it worse! It also uses antibacterial technology by utilising ingredients like salicylic acid and LHA to reduce the appearance of pimples by getting right to the source of the inflammation.

Vichy promises results in just 48 hours; it's designed to diminish the appearance of imperfections and marks more quickly than most spot treatments, while also making sure that the blemish doesn't leave a scar. For people with pale or lighter skin, acne scarring can be a huge problem, as red marks stand out and can take months, or even years, to fade.

Normaderm Hyaluspot spot treatment is hypo-allergenic, paraben and silicone free, as well as non-comedogenic, absolute musts for those with sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin. Vichy definitely got the ingredients right! While I don't usually get pimples, every now and then I need a spot treatment to help take care of the odd blemish. If using this products means that I don't get acne scars every time a pimple shows up, I'm absolutely all for it.

I've had the chance to try this out a couple times now, and I'm impressed. Once applied, it works quickly. It's absorbed into the skin quite easily, as long as you don't apply too much, and you can really forget that it's there. I recommend application at night, so that you don't have to worry about makeup application or the product rubbing off. Whenever I apply this before bed, I always wake up to clearer skin - the blemish looks less inflamed, red, and prominent. And the claim about less scarring? It really does seem to work - the pimple fades easily and gently, never getting infected to the point where it erupts and leaves a red scar. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that the product can be quite drying, as all spot treatments can be, so use it sparingly and only directly on the area where you need it most. Applying over a light, gel moisturiser is another tip that works for me.

Bottom line? A little dryness for half a day is a small price to pay for a product that easily takes away a blemish and leaves behind no scar. It's like it speeds up the natural healing process! And because the pimple heals so quickly, you can easily moisturise the area where you applied the spot treatment, without worrying about irritation. If you have oily skin, with even the odd pimple, I'd recommend a purchase. Everyone needs an overnight pimple miracle - you never know when it might come in handy! I feel more confident just knowing that this is a part of my skincare stash.
