The composition of all antiperspirants meets high pharmaceutical standards and does not contain components harmful to the body.
Also, the products undergo strict dermatological control and, judging by the reviews of Vichy deodorants, with regular use they can cure hyperhidrosis.

According to reviews, Vichy deodorants can be used not only for the armpits, but also for the palms, legs, and under the chest. For convenient use, the manufacturer produces sweat products in three forms: roller, aerosol, cream stick.
The range is represented by the following drugs:

Deodorante mineral
The formula based on mineral deodorant is a whole cocktail of substances necessary for the skin, supported by the presence of Vichy thermal water.
The product contains neither alcohol, nor aluminum salts, nor parabens. But there is magnesium, which absorbs excess moisture, while maintaining the purity and dryness of the armpits. Calcium is needed to strengthen the epidermis and soothe the skin after hair removal and shaving. Chlorine with bicarbonates maintains an acid-base balance in the tissues, and sodium produces a moisturizing effect.
Also, the composition of the deodorant is supplemented with panthenol (vitamin B 5 ) - this is the most healing component. Its presence makes the product relevant for irritations and cuts in the armpits.
As an additional ingredient, Vichy laboratory specialists used zinc gluconate, which is designed to neutralize an unpleasant odor and produce an antibacterial effect.
Reviews about Vichy mineral deodorant are mostly positive. Buyers note that the anti-sweat remedy copes with the task, does not leave marks on clothes, does not create a sticky feeling on the skin, and also has a pleasant floral-citrus aroma.
The only negative is that the product does not work for 48 hours, as indicated on the package, but a maximum of 12.
The main question to the manufacturer of Vichy deodorant without aluminum
Reviews of the new product literally flooded all kinds of forums and social networks. In this regard, the specialists of the French company answered two most frequently asked questions:
1. Why did Vichy brand decide not to use a chemical element?
Previously, all antiperspirants contained aluminum salts that penetrated into the glands, came into contact with sweat, and then formed on the skin a substance like a gel that prevents the release of moisture. Despite the effectiveness, the technology brought a lot of troubles: the ducts of the sweat glands clogged to such an extent that allergies arose and pustules appeared in the armpit. Now the brand uses hydrochloride, hypochlorite or organic metal salts, which also form a gel, but in this case it is more mobile and soft.
2. Some consumers in their reviews of Vichy deodorants without aluminum salts claim that the product is not effective for hyperhidrosis. Is it really?
Unfortunately, this is partially true. A feature of Deodorante Mineral is its combination of tolerance and effectiveness in the fight against bad odor. Therefore, the novelty is more suitable for allergy sufferers, owners of sensitive skin and those who have recently done hair removal.
Stress resist
Reviews about Vichy Antistress deodorant claim that the product continues to perform its functions, even if a person is experiencing severe emotional stress. The effect is achieved due to the presence of Perspicalm and ultra-absorbing minerals in the complex. Working together, both formulas regulate the functioning of the sweat glands in the event of a stressful situation.
The drug can be used not only for the treatment of axillary hollows, but also for feet. The ball applicator will allow you to quickly apply the product, and the unique formula is absorbed almost instantly, without leaving a sticky film on the skin.
The packaging indicates that the product works for 72 hours. However, according to reviews, the Vichy deodorant from sweating has an accumulating effect, that is, with regular use, its effectiveness only increases.
Sensitive Anti-Transpirant
In addition to its direct responsibility, the ball antiperspirant has a calming effect, provides the sensitive dermis with comfort and a feeling of freshness, allowing it to remain healthy and soft.
Thanks to the alcohol-free formula and various perfume additives, the product is hypoallergenic. The composition also includes thermal water, due to which the softness of the skin is achieved, the protective properties of the epidermis are improved and all inflammations heal.
A special amino complex allows the ball antiperspirant to combat the feeling of discomfort. The active ingredient is an extract of white water lily, giving the remedy tonic, relaxing and antiseptic properties.
Anti-Transpirant Treatment Creme
Based on numerous reviews of Vichy deodorants, we can safely say that this particular product format is the most popular of the entire series. The main function of the product is to protect against unpleasant odor and sweat for a long time. Product development was carried out for several years, as experts sought to create a deodorant that will provide a quick and effective result after the first application. Empirically, it was proved that Vichy 7 Days is able in 2 use for seven days to get rid of the problem of severe sweating.
The tool resembles a thick cream. Such a structure does not provoke the occurrence of irritation, protects the armpits from excessive dryness and is suitable for all skin types. Like many products, "7 days" is based on thermal water. The product is available in a volume of 30 ml.
Vichy 7 Days cream is a specialized tool, which means that before use you need to carefully read the instructions enclosed in the package and follow it.
Scheme of application: to achieve the desired result, it is recommended to apply the cream for 4 days in a row in the first week, 3 days in the next week, and then 1-2 times. For example, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Reviews about Vichy cream-deodorant assure that the first effect will become noticeable after three days, which is an excellent achievement for world cosmetology.
So, what is the long positive result from the use of the product?
- It does not cause allergies, which means it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- It has a powerful corrective effect: the main components are so small that they can penetrate deeply into the epidermis and faster affect the functioning of sweat glands, reducing their activity.
- The creamy texture allows the deodorant to better eliminate unpleasant odors, as it helps to reduce the amount of secretion secreted.
Vichy homme
The remedy for sweat was created specifically for the stronger sex, taking into account their needs. Therefore, the ball antiperspirant is presented in two versions: 48 and 72 hours of protection.
According to a few, but still available reviews, the men's deodorant Vichy Homm guarantees:
- freshness even in stressful situations;
- good tolerance to owners of a sensitive dermis;
- caring effect: reduction of irritation, inflammation and hydration.
The formula of the two products is enriched with ultra-absorbent substances that prevent the formation of sweat and unpleasant odors. Light consistency promotes rapid absorption of deodorant, does not create a sticky film and leaves no residue on clothing fabrics.
Deodorant Anti-Transpirant Spray
Those who are faced with excessive sweating, but want to combine protection with an unobtrusive aroma, laboratory experts recommend paying attention to the regulatory deodorant "Vichy".
Reviews emphasize that the product retains freshness in the armpit area for 24 hours. In addition, many noticed: with each new week of regular use, the sweating process gradually returned to normal.
The active substance is the amino complex of plant origin. Its task is to regulate excessive sweating. In addition, the substance soothes the epidermis and relieves irritation.
