Vichy Capital Soleil Mattifying 3-in-1 Sunscreen SPF50+

A Brief History of Vichy

Vichy thermal water, which the brand has used since 1996, forms the foundation of every Vichy product. The company was among the first to categorize its products by skin type, recognizing the different needs of its customers.

Product Overview

This is a "creamy, easy-to-apply sunscreen" that is photostable and equipped with broad-spectrum UV filters. It has a slightly matte finish, doesn't dry out the skin, and maintains the skin's natural appearance.

The cream "absorbs excess sebum and regulates shine," making it specifically developed for combination and oily skin types.

My Experience

Initially the product showed promise, but unfortunately it let me down: "the sunscreen pills and flakes," and after about an hour or two "it starts to crumble and peel off my face in patches." This is a serious drawback for an everyday sunscreen.

Where to Find It

Available at pharmacies, brand stores, and online retailers in Hungary (Derma Online, Notino, Unipatika). It's worth buying during promotional periods when discounts of 20–30% are possible.
