Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I've been using the Vichy LiftActiv Supreme face moisturiser for roughly 3 weeks now, every day in the mornings and I'm really happy with it, my skin is very dry and this moisturiser is really soothing and hydrating without leaving my skin greasy, and the skin feels and looks healthy and fresh for most of the day, the product also smells really nice. I'll definitely use it again once this tub finishes and recommend it to my friends.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
My skin looks fresher and that makes me feel better.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Maybe a nicer package design and a lower price.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
This is a good cream, it glides on easily and I think has made a very slight difference to some fine lines. It has left my skin soft, absorbs very easily but I have noticed mid-afternoon my face seems shiny. Not greasy just has sheen in certain areas. The smell is slightly off putting, a little plastic. You do not need much and it goes a long way.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Vichy LiftActiv Supreme brightens my skin and absorbs well so I can apply power straight on top and it gives my skin a nice freshness
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I think the fragrance could be better, I would prefer something fresher or more natural and less artificial.

I really liked this Vichy LiftActiv Supreme cream. The packaging design looks luxurious but also has the practicality of being plastic and therefore no risk of smashing if dropped. The smell is nice but not too strong or overpowering. When I opened the jar I was concerned that it might be too thick but it very easily sank into my skin and didn't feel oily at all.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
After 3 weeks of using it's difficult to say I can see a dramatic difference but the cream is fighting against sleep deprivation. It feels lovely and my makeup goes on nicely over this. In the chaos of coping with a newborn and toddler having a little bit of luxury is a nice way to start the day.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
There isn't anything on the packaging that says what sun protection factor the Vichy LiftActiv Supreme cream is this makes me think that it doesn't have any protection and it is therefore something I would change. There is also a sweet taste from the cream which isn't unpleasant just something I haven't experienced with other creams.
Tested by mum Lucy Evans for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
This product is great! When I first applied he cream I thought it was too thick and wouldn't get on with it, but soon after applying it, it had absorbed into my skin making it extremely soft and smooth. I would highly recommend this product to other mums, it is a little pricey but the results have so far been fantastic.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
When you have a new born/baby/toddler anything that makes you feel better is worth it! It is easy to use in a tub therefore being able to get as much out of it as possible! The results of the cream means makeup is easy to apply soon after it has been applied as it absorbs into my skin quickly.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
It could be easier in a stand up tube with a flip lid rather than a screw top. Again, having a little one, quickness is essential, so being able to just flip a lid rather than screw a top it would be quicker to use.
Tested by mum Shilo Moody for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
This cream is lovely and ticks all the boxes. It has a nice fragrance and applies smoothly and evenly to the skin. It doesn't feel thick and heavy or greasy and absorbs easily leaving your skin soft to the touch and works well underneath makeup. I had only used this product for just over a week and friends were commenting on how well I was looking which is impressive as I'm run ragged with 5 month old twins and a 3 year old!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
As it leaves your skin feeling hydrated, refreshed and smooth it allows for easy application of makeup and does not feel heavy even in sensitive areas like around the eyes. Its quick to apply, absorbs really well and leaves you feeling like your skin looks ten times better than it did before you put the cream on. It's a simple step you can add to your beauty regime without taking up precious time.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
A night version for people who have really dry skin or haven't really looked after their skin properly and need the extra boost. Or a fragrance free version (if that's possible?).
