What Is Vichy LiftActiv?
The Fountain of Youth is a fictitious body of water that supposedly rejuvenates and restores the youth of anyone who bathes in it. While the search for this fairy tale continues, there have been plenty of natural ingredients found in the real world that do a great job of combating the most common signs of aging.
Vichy LiftActiv Night features a clinically proven ingredient called rhamnose. This naturally derived plant sugar is tough on the signs of aging but gentle on the skin. This 24-hour moisturizer leaves the skin feeling enriched while the exfoliating agents produce a softer, more radiant look.
The formula is thick and creamy in texture but remains non-sticky, non-greasy, and Paraben-free. This moisturizer was tested under dermatological control and is suitable for sensitive skin types.
Vichy LiftActiv Night retails for $50.00 per 1.7 oz. of product in stores and on online retailers’ websites. The price is pretty steep compared to competing anti-aging products.

Pros and Cons of Filorga Optim-Eyes Lotion
- This moisturizer is gentle enough for nightly use and thick enough that it provides long-lasting moisture.
- This product is noncomedogenic and non-greasy, meaning it is lightweight and will not clog pores.
- This moisturizer is made specifically for those with sensitive skin and is Paraben-free.
- This product provides anti-aging benefits and moisturizing benefits all in one.
- This product works overnight to combat the signs of aging by visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles and boosting skin’s firmness.
- Customer reviews indicate that this product is quickly absorbent, and does a good job of addressing dull skin and fine lines.
- This product is packaged in a jar, which is unhygienic.
- The packaging hinders the effectiveness of the plant-based ingredients and Vitamin C.
- The main active ingredient, rhamnose, was tested in vitro, which means the product was tested in-house, in a laboratory and it is not proven to work on actual people.
- $50.00 is rather steep for a product that does not include ingredients that are well known in the beauty community to combat signs of aging.
- Customer reviews indicate the scent of this product is very strong.
The Final Word
This gentle, non-comedogenic cream works overnight to combat dry skin, however, there are a few issues we’d like to raise before you consider purchasing. This cream contains 5% rhamnose, which is Vichy’s anti-aging solution. Unfortunately, the research Vichy provides is in vitro, meaning the research wasn’t actually performed on anyone’s skin. This one ingredient is not an all-encompassing solution for anti-aging, and it certainly can’t lift the skin over time. This product is also packed in a jar, which may become unhygienic over time and renders any plant-based ingredients ineffective over time. We’d recommend continuing your search for an anti-aging moisturizer, which contains well-researched ingredients in protective packaging.
