I recently went to Duane Reade where they have just introduced a slew of mid-range price point products including ones from Vichy and La Roche Posay as part of their skin care centers. I spent a good hour speaking with one of the center consultants (consultations are free), and got some tips about which products would be best for my skin based on my concerns and based on the results of a free skin analysis the consultant did (they use a slender stick that is lightly placed on various parts of the face to measure skin hydration, and where blackheads, acne, wrinkles and such are forming). I would highly recommend the consultation. The staff is surprisingly very knowledgeable and you can never loose when it comes to learning more about the health of your skin!
I was also introduced to a new collection of products from Vichy — the LiftActiv CxP line. Targeted to those that are 40+, the line’s products are meant to improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles while hydrating and smoothing the skin. Like all Vichy products, everything has gone through extensive testing prior to being released (Vichy tests their products on a range of skin types so their products are proven to work no matter your ethnicity), and the skin improvement stats are pretty impressive (78% of women found their skin to be instantly smoothed; 88% found their skin tauter and 91% felt their skin was softer).
