Vichy Canada adds two new products to its acne-fighting Normaderm skincare range
Yes, adult acne is thing, and those zits and blemishes can continue well into our 30s, 40s, and even 50s. In fact, according to a recent press release from Vichy Canada, adult acne is a very common skin concern that affects more than four million Canadian women between the ages of 18 to 35. It’s also one of the top reasons for dermatologist visits here in Canada. To help correct problematic skin and prevent future breakouts, Vichy has poured its long-standing skincare expertise into two new product formulations in its Normaderm range, a line specifically formulated for oily and acne prone skin. Launched on May 20th and available on vichy.ca, the new oil-free additions include the Anti-Acne Cleanser ($20) made with anti-inflammatory salicylic acid, bacteria-fighting zinc and healing cooper, and the Anti-Acne Moisturizer ($30), which contains salicylic acid, plus hydrating hyaluronic acid and spot-fading vitamin C. Both suitable for sensitive skin, the products are also infused with Vichy’s signature French thermal water that’s beloved for rebalancing and strengthening the skin’s outer layer.
