I've been meaning to write a review on the range for some time now (I've been using it for over a month), but I wasn't sure as to what was hindering me until this morning when after taking a critical look at my skin, I finally came to a conclusion. Vichy created the Normaderm range to cater the imperfection-prone adult. By their definition, you qualify as a candidate and your skin displays the six major giveaways; blemishes, enlarged pores, excess sebum, excess shine, marks and uneven complexion. Since my skin ticked all of the mentioned 'signs of imperfection' above, I figured this would be the ideal range for me. This doesn't necessarily mean that the range is for oily skin types only as one can also have dry skin and produce shine- so I would categorise the range under Oily to Combination. Nothing in the extreme end of dehydration though as most of these products are supposed to be mattifying.
I bought these products when there was a 3 for 2 offer at Boots, and since I was running low on stocks at the time, I grabbed the opportunity to try something new. I only focused on moisturisers and the toner as I was happy with my cleansing regimen. I'll review the products I purchased individually to make consolidating the pro's and con's a little easier.

NORMADERM ANTI-AGEING RESURFACING CARE, £15 for 50ml
Now, I didn't get this cream because it's an anti-ageing product. I'm not really that fussed with wrinkles and lines just yet, mainly because I hardly see them. Perhaps a few laughter lines around my eye area but overall, I'm pretty good for the time being. It's all that fat on my face *har!* that's keeping everything tight and full (momma don't need no fillers!). Anyway, when I was reading the contents of the products, the key ingredients really stood out for me. Salicylic Acid, Glycolic and lipo-hydroxy (LHA) acids are great dermatological ingredients to help exfoliate the surface of the skin of dead skin cells, regulate oil and purify the pores. Also, Vitamin C is great at helping break down any discolouration to brighten and even out the complexion. These ingredients have become the key components that I look for in my skin care, and since this cream promised all of the above, I went for it and used it as my day cream.
