Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer SPF 30

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer is a lightweight daily moisturizer that keeps skin wonderfully hydrated while offering a broad spectrum SPF 30. This all-in-one SPF moisturizer has a high enough SPF that I do not feel the need to use another sunscreen, but I do have to reapply it every 80 minutes as I would with a regular sunscreen. This is a chemical sunscreen– using Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 5%,  Octisalate 5% and  Octocrylene 7%– therefore, if you prefer physical sunscreens then you probably won't want to use this French Pharmacy favorite.

This lotion is non-sticky, it leaves behind no white residue and it leaves skin radiate, soft, smooth and protected. It does have a light, nondescript, aroma, but it does fade quickly.

According to Vichy,

A lightweight, daily SPF 30 moisturizer providing long lasting 48 hour dynamic hydration and broad spectrum protection from harmful UVA / UVB rays, which can cause skin damage and premature skin aging. 

Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen provides 48 hour dynamic hydration, smoothed fine lines, and daily protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays. Formulated with Vichy Mineralizing Water from the French volcanoes to fortify the skin barrier and protect it from daily exposome factors like lack of sleep & pollution.

This oil-free, refreshing lightweight texture glides easily over skin without stickiness. Skin appears less tired, leaving a healthy looking radiance. Paraben-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic.
