Vichy ProEVEN Night First Impression

  Last week I received this Vichy ProEVEN Night sample, coupon and info card in the mail.  I decided to use the sample as an overnight treatment.  I cleansed my face with my usual Bare Face Cleansing Oil from Julep.  I applied the ProEVEN Night sample on face and neck making sure to avoid eyes and lips as per the instructions.  Unfortunately this product has a very perfumey smell.  After an hour on my face, it’s feeling very smooth, but I can still smell it.  In the morning I washed my face using my Botanical Effects Cleanser from Mary Kay.  My skin doesn’t feel any different or look any different than before I used the ProEVEN Night, but I think one would have to use it for a longer period of time to see whether it worked or not.

Product Claims and How to Use from http://www.en.vichy.ca/Ranges/ProEVEN/r200.aspx : “Vichy’s 1st dark spots overnight concentrate, with skin resurfacing and brightening effect from the 1st morning, and effective reduction on the look of dark spots in 4 weeks.  Hydroquinone-free and paraben-free.”

“Combine 2 different application methods for boosted results:

1. Use every night as a NIGHT TREATMENT applying a thin layer on cleansed face.
2. Use once or twice a week as a MASK, following these steps:
a. Apply in thick layer all over a cleansed face.
b. Allow product to infuse into the skin for 5 minutes.
c. Remove excess with cotton pad.”

Pros: Can be used daily as a night treatment or as a mask.  I have a coupon for $5.00 off.

Cons: I really don’t like being able to smell my skin care products while they are on my face and this product smells like a heavy flowery perfume.  I only had enough for one treatment and don’t feel or see a difference.
