Of all the face moisturisers I’ve used for years, I’ve finally found one that I truly love using and it is none other than the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mat Hydrating Gel. It is quite a mouthful, but bear with me.
Previously I wrote a review on the essence from this same range, which is Vichy’s Aqualia Thermal Fortifying & Soothing Hydrating Concentrate. I absolutely love this essence and now I feel the same about the moisturiser too. I think this Aqualia Thermal range works for me and I’m planning on sticking to it for quite a long while 
Some information about this moisturiser extracted from Vichy’s site:
For the first time, a mattifying ultrafresh moisturizer combines the cellular hydra-mist of mineral-rich Vichy Thermal Spa Water, to help soothe and visibly fortify the skin, and Diakalite sebo-absorbing microspheres that regulate excess sebum to intensely mattify skin.
Tested under dermatological control. Fully hydrated, skin regains the freshness and radiance of a healthy complexion. Visibly transformed, it is matte, shine-free and silky-soft.
I fully agree with what’s said above. I truly enjoy the matt, shine-free and silk-like feeling on the skin after applying this moisturiser. This feels more hydrating than the Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care which I use as a day moisturiser.
I use this Aqualia Thermal Mat Hydrating Gel at night as recommended by the lady at Vichy’s counter. Since I love how this works and feels on my skin, I sometimes also use it as a day moisturiser just to give my skin an extra boost of hydration, especially if I know I will be outdoors a lot.
This liquid moisturiser is not too thick in texture and applies and absorbs very easily. I pump a very small amount, pea-sized to be exact, and that amount is sufficient to cover my face and leave it moisturised throughout many hours. The scent is mild and quite pleasant. I actually find the scent to be a good pick-me-up in the mornings.
You can find Vichy’s products quite easily, mostly at Guardian and Watson outlets. This 50ml of moisturiser costs RM100 if my memory serves me right. I definitely give this product a thumbs up and would recommend you to go for it too.

I am Vichy’s fan. Normaderm anti-imperfection hydrating care is my No.1 day cream! And this aqualia thermal gel is my No.2 night cream! I use Normaderm range in day time for sebum control and the Aqualia Thermal at night for hydration. Basically I have try almost all their products except for the lifting and body range. I am very satisfy with their skincares. yes this gel is selling at rm100 and now they are having roadshow frm 18Nov to this Sunday @ MidValley(in front of KFC).
