Im new to Vichy, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Some rich cream moisturizers leave my skin feeling overloaded and prone to breakouts, some dont. Vichy, fortunately, fell into the latter category. Not only does it moisturize without feeling heavy or greasy, but it also lasts. Dry spots around my nose and chin stayed hydrated and happy all day without making a reappearance after just a few hours. I love the mirror lid too. Its handy for when you're applying the product on the go and aren't near a mirror. If they make a lighter version of Aqualia Thermal I'd definitely buy it and reserve the rich version for a night moisturizer before bed.
