Most Helpful Positive Review Great moisturizer with Sunscreen Unfortunately, I didn't put much thought into protecting my skin while I was younger. Now that I'm getting older and starting to see signs of sun damage, I take protecting my skin from the sun's rays seriously. I've had a very difficult time finding a moisturizer with sunscreen that works for me. There is always something I don't like about the product, either it's too heavy, it makes me look washed out, it makes my skin greasy or something else. I've been using Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 30 for about 3 weeks now and I've had a great experience so far. Normally, I would layer my moisturizer and a sunscreen, so I love that this does the job of both products in one. This moisturizer has a very smooth, creamy texture and is not too thick like other sunscreen products I've used. It applies evenly and is very lightweight on the skin. When I first put it on, my skin appears a bit shiny. However, within a few minutes, after the product has fully absorbed, that shiny appearance goes away completely. My skin doesn't feel greasy, oily or sticky at all afterwards. It also doesn't make my skin appear lighter or cause a white cast like I've experienced with other sunscreen products. It does have a very mild sunscreen scent, but I actually like the way it smells. It leaves my skin looking and feeling soft, smooth & hydrated. Overall, I am very pleased with this Vichy moisturizer sunscreen. I love that it's not heavy on my skin, it provides ultimate hydration, and most importantly, it protects my skin from the damaging effects of the sun. I will absolutely be purchasing another bottle when this one runs out. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if other moisturizer + sunscreen products haven't worked for you. Like me, you may be surprised to find it a good fit!
Most Helpful Critical Review Disappointed I was really excited when I saw that I was going to receive this product. However as soon as I opened it I noticed that the first ingredient listed was Avobenzone. I do not like using products with this ingredient as it's listed by the Environmental Workinh Group as a dirty ingredient. I did try it since I agreed to and the product is okay. It's very thin and did not stop by forehead from burning. I'm not sure that 48 hour hydration is a selling point as I wash and moisturize daily and it requires reapplication every 2 hours. Overall this is a miss. Too many dirty ingredients.

I liked the product. It has nice texture. Creamy not sticky at all. And the smell is lighter than most sunscreens. The protection was good too! No burns here and I used it when it was a 119 degrees here.
Great for every day use 4
Elexa from MA
This moisturizer is light enough for every day use. I wear it all day and don't feel greasy or anything. I have sensitive skin and have not had any sort of reaction at all.
Awesome Product! 5
AJ from Arizona
Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 30 is an awesome product. It moistures the skin while protecting it from harmful rays while working and/ or having fun in the sun. It is easily absorbing and doesn't leave a gray or white caste when applied. It last all day. I recommend this product to anyone!
Smooth 5

it worked great! Went on smooth, no unpleasant scent.
Amazing! 5
Joanna from San Diego
I have been searching for a moisturizer that does it all and this is it! It is so light weight and non greasy. I love using it on its own or under my makeup. It is a game changer in skin care because it accomplished two things at once.
Skin felt softer 5
Creolekisses from Houston, Texas
After trying my complimentary Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 30, I felt a difference in my skin. My skin felt much smoother than normal. I noticed a glow. Not much of a smell. I love the sunscreen feature.
Here's the tea! 4
Des from Chicago, IL
OK so I love this sunscreen! It is super easy to apply, a lil bit goes a long way, and it's a great substitute as a primer for my makeup! The only downside is that you MUST wear a moisturizer under it otherwise if your skin is anything like my skin your face will be dry and oily at the same time! But for its intended use, especially all over the body, it has become a staple in my morning line up and a total must have for these final summer days.
Awesome product! 4
Jen from Cincinnati
This is a great product! I love how it makes my skin look and feel. It feels so light and fresh on my face!! I love how it moistures and protects my face!
A little heavy 4
Nikki from TX
It smells like a typical sunscreen. I guess because it was a moisturizer I expected it to be lighter. Instead it was very heavy.
Love it! 5
Ashley from Tampa
I get sunburned very easily on my face and this was great at preventing that! It's not oily and was great for my skin!
Great Moisturizing Sunscreen! 5
Nikki from Brooklyn, NY
I finally got to try this out when I headed to the beach last week and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it felt on my skin. It wasn't greasy or sticky like many sunscreens, but felt like a really quality moisturizer. The bottle is a gorgeous blue, and easy to pump out the perfect amount of product.
I applied it when I got there and after an hour or so, my face stayed soft and didn't turn red from the sun, so I'd say it worked very well! I love how portable it is and would keep this in my bag just in case I find myself sitting out in the sun for an extended period of time.
Vichy Mousterizer/Sunscreen 4

I recieved this Vichys Aqualia Thermal UV Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 30 for an honest review and went ahead and tried it out against quite a few I have and I have to say I'm was quite impressed but only gave it 4 stars due to I've only been using it for a week so cant say in the long run if it helps as a skincare product. I loved that when first applied it wasnt funny or too thick like some. Also it did not smell like sunscreen it had a very faint smell. When you apply it feels very moisturizing almost like water and smooths out easily no rubbing and rubbing like sunscreens. Afterwards it almost feels like a primer but also feels like nothing after a very short time which I appreciate. I went ahead and applied 2 different foundations to see if it would interfere with them and nope nothing which us also a plus for me. Looking at the ingredients I notice it contains Niacinamide and Viramin E which will help balance out oil so it is good for all skin types plus helps with the look of pores which I definitely need. So far I would repurchase it and recommend t ok others if they are looking for a moisturize ring sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy, smell, or nterfere under makeup. Another plus is this brand can be found in stores which makes it very convenient to us shoppers.

Minimal feel maximum effect 5
NavVet from St louis
It was so light weight but made me feel fully protected!!
A great sunscreen 4
Venus from Jersey
This is a great sunscreen, the texture is creamy and doesn't feel greasy. It does leave a slightly shiny film. But I have oily skin prone to acne so almost every sunscreen makes me break out. If your skin is normal to dry this will be amazing for you. Even for oily skins as long as you are not acne-prone. The bottle is really nice and the dispenser gives the right amount needed in 2 pumps for the whole face and neck. The price is very good as this feels like a very expensive sunscreen.
My mom has normal skin and she loved it, didn't leave a while film, or left her face oily or shiny. I have recommended this to some friends as well and they all liked it.
Great Product! Love it!! 5
Elly from Chula Vista
It is smooth on the skin. It definitely gives moisture to your skin without been too creamy or thick since it has SPF in it. I love that your killing 2 birds with 1 stone in having a moisturizer and SPF! The consistency not too thick to blend into your skin and leaves a perfect canvas for your foundation. Love it!
Pretty good 4
Swade625 from Houston
Overall I am pleased it had sort of a weird greasy feel afterwards for a few minutes but after that it seem to work well I have only been using for a week so I don't have a lot to go on
Love this!! 5
Sumer from Pennsylvania
First off, I love the smell of this product! No weird sunscreen smell, and it didn't leave my skin feeling greasy at all. It smelled refreshing and was super light. I definitely recommend this product!
Glowing Results 5
Zippydoo from Wisconsin
This moisturizer/sunscreen does not disappoint. Goes on smooth, moisturizes, and does not leave a white cast on your face. My skin is moist and dewy that I glow! Any lines I have are plumped and smooth making me look younger. The fragrance is also light and pleasant. I received this moisturizer to sample for free. I would have never considered this moisturizer before this, but I will purchase once I run out and try other products in the line.
Sheer sunscreen SPF 4
MomBlogger from Philadelphia. PA
I used Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 30 during the last two weeks and saw a significant decrease in burns. The creame is smooth and doesn't feel thick like other sunscreen. My only disappointment is that the creame isnt waterproof to support longer outdoor wear.
Finally a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my face 5
Katie from SC
I have rosecea which means my skin just doesn't like some products. Most sunscreens either don't work or irritate my skin until it feels like it is on fire. This sunscreen / moisturizer not only protected my face from the blazing sun, my face also feels softer and smoother. I have used the product for a full week and it is gentle enough not to irritate my skin in the slightest. I also like that the moisturizer quickly absorbs into the skin so I'm not waiting forever to apply make up. The scent was light and pleasant. Overall this is a quality product that I will reach for on a daily basis.
Renewed Skin! 5
Bernadette P. from Wilkes-Barre
Oil-free, soothing translucent feel glides effortlessly over all the face avoiding greasiness. Skin appears renewed, leaving a lasting glow. Simple to use it and straightforward in using directions. I noticed any difference pretty quickly. Game changer for my skin, 41-year-old skin.
Moisturizing SPF 5
Deb from California
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I wasn't used to the scent at first but I have to say it's growing on me 😍. Smells terrific & moisturizers very well and love that it has SPF!
Great moisturizer 5
Ray from Texas
This moisturizer is wonderful! It is light and doesn't feel stuck when applied. The cream disappears into the skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth. It doesn't feel sticky like most sunscreen and it doesn't have an overwhelming scent either. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family!
Absorbs quickly and completely! 5
PerfectlyImperfect from Memphis,TN
I love this moisturizing sunscreen. It is light and thin and absorbs very quickly. I love that it does not have a thick, cakey feel. It is also one of the only facial sunscreens that does not irritate or burn my eyes!!! Huge plus for that. After a few hours my skin does get kind of oily but I have somewhat oily skin anyway. Oh, and did I mention how much I love the GLASS bottle with pump dispenser?!?!? Beautiful!!
