I travelled a lot on my work. And while I loved to carry an extensive skin care range with me it didn’t make sense. I wasn’t an efficient traveler if I was lugging around a huge bag everywhere I went. So I looked for multi-purpose products, which did the work well and didn’t irritate my sensitive mine. Having know about Vichy and how it works well on acne prone sensitive skin I picked up Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 Cleanser, Scrub & Mask.
The product claims to: “Ingredient Innovation: Combines resurfacing Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid and micro-exfoliating LHA to target imperfections and refine texture. Kaolin Clay helps draw oils and impurities from skin to leave complexion clear and mattified. Paraben-free.
Efficacy: Unique cleanser can be used in 3 different ways:
- As a cleanser: to remove impurities from skin
- As a scrub: to unclog pores and even skin texture
- As a mask: to control excess oil and leave skin mattified
Texture: Creamy texture foams with water. Without water, clay hardens to form a facial mask. Contains exfoliating micro-beads.
Tolerance: Soap-free. Alcohol-free. Allergy-tested. Suitable for sensitive skin. Tested under dermatological control.”

My Experience with Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 – Cleanser, Scrub & Mask
I have been using Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 – Cleanser, Scrub & Mask every time I travel and I find it a great multi-purpose product. Squeeze a little bit of the product on your fingertips and use it as a face wash or scrub or mask.
As a cleanser: It is a little thick and needs to be diluted with water to make it easy to work with. It cleanses the face well, and removes mild makeup. However, I am not comfortable using this over my eyes as it has scrubbing particles.
As a scrub: Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 is rather gentle as a scrub. Still I wouldn’t suggest using it everyday. Don’t expect it to have much effect on blackheads or whiteheads but it does help in cleansing the face well.
As a facemask: This is more of a tightening facemask. Just leave it on your face for about 5 minutes and wash off. My skin feels refreshed and tightened when I use this. It zaps oil from my face and oily skin loves it. But I still suggest using a mild moisturizer after using this as a mask. I have oily acne prone skin and this hasn’t broken out my skin.
The Good
- Effective multi-purpose product
- Reduces oil production
- Dries quickly in under 5 minutes
- Skin feels tight after using this mask
- Mild scrub so it doesn’t irritate inflamed skin
- Paraben free
- Cleanses face effectively and gives a refreshed feeling
The Bad
- Can be a little drying if used everyday
- Some may find it expensive
Overall verdict: 4.5 / 5
Price: Rs. 450/- for 50 ml

It sure is Khushi. It’s always in my travel kit.
This product sounds promising! But u said its drying so maybe it won’t be that good for winters. Loved your review 🙂
I wouldn’t advise it much. But a simple moisturiser will do the trick.
It’s great to have something you can trust on your skin while you travel!

Yes. And I am glad I found it.
Wow! A multi-purpose product. Good to read about this, but I am sceptical about using something with scrubbing particles over eyes.

I have used this before & I felt it was kind of average for the cost.It can be useful during travel as you have mentioned.

I haven’t tried their cleansing oil. Would love to try it.
Love such multi purpose products, makes life easy while travelling. Love the review 🙂
Thanks Swathi. Do you have any favourite skin care product that you carry along on your travels?
No favorite multi purpose product, I usually carry the same skincare products during travels but in smaller bottles/tub 🙂

Nice. I used to do that. But this made my job easier 😀
It sounds similar to Garnier Pure Active 3in1, it has similar qualities as you mentioned. Nice review.
Zubaida recently posted…The Body Shop Shea Body Butter, Best Moisturizer for Dry skin
Thanks Zubaida. Would love to try out the Garnier one as well. I am sure it will be a lot cheaper than Vichy.
Being Paraben free and multipurpose it will attract a lot of attention. Great product!!
You bet. Only down side is the price.
That was a very detailed review, although I haven’t tried this product from it seems promising! I’ll surely give it a whirl. Happy Diwali

If you have oily skin like me I’m sure you will love it.
I never tried a face wash-scrub-mask product. This sounds like a good way to start! Heard great things about Vichy products! xx

I like multi purpose products and this one sounds really good! I have oily skin so it being drying wouldn’t really bother me 🙂

Same here. I need products that zaps oil all year long and this fits the bill perfectly. What’s your favourite multi purpose product?

Good review Sangeeta.
Haseena recently posted…Mom & Baby Home Anniversary Giveaway 2015
It’s a nice product Haseena. I’ve been enjoying using this.
I was under the impression that since the texture is a bit creamy this would be more moisturizing but if it just provides a tightening effect than I think I will skip this one. Also could could you suggest any moisturizing face masks?
The Chicster Diaries recently posted…Kama Ayurveda Diwali gift box & Tulsi seed bombs
This isn’t moisturising. I have oily skin and tend to lean towards products that zap the oil, and I haven’t used many moisturising face masks. But I could suggest Vitamin E mask from TBS – the Vitamin E range adds that bit of moisture to the skin. Otherwise you can try some good homemade recipes – oatmeal, milk cream, a bit of turmeric and honey. This should help in plumping up the skin well.
Thanks for sharing Sangeeta. Sound great 🙂
Thanks Shwetali 🙂
I like this all-in-one concept because there are time when I am so occupied that an elaborate ritual becomes just so impossible.
I have never tried Vichy products before. Time I started with this one.
