Vichy Laboratoires Minéral 89 Booster Quotidient Fortifiant et Repulpant  (Minéral 89 Fortifying and Plumping Daily Booster) is described as a lightweight, fast-absorbing, and 100% transparent face moisturiser which is said to leave the skin feeling comfortable, toned, softer and hydrated with a non-greasy, non-sticky and non-shiny finish.

According to the Manufacturer, this formula is powered by a combination of “Natural Origin Hyaluronic Acid + 89% Vichy Thermal Mineralizing Water”*.

The product is claimed to “hydrate and plump the skin”, “instantly strengthen the skin’s barrier function” and “act as a protective shield against pollution”*.

From a formulation point of view, this product is based on a combination of few ingredients.

The formula is enriched with Vichy Mineralising Thermal Water, which is claimed by the Manufacturer to be extracted from the “depths of the French volcanoes and charged with 15 minerals”*.

PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin is probably one of the most interesting ingredients used in this product.
