Cosmetics and personal care products are not required to be tested for safety before being allowed on the market. The Skin Deep® scoring system was designed to help the public understand whether a product is safe to use or whether it contains ingredients of concern.
Every product and ingredient in Skin Deep gets a two-part score – one for hazard and one for data availability. The safest products score well by both measures, with a low hazard rating and a fair or better data availability rating.
The Skin Deep ingredient hazard score, from 1 to 10, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED ® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
The Skin Deep data availability rating reflects the number of scientific studies about the product or ingredient in the published scientific literature.
Byrdie takes every opportunity to use high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles. Read our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we keep our content accurate, reliable and trustworthy.
The Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Serum was put to the test since I began using it a week out from a microchanneling treatment and my skin was still flaky. I haven’t always had the best results from hyaluronic products (I sometimes find them not as hydrating as they claim).
I was pleasantly surprised that this Vichy serum not only felt hydrating from the moment I applied it but by the next day my dry skin was gone.
The formula is safe to use on all skin types and can be applied near eyes and on lips—a feature I’m thankful for as I skip eye creams instead of using my usual products over my entire face.
Overall, I found the Vichy serum to hydrate my skin well without interfering with my usual skincare or makeup steps. I think most people will find it’s easy to incorporate into their routine.
The first time I used this serum was a few months before writing this Vichy Mineral 89 review. My skin is exceptionally sensitive to retinol serums, but I’m always swung by its promise of improved tone and texture, so I’d gradually been introducing it into my routine. Despite the twice-weekly applications my skin soon felt papery and raw, applying moisturizer only made it sting. The fact that Dr Anjali Mahto, a renowned London dermatologist who I regularly tap up for advice in features, recommends Vichy Mineral 89 was enough for me to get my head out of the gutter and to the drug store.
I loved the cool gel-like texture and how it left my skin soothed and full of moisture with only a few applications—although I do need to apply another serum over the top to address the horizontal lines that are starting to appear on my forehead and around my eyes.
I also think this serum would be perfect for anyone going through the menopause as skin gets both drier and more sensitive due to hormonal shifts. For those who are used to their hyaluronic acid serum virtually disappearing into their skin, I can imagine the slight tacky residue from Vichy Mineral 89 might be off-putting.
The glass bottle also doesn’t make it ideal for traveling, but overall, I think this serum is a dream for sensitive skin and unlike most products that cater for this skin type, the packaging actually looks premium on your bathroom shelf.
