BB Score Breakdown

CriteriaWeightScore (Out of 100)Notes
Scientific Backing10%65While peptides and vitamin C are proven to have anti-aging benefits, the cream does not directly increase collagen production as claimed.
Ingredient Quality15%80High-quality ingredients include peptides and ascorbyl glucoside (a vitamin C derivative). However, collagen in the cream offers only hydration benefits, not skin rebuilding.
Efficacy25%70Users report improvements in skin hydration, firmness, and brightness, but results are subtle and take consistent use over time.
Safety15%85Dermatologist-tested and suitable for sensitive skin. Free of parabens and common irritants, but some users may react to fragrance.
Ease of Use10%90Cream absorbs well and works as a simple addition to morning or evening routines. Requires sunscreen during the day due to vitamin C.
Value for Money15%70Priced at ~$50, it offers a mid-range option for anti-aging, but comparable products with similar actives are available at a lower cost.
Brand Reputation10%80Vichy is a trusted dermocosmetic brand with a long-standing reputation for safe and effective skincare products.

Summary

  • BB Score: 76.3
  • Verdict: Good.
    Vichy LiftActiv Collagen Specialist Cream is a well-formulated, mid-range product with ingredients like peptides and vitamin C that can improve hydration, firmness, and brightness. While it supports anti-aging to an extent, its collagen claims are exaggerated, as topical collagen does not rebuild skin. This product is suitable for those seeking subtle improvements in skin texture and hydration.
