Ideal Soleil FAQs

Common questions about Ideal Soleil products and routines.

Which Vichy sunscreen suits oily or acne-prone skin?
The Capital Soleil SPF 50 Dry Touch Mattifying and the Mattifying Dry Touch BB are formulated with a matte, non-greasy finish, making them a better fit for oily or acne-prone skin than the richer milk or cream textures.
Can I reapply sunscreen over makeup during the day?
The Capital Soleil SPF 50+ Hydra Mist is designed for reapplication over makeup during the day, without needing to remove your base first. For the first application in the morning, use a full-coverage milk or cream underneath.
Is there a Vichy sunscreen made for children?
Yes. The Capital Soleil Kids Milk SPF 50 and Kids Spray SPF 50+ are formulated for children's skin. Apply generously before sun exposure and reapply after swimming, towel-drying or heavy sweating.
