Caudalie (Skincare)

A bestselling gel-cream to intensely moisturize and calm dehydrated, irritated skin.

This cult classic gel-cream deeply hydrates, soothes, and softens all skin types—even the hypersensitive ones. Powered by Caudalie's organic grape water and patented grape-seed polyphenols, this cream not only provides hydration, but it also protects the skin from free-radicals, which causes wrinkles. This formula is rich in Vinolevure® to strengthen skin to become less sensitive and more resilient over time.

HOW TO USE

Morning and evening, apply on cleansed face and neck.

Tip: For best results, use this product in conjunction with the Vinosource Moisturizing Cream-Mask (used twice a week).

Spa Tip: Store your Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet in the refrigerator for an intense feeling of freshness and coolness.

THOUGHTS

I initially got this as a sample to try. Sephora had it as a birthday sample option...last year? I think it was last year. Anwho, after trying it I really liked it, so I got a full sized tube of it and have continued to enjoy using it.

It really is a gel cream. It looks like a cream coming out of the tube, but once you feel it...it definitely feels, applies and behaves like a gel moisturizer. It's got that lightweight slippery gel texture that I love, that allows it to glide on and apply to the skin beautifully. It also absorbs quickly and it doesn't leave you feeling like you've got skincare on your face, which I appreciate and why I'm fan of this and gel moisturizers in general.

While I did find this to be hydrating/moisturizing and feel like it left my skin soft and smooth and with a bit of a healthy glow....would I repurchase this again? Depends. I don't see myself repurchasing this anytime soon, but I could see myself perhaps getting this again down the line if it were on sale.

If it were much cheaper, than I would probably buy it and use it more often, but considering the price I'm gonna have to say I still prefer Youth to the People and Nooni over this one, but it's still a great product that does it's job and I still enjoyed using it...I just don't think there's anything particularly special about it to warrant the expensive price tag.

If I'm looking to spend my money and indulge then I would rather purchase Youth to the People's Superfood Air-Whip Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Cream: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2017/05/youth-to-people-skincare.html, which is even pricier than this one, but I like it better. I think it's even more lightweight and got an even better formula than this one. This one is great, but Youth to the People is FANTASTIC. I love that stuff.

Also, If I'm not looking to splurge and want something more budget friendly, than I would rather use Nooni's Facial Cream: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/nooni.html. That one's still not cheap, but it's definitely a lot cheaper than this one, so there's still a nice price gap...depending on which version you get and from where I think the Nooni is like half the price of this one...but if you still want to give this a whirl by all means. Again, it is a great product that does it's job, but it's just more expensive than it needs to be in my opinion.
