Caudalie Vinosource Hydra Collection

Caudalie is a brand who will forever produce my favourite Toner to date with their Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner, a product I have used constantly since I was first introduced to it.  In recent months, there has been a few new releases from Caudalie which I have been trying out and today I am sharing the Caudalie Vinosource Hydra Range.
Caudalie Vinosource Hydra Collection
Vinosource-Hydra is marketed as being the range which comes to the rescue of sensitive skin, drawing its main active ingredients from the vine for hydrated skin, rich in moisture. So if your skin is looking dull, feeling tired and is a little bit red, then this range is the one you need to be treating your skin too.

The first product that I couldn't wait to try from this range was the Vinosource-Hydra Moisturising Mask (£23). I love a good face mask and do at least one a week as part of a wind down and pamper session.

This particular mask is enriched in organic grape water, soothing organic centella asiatica and antioxidant grapeseed polyphenols which come together to intensely nourish and soothe even the most sensitive dry skin.  What I love about this mask is how cooling it feels on the skin, on these rare warm sunny days when you have been out and about in the sun, sometimes you need to just sit down and allow your skin to be soothed and this mask does just that.  Designed to be used up to twice a week, it needs just 10 minutes of your time to work its magic, I apply it after showering or bathing and before I apply a body cream or oil, by the time ive finished all of that, I am ready to remove it.   If you don't have 10 minutes of spare time to apply this as a mask, you can also use as an overnight treatment and wash it off the skin the following morning.  After using, my skin always feels much more supple and smooth to the touch.

The second product I have from this collection is the Grape Water Gel Moisturiser (£26), which as you might have guessed from the products name, it is an absolute delight to use and so incredibly refreshing on the skin.

This Gel moisturiser is enriched in organic prebiotic Grape Water™ which is as soothing as it is moisturising as an ingredient and with it is the inclusion of organic aloe vera which offers natural hydration to help strengthen the skin's barrier. This cream is incredibly fresh thanks to its gel-like texture, not at all greasy on the skin, it melts almost immediately on contact and when it does, leaves behind soft, smooth skin to the touch.

The final product that I have from this collection is the SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum (£26). Suitable for all skin types, this SOS Serum is described as being a swift solution for quenching  skin which is feeling and looking dehydrated.  It claims to increase your hydration levels by 44% in just one day.

Using hyaluronic acid to moisturise and plump the skin alongside the inclusion of the cult Caudalie ingredient which is antioxidant-rich organic grape water to soothe and improve skin barrier function. Caudalie explain that this serum works by capturing water which it continuously diffuses throughout the skin, in turn this helps to restore your moisture balance to keep skin feeling refreshed and supple.  Infused with the citrus notes of mandarin blossom, lemon tree leaves, cucumber water and fresh mint, this serum when applied to the skin absorbs super quick without leaving any trace in the skin and this formula has been updated in recent months and is now vegan.   What I love about this serum is just how lightweight it is on the skin, all without being greasy and tacky, one of my bug bears with a serum is their thickness, I prefer something watery that absorbs without the need to massage it into my skin and this is what I get.

The Caudalie Vinosource Hydra Collection is made up of an Overnight Recovery Oil, a Moisturising Sorbet and an SOS Intensive Moisturising cream, all of which can be found here.  If you feel your skin is in need of some hydration and TLC, this is a great collection from Caudalie to do just that.  

If the Caudalie Vinosource Hydra Collection sounds like one you need to try (which you do) then you can find it via Caudalie, Feelunique and Boots.
