Caudalie // Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet Review

Caudalie Vinosource // Moisturising Sorbet
RRP £23 for 40ml

This was a 10ml sample that I received in a Latest In Beauty box some time ago. However, I have used two other 10ml samples completely in the past.

First Impressions

This is a liquidy white cream that kind of looks like it's curdled as it is a little chunky in some places but once you start rubbing it in it turns into a watery gel and sinks in quickly. It doesn't have the nicest smell; kind of like play dough.

Usage

I've previously used two 10ml samples to completion but this one I had to stop when it was around 3/4 empty due to the fact that it was breaking me out in spots. When I last used this product I was constantly switching up my routine and the products I used so I wasn't sure which products were causing me to break out. In the last 6 months though, I've stopped doing that and use 1 product to completion. I've found it very easy now to spot which items don't work with my skin or don't work in conjunction with other products.

My skin had been clear for a month and no products had been swapped out for a good 3 weeks, I then started using this and within 2 days, red angry spots were appearing on my skin. I continued using it for 2 weeks and it got worse. After stopping, it took 2 months for my skin to calm down and the scars from the spots to finally fade.

Would I Buy This Product: No. It works well as a serum but if you have sensitive skin or are prone to acne, I would not recommend this.

Overall Impressions

At first I was impressed, but that was before I stopped changing my routine all the time. Now, the smell, the texture and results just don't justify the £23 price tag. This hasn't put me off Caudalie products though, I still enjoy their Vinopure range but I think I'll stay away from the vinosource range now.
