Lately I’ve been layering Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum under my moisturizer to keep skin soft and hydrated. I find using oils, essences, or serums really help in alleviating dry to dehydrated skin in a short amount of time. I have used quite a few products from their Vinoperfect and Vinosource lines and they are pretty hydrating on my normal to dry sensitive skin.
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Dimethicone, Palmitoyl Grape Seed Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Parfum (Fragrance), Squalane, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Juice, Xanthan Gum, Sorbitan Oleate, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan, Citric Acid, Sorbitan Laurate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Phytate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate, Potassium Sorbate, Alcohol*, Myristyl Malate Phosphonic Acid
This serum is packed with organic grape water, olive squalane, and hyaluronic acid to treat, hydrate, and soothe dehydrated irritated skin. Love that this is formulated with clean ingredients. As always their products are packaged in glass, this serum is housed in a glass bottle with pump dispenser.
The watery (lotion like) milky texture spreads easily and absorbs into skin fairly quickly. It has a slight botanical scent that is pleasant and dissipates after a few minutes. My skin drinks this up right away and instantly gets a boost of hydration. It calms any redness in my skin and feels nourishing. Super lightweight and does not leave behind any greasy residue.
I would say the plumping effect is temporary so I make sure to follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the hydration considering my skin was pretty dry to begin with. This serum wears well alone under makeup and does not pill. I love using this at night under a heavy moisturizer or sleeping mask for extra absorption. I wake up with no dry flakes and smooth soft skin.
This serum is fragranced incase you are sensitive to perfume. I have sensitive skin and never experienced any irritation. A life saver for me during cold winter weather when I need a serum that can soak deep into my skin. Adding a serum in my skincare routine adds a great layer of hydration. A little goes a long ways so this bottle will last for a while.
