My Opinion:

 

I've never been a fan of caudalie's product, I've tried it in the stores several times and was always put off by the scent.

 

Around December Sasa always have a bunch of X'mas set, and this is usually a good time for me to stock up on skin care products. I've spotted this set and after reading so many raves about it on  Essie-Button's blog, I've decided to try it.

 

First off, I've only tried the serum and just like all others Caudalie's product it has the same scent which personally I do not like it, but someone might, so make sure you try it before getting.

 

While we were at the store I've tried it out on my hands and it got absorbed almost instantly while my friend with oily skin tried it out on her hands, it just sat on top and it took ages to be absorbed, the sales lady explained that I had really dehydrated skin and that's why it got absorbed immediately.

 

I've nearly finished my bottle and I have to admit that I've really enjoy using it, my skin has been peeling since I came back from Korea and none of my skincare products seems to be improving the situation. I've used this for 3 days and the peeling has finally stopped, I need 2 pumps day and night, and my skin loves it.

 

My only complain is that a bottle won't last you for too long, if you use it twice a day, it'll only last you for about 20 days. Although expensive I'll definetly repurchase.

My Opinion:

 

I'd remember trying this in a store several years ago and not liking the scent, but after watching so many raves about this product on youtube, I've decided to give it another go.

 

First of all, I'm still not a huge fan of the scent, but whenever I spray this on my face I really do relax, the scent is very soothing, and unlike other facial sprays I really did feel the hydration on my skin, I think that's because of the essential oils in it. That yellow layer on top of the bottle is actually essential oil and you are suppose to shake it up before you use it.

 

I've only got a small bottle because I was unsure whether I'll like it, and this was actually quite expensive, but after trying it out, I'm definetly going back for the big one.

 

 

Caudalie Purifying Mask

Contents:50ml / 1.6 OZ
Price:HK$240 or US$35

According to Caudalie's Webpage:

This non-drying purifying mask eliminates complexion-dulling impurities to brighten the skin. It cleanses deeply, tightens the pores, and regulates oil production.

Who is it for?
Specially created for combination skin, it is also suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Ingredients :
grape-seed oil*
kaolin and bentonite clays
cypress, sage and lavender
camomile
sandalwood
Vinolevure®...

* organic origin

When? How?
Apply twice a week to perfectly clean skin for deep-cleansing, then rinse with warm water.
For combination skin, use three times a week.

Tips from your Vinotherapist
for a quick burst of radiance, apply a thin layer every morning and leave on 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse. May also be used locally to treat blemishes.

My Opinion:

This deep cleanse mask is not drying at all, and I can use it even when my skin is sensitive, but please note that I don't usually have sensitive skin, only once or twice per year when the season changes or if I've used something that irritates me.

When my skin is behaving properly, I prefer stronger deep cleanse mask, those when you take it off you'd really feel your skin cleanse and all the oiliness gone, but Caudalie Purifying Mask is just too mild for my taste.
