I must admit when I first laid eyes on this product in my April Glossy Box I was excited to see the name Caudalie as I've been dying to try the Beauty Elixir but when I saw that this was a hydrating serum I thought "this product is not for me" as I have oily skin, I was very wrong! This product has been a life saver for me over the last few weeks and I love it!
To start off I want to tell you a little bit about the company. Caudalie was started in 1995 by Mathilde Thomas and her husband in the Bordeaux region of France, they discovered with the help of Dr Vercauteren that polyphenals in left over grape seeds had extraordinary anti-oxidant power. Together they created Vinotherapie, the use of natural spring water combined with vine extracts. The products contain no parabens, phthalates, phenoxythanol, sodium lauryl sulphate, colorants, mineral oils or animal derived ingredients and they're also cruelty free.
The S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum "continuously captures and diffuses water deep within the skin to restore it's moisture balance and leave it feeling soft and fresh".
The reason this product has been so amazing for me in the past few weeks is because a couple of months ago my skin went crazy and started breaking out on my chin, either side of my chin and along my jaw, to try and combat this I decided to use Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster which completely dried my skin out making applying makeup almost impossible so now I had loads of spots that I couldn't cover up with makeup because my skin was so dry and flaky that applying makeup just made it look ten times worse, nightmare!
That's when I started using the Caudalie S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum and it worked a treat on my dry, flaky skin, I just applied it after cleansing my skin and before my moisturiser and the dry skin was gone!
A little bit goes a long way with this product, I received a 10ml sample and I've been using it everyday for a few weeks now and I've still got some left. I've also been using it around my nose as I've had a really bad cold and my nose was really dry and sore. I probably wouldn't need to use this product all the time as normally I don't have a problem with dry skin but it's been a lifesaver throughout my breakouts, which have actually calmed down a lot now and another product I've been using has helped a lot with that which I'll be doing a review on soon.
If you have dry or dehydrated skin then I thoroughly recommend this product, at £29 for 30ml it is on the expensive side but if you buy it from Naturismo it's currently 10% off and free delivery on Caudalie products, click here to check out the Naturismo website. Also when you make a purchase on the Naturismo website you get to choose up to 5 samples for free when you checkout.
