Wine is the new skincare. 

Wine is good for the heart and it can also be good for your skin! That's right, wine-based skincare products are all the rage right now, and I am not surprised. Their combination of antioxidants and hydrating properties make them an ideal treatment for aging skin.

When you know the struggle of visible pores, sore blemishes, and an oily t-zone, you can feel stuck in a cycle of irritation and trying to cover up your skin's imperfections. I felt this way for years—until I tried out Caudalie Vinopure cleanser and moisturizer for over three weeks now, my results were too good not to share with you.

So if you're looking to treat your skin like a true vino fan, you will enjoy Caudalie Vinopure collection. 

I have oily skin and large pores, so if you are like me and you deal with excess oil production on your face, then this post is for you!

Caudalie's Vinopure Collection is specifically designed for oily andcombination skin types. The collection features a range of products that areformulated to target blemishes, excess oil, and other common concernsassociated with oily and acne-prone skin.

One of thekey ingredients in the Vinopure Collection is salicylic acid, which is abeta-hydroxy acid that is known for its ability to unclog pores and reduceinflammation. Other ingredients include grape seed polyphenols, which arepowerful antioxidants that help to protect the skin from environmentalstressors, and organic essential oils, which provide a natural fragrance andcan help to balance oil production.

The Vinopure Collection includes 5 products:

1. Cleanser  - Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser. 
2. Toner -  Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Toner.
3. Serum - Caudalie Vinopure Blemish Control Serum.

5. Clay Mask -  Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Mask.

Each product is designed to work together to provide a comprehensive solution for oily and acne-prone skin.

From this range, I used only their cleanser and mattifying moisturizer, and after three weeks of use, I can honestly say that my skin feels like it's never felt before. It's glowing, it's soft, and it's hydrated—and that's just from using these two products and combining my other skincare products!

I'm going to definitely be purchasing their serum, mask, and toner so I can get the full experience of this collection!

Why Vinopure?

The Vinopure range is one of Caudalie's most beloved, because it's formulated to be gentle on the skin, but effective enough to banish breakouts.

The secret to this range's success? 100% natural salicylic acid. If you're worried about the chemicals in your skincare products, this is the product for you! It's completely free of parabens, phthalates, and silicones, so it won't irritate your skin or cause any unpleasant side effects.

But if you're looking for a product that will work from day one… well, you're going to have to be patient. This isn't a miracle cure; it takes time and commitment to see results with acne products like this one. But if you stick with it for seven days (and maybe even beyond), I promise that your skin will thank you!

Which skin types will benefit from Vinopure?

If you have any of the following skin types, I  think you'll love Vinopure:

• Adult acne
• Blemished skin; hormonal, occasional, or reactional.
• Oily skin
• Combination skins with oily t-zones

The Caudalie Vinopure Collection is specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. The products in the range are designed to help unclog pores, control excess oil production, and reduce the appearance of blemishes. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, the Vinopure Collection can help to balance and purify your skin, leaving it looking and feeling healthier. However, if you have dry or sensitive skin, you may want to look for skincare products that are better suited to your skin type, as the Vinopure Collection may be too harsh and potentially irritating.

What are the key ingredients in the Vinopure range?

• Grape polyphenols;
• French lavender essential oil
• Madagascar lemongrass essential oil
• Egyptian geranium essential oil
• Morrocan rosemary essential oil
• French lemon balm essential oil
• Indian peppermint essential oil
• 100 natural salicylic acid

About Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

The Vinopure line includes a non-drying face wash for blemished skin. There is no soap or sulfates in this product, which is made with 99% natural ingredients, including foaming agents. When it comes to deep cleansing, this gentle gel cleanser is quite potent. Daily, pores are unclogged, oily t-zones are refreshed, and blemishes are less likely to appear. I can attest that it does all three.

It contains 150ml product and I purchased mine from lookfantastic.ae for $22.00

It contains Caudalie's famous grape water, glycerin, aloe vera, salicylic acid, and a slew of herbal and plant oils that give it a fresh herbal spa-like scent. It has a clear liquid gel that lathers just enough. It has the slippery texture that all Caudalie products have, making it very easy to massage. 

The Caudalie Vinopure Cleanser is a great addition to your skincare routine. If you're looking for a face wash with a strong scent, this is the one for you. The scent of citrus and mint is refreshing and natural, thanks to six different organic essential oils that help clear up your skin. After washing your face with this cleanser, the refreshing foam instantly cools and cleans it, so you can feel refreshed and ready to go!

If you wear a lot of foundation or eye makeup, it's best to use this face wash after you've removed your makeup. This way, you'll get all the grime out of your pores before applying any new products.

This face wash has a lot of foam and is quite runny—you don't need much to get a great lather! Be careful when decanting what you need so as not to waste any product. The bottle is 100% recyclable and has a low-plastic cap so that it doesn't add plastic waste into landfills when you recycle it.

My experience

I love this cleanser because it feels so gentle on my skin. It's not stripping, but I still feel like my face is clean. I also feel like it's really helped keep blemishes at bay, which is a big deal for me because I have combination skin that's prone to breakouts (especially in the winter).

I never had any issues with this drying out my skin or causing irritation, but there were times when I felt like it made my face feel a little tight. That's probably why it works so well for me—because my skin isn't super dry to begin with, this cleanser doesn't strip too much of the natural oils from my skin and leaves it feeling clean but soft.

My Experience 

I don't know about you, but I'm always on the hunt for a moisturizer that can do it all. I want something that's quick-drying and provides adequate moisture to my face, but also ensures that my makeup stays put.

I've tried a lot of different creams in my time—from drugstore brands to luxury brands like Caudalie. And I have to say that this moisturizer is one of the best I've used. This moisturizer is quick-drying while also providing adequate moisture to my skin. I use a full-coverage foundation to conceal my spots, and I discovered that this sat seamlessly under makeup, and most importantly, my t-zone top-ups became less frequent, as it truly mattified.

This mattifying moisturizer is perfect if you're looking for something that will help your makeup stay put while also keeping your skin hydrated and matte. 

Verdict 

Caudalie Vinopure line is designed for oily or problematic skin. 

After trying only 2 products from the Caudalie Vinopure range, I am definitely a fan. This collection is great for oily, problematic skin types and it's formulated to be gentle but effective at banishing breakouts.

I tried their cleanser and mattifying moisturizer, and both products worked really well for me. The cleanser was gentle enough to not irritate my skin while still removing all of my makeup, and the moisturizer was lightweight but really moisturizing and keeps my makeup put.

Here is my current skincare routine: 

Step One: Cleanser  - Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser. 

Step Two: Toner -  The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

Step Three: Skinceuticals Blenisg + Age Defense Serum (only PM) 

Step Four: Mattifying Moisturizer - Caudalie Vinopure Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid. 

Step Five: Exfoliator - The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (1-2 times a week)

I'm going to definitely be purchasing their serum, mask, and toner so I can get the full experience of this collection!

All in all, if you have oily/combination skin that's prone to breakouts (like me!), this might be a great line for you!
