First Impressions: CAUDALIE - VINOSOURCE Riche - Intense Moisture Rescue Cream



Hello!  Another skincare review for you! I have had this cream, VINOSOURCE Riche Intense Moisture Rescue Cream for very dry skin by CAUDALIE for a couple of months now and I finally got around to write my first impressions. Why first impressions after months of testing it? Because this cream is really not suitable for my skin type (oily to mixed skin type with acne problems) and would not work for me on a daily basis, so I had this like an S.O.S. product, when I felt like my skin was really dry or I had acne scars I wanted to heal faster or I just felt I need to give my skin a more rich and heavy formula to help it replenish overnight. So this cream wasn't used regularly and I can not say what effect it would have on my skin if I used it daily, but I can say how it worked for me on those single uses every once in a while.


Packaging, price - It comes in white plastic tube with red twist cap, easy to use, small packaging that doesn't take up much space, sleek and well, nothing special. It contains 40 ml of product that has 9 months of shelf life once opened. Anyway, I like the tube, as it's full size but still travel friendly. The price depends on where you buy it, FeelUnique offers this cream for 32,43 euros, Slovenian readers can get this cream at VivaDerm for 26,95 euros, or at Lekarnar.com for 26,96 euros.

What it promises - "This rich, hydrating cream provides must-have moisture protection to repair and cure dry, dehydrated skin.  Grape oil and Shea butter deeply nourish and soothe to restorethe hydrolipidic layer and stregthen the skin's moisture barrier, resulting in soft, comfortable skin."

Texture, application, scent - The texture is really lightweight, rich and creamy, but not too sticky or greasy. The base of this cream is made of glycerin, squalane and  cetearyl alcohol. This cream does have a gentle fragrance, which I really like, it may not be the best for sensitive skin, but on me this worked fine, no irritations. The texture is really moisturizing, it's a very soothing cream, but you need to be careful not to apply it too heavily as it may make you look greasy or also make you feel like you have a heavy layer on your skin.

Effect on my skin - As already mentioned, I haven't been using this cream regularly, as it's not really fit for my skin type. Still, I have been using this on occassions, as a part of my night time skin care routine. I applied a small drop all over my face as this really spreads well and you don't need much to get the effect of this cream. I loved the texture that was nourishing but not too heavy. Even though this is meant for a really dry skin I usually woke up without looking greasy or anything, but just with a soft nourished skin. For some time now I have been noticing my skin has changed and is showing signs of dehydration, and even though I know there are creams out there that perform better for oily skin types I still wanted to try this one. I'm glad I did, as I found my own miracle worker, that helps me overnight to achieve a better, healthier skin. It goes hand in hand with my beloved Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep night cream and serum, these three did miracles for my skin in the last year. They didn't help me get rid of my acne or help me control sebum and shine or anything like that, but they visibly helped me heal my skin faster, especially this VinoSource cream. This one is really good for rescuing your skin from all the bad - dehydration, redness, irritations, dry patches, damaged skin from scratching my acne. Before I always though only Argan oil by Omnia Botanica could help me with these troubles, but now I see this cream can do that as well and even faster! I will keep using this cream as a rescue S.O.S. treatment whenever I will feel like I need something more to nourish my skin. I don't know if this would suit me as a daily moisturizer, as I think it's a bit too nourishing and I usually don't need so much care, but this years transit to fall and winter seems to be a bit more rocky than I'm used to and I will keep this cream by my side through this season. My boyfriend also tested it and used a bit too much at first, so he commented that he feels this cream is too greasy, but now that he uses a small drop, he likes this one as well and also loves the gentle scent.

Have you tried any of the VinoSource creams? Do you like them, maybe recommend them? I am really happy I was able to try this as this is something I wouldn't probably choose for myself, I would probably go for a mattifying fluid, but I'm glad I got to try this one! It really helps me heal my skin faster and it feels very soft and nourished after use! Plus you only need a small drop so a tube of 40 ml will last you for quite some time!

Hope this post was helpful to you! If you liked it, I would love it if you could also share it!

Thanks for reading!
