CAUDALIE VinoSource - Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid :)

Hello! Summer is almost at an end and I have not talked about one of my favourite summer products yet! Skincare in summertime changes quite a bit for me, but this year I got to try out a brand new Caudalie skincare product  from the VinoSource collection - Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid. This has been such an amazing product for my skin this summer! Let me tell you why! :)

I have oily to mixed skin type andI also have quite a lot of problems with acne, the past couple of months my skin was a bit more prone to acne than usual. So when I hear or read about a skincare product that promises light weight texture that moisturizes andoffers mattifying effect I really can't stay away for long! The mattifying fluid promises to help control oil and is also oil-free. It includes organic grape water, flax seed powder and anti-oxidant polyphenols. It promises to be shine-control savior!

About the product - It's a lightweight fluid with instant mattifying effect and long-lasting oil-control action. It reactivates the skin's hydration mechanisms and replenishes its water reserves. The skin's balance is restored for a velvety, matte complexion. It promises to have 100% mattifying effect after one hour and the skin texture refined 75%. It's also non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic and against animal testing.

Packaging, price - Simple white and red box includes a plastic tube in a bright pink shade. The tube includes 40 ml of product that lasts 9 months after opening. The price at VivaDerm store ( for Slovenian readers) is 28,35 euros, at FeelUnique ypu can get it for 29,44 euros.

How to use - The instructions to use suggest you apply this morning and evening, to face and neck, either by itself or after your serum.

My experience - As I have already mentioned at the beginning of this post - I love this fluid! Plain in simple - love it! The packaging is the usual for VinoSource creams, light and practical. Also very light and suitable for travels. You just twist the cap off and use as much of the product you need. I mostly used this as a part of my night time routine and sometimes also as part of daily routine, when I was at home wearing no makeup and other products and also as a base for my foundation. I usually needed two fat drops of this to get it all over my face and a little bit down my neck.

The texture is super light, a bit runny, like a light body milk or something like that. The product is white fluid and has a lovely scent to it, to me it smells like a mix of grape water and roses. I love the gentle scent, to me it smells very luxurious. Once applied this forms a nice coat over my face that gets absorbed in under five minutes and in about twenty minutes my face already looks completely matte. So on me the matte effect happens a bit faster than they promise, which is quite fine by me! It nourishes my skin well, I never felt I needed anything more, but probably that also depends on my skin type and those of you who have normal to mixed skin may need something more as well, like an extra serum under this fluid. I find this fluid a perfect summer product as it's light on my skin and gives me matte effect, which I always want to achieve. In the morning I usually woke up with smooth, velvety skin and no shine, or if I did get some shine, I was usually a bit oily around my nose area. I have also used this as a base for liquid foundation and it performed really well, my foundation went on nicely and was a bit more matte than usual for about an hour longer. Thou I have to say that once I started melting, this fluid couldn't help either. It didn't bother me much, to be honest, as it was summer and some really hot days, when I was sweating a lot. After regular use I have noticed that there is also some long term effect - my skin didn't get oily so fast in the mornings as before. Usually I was oily all over about an hour after waking up, but now I was up for a couple of hours before I noticed shine on my chin and forehead as well as around my nose area.

Personally I believe this is perfect for everyone with acne problems as it helps hydrate your skin but at the same time offers lightweight texture and matte effect. For those of us with oily and acne prone skin this is really the best solution. And you can still layer anti-acne product under the fluid without making it all too heavy and greasy. It did not cause me any more acne which is a big plus to me! However it did not act against acne, but I did not expect that from this product as it is meant as a moisturizer, not an anti-acne solution.

I have really enjoyed this product and I am sad to see it almost empty. It has been a perfect summer companion and I will definitely repurchase!

Hope this review was helpful to you! 

Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly
