Caudalie Foaming Cleanser

I have heard so many good things about this brand so I wanted to give them a try.  I purchased a few of their products but will be reviewing the Caudalie foaming cleanser and Caudalie make-up removing oil.

I have 40 something (cough, cough) skin that is on the oily side.  I do like more natural skin care lines so thought I would give them a try.

I purchased the cleansers at the Caudalie store.  The sales associate was very friendly and helpful.  Since I was just testing these products out, I decided to purchase the travel sized versions.  The full sized cleansers are definitely a better deal.  Both of these products are good for all skin types.

Caudalie is a French skincare company, specializing in anti-aging, skincare, body care, fragrance & masks.

The vine and grape extracts used for their patents come from the vineyards of Bordeaux, Champagne, and Burgundy.

Their products have 0% parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, mineral oils, sodium laureth sulfae,  and animal ingredients.

Love the colour of the bag……

The Caudalie Foaming Cleanser packaging is very simple but sleek.

I used 2-3 pumps to cleanse my face.  I was wearing a full face of make-up and wanted to see if it would remove it all.  The foam is an airy foam and was very gentle on my skin.  It smells fabulous.

I applied it to my face and proceeded to lather my face like any other cleanser.  The foam melts into your skin and the foam disappears. It does not lather like a soap based cleanser – which is good because that would strip your skin of all the natural oils and would be drying.  When I rinsed off the cleanser, I was glad to see that it removed all of my face makeup but it did not remove my mascara……I ended up looking like a raccoon.

My face felt really soft and smooth and the scent lingered.  Although this cleanser didn’t remove my mascara, I would purchase this foaming cleanser again.  My skin felt so soft.

With a full face of make-up, I washed my face with the Make-up Removing Cleansing Oil.  I used 2-3 pumps, as suggested, and warmed it in between my hands then proceeded to wash my face with it.   I added a few splashes of water and the oil became milky like.  Although this is an oil cleanser, it did not feel oily at all.  I rinsed the oil cleanser off my face and dried my face with a towel.  The Make-up Removing Cleansing Oil removed all of my face makeup and………..drum roll please……….it also removed all of my eye makeup, including the mascara.  No raccoon eyes!  This is a silky cleanser that melts away all types of makeup and impurities, leaving the skin nourished and clean.

My skin felt so silky smooth and soft, like a babies bum :).  I love the way my skin feels after using this oil.  It is hydrating without the oiliness.  I totally love this face oil and will continue using it.  I have oily skin but my skin did not feel oily at all.

More reviews to come.

Caudalie skincare is a great brand with great products – I would definitely recommend this line to anyone.
