Caudalie Moisturisers Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

"Caudalie - Moisturisers Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Caudalie - Moisturisers Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet ticks this box. Humectants in this product (biosaccharide gum-1, erythritol, glycerin, mannitol and sodium hyaluronate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Glycine soja sterols, butyrospermum parkii butter extract, helianthus annuus seed oil, hexyldecanol and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-15 0.05% - 0.10%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
