“Rosewater provides lightweight hydration while enhancing your natural glow”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Caudalie - Vinopure Skin Perfecting Mattifying Fluid" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Caudalie - Vinopure Skin Perfecting Mattifying Fluid ticks this box. Glycerin, butylene glycol and rosa damascena flower water in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Coco-caprylate/caprate and dicaprylyl carbonate 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.
