Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Mask Reviews

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Mask Review
By Sally Sisson

Packaging: The Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Mask is a packaged in a plastic tube inside a cardboard box. The soft tube has clear, clean labeling and looks very stylish and appealing. The packaging should be recyclable and the instructions for use are on the tube so no need to keep the box for instructions.

Application: This Purifying Mask has a lovely silky texture to it and is easy to squeeze the right amount out of the tube. Even though it is a clay mask it still glides on without pulling the skin. The aroma is mainly lavender and is very fresh and soothing. I applied it with my finger tips but it would go on equally well with a mask brush. I applied it to face and neck and left it on for the recommended 15 minutes. It rinsed off easily with warm water and a cloth.

Ingredients: Caudalie formulates beauty products for all those don't want to choose between effectiveness and naturalness, between luxury and ecology.
The ingredients list is lengthy and not very easy to determine where all the ingredients are from. Predominantly the mask is clay based with vegetable oils and essential oils of lavender, sandalwood and clary sage. I loved the smell; it had a real spa, quality aroma to it. Caudalie products contain no parabens or mineral oil.

Results: The mask does not set hard like many clay masks, which in my opinion is great as it left my skin feeling very clean but not dehydrated. The recommended usage is twice a week and as it is such a pleasure to use I enjoyed the ritual. My combination skin benefited from using the mask, it refined its appearance, controlled the oilier areas but did not dry out the rest of my face or neck.

Pros
Beautiful aroma.
Did not over dry my skin.
Application and removal of the mask were easy.

Cons
If you don’t like lavender, you will not like this.
