I don’t know about anyone else, but my skin hasn’t been feeling great whilst in lockdown. I keep getting dry patches, acne and increasingly blackheads are showing up. With this, I decided to change up my routine a bit and try and clear some products and that’s when I found Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum in my cupboard. This is meant to be perfect for hydrating skin, so I’m ready to help clear up those dry patches!

First Thoughts
Quite honestly, the packaging for the sample (kind-of, it’s larger than an average sample) made me believe this was a hand cream. For months, I hadn’t picked this up to open because I didn’t realise it was serum.
Fortunately, when I sorted out my skincare cupboards I realised this was in fact, a serum and that it should be good for my skin. My first thoughts on it before applying was that the ingredients list contained lots of hydrating elements. This was a bonus for me, as I had been struggling with dry patches on my forehead.
I found that it smelt a little bit like The Body Shop’s Aloe Mask. I wasn’t sure if I liked this or not, but it does go well with claims that it’s hydrating.
During Use
The first thing I noticed was how liquid the consistency of the product is. From the packaging, I expected something a lot thicker like the Nip&Fab Serum but this product is very similar to other serums I’ve used.
Because of the formula being very liquid, it’s extremely easy to spread across your entire face and neck. The easy application makes it a quick addition to your skincare routine, and a little really goes a long way. For this reason, I think Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum is a good option for a quick routine or a travel routine.
With some serums, like The Ordinary’s Buffet and The Body Shop’s Drops of Youth I found that it created a refreshing feeling on the skin. I didn’t feel like this had the same effect, however I may pop it in the fridge and try it again.
After Use
Immediately after applying my skin felt a bit tacky to the touch for about 10 minutes. However, once it was fully absorbed my skin felt smooth and soft. Was it glowy or dewey though? Not particularly. My skin looked hydrated but it was defintely not #goals for dewey skin.
Fortunately, it didn’t have an adverse effects for sensitive skin with the use of fragrance. Plus, I did feel like my skin was more moistursed than when not using a serum – however I could have got similar effects from probably any other serum too.
Would I Re-Purchase Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum?
Probably not. For me, it just doesn’t do anything different to other serums I’ve tried, and would prefer Drops of Youth or Buffet.
