Sneak Preview: Caudalie skincare

Kirstie recently informed us about all the lovely new brands Space NK at Harvey Nichols in Dundrum will be stocking. French skincare line Caudalie is one of those brands and I am especially happy about this one.

Caudalie have been producing skincare based around the humble grape for over 10 years now. Their secret is grapeseed polyphenols - powerful antioxidants that can help protect the skin against free-radicals; Caudalie skincare is packed with these little gems. And it's not just the seeds which are used - the grapevine stalks themselves are full of resveratrol, which works to stimulate cell renewal, and which is a key ingredient in Caudalie's anti-ageing products.

I've been using Caudalie skincare for years now, and coming from someone who loves to try out the latest new skincare products, this brand loyalty must say something good about the line. My favourite products are the Gentle Cleanser (a mild, creamy cleansing milk which keeps my skin soft and clear), Instant Foaming Cleanser (a gentle, refreshing and non-drying foaming cleanser), Eau de Raisin (a soothing and refreshing water spray which I use after cleansing), and the Anti-Ageing Serum for Eyes and Lips (an easily-absorbed serum which works wonders on my under-eye circles).

For anyone not in Dublin, Caudalie skincare can also be obtained through their own website.
