Why We Love Caudalie Premier Cru

Tuesday night I was leaving the gym and the wind was bitter and brutal. As in, have to brace to not be knocked over, hair flies straight up into a Marge Simpson hair configuration kind of wind.

Despite having slathered my face with moisturizer before I left the building in knowing that I was headed out into unpleasant conditions, this was a matter of damage control when it came to treating my raw skin when I got home.

So I decided to try my sample of Caudalie Global Anti-Aging Premier Cru Cream after I had gently washed my stinging face.

The Caudalie Premier Cru Experience

First thing that I thought was how truly luxurious of a cream it is.

Consistency Compared to La Mer

The texture struck me as somewhere between La Mer Cream and La Mer Concentrate. You don’t have to spend the time melting Cru like La Mer Cream, it easily warms up on your finger and then the consistency and feel is a bit more like a non-sticky La Mer Concentrate.
I applied it to my raw skin, expecting a bit of a sting. It didn’t sting, in fact, it was instantly soothing. It felt good while applying it. It felt like a treat. It felt like what my skin needed.
Cru absorbs nearly instantly and leaves skin with a super-smooth, glowing look. Skin moves well and stays creaseless.

Lips

If there was no other use for Premier Cru, what it does for lips is incredible.

I’ve tried a lot of topical lip plumpers and found some really great ones (various ones from Fusion Beauty for example), but most leave lips a bit dry, even the ones with humectants in them. Premier Cru plumps and contour lips better than any lip plumper I’ve tried in quite a while. Your lips aren’t swollen, they are your lips, just far better. And the best part is that lips are beyond soft!

Caudalie Premier Cru Clinical Results

I thought the clinical results mentioned on the Caudalie website were interesting:

  • the cream gives a 1/10th of a inch lift to the skin (at least that much my skin looked incredibly firm after application)
  • 80% more radiance (again, my skin went from raw and red when I went to sleep to glowing when I woke up – for me it was far more than 80%!)
  • continuous moisturization after application (check!)
  • incredible anti-oxidant protection via Caudalie’s thrice-patented titrated Resveratrol, Viniferine from Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte grapevines, and grape-seed Polyphenols.

All I can say is that I’m ready to pick a new one up as soon as this one runs out so I can have continuous use of this amazing cream!

Summary

If you like La Mer Concentrate for it’s moisturizing properties and luxurious feel and would like a less expensive product that moisturizes just as well with less product per use and has lifting and plumping properties, I would highly recommend Caudalie Premier Cru!
