Has anyone tried any of their skincare products? If so, which ones are you using, how do you like them & what changes have you seen to your skin? I received a sample of the Premiere Cru eye cream and may be seeing some improvement in some crinkling going on under my left eye. So wondering if anyone else has tried any products and what your thoughts were. I've fallen in love with their Divine scent after sniffing it at Sephora. Have bought their Divine Body Oil, Divine Perfume & Divine candle. Also bought the lip balm, hand cream & body butter. So far I am liking these products. The Premiere Cru skincare line is very pricey and the two lines under it aren't very much less expensive either. So hoping to hear if anyone else is using this brand and what products you like. TIA

I have used it. Frankly, I have become a skeptic when it comes to any products. I think a good spf is needed, but eventually if you want no wrinkles, you will have to go to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Love their misting spray and hand cream; haven't yet tried more products in the line, but they seem to get great reviews. The concept is based in organic skincare made with resveratol (sp?) extracted from grapes like in wine. Oh...and its French. What's not to love?

I only use their grape water misting spray after applying my foundation (mineral makeup) and powder blush. It comes out as a very fine mist and helps to "settle down" my makeup. Sometimes, when I remember to do it, I will spray my face at night before applying moisturizer. Really do like this product.

Thanks for your responses. Anyone else use any of their skincare? Darcy3, I like their hand cream too. I have very dry hands with thick ragged cuticles and I've tried a lot of high end hand products like La Mer, La Prairie which I do like. But I've been using Caudalie's hand cream for about 5 weeks now and the skin on my hands and cuticles has improved. A tube only costs $15 compared to the really high end products so IMHO, the hand cream is totally worth the price. Plus I do like that I am getting the benefits of resvertol plus it really smells really nice too! I received a sample of the misting spray with my last order so will have to give it a try as well.

I have only tried their setting mist after hearing raves about it. I honestly couldn't take the scent. Threw it out and never tried anything else.

The reason the CRU is more money. It's one step shopping meaning it helps with lines wrinkles firms helps bright up dark spots. So you don't need to buy a serum and moisturizer I love this line. I have bought or tried a sample of everything they make. My only suggestion is if you are more to the oily side the CRU is not for you.

Thanks beautydiva, I'm considering the CRU eye cream. I think it is making a difference on some crinkling I have going on under my left eye. And I've tried a lot of very high end products that did not help much like Sisley, La Mer & La Prairie. For the skin on my face, I have combination skin that is dry in the winter. I saw that there is a CRU Elixer, CRU cream (in a pump container) and then a CRU cream rich so for winter time, the CRU elixer or CRU cream in the pump might be better for my skin. In summer I thought the Vinexpert line might be better for my combination skin. Are you only using the CRU line? TIA

I've tried many products and nothing wowed me. I don't like that most of the oriducts contain fragrance.

The CRU line is pretty pricey. At least 60% of it looks to be fractionated coconut oil, olive oil esters, apricot kernel oil, grape seed and sesame seed oils. They're good for your skin but not expensive oils. Esters are great for oily skin but not the best for dry skin. The fragrance is really high in the deck. It's listed about halfway. Typically, fragrance is about 1-2% of the product. So, this either has way too much fragrance and can be irritating or anything after its listing is really a small percentage and basically ineffective. All of the nice looking actives are listed well after the fragrance. I was looking at the Cru Cream. $158.00 seems kinda high for what it offers. OP, is it dry skin and wrinkles you're battling? If so, you might want to look for something with hyaluronic acid and multiple ceramides. Evening Primrose oil is also a good ingredient and carrot seed oil as an ingredient is getting a lot of great reviews. It's been reported to firm skin. As always, vitamin E is great for softening.
