I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Even though the moisturizing sorbet is surprisingly moisturizing, it's still not quite enough for the harder winter time (when it's below -10 C) but it still soothes
- When I opened the tube for the first time I felt the fragrance was overpowering but it has since faded a bit? It's still there, but strangely I don't mind
- I feel like the product runs out very quickly, about 2-3 weeks for 15 ml! When used twice a day.
- Costs more than I would like!
+ Feels very fresh on the skin, melts and sinks into it almost immediately, easy to spread
+ Considering how light this moisturizer feels, it's super hydrating/moisturizing at the same time
+ After applying it's almost like I've applied nothing but my skin feels great
+ Works well with my makeup
+ Can be layered
+ Light, gel-like, turns watery when applied to skin, doesn't clog my pores or cause any breakouts
+ Actually soothing? Maybe less irritation/redness?

* I must say I was surprised by this moisturizer, even though as I understand it is very popular. Looking at Caudalie's products now, I also feel like I would like to try their Intense Moisture Rescue Cream, Make-up Removing Cleansing Oil and Grape Water.
* Based on such a short testing period, I can't be absolutely sure if the moisturizer is breaking me out or not but I didn't notice anything out of ordinary. Talking of The Ordinary, I felt like it was such a pleasure to use a different cream once in a while! Been using TO's NMF + HA for a while (soon finishing the second 100 ml tube).
* Is this Caudalie's moisturizer magic? No, it's not. I didn't notice any "big improvements" in my skin and what I felt like I maybe noticed can't be proven in any way (maybe a bit less oily T-area, less irritated skin?). But then again isn't it the same with almost every product?

Got in Lookfantastic Advent Calendar, sample 15 ml
Buy again?
Yes. When I feel like I want to treat myself and I've used up my other moisturizers, I'm going to repurchase Moisturizing Sorbet.
Worth the money?
I'm so impressed by how much my skin likes this moisturizer and the overall performance that my heart says yes even though my head is denying it. I do recommend it highly, at least to try, if you want to splurge. I think that it suits all skin types and is especially good for combination skin. And yes, for me this moisturizer feels luxurious so using it definitely lifts my mood! (Plus the tube is cute and pink.)
