Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate is manufactured by Caudalie Paris, along with a full line of skin care products. The Moisturizing Concentrate is marketed as a deep penetrating moisturizer that promotes cellular regeneration. It has no parabens (cosmetic preservatives that are known allergens) and is 100% plant based, according to the website. Although Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate is advertised as paraben-free, it does not claim to be non-allergenic. A full ingredient list is available on the website and all ingredients are oils and essential oils, some from organic sources.
Caudalie skin care products are available for sale directly from the Caudalie website, and this include the Moisturizing Concentrate. The company offers free samples of its product but charges $8.00 for shipping. Only one sample is allowed per customer. There is no indication of a money-back guarantee on any of the Caudalie products.
Product Details
Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate is a blend of oils and essential oils including jojoba and grapeseed oils, sesame oil, oil of palmarosa, and essential oil of rose. The jojoba, sesame and palmarosa oils are derived from organic sources according to Caudalie’s website. Although grapeseed oil has been shown to have restorative properties, the website provides no information or clinical studies showing the effectiveness of any of these ingredients on cellular regeneration or deep moisturizing.
The application instructions are to rub 3 drops into your face and neck, particularly on dry areas, morning and night. There is no information as to whether the Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate can be worn under makeup during the day.
The Good
- Promotes cellular regeneration per the company’s claims.
- Contains no allergy-inducing parabens.
- Provides full list of product ingredients on the company’s website.
The Bad
- No indication of the product’s effectiveness on wrinkle-reduction.
- Caudalie provides no clinical studies showing the effectiveness of its active ingredients.
- There does not appear to be a money-back guarantee.
- Not proven to be non-allergenic.
The Bottom Line
Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate is an all-natural daily moisturizer that might be appropriate for general softening and hydrating. None of its ingredients appear to have clinical trials backing their effectiveness on cell regeneration or wrinkle reduction and it does not contain ingredients commonly found in higher-end anti-wrinkle formulations. The company doesn’t appear to stand behind its products with a money back guarantee so if you purchase Caudalie Moisturizing Concentrate and you find that it is not effective or induces allergies, you are stuck with the entire jar. If you want to try this product, the best bet before buying a whole jar, is to pay the $8.00 for the sample size. However, if you are looking for a skin care product specifically formulated for wrinkle reduction with proven ingredients, there are many other products on the market that could prove more effective.

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science
Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection.

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze
Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
