Does Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Precious Oil work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Precious Oil:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for normal to dry skin, ideally to be paired with a humectant-rich product

According to CreamScan analysis, Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Precious Oil is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely occlusive. It has zero Humectancy (we didn't find any humectant ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high Occlusivity of 6.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal skin.

However, it contains no humectants, and people with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding water-binding humectants to their moisturizing routine for effective dual-action moisturizing. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

The occlusive profile of Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Precious Oil suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Precious Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopheryl Acetate (est. ≈1.5%), Tocopherol (est. ≈1.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
