Caudalíe uses the antioxidant properties of wine and grape in all its cosmetics, and Premier Cru Eye Contour is no exception. As I always say, analyzing each of the ingredients is the only way to know if a cosmetic is worth it or not. That is why I am going to analyze this outline which, a priori, looks good.
And that is why I have analyzed all the ingredients of the most popular brands in the article Best Eye Contours , which I recommend that you read after this analysis. This way you will discover how to read an INCI and what ingredients you have to look for in an eye contour.

Summary Analysis Premier Cru Eye Contour by Caudalie
A formula without parabens, without mineral oils, without silicones, phthalates, or ingredients of animal origin. It does not have any irritating, allergenic or potentially toxic ingredients.
On the other hand, if it has a good amount of active principles, such as avocado oil, hyaluronic acid, AHA, vitamin E, and the Viniferin complex with all the properties of the seed and the grape vine. Of course, these could be somewhat higher on the list.
Without a doubt, a highly recommended formula to reduce wrinkles, puffiness and reverse free radical damage. The only downside is its price, which today exceeds € 53.
Alternative
If you are out of price, I recommend the Nezeni Cosmetics contour, it is the one I use, with many active ingredients and a somewhat more affordable price. You can read their analysis, ingredient by ingredient, in the article Best Eye Contours that I recommended at the beginning.
