For post pregnancy
-04.07.12
I bought this after my baby was born to use on my tummy and thighs. It has an oily texture, so be sure to apply in the nude. However, I found out that menthol scents can be harmful for babies--it can make it hard for them to breathe. Since this has a strong peppermint scent that ended up on my baby after I applied it on myself, I didn't want to risk a reaction. Sadly, I had to return it.

What a feeling
-02.09.12
Quick Take: refreshing, firming, skin-softening, non greasy
It softens the skin and hydrates it maybe it does firm it i'm
not 100% sure. Probably with another bottle. Anyway
it smells fresh, absorbs quickly and there is an improvment in skin tone. I don't give it 5 stars just because of the size I would love to keep using it, just a little pricy but good

Quick Take: firming, skin-softening, lightly scented
I absolutely love this product! I used to use it alone and really rub it into my skin, but I have since discovered the body butter from Caudalie and mixing both of these products together not only makes them last longer, but has doubled the appearance and feel of my skin! I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little help with firming up their skin. It is not a miracle in a bottle, but combined with a regular fitness routine, this does help!

Happily Surprised
-09.14.11
Quick Take: refreshing, firming
I was blown away by this product after being extremely skeptical of all firming products. I used it once a day, just before bed: it has a fantastic refreshing herbal smell, and I like the idea of it soaking in to my skin all night long. I massaged/rubbed it to to my stomach, hips and top thigh/ bum and after the first week I noticed slight improvements and by two weeks certainly less giggle!. By week three my stomach has definitely tighten, it is certainly firmer and I am so pleased!! I'm going out to buy two more today!!

EXCELLENT FOR TIGHTENING, GREAT FOR AROMATHERAPY
-05.24.11
Quick Take: refreshing, firming
I've been using Caudalie's Firming Concentrate for about three years now. I use it primarily in the summer, when my legs are uncovered and more bare skin is obvious. I primarily use this on my calves, because it also seems to have a nice tightening effect at the back of my legs, and regardless, feels good when I rub it in. This smells really good, too, and I find it very relaxing. It would be exceptional for massages, too. I highly recommend this Firming Concentrate. I've tried stuff from the drugstore, too, but in general, they're a lot of hype and not much more. This really makes my legs feel good, and seems to tighten the skin, too.

-04.17.11
Quick Take: refreshing, skin-softening, firming, aromatic
I love this stuff. I put a few drops in my hand, rub them together and then inhale the scent a few times before applying. I have also used it in the bath, it makes a wonderful bath oil and sometimes I add a couple drops to my body lotion. I do not use the exact amount they recommend on the bottle, I just use what I need & it lasts a long time. A great product, and really does improve the skin texture.

Amazing! But caveat emptor!
-02.14.11
Quick Take: refreshing, skin-softening, firming
This and the Contouring Concentrate are amazing and effective. *However*, unless you want to look like you were blotting pizza with your clothes, I highly recommend mixing with the Nourishing Body Lotion before applying. I do this with both oils, and it greatly speeds up their absorption. The body lotion also firms, so you won't be diluting either oil's efficacy. Put the lotion in your palm first, then add oil to lotion and mix on skin. Do this with each concentrate separately, i.e. on the parts of the body for which each is intended. I do this right after shower, while still in the tub, while skin is still moist. This provides maximum absorption and minimizes mess. Also, if the oils' fragrances are too strong for you, mixing them will lighten up the smell. The lotion smells great; not too srong. I cannot recommend these oils highly enough!!

Best skin of my life
-01.28.11
Quick Take: refreshing, skin-softening, firming, invigorating, motivating, mood lifting
I will do whatever it takes (within reason!) to make this therapeutic oil a morning staple just like organic coffee. After bathing, I massage it into damp skin for about 5 minutes. What a treat! It's not a chore at all. It smells minty-fresh, and my body comes alive with each stroke--no kidding! I'm always thirsty after using it too, which tells me it's draining toxins and other waste from cells just like the product description claims. My skin already looks more evenly toned and healthier than it did a month ago, and I have no doubt that with consistent use, it will appear firmer, too. It's better than body lotion because the oil sinks in fast, leaving me with incredibly velvety, non-greasy skin. Makes me want to check out other products in the Caudalie line.

-01.02.11
Quick Take: refreshing, skin-softening, firming
My purpose was to use this before and after the gym, and I thought it would give me just a temporary toning, for that after gym body glow- BUT I was SOO Surprised.... I still have some left after multiple gym visits and sauna uses.. And my skin on looks AMAZING- after adding to "boobs and underarm areas , they are very much firmer and smoother looking- but I must confess I am 5'7 with a slender athletic build- " zero body fat" so don't know about weight spot problems

-11.21.10
Quick Take: skin-softening, firming, skin-ergizing!
I personally LOVE this product! I use it in the drier months especially because it makes my skin feel so soft. I took a little break from using this (for financial reasons), and I just started using it again a couple of months ago, and I really missed using it more than I thought I would. I think this is a really amazing product that leaves my skin feeling great, soft, and sexy. It does firm it up, but you need to find the balance of just exactly how much you need to use for each body part. I use just a little bit, and it does go a long way. It will probably take about 5 minutes to do your whole body if you're really spending some time massaging it in. I love how my mornings start with a aromatic massage that helps my skin!

Only lasts for one month!
-10.21.10
Quick Take: too little product for the price, only lasts one month, full instructions not included on the site
First off, I absolutely love Caudalie products! Most of my skin care regimen consists of Caudalie. I'm sure this product works very well, however, if used as directed, it will only last a month! There are little notches marked on the back of the bottle, 30 of them, and the instructions that come with the product indicate that you are to use one notch per day. When you have to pay $35 for a bottle... well, that's just not worth the price to me nor the hassle of buying a new bottle each month. It's perfectly fine if you have the budget to handle that, but in my opinion, the instructions about using one notch a day and the bottle being a one-month supply should be included on this website so that the customer can make an educated decision BEFORE purchasing it. Luckily Sephora's return policy rocks my socks off!

Quick Take: refreshing, firming, smoothing
I love this treatment and use it everyday. I love how my skin feels when I use it and wish that I could afford to use the whole line. The company is really great and I have the peace of mind knowing that I'm not putting bad things onto my skin. It smells good, and I would honestly give it 5 stars if they hadn't changed it from a spray bottle to a drip drop bottle dispenser.

-02.10.10
Quick Take: skin-softening, refreshing, firming, smooth
I am using the entire Caudalie firming regimen- firming concentrate, cabernet scrub, and the tea (got them all off caudalie's website, no shipping cost and great free samples). Omg, my legs have never been softer in my life. follow the insructions exactly and you will see results. it's not like you're losing fat but your legs anre shiny and smooth which makes them look firmer and thinner. and while my boyfriend doesn't like the smell, it goes away really fast. just don't put your pants on for ten minutes.
