Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum Review
One Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum is sold every 30 seconds worldwide. It’s a cult-favourite anti-pigmentation serum with many fans. That’s why news of its 2024 update will send ripples through the beauty world. But luckily, you have us to keep you up to speed. Whether you’re a loyal fan or are intrigued to know if this face serum could work for your hyperpigmentation, here’s everything you need to know…
What Are The Changes To The Vinoperfect Serum?
The best-selling formula hasn’t changed. I think I just heard thousands of people exhale all over the world. The bottle has had a very subtle tweak, and the name has been updated. It’s going from the Radiance Serum to the Brightening Dark Spot Serum. This is a smart move from Caudalie; the main skin concern it helps with is dark spots, so it pays to have it on the bottle.
You Will Love The Vinoperfect Serum If…
If you have any dark spots (sun, acne, melasma, age) or hyperpigmentation, you’ll love the Vinoperfect Serum. Not only will it help to correct them, but the innovative formula will also prevent the future appearance of pigmentation. Additionally, this face serum has incredible brightening abilities, so if you want to enhance your skin’s radiance, this is unmatched.
The Vinoperfect Serum isn’t all talk; it’s clinically proven. The serum has undergone tests that prove it reduces dark spots by 25% in 1 week, 63% after 1 month and 81% on darker skin tones.
How Does It Do It?
The Dark Spot Serum is powered by Caudalie’s signature patented ingredient, Viniferine (derived from vine sap), which is 62 times more effective than vitamin C at brightening the skin. The formula is also very hydrating thanks to skin-quenching additions like olive and squalane.
What Does It Smell And Feel Like?
The serum has a lightweight liquid texture that doesn’t feel sticky or oily (it’s oil-free). It absorbs very quickly, leaving the skin feeling soft, hydrated, plump and glowy. It has a fresh, green scent that is very subtle.
Skincare It’s Similar To, And Why It’s Different
There’s nothing quite like the Vinoperfect Serum. Many brands have tried to match its claims and benefits, but I’m yet to see anything come close. It’s the number one hyperpigmentation serum in France for a reason!
How Long Does One Bottle Last?
How long one bottle lasts will vary from person to person. But Caudalie suggests that one bottle will last about a month when used morning and night.
Best Place and Time To Use It?
Apply the serum morning and evening to the face and neck and decollete after cleansing. Leave to fully absorb before applying your moisturiser.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum Design and Aesthetic Is Special Because…
The Vinoperfect Serum has a glass bottle that is minimalistic and luxurious. It has a pipette, which is ideal for avoiding cross-contamination and product waste.
Sustainability and Values…
The formula is vegan, non-comedogenic and non-photosensitizing. It’s paraben-free, mineral oil-free, PEG-free, phthalates-free, phenoxyethanol-free, and oil-free.
The packaging is made from recycled glass and plastic, fully recyclable.
Our Overall Experience
I tested the serum’s radiance claims:
After 7 days: “I’ve enjoyed testing the ‘new’ Vinoperfect Serum. It has a silky-smooth texture that feels refreshing and hydrating on the skin and absorbs quickly. It gave my skin a beautiful glow, which was welcomed on no-makeup makeup days. I don’t suffer from dark spots or hyperpigmentation, but I was drawn to Vinoperfect’s radiance-boosting benefits. I switched my vitamin C serum out for this face serum. I noticed that my skin looked brighter, and my skin tone was more even after just a few days. I usually opt for a light coverage foundation when working from home, and I’ve started skipping it! I’m thrilled about this because I’ll do anything for a few more minutes in bed in the morning. More so, it’s given me greater confidence in my complexion!” – Ceryn, Campaigns team.
Jade tested the serum’s dark spot-brightening claims:
After 7 days: “I like the serum. The texture and smell are lovely; it absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves my skin feeling very soft. I’ve used it for 7 days, and I have seen a subtle difference in the acne marks on my cheeks – they appear lighter. I can’t wait to see the full results after a month! I am also usually worried about using new products due to breakdowns, but I haven’t had any breakouts since using the serum.” – Jade, Merchandising team.
