Caudalie Vinoperfect serum advertises correction of your dark spots and a radiant complexion, regardless of your skin type.
But we’ve heard many impressive claims about other skin lightening products before. Some live up to them, and some don’t.
Let’s see how well Caudalie Vinoperfect does…

What’s in it?
This dark spot reducing product is oil-free and concentrated, helping also to promote a more even skin tone. The main ingredient is Viniferine, which the company says has proven to be about 62 times as effective as using vitamin C for skin lightening and skin care.
What is this mysterious ingredient? It is actually extracted from grape vine sap, and is thought to be a very effective natural product in the treatment of dark spots.
Viniferine is believed to be able to reduce your dark spots and hyper-pigmentation, as well as preventing more dark spots from appearing. Its antioxidants protect your skin from further damage as they clear it.
This specific type of serum is free of parabens and sulfates and is non-comedogenic. We have found that we prefer products without a distinct fragrance, but this scent is light and not bothersome.
What other active ingredients does Caudalie Vinoperfect use?
This serum contains squalane and vitamin E, and not a lot of extra ingredients, but that’s not a bad thing, since their purpose is sometimes a mystery.
How is the product used?
Caudalie Vinoperfect serum is liquid but thick, so it’s quite easy to spread over your face. As your skin becomes more accustomed to it, you will find that it is more easily absorbed. Applying to moist skin provided us with better absorption when we tested it, too.
When you first apply the serum, your skin might feel a bit sticky, but if you give it just a minute, it will be absorbed into your skin, and it will feel soft and smooth. It adds moisture to your skin, as well.
We found that Caudalie Vinoperfect did a good job of getting rid of dark spots. It doesn’t perform like a hydroquinone product, but most people don’t want to use a product that may cause cancer, as the FDA has stated about hydroquinone.
We saw solid signs of skin improvement within a month or so. You’ll find your skin to be more radiant and evenly toned. It also didn’t irritate the skin at all, which was a nice change from some products. It worked well on acne scars, too.
What do we like the most about Caudalie Vinoperfect?
This serum utilizes mostly natural type ingredients, instead of harsh chemicals that can cause redness and irritation. It also contains helpful antioxidants that your skin needs, in order to fight free radicals.
Caudalie Vinoperfect plumped the skin, and gave it light moisturization. It faded the dark spots we targeted, and evened out skin tone.
What don’t we like about the serum?
We’d prefer a formula with more numerous antioxidants, and one that contained more of the vital ingredient of Viniferine, or Grape Vine Shoot Extract.
The price is a little high, too at just about $80 for one ounce.
Customer Reviews
I like this serum quite a bit. At first, I was attracted by its beautiful packaging — glass bottle with silver letters and a glass pipette! I’m a sucker for the functional yet classy bottle.
This is the first Caudalie product I ever purchased and it does deliver its promise. I have combination skin that is very dehydrated and sensitive (many products break me out). But this serum hasn’t caused any problems. I apply it every evening right before moisturizer and it is light, absorbs quickly, not too heavy when used in conjunction with a moisturizer (i.e. doesn’t give a overly greasy/too-much-product kind of feel). Next morning, I do notice a subtle glow/radiance. Given the relatively reasonable cost ($60 compared to some other serums which run $200+), I think it’s a great product and would definitely repurchase. (already used up a full sized bottle, am using a sample size right now) – crystallineteddy
i’d give this a 3.5 if i could, it’s not amazing, but it’s nice, it didn’t necessarily do anything for my dark spots but it made my skin feel hydrated and supple as well as helping my makeup stay on flawlessly which i love. i actually only received samples of this, 3 5 mil samples from space.nk when buying a clarisonic and although i wouldn’t necessarily rave over it, i think if you’re looking for a simple day serum this would do the job perfectly 🙂 advanced night repair and kiehls line reducing are still my hg serums – samuellewis
Our Evaluation
We found Caudalie Vinoperfect to be effective when used properly. Like some other users, we’d like to see it include more of the natural ingredient from grape vine sap, but overall, we felt it performed well. We’d like to see a lower price tag, too.
