At GLAMOUR, we love testing out viral beauty products. We always wonder if they live up to the hype on social media. What makes them special? Do they bring something new to the market? And most importantly, do they actually work as promised?
So, when we came across the Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum claiming to be 62 times more effective than vitamin C – a top ingredient recommended by dermatologists for brightening dull skin – we were intrigued and a bit skeptical. The secret ingredient? Viniferine, a patented ingredient from vine sap.
Back in the day in French vineyards, young girls used grapevine sap on their skin to reduce dark spots and brighten their complexion. It helps regulate melanin production and fade marks from sun exposure, aging, acne, or pregnancy. The formula is gentle and suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. And based on clinical trials, it actually works.
In just 8 weeks, the Vinoperfect Dark Spot Serum visibly reduced dark spots by 63% on all skin tones and by 81% on deeper skin tones. Even after just 7 days, dark spots were visibly brightened by 25%. No wonder a bottle of this serum sells every 30 seconds worldwide.
Now, Caudalie is introducing a new product to the range – the Brightening Micropeel Foam. It acts like a cleanser to gently remove dead skin cells, revealing a clearer, brighter complexion. 81% of testers noticed an improvement in just 30 seconds. So, we had to put it to the test.
Three GLAMOUR staffers with different dark spot concerns tried out the Vinoperfect Dark Spot Serum & Brightening Micropeel Foam to see if they live up to the hype. Here are the results…
Fiona Ward, GLAMOUR’s Acting Website Director, gave it a 9/10 rating. She had acne scarring on her cheeks and was eager to see if these products could help fade them. After two weeks of using the Vinoperfect serum each morning, her skin was brighter, more even, and felt balanced and hydrated. She loved that it’s a natural alternative to niacinamide and vitamin C, gentle on the skin without any tingling or reaction. The Brightening Micropeel Foam was a game-changer for glow, instantly exfoliating and brightening her skin gently. She plans on using it daily and as a skin booster for special occasions.
Robyn Eugene, GLAMOUR’s Social Media Manager, also rated it 9/10.
