The Cult Serum That Sells A Bottle Every 30 Seconds

Dark spots and pigmentation are the third largest skin concerns among women – just behind skin firmness and acne. They’re caused by numerous stressors, including breakouts, sun exposure and hormonal fluctuations, but the good news is you can treat it and reveal an even, radiant complexion. Caudalie’s cult Vinoperfect Serum – which launched in 2005 and continues to be a bestseller – is considered the number one anti-dark spot solution in French pharmacies. With one bottle selling every 30 seconds, the powerful blend of botanical ingredients works to regulate melanin production and brighten dark patches over time. 

Viniferine is the star of the show. Created from grapevine sap extract, this key ingredient is known for its ability to brighten, correct dark spots and promote the look of smoother skin. It’s said to be 62 times more effective than vitamin C, regulating melanin production and visibly brighten dark patches over time – plus, it’s gentle. You’ll also find olive squalane on the ingredients list, as well as green rape which promotes better radiance. Expect a milky, soft serum that’s never sticky or tacky – it absorbs fast and can also double up as a hydrating primer.

Now tested on both fair and dark skin, anyone can use it – including men and those who suffer with sensitivities. Likewise, the serum has been deemed safe for those pregnant or breastfeeding, while the oil-free formula means it won’t clog up your pores or affect existing breakouts. Better still, there are zero parabens, sulfates or phthalates, so you needn’t worry about any reactions.
