The serum absorbs exceptionally well, true to its nature. I love the lightweight texture that doesn't feel heavy or suffocating, and it applies smoothly for a fresh feel. I've trusted Caudalie since it's been a renowned brand available even in pharmacies since I was young. The scent isn't off-putting, and after consistent use, I'm considering repurchasing. I'm thrilled to discover great products through The Hwahae Testers. I used to have so many cosmetics that didn't suit me and ended up being discarded. This product is perfect for sensitive skin like mine and great for adding to your routine during dry seasonal changes.
ConsI can't really find anything negative to say. Perhaps just the ingredients? That's twenty characters.
TipIf it feels too light, apply an additional moisturizer on top.

The packaging is sleek, and for a product with lifting properties, it's surprisingly refreshing while still offering great hydration. Although I had to reapply a few times due to the changing seasons, it's not bad considering it's a serum. I love how it goes from moisturizing to silky smooth, and with a scent to match, it feels like a skincare version of a powder compact overall!
ConsThe fragrance is somewhat reminiscent of a powder compact... While it's not particularly unpleasant, I found the lingering scent a bit disappointing.
TipIt can be used alone in summer, but for other seasons, those with combination skin that tends to get oily should definitely follow up with a skin emulsion, essence, and cream.

I love how it doesn't feel sticky after application, leaving a fresh and powdery finish. It instantly hydrates the skin, and when layered, it creates a perfect base for makeup!
ConsThe scent might be polarizing. It's hard to describe... it's unlike any fragrance I've encountered before.
TipIt's great to apply this thoroughly while massaging around the fine lines near the eyes and neck wrinkles!

It's famous for its anti-oxidant properties, thanks to its main ingredient - grape vine extract. 1. Application: It has a light, fluid emulsion texture. You can layer it multiple times without any issues, and it doesn't cause any pilling when you apply foundation over it. This makes it perfect for morning use. 2. Absorption: This is another aspect I absolutely adore, along with its easy application. It absorbs incredibly well, allowing for multiple layers if needed. The finish is so fresh that during hot summer nights, I could get away with using just this serum. It provides enough hydration that it worked well for my dry skin as a summer moisturizer.
Cons1. Scent: It's not really a downside, but the scent surprised me! Given the strong 'grape' image, I expected a fresh, fruity scent. Instead, it has more of a woody aroma from the grape 'vine', with stronger herbal and grassy notes. Personally, I didn't find the scent overpowering, so it wasn't unpleasant to use. 2. Hydration: As someone with extremely dry skin, I found it a bit lacking in moisture when used alone, especially as we're moving into fall. I'd recommend following up with a cream or facial oil to supplement the hydration if you have very dry skin like me!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture and packaging are great! The formula is neither too heavy nor too light, making it easy to incorporate into my skincare routine. It feels fresh and lightweight (almost surprisingly so for a functional product). During this transitional season when I'm using multiple products, the pump dispenser with a locking mechanism is convenient and hygienic. The lock also helps preserve the product, potentially extending its shelf life. After about two weeks of use, I noticed my makeup applied better (maybe due to firmer skin?). However, as it's a functional cosmetic, I think a 6-month to 1-year review would be necessary to fully assess its effectiveness!
ConsThe scent might be polarizing. It's a unique fragrance that's hard to pinpoint - perhaps a mix of grape and herbal notes with a hint of milkiness. It's not a universally appealing scent. Interestingly, I noticed the smell differed when applied after washing my face versus after showering.
TipThis product line boasts recyclable packaging! If I see good results, I plan to repurchase and recycle the container once I've used up the product.

Given my oily skin, I really prioritize how a product feels after application. If I feel even the slightest bit of oiliness, it makes me feel uncomfortable and my skin becomes irritated. While this product doesn't feel completely oil-free, it does seem to have a fresh finish! In the morning, I found that just applying toner and this serum was enough. If you have oily skin like me, you might be able to skip moisturizer in the morning. At night, I applied the serum followed by a hydrating cream, and when I woke up in the morning, my skin felt firmer, living up to its claim as a firming serum. I've been using it for 5 days now, and I haven't experienced any blemishes. It doesn't irritate my skin at all!
ConsThe scent...? Since I have sensitive skin, I usually use fragrance-free products, so I was a bit apprehensive about this. Well, you do get used to it and it fades over time. And the price...? I think the original cost was around 80,000 won. If I see results worth that price, I'll consider purchasing it again. It might be a bit expensive for students though.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt gives a fresh and lightweight feel. The absorption is great, and it applies smoothly. I have combination skin with both dry and oily areas, and I'm prone to atopic dermatitis and acne blemishes, but I used this without any issues. The volume isn't huge, but after using it morning and night for two weeks, I've only used about 1/10 of it. While it doesn't have dramatic effects, it does its job... though it feels like it's missing that last 2% (that's why I deducted one point...). Oh! I noticed some harsh criticism about the scent, but personally, I didn't find it particularly bad or strong. It just seemed ordinary to me.
ConsThere's a lot of obscured information on the box, and it doesn't seem to be just because of language. It creates unnecessary curiosity and gives the impression that the product might be lacking somehow. As for the anti-aging effects, I think we'll need to use it consistently to really tell.

However, this one is moisturizing without feeling oily. - The texture isn't watery, but has a nice firmness to it. When applied, it feels refreshing, which I really liked. - The photo shows the amount dispensed when pumping firmly to the end. As you can see, one pump doesn't give too much product, so it's just the right amount. - It seems gentle. I have super sensitive skin, but when I used it, I didn't experience any blemishes, redness, or itching.
Cons- The scent is like... well, if you're a fan of natural, herbal fragrances, you might enjoy this. For me, the scent reminds me of childhood memories - crushing flower petals and leaves on rocks while playing. It's nostalgic, but not exactly my favorite.

I was curious to try this brand as I had bought it as gifts for family during a European trip, but it's my first time using it personally. Packaging: I personally prefer the paper-based packaging, which is great. Application method: The pump dispenser keeps things clean and hygienic. Texture: It's quite fluid. When applied, it's not sticky and feels refreshing. I like how it spreads lightly on the skin without causing irritation. Absorption: As it's quite fluid, it absorbs well into the skin.
ConsHydration: While I liked the light application, it felt lacking in terms of providing deep hydration beyond just surface moisture. Fragrance: It has a strong perfume-like scent. The fragrance is intense, and I didn't particularly enjoy the lingering scent. Price: This is the most disappointing aspect. It's a bit pricey for just 30ml, making it somewhat burdensome to purchase. I'll update with additional comments as I continue to use it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros▪ Packaging The pump-style container matches the box color and can be locked and opened by twisting without a cap, making it convenient to use right away. ▪ Texture It has a light emulsion-like texture that absorbs well, feeling hydrating and refreshing without being heavy or suffocating. It doesn't cause pilling when used before makeup. It seems suitable for all seasons and skin types. For dry skin, you can layer it with other serums as needed before moving on to the next skincare step. ▪ Blemishes Despite my skin being quite oily due to hot weather and having some inflammatory blemishes lately, I used it cautiously and fortunately, it didn't worsen my skin condition. ▪ Scent As I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, I used it comfortably without any aversion. 《 Summary 》 1. The container is user-friendly and convenient. 2. Although it's an anti-aging product, it's hydrating with a refreshing feel. 3. Its lightweight formula makes it suitable for use without worrying about blemishes. 4. It has a distinctive scent that may be hit or miss for some users.
ConsIt's on the pricier side, so it might be a bit much to buy without expectations. Perhaps because I've only used it for a short time, I haven't noticed any anti-aging effects yet. I'll need to keep using it to see results.
