Most importantly, when applied, it feels like it's nourishing my skin from within, making my nasolabial folds appear less pronounced. And after applying the serum, my makeup doesn't budge and stays firmly in place. I'm considering repurchasing it!
ConsThe fragrance is not particularly pleasant. And the product volume is not very large, but it's not a major disappointment.

It can be applied before going to work or on the neck without any sticky residue. 👍Packaging: When I first received it, the paper packaging looked pretty, and the container itself is also quite nice-looking. The hygienic pump dispenser is also something I appreciate. 👍Non-irritating: There were no trouble-related reactions.
Cons👎Fragrance: It has a faint scent reminiscent of raw perfume, which I didn't particularly like since I usually use skincare products with no fragrance or light citrus scents. However, the fragrance dissipates quickly. 👎Moisturizing power: While the firming effect needs to be observed over a longer period, the moisturizing power is definitely lower than what I'd expect for a dry skin type.

The product packaging is clean, and for a lifting product, it feels fresh yet moisturizing. However, since it's a seasonal change, I had to reapply it a few times, but for a serum, the level of moisturization was not bad!! The transition from feeling hydrated to smooth, along with a similar fragrance, gave me an overall impression of a powder foundation's skincare version!!
ConsThe fragrance is a bit like powder foundation... It's not significantly strange, but the lingering scent was a bit disappointing.
TipIn the summer, it can be used alone, but for the rest of the seasons, those with combination skin that becomes oily will need to use a skin lotion, essence, and cream.

I thought the lifting serum would have a bit more viscosity, but when I first pumped it, I was surprised by how thin it was. That's probably why it absorbs so quickly! ✔️ Since it absorbs so fast, I can apply my makeup right after using it in the morning without any issues like pilling or anything. ✔️ Once it's absorbed, the finish is so nice! It has a plump, bouncy feel when it first goes on, but after a little while, the surface of my skin feels silky smooth. ✔️ I'm only writing this review after using it for a week, so I haven't seen dramatic lifting effects yet, but I do want to keep using it consistently.
Cons✔️ I was expecting a berry scent since it's made with patented grape ingredients, but when I first smelled it, it was a mix of berry and a slight plastic-y note that caught me off guard. However, the lingering scent after application, if you can even call it that, is a subtle, sophisticated fragrance! You just have to get past the initial scent when you first apply it. Overall, everything else was great, but that initial scent was a bit disappointing, so I'm taking off one star.

I personally didn't experience any allergic reactions, but those with sensitivities should be cautious. During the usage period, I didn't notice any significant skin improvements, so it doesn't seem to be a product that produces quick results. ✔️Texture I thought the milky, opaque serum would be heavily concentrated and dense, but it's actually thinner than expected and spreads easily on the face with good application. Lifting or anti-wrinkle products often feel like they sit on top of the skin, but this one absorbs well, likely due to the thinner consistency. ✔️Moisture Balance Despite the opaque appearance, it's not an overly oily formula. The serum feels refreshingly lightweight without a heavy, greasy sensation. I think even those with oily skin could use this comfortably. ✔️Gentle Formula Even with my very thin and sensitive skin, it didn't cause any irritation or breakouts! Unless you have a specific allergy to the natural ingredients, this should be gentle enough for those with sensitive skin to use as well.
Cons😕 Fragrance I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, so I usually use fragrance-free skincare products. Even if a product has a natural scent, it's still a bit challenging for me to use. This product's fragrance, while not overpowering, was still difficult for me. For those who regularly use fragranced products, it may not be as bothersome, but for someone as sensitive to scents as I am, I can't recommend this. 😕 Lifting Effect? To be honest, I'm not at the age where I'm particularly concerned about lifting, so I can't speak to the effectiveness in that regard. However, a firming cream I used recently gave me a tighter, more supple feeling after application, but I didn't experience that with this serum. Of course, results can vary, but based on my personal experience, I didn't feel any noticeable skin-tightening or lifting effects. 😕 Dryness I believe hydration is crucial for anti-aging products, especially those focused on lifting and wrinkle improvement. Despite the lotion-like texture, this product's moisturizing ability is quite poor. At times, it even left my skin feeling drier than a typical water-based serum. For dry skin types, this likely won't provide enough hydration, and it may be more suitable for normal to oily skin. Those with dry skin seeking a deeply moisturizing lifting serum should look elsewhere.

It's not sticky, but it's not overly drying either - it's just the right consistency. When applied, it's quickly absorbed and doesn't cause any issues with layering other products. On days when you don't feel like doing a full routine, this serum alone can keep your skin from feeling dry. However, in the winter, this might not be enough on its own. But overall, after trying it, I think it's hard to find a more balanced, basic serum type that's not too much or too little.
ConsSince it's a pump-style formula, it's easy to use, but the texture is a bit thin, so it can splatter around the opening when dispensing. That means you have to be careful to wipe the area around the opening. And the biggest downside is the fragrance - I really don't like it. It's not the typical fragrance you find in recent skincare products. The scent seems to dissipate quickly, but every time I apply it, I think 'this just doesn't work for me.' I feel like the fragrance doesn't blend well with other skin care products I use.

It felt refreshing and not at all heavy (almost functional in its lightness). Also, during this transitional weather when I have to apply a lot of products, the simple pump dispenser made it quick and clean to apply. The locking mechanism also allows for easy and tidy storage, so I think I can use this functional skincare product within its expiration date. After about 2 weeks of use, my makeup seemed to go on better (like it made my skin more supple?), but as this is a functional product, I'll need 6 months to a year of usage to really see the full effects!
ConsThe scent was a bit divisive. It had a grape-like or grassy note, with a slightly milky aroma. It's not a scent that everyone would likely enjoy. However, I did find the smell to be a bit different when I applied it after cleansing versus after showering, which was interesting.
TipThe product line mentions that the packaging is recyclable, so if I'm happy with the effects, I plan to repurchase and recycle the container.

It is very moisturizing and the moisturizing effect lasts a long time even without applying a cream. Also, the non-sticky feel on the face and neck was pleasing. 👍👍👍👍👍Safe for Sensitive Skin I have a skin that easily gets irritated and flushed when I use just any skincare product, but this one didn't cause any irritation at all. It was a gentle product that didn't make my skin red or feel uncomfortable. 👍👍👍Daily Serum As a moisturizing serum, it absorbs quickly, making it a great product for both night and morning care. 👍👍👍👍👍Ingredients It contains 97% plant-derived ingredients and does not have any animal-derived ingredients like parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, or PEG. I'm glad I can use this conscientious product with peace of mind. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Eco-Friendly Brand👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not only do I love the feel, moisturizing effect, and functionality of the product, but I'm also very impressed by the brand's eco-friendly mindset. I learned that this brand has planted 7,529,086 trees since 2012, and plans to plant 8,000,000 trees worldwide in 2021. It feels like both my skin and my heart will be nourished.
Cons🥲Fragrance I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, but this one has a somewhat perfume-like scent that isn't quite my preference. However, fragrance perception can be quite personal, so I recommend trying it out for yourself. 🥲Price The price for the small size of this serum is quite steep at over 80,000 won. While I do have the intention to repurchase, the price is a bit of a hurdle.
Tip❤️♥️❤️This is a recommended seasonal transition item that can be used daily.❤️♥️❤️

Although I've only been taking resveratrol for a few months, I've started to believe in the various research results, so I immediately applied for this product when it was listed on Hwahae. After using it for about 2 weeks, I feel like I've found the serum of my life. All the skincare products I use focus on firmness. However, the characteristic of firmness-focused skincare is that the formulas are often sticky and heavy, which can also cause trouble. The Caudalie serum is almost as thin as a toner, and the absorption is incredibly good. Although it's temporary, I feel my skin tightening right after application. Since managing firmness requires long-term and consistent use, it's important to use a product that's easy to reach for, and this product is so easy to use in terms of formula that it doesn't feel irritating even when applied over retinol.
ConsThe really disappointing part is the fragrance. It's not strongly scented, but it has the smell of expired foundation. If the ingredients and formula hadn't impressed me so much, I probably wouldn't have used the product because the fragrance is quite unpleasant. The price is a bit steep, but I'm willing to invest in this product for at least the next 3 months, even if I have to cut back on other things.

I think even oily skin types could use this without much burden. However, as I have dry skin, I'll need to apply a moisturizing cream on top, especially in the windy winter. - The fast absorption means there's no sticky feeling left behind. So it's easy to use even in the busy mornings.
Cons- The fragrance is too irritating. To me, it smells like an old cosmetic product. I don't think I'll repurchase this because of the scent. - The price is burdensome. I probably won't buy this product at this price.
