What's most impressive is that when applied, it feels like it's filling from deep within rather than just moisturizing the surface, making even smile lines seem less noticeable. Plus, it's amazing how makeup doesn't pill over it after applying serum. I'm definitely looking to repurchase!
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant. And the quantity isn't very generous. But these are minor drawbacks, nothing too disappointing.

No stickiness when applied before work or on the neck. 👍 Packaging: I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful paper packaging upon receipt. The container itself is also quite attractive, which lifted my spirits! I appreciated the hygienic pump dispenser as well. 👍 Gentle: No blemishes or irritation occurred.
Cons👎 Scent: There's a subtle fragrance reminiscent of perfume. As someone who usually uses unscented or lightly citrus-scented skincare products, I found the scent unappealing. However, it does dissipate quickly. 👎 Hydration: While it's too soon to verify the firming effects, as a dry skin type, I definitely felt the hydration was lacking.

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 was expecting it to be thicker since it's called a lifting serum, but I was surprised by how runny it was when I first pumped it out. Because of this, it absorbs incredibly fast! ✔️ Due to its quick absorption, there's no pilling or issues when applying makeup right after using it in the morning! ✔️ The finish after absorption is fantastic! Right after it sinks in, there's a firm feeling, but after a short while, the skin surface feels silky smooth. ✔️ Since I'm writing this review after only a week of use, I haven't seen dramatic lifting effects, but it definitely makes me want to keep using it consistently.
Cons✔️ I was expecting a berry scent since it's made with patented grapevine ingredients, but when I first smelled it, I was taken aback by a mix of berry and a slight plastic scent. However, after applying it, the lingering fragrance - if I can call it that - is a subtle, luxurious scent once the serum is absorbed! You just need to get past the initial scent when applying! Everything else was great, but I deducted one star because of this aspect.

While I didn't experience any allergic reactions personally, those with sensitivities should be cautious. I didn't notice any significant skin improvements during the usage period, so it's probably not a product that shows quick results. ✔️Texture I expected a thick, concentrated feel from the milky, opaque serum, but it's surprisingly lightweight and spreads easily on the face! Unlike many lifting and anti-wrinkle products that can sit on the skin, this one absorbs well, likely due to its thinner consistency. ✔️Oil and moisture balance Despite its opaque appearance, which made me think it would be oily, this serum feels light and fresh with barely any oiliness! It should work well even for those with oily skin. ✔️Gentle formula Even with my extremely thin and sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation or blemishes! Unless you have allergies to natural ingredients, this should be gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.
Cons😕 Fragrance As someone quite sensitive to scents who usually uses fragrance-free skincare, I found this product a bit challenging to use. While it's not overpowering, I can't recommend it to those who are sensitive to fragrances like me. However, if you're used to scented products, you might not find it bothersome. 😕 Lifting effect? While I might be too young to fully assess its lifting properties, I didn't feel the immediate tightening effect I've experienced with other firming creams. Of course, feeling isn't everything, but it's the main way I can gauge effectiveness, and I didn't notice my skin feeling firmer. 😕 Dryness I believe hydration is crucial in anti-aging products, especially those for lifting and wrinkle improvement. Despite its emulsion-like texture, this product lacks in moisturizing power. Sometimes it even feels drier than typical water-based hydrating serums. It's insufficient for dry skin and seems more suited for combination dehydrated skin. I wouldn't recommend it to those with dry skin looking for a super hydrating lifting serum.

It's a well-balanced formula that's neither sticky nor drying. It absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer without any issues. On days when I'm feeling lazy, I can just apply this and my skin doesn't feel dry. While it might not be enough on its own for winter, I've found it hard to find a serum that's this perfectly balanced - not too much, not too little. It's truly the basic serum type I've been looking for.
ConsThe pump dispenser makes it convenient to use, but the slightly runny texture causes it to splash around the opening, so you need to wipe it clean regularly. The biggest drawback, however, is the fragrance. I really don't like it. It's not like the pleasant scents in modern cosmetics. Although the smell seems to dissipate quickly, every time I apply it, I think 'this isn't right'. When used with other skincare products, the scent clashes terribly - it's like trying to mix oil and water.

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.

It's hydrating and keeps my skin moisturized for a long time, even without applying cream. I also love that it feels non-sticky when applied not just to the face, but also to the neck. Suitable for Sensitive Skin: 5/5 My skin easily develops blemishes and redness when I use just any skincare product. However, this serum caused no irritation at all. It's a gentle product that didn't cause redness or tingling. Daily Serum: 3/5 Being a hydrating serum, it absorbs quickly, making it satisfying for both night and morning care routines. Ingredients: 5/5 I appreciate that it contains 97% plant-derived ingredients and doesn't include animal-derived parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oils, or PEGs. It's reassuring to use a product with such thoughtful ingredients. Eco-Friendly Brand: 5/5 While I love the product's feel, hydration, and effectiveness, what impresses me most is the brand's admirable ethos. It's my first time trying this brand, and I've learned that they've planted 7,529,086 trees since 2012 and plan to plant 8,000,000 trees worldwide in 2021. It feels like both my skin and conscience will benefit from this product.
ConsFragrance: 2/5 While I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, the scent is somewhat perfume-like and not to my taste. However, fragrance perception varies from person to person, so give it a try yourself! Price: 2/5 The price is quite steep for the amount you get. It's hard to justify over $80 for such a small serum. While I'd consider repurchasing, the price gives me pause.
TipHighly recommended for daily use during seasonal transitions!

Though I've only been taking resveratrol for a few months, I started believing in its benefits based on various studies. When this product appeared on Hwahae, I immediately applied for it. After using it for about two weeks, I feel like I've found my holy grail serum. All my skincare focuses on firmness, but firming products often have sticky, heavy textures that can cause blemishes. The Caudalie serum, however, is almost as thin as a toner and absorbs incredibly well. Right after application, I feel an instant tightening effect, though it may be temporary. Since firming requires consistent, long-term care, it's crucial to use products that you reach for easily. This one layers beautifully, and its texture is so user-friendly that it's not irritating even when applied over retinol.
ConsThe only real downside is the scent. While it's not overpowering, it smells like expired foundation. If I hadn't been so impressed with the ingredients and texture, I might not have used the product because of the fragrance. The price is a bit steep, but I plan to cut back on other things and invest in this product for at least the next three months.

It seems like even those with oily skin could use this without much issue. However, as someone with dry skin, I'll definitely need to layer a moisturizer over this during the windy winter months. - It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, which is great. This makes it perfect for busy mornings when I'm in a rush.
Cons- The fragrance is quite bothersome. To me, it smells like old-fashioned cosmetics. Because of this scent, I probably won't repurchase. - The price point is a bit steep. I'm not sure I'd buy this product at this cost.
