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.

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.

Spreadability It's a thin lotion formula, but I was able to apply it multiple times without any issues, and even when applying it before makeup, my foundation didn't slide at all, so it was great to use in the mornings. 2. Absorption In addition to the first point, this was another part I really liked. It absorbs really well, so I was able to apply it multiple times without any problems, and the finish was refreshing, so in the hot summer I would just finish with the serum and go to sleep. It has a good amount of moisture as well, so it was great for my dry skin in the summer.
Cons1. Fragrance Rather than a downside, it was just surprising that the fragrance was different than I expected. Since the image of 'grape' is strong, I thought it would have a refreshing scent, but the woody scent from the 'grape vine' was more prominent, and there was also a slight herbal/grassy fragrance that was stronger. It wasn't overpowering by my standards, so it wasn't bad when using it. 2. Moisture Since my skin is extremely dry, lately as we move into fall, using it alone without a moisturizer feels a bit drying. I think this part can be addressed by applying a serum and then following up with a cream or oil!

No trouble at all even with sensitive skin 2. Good spreadability and absorption 3. Light texture but appropriately bouncy 4. Makeup adheres well with no sliding 5. Twist-lock function to prevent leakage 1. No trouble at all even with sensitive skin My skin has become very sensitive lately, so I was worried about trying a new cosmetic product. Fortunately, I was able to use it without any issues. However, this may vary depending on individual skin types, so I would recommend checking the ingredients carefully, especially for those with highly sensitive skin. 2. Good spreadability and absorption The texture is watery, but it has an appropriate bounciness without stickiness. It absorbs well into the skin when applied. For oily skin types, a light single layer should be sufficient. 3. Light texture but appropriately bouncy *Highly recommended for those who dislike heavy textures!* *Dry skin types can try layering twice* The product feels more nourishing than the lightweight texture suggests. After patting and allowing absorption, a single layer lasts around 2 hours (for dry areas) before the bounciness fades, leaving a slightly moisturized finish. As a combination skin type, I felt it was slightly lacking, but layering it again helps the bouncy effect last longer. So dry skin types can benefit from this layering technique. 4. Makeup adheres well with no sliding *Oily skin types can use this alone before makeup, Dry skin types can layer it twice to thoroughly absorb before applying makeup* Dry skin types often find that their makeup doesn't last long when the base is not hydrated enough. This product's texture is particularly suitable for applying before makeup, as it creates a bouncy, long-lasting base. Lightly applied, the makeup adheres well without sliding. You can also set it with powder for a long-lasting, dewy makeup look.
Cons🤍 Downsides 1. The price is too expensive The product performance was extremely appealing to me, but I don't think I can justify the cost to purchase it... 2. The fragrance may be divisive At first, I felt the fragrance had an artificial, expensive cosmetic scent. But surprisingly, after using it a few times, I started to perceive it as more of a floral, herbal scent. I personally enjoy floral scents, but those who prefer unscented products may not appreciate it.
TipFor dry skin types, layering the product twice and thoroughly patting it in before applying makeup helps the makeup adhere well. If you also set it with powder, you can achieve a dewy, long-lasting makeup look that maintains moisture for quite a while.

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 spreadability is amazing, it absorbs into the skin without leaving an oily residue and gives a nice, flushed look! I also like the signature Caudalie scent. It's not at all greasy or heavy, so it can be used before makeup in the morning. The makeup applies well on top of it. Caudalie's other products can be quite oily, so I don't usually prefer them unless it's the dead of winter, but this one should work well for dry skin types too. I recommend this for combination/oily skin!
ConsThe price-to-volume ratio is a bit disappointing... There is a slight 'tightening' or 'plumping' sensation after applying the product, but I'll have to use it for longer to see if it actually improves wrinkles (I've been using it for 11 consecutive days so far)
TipUsing the whole product line would likely enhance the benefits, but even just this one product seems to give a nice, firm, volumized look with consistent use.

This was very convenient. ▪︎Texture The formula has a lightweight, lotion-like texture that absorbs quickly and leaves a refreshing, non-greasy feel. It doesn't interfere with makeup application. It seems suitable for use in all seasons and skin types. When my skin feels dry, I can layer it with other ampoules before moving on to the next skincare step. ▪︎Skin Concerns Even though the weather has been hot and my skin tends to get oily with inflammatory blemishes lately, I'm relieved that this product didn't exacerbate those issues. ▪︎Fragrance As someone who is not particularly sensitive to fragrance, I was able to use this product without any aversion to the scent. 《 Summary 》 1. The convenient packaging makes it easy to use. 2. Despite being an anti-aging product, it has a hydrating, refreshing texture. 3. The lightweight formula allows for worry-free use, even for blemish-prone skin. 4. The distinct fragrance may be a matter of personal preference.
ConsThe price is on the higher end, so I had modest expectations when purchasing. I haven't noticed significant anti-aging benefits yet, which may be due to the short duration of use. I'll need to continue using it to see more noticeable results.

It's very moisturizing and absorbs quickly, leaving a non-sticky, refreshing finish. I liked using it both in the evening and before makeup in the morning, as it didn't cause any pilling. The subtle, sophisticated fragrance was also pleasant, and it immediately replenished my skin's moisture and addressed dryness.
ConsDry skin types should definitely layer on a nourishing cream as well!
TipFor dry skin types, layering the product and allowing it to fully absorb made my skin feel even more moisturized. I applied it generously to areas of my face that lacked firmness. Layering it with a firming cream can also be beneficial to further enhance its effects!

My skin texture seems to have improved. When I apply it before makeup in the morning, it doesn't pill and my makeup applies smoothly and evenly. My sensitive skin, which tends to break out if the ingredients don't agree with it, was able to use this product comfortably on a daily basis. The short test period may be why I didn't notice significant improvements in wrinkles or elasticity, but my skin tone did become more even and I'm satisfied with the results. I think with continued, long-term use, the effects will become more noticeable. - Usage Routine: I used it every morning and evening after cleansing and toning. - Fragrance: The fragrance is subtle and natural, with a sophisticated, masculine scent. It's the kind of scent that may be polarizing, but I personally found it pleasant and not overpowering. - Texture: The lightweight, fluid texture absorbs well and leaves a non-sticky finish. The lack of oiliness makes it suitable for oily skin types as well. The texture is similar to the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum.
ConsSince the Caudalie brand generally has high customer satisfaction, there aren't any major drawbacks to the product itself, but the high price point is a bit disappointing.
TipAs this is a wrinkle-improving product, it would also be great to apply around the neck area. Applying it before makeup helps the makeup apply smoothly.

It's not oily and provides decent hydration for seasonal changes, absorbing quickly. It has a thin, lotion-like texture. If you want something richer, you can use another product in the evening. This one doesn't interfere with makeup when used before. I was curious about using a product with resveratrol, which is a well-known antioxidant, in addition to taking it as a supplement. While some dislike the scent, it's not as pungent as 'grandma's perfume' like some Korean drugstore brands - it's more like a high-end luxury cosmetic fragrance, which I found tolerable. The simple, lidless packaging that seals is convenient, and I liked the color.
ConsThe product had about a year left on the expiration date, and the box had a sticker claiming it was clinically tested at Harvard, which made me lose some trust. Evaluating the lifting effects after only 1-2 weeks of use is too short a timeframe, and I'm skeptical that this product alone can provide significant lifting results.
