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.

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.

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.ProsFirst off, I've been dying to try Caudalie for ages! 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!

No blemishes despite having sensitive skin 2. Absorbs well with good application 3. Light texture but adequately rich 4. Makeup adheres well without pilling 5. Twist-cap prevents accidental dispensing -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. No blemishes despite having sensitive skin Recently my skin has become super sensitive, so I'm always apprehensive about trying new cosmetics. Fortunately, I've been using this without any issues. However, this may vary for different skin types, so those with super sensitive skin should check the ingredient list before use. 2. Absorbs well with good application It has a fluid texture with a nice richness rather than stickiness, allowing it to absorb well into the skin. Those with oily skin might find one light application sufficient. 3. Light texture but adequately rich *Highly recommended for those who dislike heavy textures!* *Suggest double layering for dry skin* I appreciated that it felt more nourishing than the lightness seen in the photo suggests. After patting it in, the richness fades to a slightly moisturized feel after about 2 hours (for dry areas). As someone with combination skin, I found this a bit lacking. However, reapplying after initial absorption provides long-lasting richness, which could work well for those with dry skin. 4. Makeup adheres well without pilling *For oily skin, apply once before makeup *For dry skin, double layer and pat in well before makeup for long-lasting richness We know makeup tends to break down if you apply rich skincare products beforehand when you have dry skin, right? That's why I particularly liked this product - it has the perfect texture for applying before makeup! It spreads thinly while having that richness that helps makeup adhere well. Due to mask-wearing, you might want to set with powder for a matte exterior with hydrated interior makeup look.
ConsDrawbacks: 1. Too expensive While the product effectiveness was very appealing to me, I don't think I could justify buying it with my own money... 2. The scent might be divisive At first, I perceived it as an artificial fragrance typical of expensive cosmetics, but interestingly, after using it a few times, it started to smell more herbal. I enjoy herbal scents, but those who prefer unscented products might not like it.
TipFor those with dry skin, double layer and pat in well to absorb before applying makeup for better adherence. If you set with powder, you can achieve a matte exterior with hydrated interior look, and the moisturizing effect lasts quite long.

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.ProsBasic info: 30ml, made in France, anti-wrinkle functional cosmetic Packaging: Sturdy glass container. Pump-style dispenser which is great for minimizing air exposure. Color and texture: Milky white, light emulsion consistency Application, hydration, and wrinkle improvement: Silky texture that feels soft and moisturizing. No stickiness at all. Extremely hydrating when applied, with a slight oiliness that seems good for moisturizing. Skin feels hydrated even minutes after absorption. Excellent moisturizing effect. Haven't noticed significant wrinkle improvement in less than a month of use, but it's been gentle on the skin Ingredients: Contains Palmitoyl Grape Vine Shoot Extract, which explains the grape illustration on the bottle. Seems to be the key ingredient. Love the smooth application, hydrating effect, and gentle ingredients (except for fragrance) true to its natural cosmetics claim. Overall, very satisfying!
ConsConcerned about the three fragrance-related potential allergens. Was the scent really necessary? Disappointing to see these fragrance ingredients. Scent: Personally not a fan of this unique, unidentifiable fragrance
TipThanks to its light consistency, a small pump goes a long way - you can cover quite a large area as it absorbs well!

The finish is just right - not too oily, yet not too light. It's gentle enough that it didn't cause any redness on my sensitive skin, and I used it without any blemishes. I'm really pleased with the pump packaging too!
ConsThe only downside is that Caudalie as a brand tends to be on the pricier side, which might make it less accessible for some. Other than that, I have no complaints.

My skin drinks it up, leaving a wonderful hydrated feeling. However, due to skin irritation, I couldn't use it for long.
ConsI have sensitive skin that tends to react when seasons change. Not sure if it's because of this product, but my skin became very irritated. As it got progressively worse, I had to stop using it before the 2-week mark. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the lifting and anti-wrinkle effects because of this.
TipI used to pump it twice each time, but after reading other reviews, I see that's not recommended. I wonder if my skin reaction was due to using too much. Try gradually increasing the amount as you use it.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. Due to the Chuseok holiday, I've only been able to use it for about a week after delivery. I'll add more thoughts after using it longer. It absorbs extremely well and has excellent application. While many products with lifting or anti-aging claims often have slightly heavier, elastic textures, this product has a water-like consistency and lightly hydrates the skin. It seems suitable as an introductory lifting product for those in their late 20s or 30s. For the first few days, I only used it for night care, but since it's not heavy, I've been using it both morning and evening lately. Recently, I've been doing a simple skincare routine with this serum and a moisturizer. It gives a nice glow, making the skin look smooth. It feels like it refines the skin texture. I liked the packaging. As someone who frequently orders cosmetics online, I appreciated that Caudalie's shipping package was entirely made of paper, making it easy to recycle. The container itself has a pump, which is more hygienic than a dropper type, and I liked that you can lock the pump by turning it.
ConsThe scent was a bit unusual and unfamiliar. It's not an unpleasant or bad smell, but it's a fragrance I've never encountered in cosmetics before. It's a plant scent, but not a subtle, fragrant one - it's more like the intense, raw plant smell you get when pruning houseplants, which surprised me. Since I've only used it for a week, I haven't noticed any lifting effects yet. I like the first impression, so I'll keep using it consistently and add more thoughts later.

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.

I've previously used IOPE and Wellage for firming products. - This is my first time trying Caudalie, and I loved these three aspects: 1. Texture - The texture is fantastic. It's not too runny or snotty, but just right - a light essence consistency. 2. Tightening effect - At first, I didn't notice anything special, making me wonder if it was effective. But after a while, I tried waiting a bit before applying my moisturizer, and I was amazed to feel my skin tightening. It wasn't drying, but I could feel an inner firmness. It gave a real tightening sensation. 3. Packaging - The container is hygienic and convenient to use. It might seem like a minor detail, but I believe user-friendly packaging design is crucial for cosmetics, so I'm including it as a plus. A few more things about this product: 1. Scent - Some reviews complained, but I personally liked it. - It has that typical French skincare fragrance. 2. Absorption - The absorption is average - neither particularly good nor bad. 3. Oil and moisture balance - The oil and moisture balance is well-maintained. As it's an essence, it might be drying if used alone, but it works perfectly with just one layer of moisturizer. I've only been using it for about two weeks, so I haven't seen any dramatic effects yet. However, my sensitive skin hasn't developed any blemishes, and I don't feel dry even when I only apply this essence and one moisturizer. I plan to keep using it consistently.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked. Well... if I had to mention something, maybe the price?
TipIt's not exactly a pro tip, but as I mentioned above, when I used this product followed by my usual moisturizer, my skin condition was great the next day.
