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.

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.

This is my first time trying a Caudalie product since then! While this Lift Serum is on the pricier side, I've seen quite impressive lifting results! I used it consistently for 4 days to calm my skin after a recent flare-up. ✔️ Used small amounts, focusing on the nasolabial area, smile lines, and around the eyes ✔️ The color difference in the before/after photos is due to lighting ✔️ The 'after' photo was edited for clarity as it was slightly out of focus. Please concentrate on the appearance of pores I didn't notice much with the naked eye, but comparing the before and after, the pores seem less saggy. It's amazing to see results after such a short time! As we all know, with age, pores become more noticeable, especially in the nasolabial area. I was hoping for some pore-tightening effects, but that's still unclear. So far, it seems to lift sagging skin and pores rather than reducing their size. I'm thrilled with these results after just 4 days! The texture is like a hydrating cream with medium richness. Being a serum, it's lightweight and applies smoothly, providing a nice dose of hydration! It leaves a slightly moisturizing finish but absorbs quickly, so it doesn't feel heavy after application. As noted in my profile, I have sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes, itching, or eye irritation while using this lifting serum. (I was worried because hyaluronic acid doesn't usually agree with me, but it was fine, probably due to the small amount used.) Lastly, the luxurious Caudalie-patterned product box made me feel like I was receiving a gift when I opened it! The bottle is sturdy, made of thick, matte glass, and the baby pink color at the opening might be their trademark? It's cute, feminine, and elegant - it makes me happy every time I use it! There's no separate cap; you twist to open/close. As someone who's lazy about skincare, this is my first time using a lifting serum, and I'm impressed enough to keep using it! It's handy on days when I don't feel like applying eye cream - I can just use this serum instead.
ConsAs many have mentioned, it's the fragrance... Oh, why did they choose this scent? 🥲 I don't like sandalwood, and I recently bought a hand cream with a strong sandalwood scent. This lifting serum smells exactly the same... déjà vu, perhaps? ㅠㅜ Encountering that scent again... It's strong and reminds me of men's skincare products. If only they could improve the fragrance, it would be even better! I'd almost prefer an artificial cosmetic scent... Fortunately, the scent doesn't linger too long on the face, but on days when I'm not feeling well or my nose is sensitive, I might hesitate to use it because of the fragrance ㅠㅡㅠ
TipIf you have oily or sensitive skin, or like me, have ingredients that don't agree with you, try applying a small amount and gently patting it into the areas where you want lifting effects!

For balancing hydration, I find serums generally work better for my skin. While I've only briefly tried Caudalie's Elixir before, the brand always brings to mind images of purity and clarity. So I had high hopes for their Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum even before using it! My experience both exceeded expectations in some areas and fell short in others. My skin varies between very dry cheeks and a slightly less dry forehead that tends to get oily. I often use different products on different areas, especially during seasonal changes. This serum was a perfect match for my forehead - it really hit the spot! My skin had been struggling with excess oil and blemishes due to weather changes, but after switching to just this serum, my forehead became much clearer. It feels well-hydrated and looks smoother, perhaps thanks to the firming ingredients. For my cheeks, I can use it every other day, but daily use leaves them feeling a bit dry. In conclusion, I think it would be ideal for combination to oily skin types, but might not be quite enough for dry skin. I don't expect miracles from skincare, so I'm quite satisfied with this serum's performance. However, I'm disappointed by the strong fragrance, which is quite noticeable during application.
ConsContains artificial fragrances and has a strong scent. The hydration level may be insufficient for dry skin types.
TipA serum that could be very satisfying for combination to oily skin types, offering good oil-moisture balance and firming effects!

First off, the texture is a thin essence that flows easily. Unlike many functional products that feel heavy, this one feels incredibly light. What I love most is how well it absorbs. Even with two pumps, my skin feels soft on the outside while maintaining deep hydration without any tightness or dryness. It seems to play well with my existing skincare routine as I haven't experienced any blemishes. Though I've only used it for a few days and can't speak to wrinkle reduction, my skin does feel a bit firmer. Overall, I'm really impressed and would love to try other Caudalie products now!
ConsWhile I like pretty much everything about it, if I had to pick one thing, it would be the scent. It has a slightly old-fashioned 'mom's cosmetics' smell, but since I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, it doesn't bother me much.
TipGiven that the texture is quite light and possibly lacking in oil content, you might want to follow up with a cream or emulsion. It seems like a great product for this time of year.

I currently have cheilitis, but there was no irritation around my mouth. No eye stinging either. It seems to be a gentle product. I'm not sure about the wrinkle improvement yet, but it felt mild and suitable for sensitive skin.
ConsIt has a slight scent reminiscent of older women's cosmetics. For oily skin, this product alone wasn't enough - I needed to add a moisturizer as it felt a bit dry.
TipIt has a twist-open top without a separate cap. Make sure to close it after use. Finish your routine by applying this after your serum, followed by a hydrating moisturizer.

It's great to use before applying makeup. I found it perfect for a quick morning routine. The pump dispenser made it convenient to use.
ConsThe scent is too reminiscent of old-fashioned emulsions. While the volume is generous, it's quite expensive...

Rather than finishing sticky, it leaves a fresh feeling on the skin. I dislike heavy, runny textures, but I really enjoyed how lightweight the Caudalie Resveratrol serum is. Anti-aging: To be honest, it's difficult to see significant results after just a few weeks of use. Functional products generally require consistent application to gradually show effects. I was looking for a lightweight anti-aging product, and the Caudalie Resveratrol serum fit the bill perfectly! Sensitivity: Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any allergic reactions, which is impressive given its potent ingredients.
ConsScent: The fragrance might be polarizing - it's a matter of personal preference. For me, it was closer to dislike. I wish it were fragrance-free. It has a cosmetic scent that I've never encountered before... Moisturizing: If I had to choose, I'd say it's more hydrating than moisturizing. You definitely need to apply an additional moisturizing product! Even with my oily skin, I felt a slight tightness when using this alone. I'd recommend finishing with a hydrating cream. Price: Honestly, 86,000 won seems like a hefty price tag that's hard to justify...
TipOverall: If price isn't a concern and you're looking for a mild, lightweight anti-aging product, I'd recommend this.
