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.

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.

Haha 🫠
ConsAs many have mentioned, the fragrance is the issue... Oh, I wonder why they chose to use a scent with this kind of feel 🥲 I don't like sandalwood fragrances, and the hand cream I recently bought has a strong sandalwood scent. And this lifting serum has the exact same fragrance... Déjà vu, I guess ㅠㅜ Encountering that scent again here... It's a heavy, masculine skin care-like smell. If they could just improve the fragrance a bit, it would be even better! The artificial fragrance might even be preferable... Luckily, the scent doesn't linger on the face for too long, but on days when I'm not feeling well or my nose is sensitive, I might be hesitant to use it because of the fragrance ㅠㅡㅠ
TipIf you have oily or sensitive skin, or if there are certain ingredients that don't agree with you like me, I'd recommend gently patting a small amount of the lifting serum onto the areas you want to target. 💜

While this is my first time using a Caudalie product, aside from briefly trying their Elixir, the brand is known for its cleanliness and clarity, so I had high expectations for the Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum. Some aspects exceeded my expectations, while others fell short. My cheeks are often quite dry, while my forehead is slightly less so. I tend to use different products for these different areas, and I'm especially attentive to this during seasonal changes. For my skin type, this serum worked beautifully on my forehead, feeling like a perfect fit 🤝💙 I had been dealing with excess oil and breakouts due to fluctuating body conditions and weather changes, but switching just my serum to this one has helped clarify my forehead and improve its hydration, whether from the firming ingredients or just better moisture retention. For my cheeks, I can use it every other day, but relying solely on this serum daily leaves them feeling a bit dry. So in conclusion, I think this would be an excellent match for combination-oily skin, but may fall short for drier complexions. I don't believe in expecting miracles from skincare 😆 This serum is satisfying given my expectations, but the inclusion of multiple fragrances and their strong, lingering scent is a bit disappointing for me 🥲
ConsThe presence of synthetic fragrances and the strong, persistent scent. For dry skin, the hydration level may be slightly lacking.
TipFor combination-oily skin, this serum could provide a satisfying balance of oil and moisture, along with a firming effect!

The texture was a light, runny essence, which is unusual for a functional product, as they're often thicker and heavier. But this one felt very lightweight. What I liked the most was the absorption - even after applying two pumps, my skin didn't feel greasy or tight, but stayed hydrated. It also seemed to work well with the other products I'm using, without causing any breakouts. While I haven't used it long enough to see improvements in fine lines, my skin does feel a bit more plump and energized. Overall, I'm really pleased with it, and I'd like to try other Caudalie products as well.
ConsThe only thing that I could potentially nitpick about is the fragrance - it has a slightly old-fashioned, 'mom's makeup' kind of smell. But I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, so it doesn't bother me too much.
TipSince this seems to be a relatively lightweight and non-oily product, I think it would be best to follow up with a cream or lotion to provide a bit more nourishment. It seems like a great product to use during this time of year.

It applies thinly and evenly. I have lip inflammation, but there was no irritation around the lip area. There was no eye irritation either. It seems to be a gentle product. I'm not sure about the wrinkle improvement yet, but it was a mild and comfortable experience to use.
ConsThe product has a slight scent of my mother's cosmetics. For oily skin, this product alone was not enough, and I needed to use a cream as well.
TipThe lid-less top can be twisted to open and close. After use, I close it. I finish with a moisturizing cream after the serum.

It's good to use before makeup. It was easy to use in the morning. The pump made it convenient to use.
ConsThe smell is too much like my mom's lotion. The volume is a lot, but it's expensive..

It finishes more refreshingly than sticky. I don't like sticky or heavy textures like a runny nose, but the Caudalie Resveratrol Serum was easy to use and I liked that. Anti-Aging: It's difficult to say that you can see enough effects just by using it for a few weeks. Functional products seem to show effects gradually the more consistently you use them. I was looking for a lightweight anti-aging product, and the Caudalie Resveratrol was that product for me! Irritation: Even though I have sensitive skin, I didn't experience any allergic reactions to the ingredients.
ConsScent: The scent may be divisive for each individual. I was close to disliking it. I wish it was fragrance-free... It's a cosmetic scent, but one I've never smelled before. Moisturizing Power: To be picky, moisture > oil content. You'll definitely need to apply a moisturizing product on top. Even for me with oily skin, there was a slightly tight feeling. Finishing with a moisturizing cream would be a good idea. Price: 86,000 won is honestly a burdensome price to pay at once...
TipOverall: If you're looking for a simple, lightweight anti-aging product regardless of price, I'd recommend this.
