For more advice, book an appointment with our Vinotherapists at a Caudalie SPA boutique near you.
*Instrumental test, 33 volunteers, 56 days, compared to the serum alone.
1. How soon can you see the results on dark spots?
The first results appear after 7 days for some dark spots. For more established dark spots, the results are visible by the end of the bottle, after 56 days with application two times a day. The clinical study shows a 63% reduction in dark spot coloration after one bottle*, and an 81% reduction on deeper skin tones**.
*Clinical study, dermatological scoring, 65 volunteers, 56 days.
**Clinical study, dermatological scoring, 33 volunteers, 56 days.2. Is the dark spot serum suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, the Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum is suitable for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Its formula has been assessed by a toxicologist, which guarantees its safe use during pregnancy. More broadly, the Vinoperfect collection is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin and is suitable during pregnancy and whenbreastfeeding.3. Does applying a dark spot treatment prevent the skin from tanning?
No. Dark spot treatments regulate the overproduction of melanin responsible for the appearance and intensification of spots on the skin, and therefore ensure an even, long-lasting tan.4. How do you incorporate the dark spot serum into your daily skincare routine?
The serum is applied to clean skin in the morning before the Dark Spot Niacinamide Moisturizer, and in the evening before the Dark Spot Brightening Glycolic Night Cream. One pipette, or a few drops, of the serum is enough to cover the entire face, neck and optionally the décolleté.
We recommend wearing sun protection every day, even in overcast weather, and reapplying it every 2 hours especially during prolonged sun exposure.5. Can it be used on deep skin tones?
Yes, the Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum is suitable for all skin phototypes, and it is even more effective on deeper skin tones, phototypes 5 and 6. On these skin photoypes, our clinical study shows that dark spots are reduced by 81% after 56 days of use, with twice daily application, morning and evening*.
*Clinical study, dermatological scoring, 33 volunteers, 56 days.6. What is the difference between the 30ml and the 50ml serum?
The only difference between the 30 mL and 50 mL dark spot serum is in the size of the bottle. The formula and its benefits remain the same. If you use the Vinoperfect Serum regularly, we recommend opting for the 50 mL format, which is ultimately more eco-friendly and economical.7. Is the dark spot serum effective on old dark spots?
Yes, the serum can help reduce the appearance of old dark spots, although these generally require more time to fade. Regular and prolonged use is essential to achieve visible results.8. What is the difference between Viniferine and Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is effective against dark spots, but it can be unstable and irritating. Caudalie's patented Viniferine is 62 times more powerful than vitamin C,* and is non-photosensitizing and non-irritating. It is safe for all skin tones and all skin types, even the most sensitive.
*In-vitro test of the inhibitory action of Viniferine on tyrosinase.9. What is the difference between acne spots and acne scars?
Acne spots are superficial hyperpigmentations left behind after a blemish heals - they respond well to dark spot treatments like the Vinoperfect Serum. Acne scars are changes in the skin's texture caused by damage to the deeper layers of the skin during the healing process. Dark spot treatments cannot treat them. For textured acne scars, opt for treatments with salicylic acid (Vinopure collection) or consult a dermatologist.

The Caudalie team
Bonjour Deanne, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that the serum did not meet your expectations and caused irritation. This serum is formulated with Viniferine, one of our most powerful brightening actives, and many customers love it for visibly fading dark spots and evening out skin tone over time, so we're disappointed it didn't agree with your skin the way we'd hoped. Our team will be getting in touch with you directly to get a better understanding of your experience. You can look forward to receiving an e-mail from us. Regards, Caudalie Customer Care
