Viniferine works through a triple action against dark spots:
1. Origin: Regulates the number of enzymes responsible for melanin production. It reduces the expression of the tyrosinase enzyme by 80%(4).
2. Production: Viniferine reduces the excessive production of melanin by 63%(4).
3. Viniferine limits the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface within the keratinocytes by -47%(4).
The combination of these three actions results in a reduction in dark spots.

(2)Clinical study, dermatological scoring, on 33 volunteers after 56 days.
(3)Clinical study, % of satisfaction, 65 volunteers, 56 days.
(4)In-vitro test.
*Excluding multi-material pump dispensers and caps, which can only be recycled through Caudalie Boutiques thanks to the TerraCycle partnership.
We recommend applying the dark spot serum twice a day for greater efficacy.
In the morning:
1. Apply a few drops of the Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum to the face, neck and décolleté, on clean, slightly damp skin.
2. Then apply the Dark Spot Niacinamide Moisturizer.
3. In case of sun exposure, follow with the Very High Protection Lightweight Cream SPF50+ to protect the skin from UV, blue light and infrared.
In the evening:
1. Double cleansing: cleanse your face with our Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil with Sweet Almond + Castor Oil on dry skin to remove all impurities.
2. Rinse and dry your skin, then use our daily peeling treatment: our Brightening Micropeel Foam with Mandelic Acid (AHA). It deeply cleanses your skin and removes dead cells. Rinse with water.
3. Apply the Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum to the face, neck and décolleté. One pipette of product is enough for the whole face.
4. Apply the Dark Spot Correcting Glycolic Night Cream, which hydrates, corrects dark spots and smooths the skin's texture while you sleep.
Add the Concentrated Brightening Glycolic Essence to your routine. Apply it to clean, dry skin, before the serum, to boost the skin's radiance twice as much*.
For more advice, book an appointment with our Vinotherapists in store or in pharmacy.
*Instrumental test, 33 volunteers, 56 days, compared to the serum alone.
1. How soon can you see the first results on dark spots?
The first results appear from 7 days for some dark spots. For more established dark spots, the effects are visible by the end of the bottle, after 56 days at a rate of 2 applications per day. The clinical study shows -63% dark spot colouration after one bottle(1), and -81% on deeper skin tones(2).
(1) Clinical study, dermatological scoring, 65 volunteers, 56 days.
(2) Clinical study, dermatological scoring, 33 volunteers, 56 days.
2. Is the dark spot serum suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, the Vinoperfect dark spot serum is suitable for pregnant women. Its formula has been assessed by a toxicologist, which guarantees its safe use during pregnancy. More broadly, the Vinoperfect range is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin and compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding.
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 Correcting Glycolic Night Cream. One pipette, or a few drops, is enough to cover the entire face, neck and optionally the décolleté.
We recommend wearing sun protection all day, even in grey weather, reapplying it every 2 hours in case of prolonged sun exposure.
5. Can it be used on darker skin tones?
Yes, the Vinoperfect dark spot serum is suitable for all skin phototypes, and it is all the more effective on phototypes V and VI, i.e. deeper skin tones. Our clinical study shows that 81% of dark spots are reduced after 56 days of use, at a rate of one 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 30ml and 50ml dark spot serum is 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 50ml 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*. It is non-photosensitising and non-irritating. Suitable for all skin tones, including sensitive skin.
*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 caused by inflammation — they respond well to dark spot treatments like the Vinoperfect Serum. Acne scars are deeper, colourless marks caused by poor skin regeneration. Dark spot treatments cannot treat them. To reduce them, opt for treatments with salicylic acid (Vinopure range) or consult a dermatologist.

About the product: Dark Spot Brightening Serum Vitamin C Alternative - Jumbo
45 plus approved.
I have been using this serum for a few months and I love it. It is soothing, hydrating, fragrance free, causes no irritation and I notice my skin tone is more even and brighter. I prefer buying the jumbo size and purchasing it directly from Caudalie. Caudalie has a loyalty system as well that is really good.
