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 Vinoperfect Dark Spot Niacinamide Moisturizer.3. In case of sun exposure, follow with the Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 Lotion to protect the skin from UV, blue light and infrared. In the evening: 1. Begin with a double cleanse using Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil on dry skin to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. Rinse and dry your skin.2. Then cleanse with Vinoperfect Brightening Micropeel Foam, formulated with mandelic acid (AHA), to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. Rinse thoroughly.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 Vinoperfect Dark Spot Brightening Glycolic Night Cream, which hydrates, brightens dark spots and smooths the skin's texture while you sleep.

Advice from our Vinotherapists:
Add the Vinoperfect Concentrated Brightening Glycolic Essence to your routine.

What is it?

A brightening serum that visibly reduces the appearance of dark spots caused by sun exposure, aging, acne, pregnancy and blue light. The non-irritating vitamin C alternative works to visibly brighten and even skin tone on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How to apply formaximum benefits

Apply one full pipette of serum onto freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin. Spread evenly across your face, neck and décolletage. Use it both morning and night — the non‑photosensitizing formula requires no sun‑related restrictions. Always layer before moisturizer and sunscreen. For optimal clinical results, maintain consistent twice‑daily use across the full 56‑day treatment cycle. Morning application must be followed by broad‑spectrum SPF50 sunscreen, as UV rays can create new dark spots and compromise brightening performance. Do not over‑apply, excess product may lead to pilling when layering subsequent skincare or makeup.

    Customer Reviews

    • Slow results but my skin looks healthier overall

      It takes time to work and doesn’t make all spots disappear (I don’t use any makeup/just moisturizer) but when l use this product as directed twice a day, my age and other spots become very light in color and many have indeed completely disappeared. It’s lightweight and the most effective I’ve ever used.

    • Soft brightening

      The texture is really nice—super light, sinks in fast, and doesn’t mess with the rest of my routine. I’ve been using it under moisturizer and sunscreen with no issues. What I like is that it feels very gentle. I’ve had bad reactions to stronger brightening products before, and this didn’t irritate my skin at all. No redness, no dryness.

      Ashley Ross

    • Beautiful fragrance, light and clean

      I'm 67 with evidence of sun exposure. I think it helps with lessening that. But the thing I like best is the fragrance and the lightness of it. It dries quickly, not oily, not sticky, and it has a subtle floral scent that is such a nice thing to smell on my hands. It's a luxury item and I'm afraid I'm hooked.

      FAQs

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      What key soothing & moisturizing ingredients are included? Is the formula clean?

      Formulated with olive squalane for lightweight moisturization and barrier comfort, plus bisabolol to calm skin. 98% of ingredients are of natural origin. Vegan‑friendly. Free of parabens, mineral oil, PEGs, silicones, phthalates.
