This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for mature skin; other serums fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate brightening and evening of skin tone for your normal skin due to patented Viniferine Vine Sap, which visibly reduces dark spots, while glycerin and squalane support hydration and barrier function.
- While it provides general skincare benefits and is highly suitable for normal skin, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

Patented Viniferine Vine Sap, Squalane, Palmitoyl Grapevine Shoot Extract, Bisabolol, Glycerin

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- A combination of Vitis vinifera shoot extract and a biotechnological extract demonstrated significant in vitro and in vivo antioxidant effects and improved clinical signs of photoaged skin in female subjects after a 4-week application. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17691204/))
- Pre-treatment with Vitis vinifera L. water extract (100 ΓΙg/mL) demonstrated antioxidant and scavenger activity against UV-A radiation and exerted an anti-mutagenic effect by maintaining apoptosis in UV-A and UV-B irradiated human keratinocytes (HaCaT). ([Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. B, Biology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32028189/))
- A water extract from grapevine leaves inhibited proinflammatory-induced interleukin-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor secretion in human keratinocytes compared to untreated challenged cells. ([Antioxidants, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31100904/))
- Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40363772/))
- Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40722956/))
- Application of an alpha-bisabolol-containing cream produced a significant skin-lightening effect in pigmented skin compared to a vehicle control in the majority of female subjects after 8 weeks. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20642768/))
- The combination of allantoin, bisabolol, D-panthenol and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate reduces UVB-induced PGE2, inflammatory cytokines, and mitochondrial superoxide in human epidermal keratinocytes. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38433250/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## Why other serums fit mature skin better

- Caviar oil enhanced adipocyte differentiation in vitro, reduced MMP expression while increasing collagen and elastin formation ex vivo, and improved skin moisture, elasticity, and density in 102 participants over four weeks of Cavi Balm usage compared to baseline. ([In Vivo, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37652485/))
- Chronomodulated daytime application of baicalin and nighttime application of palmitoyl tripeptide-1 synergistically improved skin luminance by 16.29%, nasolabial fold depth by -36.35%, and firmness by 24.35% in 30 female participants. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41527525/))
- A topical serum containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and raspberry leaf cell culture extract improved skin color, elasticity, radiance, smoothness, scaliness, and wrinkles compared to the untreated contralateral side in fifty female volunteers. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31975502/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum work for mature skin?

This serum works moderately well for mature skin because it helps brighten skin tone and supports hydration, but a treatment of this type needs specialized ingredients to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.

### Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for mature skin?

Glycerin and squalane make this serum a good fit for mature skin by supporting hydration and barrier function. Treatments that fit mature skin better also need ingredients that target wrinkles, fine lines, and elasticity.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Viniferine do for mature skin?

Viniferine helps mature skin by targeting signs of aging and reducing damage caused by environmental stressors. It supports collagen expression and helps keep the skin smooth and firm.
Sources: [Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35696226/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35615726/)

### What does Squalane do for mature skin?

Squalane helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by boosting moisture and protecting the skin barrier. It also provides antioxidant support that helps improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40001122/), [Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21137794/)

### Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This serum goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though some serums may also be used in the morning or twice a day. Mature skin needs products with specialized ingredients to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.

### Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first and following it with your retinol. This product is unlikely to cause irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients, but mature skin targeting wrinkles and fine lines needs dedicated firming ingredients like peptides and retinoids alongside hydrating ones.

### How often should I use this serum?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. While it offers general benefits, mature skin needs products with specialized firming and anti-aging ingredients to properly target wrinkles and fine lines.

### Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This serum is unlikely to cause breakouts on mature skin since it has a safe formula without harsh ingredients, though a few reviewers have occasionally reported breakouts. To help keep mature skin clear and smooth while targeting dark spots, a product of this type needs non-clogging hydrators and gentle brightening ingredients.

### Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
