Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin, as glycerin provides humectant action, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients like squalane to fully address potential dryness.
- The serum provides general skincare benefits, such as hydration and soothing from ingredients like Bisabolol, which are supportive but not targeted for your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is generally safe for your normal skin, with some risks of irritation due to the presence of Citric Acid.
How to apply
- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.

Questions and answers
How well does Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum work for mature skin?
This serum works moderately well for mature skin because glycerin adds moisture, but it lacks enough rich softeners to fully prevent dryness and target wrinkles. Mature skin needs products with powerful anti-aging ingredients, strong moisturizers, and skin-repairing components to smooth lines and keep the skin soft and firm.
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin helps keep mature skin hydrated, while squalane provides basic softening benefits. However, a treatment for this skin needs high-quality anti-aging ingredients, strong antioxidants, and richer softening agents to effectively smooth fine lines and maintain elasticity.
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.
Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2022
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. It is an average fit for mature skin because while it provides hydration, it needs richer softening ingredients and targeted wrinkle-fighting actives to fully address aging.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this serum in your evening routine before your moisturizer, keeping a gap if you also use retinol since this formula contains citric acid which may raise irritation risks. To better suit mature skin, a product of this type needs richer softening ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines.
How often should I use this serum?
You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. A product of this type for mature skin needs richer softening ingredients and targeted active ingredients to effectively address wrinkles and fine lines.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, though it may cause some irritation due to citric acid. To better care for mature skin, a product of this type needs richer softening ingredients like squalane to help smooth wrinkles and fine lines.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
