a pleasant surpriseOctober 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After many years of purchasing skin care products that make claims to fade hyperpigmentation and have them do nothing- or as a result of use, make my melasma WORSE- I was skeptical about buying this product. I read the reviews, researched the ingredients, and thought I would give it a try. To my surprise and delight, my melasma began fading after ONE application. [!!!] The more nights that passed using this product, the more I saw a reduction in my sun damage. I am using Retin-A as well, which is an aggressive skin exfoliator, and this serum puts moisture back in my skin and augments the fading effects of the Retin-A. I cannot report how this product works completely on its own: however, when I am giving my skin a 'break' from Retin-A, the Radiance Serum continues to fade my brown areas and even out my skin tone. So it actually does what it claims to do! It has a light, fluid texture, and smells divine. One drop is sufficient to treat the entire face and neck, which takes the 'sting' out of its price point. Apply product to freshly washed, damp skin; distribute the drop between your palms; press into your face. I follow with my moisturizer half an hour after using the Serum if I am extra-dry. The Serum absorbs beautifully into the skin, and does not cause my oily skin to feel greasy or disturb my makeup. The skin tone of my entire face has become more even and fresher-looking. I was honestly taken totally off guard by how effective this product is. I will gladly purchase it again. [And don't forget- full spectrum sunscreen, every day! If you have fair skin like I do, re-apply your sunblocking agent in the middle of the day, as sunscreen loses its potency after a few hours.] And I would never use a product containing hydroquinone- this Serum does not contain this ingredient- as after using a hydroquinone product on my sun damage, my skin darkened where I had applied the hydroquinone product to a coffee brown. Avoid hydroquinone- it made my sun damage MUCH worse! Hydroquinone damage is what caused my doctor to suggest Retin-A; I think if I had used this Caudalie product initially instead, I would have enjoyed its gentle fading effects without the damaging darkening that hydroquinone is known to cause. I also saw no results from products containing kojic and azulaic acids. I spent a few hundred dollars over the years searching for a product that works as well as this one does. This Radiance Serum definitely makes good on its claims. I was so happy I gave this product a try- I was a skeptic, and it worked very well!
The only Skin Care Miracle I have ever experiencedSeptember 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My skin is olive toned and I scar easily because of the occasional pimple and it takes forever to disappear. I have used products that have made a difference, but by the time the scars begin to fade, I have a few more to add to them. I never thought I'd be rid of those flat, brown, freckle like remnants of pimples. EVER!
I admit I scoffed at this product. The entire grape stem extract and winery credentials seemed pretentious to me but the product was light and smelled delightful. I used it with the day and night creams that were also a delight to apply. I didn't think I was going to experience anything beyond mild improvement.
Within 2 weeks, you could only see the scars if you were three inches from my mirror. Within four weeks, you couldn't see even a single one. I didn't get any additional pimples and my face felt velvety soft and radiant. I was quite humbled by this. Now, I have heard and read about people swearing that a product made an "astonishing" difference to their skin, or touting something as a skincare "miracle" and it all seemed like hype to me. Until now.
For me, this was one of those "miracle" serums that truly transformed my skin.
Works fast. No bad effectsOctober 1, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I always wondered if the other products were working. I know this one is because it works so fast. I notice when I do not use it too. It is expensive, but it works. It does not burn my skin either. Just put it where there is a discoleration and rub it in. It works wonders. It is worth the price because the other stuff from clinique and philosophy did nothing. I have sensitive skin and was affraid to try the hydroquinone because so many bad reactions happen from it. Many other products have it even the good brands. This stuff is great.
Helpful, but expensiveJune 17, 2006 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have acne for a long time, but I also got a really dark melasma on my face that showed up unexpectedly after sunbathing this year. I started to use this product 3 weeks ago, and I must admit my melasma almost is gone. But, of course, I avoided any sun exposure. I first clean up my skin with a Vitamin C balancing facial toner (this is from another company), then I apply Caudalie and let it dry. After 20 min. I apply my tea-tree oil cream and then Aknecolor, which is a great European cover cream that actually treats acne. I used all those productes before when I didn`t know about Caudalie yet, so I can compare how it was before and after and I really can see my skin now is much clearer and even-toned, and I have the feeling that it treats acne a little bit, as well. The only thing I don`t like is the price (I used 1 bottle in 3 weeks) but from the other side, when I remember how desperate I was because of that melasma, I am willing to rebuy Caudalie one more time, as prevention, but I`m afraid I can`t afford buying it on a regular basis so I plan to try later another product later with acid kojic and acid azelaic...that would be cheaper. Maybe I`ll write another review then :)
FOR A NATURALLY RADIANT COMPLEXIONApril 18, 2005 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Few things announce "old" more clearly than those dreaded brown spots on hands, arms and, perhaps worst of all, on your face. While there are a plethora of products that promise to "erase" those telltale signs, many of them tend to remove pigment from the skin, leaving white areas. Other products come with warnings to keep away from the eyes or not to use on sensitive skin.
Caudalie's Radiance Serum evens out pigmentation and, as it is free of preservatives and colouring agents, it may be safely used around the eye area and on sensitive skin.I was amazed at how quickly there was a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin, from the reduction of the intensity of brown spots to a more radiant complexion. There is absolutely no sign of "bleaching" the skin but rather a uniformity of skin tone.
Using the Serum is as easy as one-two-three. Simply apply a dropper-full each morning and evening to the troublesome areas then gently massage until the Serum is completely absorbed. This only takes a few seconds, then follow with moisturizer of choice.
If you're going to be in the sun, do remember to use a sun screen (especially on hands).
