General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
brightener
Viniferine is Caudalie's patented brightening molecule, extracted from the sap of grape vines (Vitis vinifera) — distinct from grape seed antioxidants used elsewhere in the brand's catalog. Caudalie's research claims Viniferine is 62 times more effective than vitamin C at inhibiting tyrosinase in vitro. The ingredient is exclusive to Caudalie and anchors the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, the brand's bestselling product globally.
antioxidant
Vitamin C is one of the most thoroughly researched antioxidants in dermatology. It neutralizes free radicals, inhibits melanin production, and supports collagen synthesis. The challenge is formulation stability — L-ascorbic acid oxidizes easily, and many products degrade before you finish the bottle.
