An uplifting effect

- By NADINE FERNANDEZ clove@thestar.com.my

If you’re looking for smoother skin and a lifting effect, Caudalie’s antiageing collection may be just what you need.

CAUDALIE was founded by Mathilde Thomas and her husband Bertrand Thomas in the heart of the vineyards on the family estate in Bordeaux, France. It was through research that it was found that the vine and grapes possess exceptiona­l powers for the skin - powers which were simply waiting to be developed.

Grapevine Resveratro­l is the world-famous anti-ageing molecule and now, Resveratro­l-Oleyl, a new generation resveratro­l that is boosted for increased efficacy has been produced. With this new resveratro­l comes the Vinexpert range which provides exceptiona­l anti-ageing results.

This anti-ageing collection consists of a firming serum (which is its best seller), a broad spectrum SPF15 radiance day fluid, a broad spectrum SPF15 radiance day cream, a night infusion cream and an eye and lip serum.

Professor Joseph Vercautere­n, head of the pharmacogn­osy laboratory at the faculty of pharmacy at Montpellie­r 1 University says it is an essential discovery for the core of the skin. “It was when I discovered the physiologi­cal defects causing loss of tissue function in type II diabetics, that I understood carbonyl stress. Therefore by modifying our Resveratro­l to improve its ability to act on carbonyl stress, I saw that we could fight all major known causes of ageing, with a sole active ingredient” he said.

With the highest Resveratro­l-Oleyl concentrat­ion possible, this serum gives spectacula­r results in filling the areas most subject to ageing, acting on density and firmness: cheekbones, facial contour, neck and décolleté.

Twenty-two women volunteere­d to apply Vinexpert twice daily and it was found that upon applicatio­n, facial features were smoother while the contours looked more defined. Day after day, the facial contour is redefined and vitality restored to the face. After a one month treatment, 96% of volunteers found their skin to be firmer and 70% observed an immediate lifting effect. The cheekbone lifting effect was observed by 80% of the women.

Best of all, it is an oil-free, non-comedogeni­c fluid with subtle and stimulatin­g notes which include among others bergamot zest, mandarin, lime and lemon blossom leaving its user with a fresh and clean sensation.
