1. What are the active ingredients in the Instant Firming Serum and how do they work?

The Instant Firming Serum, backed by science, is formulated with Caudalie's exclusive patent (Caudalie x Harvard patent no. 1555116), combining vine resveratrol, which is derived from grapevine shoots and produced in France, and two types of hyaluronic acids. This patented technology helps support collagen and elastin and activate sirtuins, proteins associated with skin longevity. The expert formula is further enriched with Pro-Collagen Grape Multi-Peptides, a complex of 500 peptides derived from grapeseed. As the most concentrated formula in the Resveratrol-Lift collection, the Instant Firming Serum delivers the range's highest concentration of active ingredients.

2. Is it true that the Instant Firming Serum is 3 times more firming than retinol?

Yes. Vine resveratrol, at the heart of the Instant Firming Serum, is the retinol alternative developed by Caudalie. Combined with Pro-Collagen Grape Multi-Peptides, it targets 20 types of collagen in our skin that are essential to skin density and structural integrity, without the side effects of retinol. Our serum offers 3 times more firming action than retinol*, while being non-irritating. Unlike retinol, Resveratrol-Lift Serum can be used with sun exposure with appropriate sun protection applied, and is suitable for sensitive skin. *Ex vivo test on ingredients: stimulation of type I collagen production, a marker involved in skin firmness.

3. How long does it take to see results from the Instant Firming Serum?

Visible results on skin firmness and facial contours can be seen after the first application of Instant Firming Serum. After 28 days of morning and evening use, 100% of volunteers reported visibly firmer, younger-looking, and plumper skin after using one bottle.* *Clinical study, % satisfaction, 30 volunteers, 28 days.

4. Is Instant Firming Serum suitable for use during pregnancy and breast-feeding?

Yes. Instant Firming Serum is suitable for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Its key anti-aging ingredient, vine resveratrol, is a retinol alternative without the retinol-related restrictions. However, we recommend consulting your doctor for personalized advice.

5. Can the Instant Firming Serum be applied in the morning before sun exposure?

Yes, the Instant Firming Serum can be used morning and evening and does not make the skin photosensitive. Its anti-aging active ingredient, vine resveratrol, does not have the side effects of retinol. Its formula is tested under dermatological supervision and is suitable for sensitive skin. As with any anti-aging routine, apply sun protection in the morning as the final step in your skincare routine.

6. Where does the Instant Firming Serum fit into my routine?

Apply the Instant Firming Serum morning and evening to clean skin on the face, neck and décolleté, before your cream. It is the first skincare step after cleansing and before applying a moisturizer. In the morning, finish your routine with sun protection.

7. Can the Instant Firming Serum be combined with vitamin C or other active ingredients?

Yes, Instant Firming Serum can be used with vitamin C and other skincare actives. Apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer. In the morning, follow with sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine.

8. What is the difference between the Instant Firming Serum and the Firming Cashmere Cream?

The Instant Firming Serum is the most active ingredient-concentrated product in the Resveratrol-Lift collection. Its fluid texture targets skin firmness and facial contours, and is applied before the cream. The Firming Cashmere Cream is a nourishing day cream that deeply hydrates the skin, while locking in serum's firming benefits. These two products complement each other within the Resveratrol-Lift collection.

9. Is the Instant Firming Serum suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Yes, the Instant Firming Serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its formula is tested under dermatological supervision and is non-comedogenic. Its anti-aging active ingredient, vine resveratrol, is an alternative to retinol without its side effects.

10. Is the Instant Firming Serum vegan and clean?

Yes. The Instant Firming Serum, like all Caudalie skincare products, is vegan and formulated according to the brand's clean approach with more than 70 ingredients excluded from the formula (including silicones, PEGs and phenoxyethanol) and more than 95% natural-origin ingredients.
