Why Caudalie's New Skin Perfecting Serum is Great for Battling Maskne

The last days of summer are upon us and as mask mandates increase again, we need to know how to best prep our skin to avoid the inevitable maskne. A good skincare routine means paying close attention to properly hydrating skin, cleansing, and even exfoliating. With the new addition to Caudalie’s Vinopure Collection, the Vinopure Skin Perfecting Serum, adds a layer of protection against blackheads, clogged pores, and excess oil while still hydrating skin.

This serum formulation contains the good stuff such as 100% natural salicylic acid derived from wintergreen leaf extract which is designed to gently slough off dead skin cells and improve your skin’s texture. Polyphenols act as an antioxidant barrier to help prevent blackheads as well as the pore diminisher - Niacinamide. Also included are 6 organic essential oils that contain anti-bacterial properties that help purify the skin.

The complete Vinopure collection includes a Purifying Gel Cleanser ($28), Purifying Toner ($28), the new Skin Perfecting Serum ($49), and the Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid ($35). With daily use of these 4 products, a clinical study reported a 63% reduction in the appearance of blemishes over the course of 7 days. And this brand is doing its eco-friendly part by offering up 100% recyclable packaging with silicone-free and fragrance-free formulas.

As a bonus tip who might have combo skin, we like to spritz clean skin with a bit of Grape Water ($18) which is made up of 100% organic grapes harvested in France. This also helps lock in all the goodness of the serum into the skin, when applied immediately after spraying the face. When you need an extra exfoliating boost, we recommend a weekly treatment of the Vinoclean Deep Cleansing Exfoliator ($35). With exfoliating plant microbeads, this cleanser purifies and refines skin while still leaving skin feeling moisturized with hints of grapefruit, mint, and sweet orange to inhale during your treatment.

The Vinopure Skin Perfecting Serum and the entire Vinopure collection are currently available online.
