Claudalie worth it?

[haps9]

Hii! Does anyone use the Claudalie radiance serum? Is it worth the price? Not sure if there are other alternatives that might be cheaper?

@haps9 Ive been through many bottles of the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Serum Vitamin C Alternative 1 oz/ 30 mL and LOVE it. I typically would pick it up around the holiday season in a value set to help justify the price. 

a few things to note though: I started using it when my skin had been through a lot. I had severe cystic acne, dermatitis and eczema for a period lasting almost a year. No derm was able to determine the cause, and it seemed to happen overnight. I was using a number of prescriptions to treat, both oral and topical. Once those issues resolved, my skin was a mess. Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, sensitivity and extreme dryness. For that reason, I splurged on the Caudalie. There were no acids or harsh actives that would irritate my skin. I noticed an amazing improvement with a few months of once daily use. My skin is now in a much healthier state and can handle actives

that being said - if your skin can tolerate actives, you may not need to splurge! I still have the Vinoperfect in my rotation, but I also have fallen in love with Keys Soulcare Let Me Glow Illuminating Serum with Niacinamide 1.01 oz/ 30 mL , First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads with Glycolic + Lactic Acids – Exfoliating Pads with AHA 60 Pads / pack  , IT Cosmetics Your Bye Bye Serums Duo (Bye Bye Dark Spots) or The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum  for a budget friendly option ☺️
