The ingredient narratives reshaping clean beauty.
Resveratrol
aka trans-resveratrol · polygonum cuspidatum extract
The red-wine polyphenol that Caudalie built its prestige brand on (Vinopure, Resveratrol Lift). A potent antioxidant with sirtuin-1 activation and anti-inflammatory data; 2024–2025's 'longevity skincare' framing rescued resveratrol from oversold-supplement fatigue and re-positioned it as a topical cellular-aging signal molecule. Pairs natively with niacinamide and vitamin C.
- antioxidant and SIRT1-activator (longevity-pathway signaling)
- anti-inflammatory and photoprotection-supporting
- pairs with vitamin C and ferulic acid for AOX synergy
- Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift
- longevity-positioned night serums
- AOX complexes
Effective at 0.5–1% in serums; trans-resveratrol is the active form. Light- and oxygen-sensitive — opaque packaging required. pH 5–6. Caudalie's airless pumps are a category-defining choice.
Cis-resveratrol (the inactive isomer) and degraded products are common formulation failures — supplier and packaging matter enormously.
Strongly trusted, clean-prestige aligned.
