Whether it’s the lingering effects of “maskne,” a shift in hormones, or the simple stress of a fast-paced Singaporean lifestyle, many of us have felt “vexed” by adult acne. It’s an almost inevitable hurdle, but as we always say at Couture Troopers, every challenge is just an opportunity for a more sophisticated solution.
Enter the reimagined Vinopure collection by Caudalie. This isn’t just a redesign; it’s a total elevation of the brand’s cult-favorite expertise, proving that “natural” and “effective” can indeed walk hand-in-hand down the beauty runway.
The Science of the “Sultry Glow”
Caudalie has taken their formulation to a new level by combining the power of BHA (Natural Salicylic Acid) with the gentleness of PHA (Gluconolactone). While many of us have been intimidated by harsh AHAs in the past, this innovative synergy is a blessing for sensitive skin. Even better? This creative force for good comes wrapped in eco-luxury packaging—crafted from recyclable glass and plastic—ensuring your beauty routine looks as good on the planet as it does on your vanity.
- The Hero: The Blemish Control Salicylic Serum (SGD 65) targets blackheads and pores from the very first use.
- The New Essential: The Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid (SGD 45). This newcomer is a dream for the “every woman” on the go, offering hydration without the shine—93% of testers saw a reduction in spots and blackheads.
