Quick Summary

Viniferine is Caudalie’s proprietary brightening-positioned grapevine-shoot ingredient. In the Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Serum INCI, the related ingredient name is palmitoyl grapevine shoot extract. This page treats it as a product-specific cosmetic ingredient for uneven-tone, dark-spot appearance, and radiance-positioned routines, not as a medical pigmentation treatment.

What It Is

Viniferine is a Caudalie-branded ingredient story connected to grapevine shoot extract. The official product page lists Viniferine as the key ingredient and lists palmitoyl grapevine shoot extract in the full INCI. Because the ingredient is closely tied to Caudalie’s Vinoperfect line, consumer searches often use the branded name rather than only the INCI name. That makes it useful to explain both names together while keeping the source attribution clear.

Mechanism

For consumer-facing skincare language, Viniferine should be described as a brightening-positioned ingredient used for uneven-looking tone, dark-spot appearance, and radiance support. The official page includes stronger brand and in-vitro positioning, but this knowledge-base page does not translate that into a guaranteed outcome. In a routine, its role is best understood alongside the rest of the serum base: glycerin and butylene glycol for hydration feel, squalane and emollients for slip, bisabolol for soothing-positioned context, and sunscreen for daytime hyperpigmentation routines.
