Caudalie's {Serum and Sun care Set} stars the award-winning Vinoperfect serum — is a travel must-have that cares for your skin in the short-term with its high protection powers from the sun but also in the long-term, thanks to the star ingredient of the Vinoperfect range: Viniferine. Plus it includes the Very High Protection Lightweight Cream SPF50+ which protects against the strongest UVA/UVB rays, whilst remaining lightweight enough to reapply throughout the day, seamlessly and invisibly blending into skin without leaving a white cast.
