The Glow Protocol
For skin that is stable and ready for targeted results: post-acne marks, sun spots, uneven tone. An A-Derma exfoliating night serum prepares the surface. The Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum delivers Viniferine – a compound derived from vine sap that inhibits melanin production 62x more effectively than Vitamin C in vitro, according to Caudalie's research. The Melvita Source de Roses Cream seals and hydrates while you sleep. Three brands, three steps, one evening routine. Morning SPF is your responsibility – and it is not optional.

I used the Vinoperfect for two months before I noticed. Then a colleague asked me what I had done differently. I had done nothing else. That is still the best skincare compliment I have received.

The Glow Protocol is a treatment routine – it doesn't include an evening moisturizer. After the Serum, skin that is dry or needs extra nourishment benefits from a moisturising layer. The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Retinol-Like adds plant-derived retinol alternatives on top of the treatment without interfering with Viniferine. Apply it last, after the Serum, on evenings when your skin needs more.
Why this works
Viniferine: 62x vs. Vitamin C in vitro.
Caudalie's patented active from vine sap inhibits melanin production at the source. No oxidation risk, no irritation. According to Caudalie's published research.
Exfoliate first. Treat deeper.
The A-Derma Night Peel removes the surface layer so the Vinoperfect Serum penetrates more effectively. Applied in sequence 2–3 times a week, the results are faster than using either product alone.
Morning SPF is not included – and not optional.
This protocol works in the evening. Melanin production is UV-triggered — if you skip morning SPF, you are working against the treatment. Use whatever SPF you already trust. Minimum SPF30, preferably SPF50.
Questions about this routine
How often do I use the A-Derma Night Peel?
How often do I use the A-Derma Night Peel?
2–3 times per week, not every night. On nights you use the Night Peel, apply the Vinoperfect Serum immediately after, then the Melvita Cream. On other nights, start directly with the Serum.
How long before I see results?
How long before I see results?
Melanin takes time to cycle to the surface and fade. Most people notice a difference after 4–6 weeks of consistent use. Skipping evenings or missing morning SPF extends that timeline – UV triggers melanin production which works directly against the treatment.
Can I use this if my skin is currently sensitive?
Can I use this if my skin is currently sensitive?
Not yet. If your skin is reacting or stinging, start with the Barrier Repair Set. Return to the Glow Protocol once your barrier is stable – usually after 2–3 weeks. The A-Derma Night Peel contains exfoliating actives that will cause more irritation on a compromised barrier, not results.
