Professor Joseph Vercauteren is one of the world's specialists in Polyphenols. He is the Director of the Laboratory of Pharmacognosy at Montpellier's University of Pharmacy in France, associated with the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research). He has been the scientific advisor of our research centre since the creation of Caudalie. Free radicals are the main causes of skin ageing. They are generated by light, pollution, smoke... They attack our cells and trigger premature ageing. The same free radicals make our cars go rusty and turn fruits brown. They are responsible for 4 out of 5 wrinkles. After years of Research, Caudalie has succeeded in stabilising anti-oxidant Polyphenols for the very first time, 10,000 times more active than vitamin E*. A technical prowess that makes Polyphenol C15 Anti-Wrinkle Defense Serum a real shield to protect against free radicals.
