Divine Discovery

After years of researching the restorative properties of grapes and vines, two cosmetic companies have tapped Bordeaux, France, as the ripest destination for the latest advancements in skin-care technology. Dior's limited-edition L'Or de Vie La Cure is the only anti-aging formula to feature Yquem Marcs extract, a fertilizer composed of white-grape seeds and skin that helps rejuvenate skin cells. Designed to be used daily for three months, the emulsion's rare ingredient has long-lasting effects ($2,000; dior.com). Caudalie's antioxidant-filled Premier Cru L'Elixir—the only part serum/part oil with resveratrol on the market—combines innovative ingredients, including grapevine extract and grape-seed oils, that help any complexion get better with age ($99; caudalie.com).
