VouPre is a skincare line founded by a board-certified dermatologist named Mary Luchetti. The brand describes its product line as "Products That Deliver Results," and the product line is incredibly expensive with some products retailing for over $1,000.

But do VouPre products contain research-backed ingredients for improving skin quality? Do they contain any questionable additives? How do real users rate and describe the effects of VouPre? And which retailer sells VouPre for the best price?

In this article we'll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in two of the most popular VouPre products (Advanced Gold Eye Serum and Anti-Aging Rescue Solution) to give our take on whether or not they're likely to be effective, and whether or not they're healthy.

We'll also feature real customer reviews of the brand, and provide a cost comparison to show which retailer sells VouPre for the best price.

Key takeaways:

• Contains effective active ingredients but some unhealthy additives
• Not worth the price in our view
• We do not currently recommend VouPre

Ingredient Analysis — Eye Serum

The ingredients in VouPre Advanced Gold Eye Serum are shown above.

This formulation does contain a number of research-backed active ingredients.

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 are both peptides, which is a class of compounds clinically shown to reduce wrinkles when applied topically.

Green tea is clinically shown to increase skin moisture content, as we documented in our review of Youth to the People.

Pueraria lobata may help protect skin from sun damage, according to a clinical trial published in the Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology.

Gold has "antioxidant and dermoprotective properties" according to a 2020 medical review.

This cream contains two inactive ingredients that we consider unhealthy when used in combination.

Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative shown to be toxic to human cells in a 2020 clinical trial.

Ethylhexylglycerin is another synthetic preservative that's clinically shown to enhance the toxic effect of phenoxyethanol.

Overall, we consider VouPre Advanced Gold Eye Serum likely to reduce wrinkles, to have a hydrating effect and to protect skin from UV damage.

However, we don't currently recommend this product due to the inactive ingredients highlighted above.

Ingredient Analysis — Rescue Solution

The ingredients in VouPre Anti-Aging Rescue Solution are shown above.

Like the previous product, this one contains a variety of research-backed active ingredients.

Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is another topical peptide that may have an anti-wrinkle effect.

Avocado oil was shown in a 2008 clinical trial to be beneficial for dry skin.

Sweet almond oil is clinically shown to have an smoothing and rejuvenating effect on skin, as we documented in our CeraVe Eye Repair Cream reviews article.

Grape seed extract was shown to promote skin repair in a 2011 animal study.

Ethylhexylglycerin and phenoxyethanol are the same two preservatives we referenced in the previous Ingredient Analysis section.

Our takeaway for this product is the same as for Advanced Gold Eye Serum: likely to be effective, but not something we'd recommend for health reasons.

Our Clean Skincare Pick

MindBodyGreen Best Skin+ is our top anti-aging skin supplement.

It contains orange extract which is clinically shown to increase skin moisturization, skin elasticity and skin radiance.

This supplement also contains astaxanthin which is clinically shown to cause "wrinkle formation reduction."

This supplement is free of ingredients that we consider to be unhealthy.

VouPre Pros and Cons

Here are the pros and cons of VouPre in our opinion:

Pros:

• Potent formulations
• Should reduce wrinkles
• Should protect skin from environmental damage
• Should moisturize skin
• Better than average cosmetic brand
• Free shipping from brand's website
• Founded by dermatologist
• Fragrance-free
• Dye-free

Cons:

• Highly expensive
• Doesn't appear clinically tested
• Unimpressive branding/packaging for price
• Contains two questionable synthetic preservatives

Conclusion

VouPre is the most expensive skincare line we've reviewed to date on Illuminate Health.

From an efficacy perspective, this brand is worth the price. Both of the formulations we reviewed were packed with research-backed active ingredients that should support optimal skin health and aesthetic appearance.

From a safety perspective, we don't currently recommend either formulation due to the inclusion of two synthetic preservatives that may have harmful effects when used in combination.

We're also unimpressed by the branding and packaging of VouPre, especially given the high price point.

It's a good thing that this product line is formulated by a board-certified dermatologist, and if the brand removed the two preservatives, we'd consider recommending these formulations.
