MARIE VERONIQUE SKIN CARE features TWO HIGH END SERUMS
Berkeley,CA(Perfect Skin Today)12/31/14/–Marie Veronique is a small skin care company based in Berkeley, California, and they have a couple of serums we like the Gentle Retinol Serum ($110) and the Redness Relief Serum.
Let’s start with the Gentle Retinol which contains retinoids, a vital ingredient in good skin care.
Simply put they are Vitamin A derivatives that boost collagen production, speed cell turnover and unclog pores. What this actually does is to make them look a lot smaller which reduces acne This particular serum does is to use microencapsulation technology It combines l-ascorbic acid and retinol without compromising any of the effectiveness of either one.

“Twelve years ago I got fed up battling rosacea and throwing hope and money at dozens of products that didn’t work. So I took matters into my own hands. My kitchen became my lab, and I started experimenting with the best and healthiest ingredients I could find. My final formula not only relieved my rosacea, but also grabbed the attention of friends needing solutions to their own skin conditions. Before long, I had new products and a new business that supported my philosophy—promoting personal well-being and an eco-conscious lifestyle. I love talking with my customers about the formulation process—and could talk for hours about research, and the ingredients we use—and why. It’s all about finding out what my customers need and creating safe, healthy solutions that really work.
Retinol percentage in this serum is 7% and the other two main ingredients are resveratrol and Sodium salicylate. The resveratrol serves as a photo-aging repair complex along with Helix pomatia and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the complex also provides a decent dose of antioxidants. This potent serum should be used last thing at night.
The Redness Relief serum ($50 for 1 oz) can be used morning and night and consists of anti-inflammatories to combat redness, micronutrients to strengthen capillaries along with probiotics to balance the skin and prevent flushing. Probiotics also populate the skin’s microbiome to make the skin ec0-healthy.
Rosacea affects almost 10 million Americans and is caused by environmental stress, anti microbial cleansers, and over-exfoliation with excessive peels and gadgets. Exposure to the sun and too much alcohol are also culprits, so if you suffer from redness give this stuff a try. Some of the lesser ingredients in the mix include Chinese licorice, lavender, green and white tea, sea buckthorn oil, helichrysum, lycopene, lecithin and xanthan gum. It also comes in a larger 2oz jar which costs $90.
It is a nice and cream serum that goes on real easy without that sticky feeling that some serums unfortunately have, and the Marie Veronique versions are good ones to have in your collection.
