Vivier is a pharmaceutical-grade skincare brand from Montréal, Canada. It relies on science and technology to develop state-of-the-art products that help us look and feel our best. Let’s explore what makes this Canadian brand so unique.

Vivier: the beauty of over 25 years of results

In 1997, Jess Vivier left his pharmaceutical career to dedicate his time to skincare development, following his wife Cindy’s quest for superior products. He wanted to create skincare that would be as targeted and effective as prescribed medication is for a specific ailment. He dreamed of developing products with the highest quality pharmaceutical-grade ingredients that would deliver fast, real results.

Three years later, Vivier sold its first Vitamin C serum, with 4 times better penetration than the leading serum on the market. People saw real transformation on their skin. Jess partnered with doctors to better understand skin concerns and then developed the Vivier brand. A little over 25 years later, the team at Vivier, now led by Jess’s sons, continue to make his vision a reality by bringing results-driven pharmaceutical-grade skincare solutions to life.

 

More than just skincare

Vivier uses pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and advanced technology to create effective yet gentle skincare products, including Vitamin C serums, hyperpigmentation treatments, and anti-aging solutions. These products are all crafted to address specific skin concerns and promote radiant, healthy-looking skin!

Their approach is simple: a four-step skincare routine using the highest-quality products to prepare, target, moisturize, and protect the skin.

• Prepare: the cleansers and toners remove impurities and rebalance the skin’s pH, enhancing product absorption and efficacy.
• Target: products that contain powerful ingredients to address specific concerns.
• Moisturize: moisturizers maintain the skin’s barrier function to ensure protection from damage.
• Protect: sunscreens use the latest technology and antioxidants to maximize protection.

A skincare routine that works

I recently had the chance to try a few Vivier products that were specifically targeted for my skin’s needs. I received the Hexam gentle cleanser, the C E Peptides antioxidant serum, and the Radiant eye contour cream. To say it was love at first sight (try?) is an understatement! I love the chic, minimalistic aesthetics of the brand, the barely-there scents, and the beautiful textures of the products.

Hexam gentle cleanser

Hexam gentle cleanser removes dirt, excess oil, and melts away makeup. It is formulated with Hexamidine, an antimicrobial and antibacterial agent that purifies pores without drying the skin. This is a gel cleanser that becomes slightly milky when massaged on the skin with water. It has a slight fresh scent that I love. My favourite part about this cleanser: it leaves my skin feeling super clean without drying it at all. A new favourite!

C E Peptides antioxidant serum

The C E Peptides antioxidant serum is a powerful, all-in-one serum. It was designed to target current and reduce any further signs of aging. This best-selling serum contains 10% Vitamin C, Vitamin E and a combination of 3 peptides to protect, correct, brighten and nourish the skin. Only 2 to 3 drops are needed for it to work its magic. It leaves the skin smoothed, soft, glowing and hydrated. I love that it does it all – this is the one serum to rule them all!

Radiant eye contour cream

The radiant eye contour cream is a lightweight cream that nourishes the delicate eye area. It contains Vitamin C and Pro-Vitamin B5 to moisturize and reduce the signs of aging, leaving the eye area bright and radiant. It penetrates rapidly and leaves no sticky finish.

Vivier is definitely a skincare brand to check out: its products are Canadian-made, science-backed, and truly focused on delivering results fast. They also support several foundations to contribute to a better future!
