Vivier

Radiance Serum

Radiance Serum is a vitamin C combination antioxidant serum suitable for all skin types, especially mild hyperpigmented and/or oily skin. With three tyrosinase inhibitors (which reduce melanin production) working in synergy, it is designed to reduce signs of photoaging, brown spots and uneven skin tone. I also recommend Radiance Serum as an alternative to hydroquinone for treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders.

Key Ingredients:

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) USP, a powerful antioxidant that boosts collagen production, protects the skin against free radicals and addresses skin texture and tone.
  • Arbutin, a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that brightens photodamaged skin.
  • Resorcinol, another potent tyrosinase inhibitor and effective exfoliant that sloughs off dead skin cells to reveal healthy, radiant, younger looking skin.

Vivier Vitamin C Serums are unique in their patented IDS (Intra Dermal System) delivery method, which allows better penetration into all layers of the skin, initiating a slow release designed to deposit the active ingredient in a controlled manner where it is needed in the skin.

Grenzcine Serum

Grenzcine Serum is a powerful antioxidant and technologically advanced antiaging serum suitable for all skin types, especially mature, thin skin with deeper wrinkles and loss of volume in the face, neck and decolletage. It helps increase firmness, volume and hydration of the skin, with increased luminosity and improved skin tone, texture and elasticity. Grenzcine Serum may also be used post procedures including laser treatments, medical microneedling and chemical peels to enhance healing as well as prevent and remodel scars.

Key Ingredients:

  • Polyamine-DAB boosts collagen production, while healing and repairing (thickening) the skin, by strengthening the epidermis and dermal-epidermal junction.
  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid USP), a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals, calms, brightens, boosts collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Grapefruit extract has antioxidant properties.

Polyamine-DAB is naturally occurring and essential for growth and function of normal cells by its ability to protect against free radical damage, reduce the harmful effects of inflammation and accelerate wound healing. As we age, our polyamine levels significantly decline, resulting in slower cellular processes that may lead to visible signs of aging and thin skin. By applying topical polyamines to mature skin, we improve our cellular functions to restore a healthier state.

Ultimage

Ultimage combines neuropeptides and hyaluronic acid, two powerful ingredients that work in synergy to refresh and rejuvenate and provide a smoother, softer and ageless complexion. I also recommend Ultimage to enhance post procedure healing as it complements and maintains procedures to target all layers of the skin.

Key Ingredients:

  • Acetyl hexapeptide-8 helps to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles by intercepting transmission of chemical signal responsible for facial muscle contractions.
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin are humectants that increase moisture in the skin and allows the epidermis to achieve greater suppleness and turgor.
  • Mucopolysaccharides and glycosaminoglycans increase hydration, elasticity and firmness of the skin by their strong moisture binding capacity.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) stimulates cellular proliferation and aids in tissue repair, with moisturizing and wound healing properties.

Ultra Purifying Clay Mask

Ultra Purifying Clay Mask, an exfoliating and conditioning treatment ideal for all skin types, especially oily, combination and acne-prone skin, is designed to minimize pores, absorb excess oil, provide firmness, revealing fresher, healthier and younger-looking skin without excess shine.

Key Ingredients:

  • Red and white Kaolin clay draws out impurities, toxins and excess sebum, unclogs and minimizes pores, improves skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Sugar Maple, Orange and Lemon Extracts (alpha hydroxy acids) + Salicylic Acid (a beta hydroxy acid) exfoliate to stimulate cell turnover on the skin surface and accelerate removal of dead skin cells.
  • Allantoin is a mild keratolytic (which reduces dead skin cells) while moisturizing and soothing the skin.
  • Arnica is an anti-inflammatory and is soothing.
  • Calendula is an anti-inflammatory with antioxidant properties and is moisturizing and soothing.
  • Vitamin E is an anti-inflammatory with antioxidant and hydrating properties.

Derma-V

Derma-V is a multi-functional, protective barrier cream, which can be used AM and PM, to optimize your skin health, restore hydration levels and enhance skin healing by repairing the skin barrier and restoring the microbiome. It is designed to reduce downtime post procedure for chemical peels, non-ablative lasers and microdermabrasion. It can be used for sensitive, reactive, dry and irritated skin, and it is great for those wearing masks every day. It is an excellent moisturizer for acne prone patients who prefer something lightweight that would not clog their pores, and it is perfect for application before a retinoid such as retinol or tretinoin (Retin-A), to reduce the risk of irritation.

Key Ingredients:

  • Prebiotics help to balance the microbiome and pH for a healthy and properly functioning skin.
  • Antioxidants (Resveratrol + Thermus thermophilis ferment) help to protect the skin from free radical damage and aging.
  • Hydration boosters (Sodium hyaluronate + Oriza sativa + Glycosaminoglycans) boost the hydration, lipid and water content in our skin and help to prevent transepidermal water loss.
  • Repairing boosters (Teprenone) help stimulate the creation of proteins known to protect and stabilize your cell’s DNA ensuring optimal cell health and longevity.
  • Peptides (hydrolyzed Myrtus communis leaf extract) help to activate cellular activity and limit glycation so our skin maintains its strength and elasticity.

C E Ferulic

C E Ferulic is a vitamin C combination antioxidant serum which is formulated for optimal vitamin C absorption and effectiveness. It neutralizes free radical damage caused by daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, visible light (including blue light) and infrared-A radiation. It also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin firmness and enhance skin radiance and brighten the complexion.

Key Ingredients:

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), a powerful antioxidant that boosts collagen production, protects the skin against free radicals and addresses skin texture and tone.
  • Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) helps boost the skin’s natural antioxidant defense and protects the skin against environmental damage.

A phytoalexin, resveratrol is produced by plants as a protective antibiotic. Resveratrol has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties, which calm down the skin and reduce skin-aging. Resveratrol not only works against free radicals, it also increases the skin’s overall antioxidant effectiveness—to improve the look of fine lines, skin firmness, elasticity, hyperpigmentation, texture and overall radiance.
  • Baicalin, a flavonoid antioxidant derived from the roots of the baical skullcap plant, is a potent antioxidant with skin calming properties, and has been shown to help protect the skin from environmental damage.

Discoloration Defense

Discoloration Defense is a potent daily-use serum formulated for hard-to-treat discoloration such as melasma by fading unwanted pigmentation and preventing new discoloration from forming and accelerating cellular turnover and evening out skin tone. It complements professional brightening treatments including lasers, medical microneedling and chemical peels. It can be used as an alternative to hydroquinone or for off-hydroquinone cycle maintenance therapy.

Key Ingredients:

  • Tranexamic acid provides a powerful and specific anti-inflammatory action, inhibiting the tyrosinase synthesis in melanocytes. At the same time, it blocks the transfer of pigment from melanocytes to keratinocytes in the epidermis. Tranexamic acid also calms the skin and helps restore the skin barrier.
  • Kojic acid is a natural metabolite produced from different types of fungi. It lightens the skin by preventing the production of tyrosine, the amino acid responsible for producing melanin (skin pigment). It also works as an antioxidant in the skin. 
  • Niacinamide (vitamin B3), a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, helps to control acne breakouts, redness and hyperpigmentation.
