An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Elan de vie – Signature fragrance inspired by a fine-fragrance atelier. T: Violet Leaf, Drenched Ivy, Cyclamen M: Vanilla Orchid, Orris B: Sandalwood, Musk, White Cedar The fragrance opens with a fresh and invigorating blend of violet leaf and drenched ivy, creating a crisp, greentop layer that awakens the senses. As it evolves, the heart reveals a sumptuous bouquet of vanilla orchid and orris offering an alluring play of floral richness and creamy sweetness. In the dry down, the fragrance settles into a warm, comforting base of sandalwood, musk and cedar, imparting depth.

create accountParëva™ Beauty is a female scientist founded skincare brand rooted in Good Science, Radical Transparency, and Joy. The name stems from the Sanskrit word parevartan, meaning joyful transformation — a reflection of the brand’s promise to transform skin health using biotechnology. Parëva™ Beauty didn’t begin in a boardroom — it began in a lab. Scientist and founder Smitha Rao grew disillusioned with vague promises and greenwashed beauty language that is so prevalent in beauty. She envisioned a new standard: one where science leads, formulas are backed by proof, where there is transparency and the focus is improving skin health, not a short-term fix.

"The texture is nice, but it didn't do much for my skin immediately or long term. It worked well enough as a primer."
— Norlamo (3/5)
"I loved the serum, but the 1ml size lasted just under a month using one pump per day…. (I would give 5 stars for the product and 1 star for the price/quantity ratio)"
— Lisa P. (3/5)
"Not sure why I haven’t heard of this before. I got a trial size & fell in love. I noticed skin improvements right away. Ordering the full size & excited to see what 30 days of use will do. Also, I am obsessed with the natural scent."
— What. E. (5/5)
"Parëva C35. 5 uses 30% THD ascorbate, a stable, oil-soluble derivative of vitamin C that tends to be less irritating and more comfortable for sensitive skin compared to traditional L-ascorbic acid. However, because THD ascorbate must convert within the skin into active L-ascorbic acid to deliver collagen-stimulating benefits, it may require more metabolic “work” than formulas that use pure L-ascorbic acid directly. The formula also contains fragrance components, including limonene and hexyl cinnamal, which can potentially cause irritation or sensitivity with long-term use, particularly for reactive skin types."
— El (4/5)
"I absolutely love this serum! I noticed a smoother and hydrated complexion after my first use. A little goes a long way. I use this on my face and neck right after cleansing and my skin feels so silky and flawless right away. I wish they had a similar product for the body!"
— Grace G. (5/5)
"No noticeable difference. Texture did not mix well with any other skincare products I use."
— Jack (2/5)
"This product has a lovely feel - and so far, it's made my skin look very glowy."
— Maura F. (5/5)
"This packaging was very trendy looking and modern. My friend did not think it was a skincare product at first glance. When I opened the package I liked the matte feeling and look to the bottle. After hearing the breakdown of the product and the ingredients by the scientist/ceo I was very excited to test it out. When squeezing it out the serum was like a gel consistency but it lays on the skin more oily, which is different from the water based serums I typically use. Over time I found that the serum in conjunction with the gel crème kept my skin firm and hydrated. It also kept my skin hydrated enough for makeup, so much so that I didn’t need to use a primer. I am excited to continue using this product to see the results of using it long term. **This review was collected as part of a promotion."

"Ive been using this serum for a couple weeks now. I must say, i am really enjoying it. I am impressed with the glow and firmness my skin has now. People have complimented my skin alot more now. I use it under my makeup and there is definitely a glow that comes with using it. I love the packaging and how the ingredients are on the front of the bottle. I also like how the directions say to push product upwards on the neckline. My skin feels like velvet when applying the product. I also like that you can follow this product with a moisturizer. My face feels amazing. I dont think i have ever used a glow serum like this before. I will definitely be purchasing when i run out of the product. If you do not have a glow serum, please add it to your skincare routine. **This review was collected as part of a promotion."

"The Parëva C35. 5 Firming Glow Serum is awesome! From the first use, my skin looked noticeably more radiant and refreshed. I am already seeing firmer, more even-toned skin, and my fine lines look less pronounced. This serum layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup without pilling or stickiness. My makeup goes on so smooth over it. The formula is packed with high-potency vitamin C (35. 5%), peptides, niacinamide, and plant stem cell exosomes—super impressive ingredients, especially for sensitive skin like mine. Even with all of these ingredients, this serum still feels gentle and lightweight. No irritation, just glow. You don't need more than two pumps so it is definitely worth the splurge if you are serious about skincare! I highly recommend this product! **This review was collected as part of a promotion."
