If sensitive to Niacinamide you may initially experience a mild flush and redness which will quickly dissipate leaving the skin calm.

Reviews

Cools rosacea

"A facialist turned me on to this serum, and now I can't live without it! I have a small amount of rosacea this keeps it calm. I put it on after spraying my face with a gentle rose toner. It's expensive, but worth it."

— Kristina V. (5/5)

Favorite MV Product

"Yes, this is pretty pricey for a "poor" college student, but it has been so helpful for my skin. Whenever I have angry breakouts (especially painful cystic acne) this serum saves the day. It is a little too pricey for me to use it everyday, but recently my skin was having a HORRIBLE time and I used this serum about four times a day to help my skin calm down, and it worked!"

— Heist W. (5/5)

Holy Grail

"This serum will always have a place in my routine. It's so hydrating to my dry and sensitive skin but also somehow keeps any breakouts and congestion away. It's amazing!"

— Lisa H. (5/5)

Marie Véronique is amazing

"I've been using Marie Veronique consistently for the past couple years, and I constantly get complimented on my skin. I have rosacea that is reactive to oils (and almost everything else lol), so I'm only able to use the Vitamin B Serum, which is so calming and nourishing, the Skin Barrier Repair Serum, and MV Sunscreen, but these are all I need. If you're a rosacea-prone babe, introduce the MV Vitamin B Serum slowly. It's common for rosacea skin to be allergic to Niacinamide (Vitamin B). I know everyone wants immediate results, but Marie Veronique will give you so much return on your investment, if you're consistent long-term."

— Jessica T. (5/5)

Desert Island Keeper

"This product was my skin savior years ago when I was struggling with rosacea and my gateway into Marie Veronique products. I recently repurchased as my skin was becoming a little more problematic again and everything settled back down. Currently using at night with MV C+E Ferulic and Bloom Effects Royal Tulip Nectar with Echinacea. Will always have this in rotation."

— krista a. (5/5)

Good!

"Good!"

— Al (5/5)

Wonderful night time serum

"I've been using this serum at night, in combination with her multi-retinol night emulsion, and night face oil. I've been really happy with the results. My skin drinks up the serum, and I've have noticeable improvements when I wake up in the morning - my skin is hydrated and happy. I'd recommend this product to others for sure."

— Maggie W. (5/5)

True botanicals, pure radiance eye cream

"The product is remarkable, tightens the skin around the eyes it corrects discoloration. It’s in a very clean antiseptic bottle, which I love."

— Ben R. (5/5)

My sensitive skin did not like it

"I was hopping this would be a great option for me since I love their cleanser but unfortunately it gives me a lot of redness in my skin instantly after applying. Sadly had to return."

— Paola S. (3/5)

Loving this

"I have extremely sensitive skin and acne prone skin and have recently started an MV routine. This product is soothing and gentle. I think my skin is purging a bit from the intensive repair serum and retinol but I notice this is consistently brightening my skin, hoping the purge ends soon! But I can already tell my skin texture is changing for the better"

— Blakey B. (4/5)
