Synergistic duo RETINOL + VITAMIN C delivers visible, transformative results.
Forty years of studies prove retinol's extraordinary age delaying capabilities, and just as many studies show the powerful effects of Vitamin C, especially when combined with Vitamin E. More recent studies show how A, C, and E work together to support superior collagen-building and antioxidant effects. Our high tech formula permits anhydrous Vitamin C and microencapsulated retinol, with stabilization assist from Vitamin E, to coexist to deliver near-miraculous results.
SAFETY NOTE:
Retinol is the safe Vitamin A derivative, not to be confused with retinyl palmitate, which one study shows may enhance tumor growth in the presence of UV, or isotretinoin, which dermatologists prescribe for severe acne.
BENEFITS
Speeds cellular turnover and provides the nutrients your body needs to repair and rebuild collagen.
Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles. Clears pores and controls breakouts.

Delivers significant age delay results without irritation.

ABOUT
Marie Veronique is a science-led skincare company grounded in a simple philosophy: tell the truth. They approach skin not as something to correct, but as a dynamic system to support.
Every product is formulated, developed, and tested in their lab using Good Lab Practices, then manufactured in-house under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Their formulations combine essential lipids, microbiome-supportive ingredients, and biomimetic peptides to support skin function from surface to depth, continually refined as science evolves.
Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002 by chemist and inventor Marie Veronique Nadeau, Marie Veronique began with a singular goal: to advance skin health through a deeper understanding of how skin functions. Marie’s ongoing work in research and formulation has shaped the brand into one of the industry’s most respected scientific voices, grounded in curiosity, rigor, and a long view of aging. In 2018, Kristina Holey began collaborating with the brand, joining full-time in 2021 as Director of Skin Health. With a background in science, esthetics, and holistic skin care, she expands their educational foundation and systems-based approach.
