Why We Made Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion
Watch Founder Marie-Veronique Nadeau and Director of Skin Health Kristina Holey reflect on why we decided to create Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion.
Introducing the First Truly Clean, Microbiome-Friendly Alternative for Prescription Retinoids
We are thrilled to unveil our latest product, a true innovation in skin health: Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion. This creamy, luxe night treatment offers a more intelligent and comprehensive way to address aging than anything currently on the market.
Created to address the need we saw in our ongoing work with clients for a highly effective, microbiome-friendly alternative to prescription retinoids, this product is designed to provide a smart, strategic way to address and heal the declining function that is characteristic of aging skin.
Skin Health Tips for LA Living
Marie Veronique products are designed to repair, restore, and protect the skin from unavoidable stressors in the environment that everyone experiences. In LA, that typically includes photodamage (damage from the sun and other sources of UV light), arid climate, and pollution.
How to Build a Skin Health Regimen
Having healthy, beautiful skin means different things for each person, and requires a holistic approach that takes into consideration your skin and health history, as well as your current skin state and significant influences from your everyday life. As with anything health related, there’s a certain amount of self-discovery necessary if you want to make impactful changes that support healthy skin function and symptom-free skin.
Marie Veronique EDU: Saltwater | An At Home Bath You Make Yourself
While making high quality skincare products that deliver the essential micronutrients for skin health is complicated, some are appropriately DIY. Bath salts fall into this category. Taking a warm bath with salts is a smart way to improve circulation, which benefits all internal organs and pathways of elimination — especially the skin! In fact, boosting your circulation via exercise, proper hydration, eating well, and yes, taking a warm bath, has a positive effect on your overall systemic health.
Skin During Pregnancy and Postpartum: What’s Going On?
Pregnancy and postpartum is a time of profound change within the body, and that certainly is true for skin function. Changes during this time are common, whether skin becomes symptomatic for the first time, underlying skin symptoms surface, or, more positively, the coveted ‘pregnancy glow’ reveals itself. We often hear from clients that they’re unsure, confused, and sometimes even fearful of skin symptoms arising during pregnancy and postpartum, especially if they’ve had issues in the past. We want to help alleviate that fear.
Rethinking Exfoliation: the Most Misunderstood Practice in Skincare
In general, we do not promote heavy exfoliation or peeling of the skin; instead of looking at the short term results of exfoliation, which can have a brightening effect, we focus on nourishing and promoting a strong barrier layer. As we’ve written about many times before, your barrier layer works hard to keep you healthy, so it is important not to compromise it.
Skincare Must Be Strategic. And It Starts With Supporting Barrier Function.
In this post, we clarify what “barrier function” actually means, how it works, and what you can do to not only support it, but actually improve it. Because here’s the thing – if you don’t have healthy barrier function, you don’t have healthy skin. Period. It won’t function well, and it certainly won’t look good.
