- The Marie Veronique Story
A sophisticated blend of science and plant wisdom, Marie Veronique’s Gentle Retinol Night Serum is designed to restore skin integrity while honoring its sensitivity. Forty years of studies prove retinol’s extraordinary age-delaying capabilities, and just as many show the transformative effects of vitamin C, especially when paired with vitamin E. More recent research confirms that vitamins A, C, and E work synergistically to enhance collagen production and provide powerful antioxidant protection. And Gentle Retinol Night harnesses this wisdom: allowing anhydrous vitamin C and microencapsulated retinol, stabilized by vitamin E, to coexist...delivering near-miraculous results without the usual irritation. Retinol stimulates cellular turnover and clears pores, while L-ascorbic acid firms, brightens, and supports skin repair. Buffered with sodium salicylate for gentleness, and bolstered by a Photoaging Repair Complex of resveratrol and superoxide dismutase, this serum also strengthens barrier function with ceramides and supports regeneration with CoQ10. A go-to nightly ritual for those addressing signs of aging, breakouts, or pigmentation, this formula truly delivers smoother, clearer, and more resilient skin.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, Marie Veronique is a pioneering voice in clean, microbiome-friendly skincare: crafting small-batch, science-forward formulas that honor the skin’s innate intelligence. With a deep respect for biology, their ethos is rooted in the belief that skin doesn’t need fixing...it needs support. Each creation is the result of rigorous research and cross-disciplinary wisdom, drawing from biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health to create topicals that are not only effective but profoundly thoughtful. Co-founded by chemist Marie Veronique Nadeau and guided by a mission to tell the truth in an industry riddled with misinformation, the brand has become a trusted leader among estheticians, practitioners, and conscious consumers alike. Sustainability and integrity are central to their practice - from glass bottles and reduced packaging to long-standing partnerships with like-minded suppliers. Every product reflects their dedication to the health of both skin and planet. Female-founded and led, the team behind Marie Veronique includes skin health educator Kristina Holey and visionary co-founder Kristy-Moore Jeffress, who together continue to shift the paradigm toward skincare that is ethical, effective, and radically honest.
