Barrier Restore Serum

Description

Marie Veronique Barrier Restore Serum is a lightweight hydration step created to help keep skin feeling comfortable and balanced. Originally developed with delicate skin in mind, it has become a favorite for a wide range of skin types. Many reach for it as an alternative to heavier moisturizers or as a layering step in drier conditions, making it a versatile addition to both morning and evening routines.

This serum features ceramides and sodium PCA—components found naturally in the skin—along with plankton extract, phosphatidyl serine, sodium hyaluronate, and magnesium chloride. Together, these ingredients are known for their hydrating and conditioning properties, helping the skin feel soft, smooth, and well-prepped for the next step in your regimen.

HOW TO USE IT

Use morning and night. Shake well before use. Apply a thin layer after cleansing and misting, then follow with facial oil.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Marie Veronique is a California-based skincare brand specializing in small-batch, microbiome-friendly formulations that support long-term skin health. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Berkeley, Marie Veronique combines multidisciplinary research with a commitment to clean chemistry, offering topical solutions for all skin types and tones. With a particular emphasis on the science of age delay, the brand creates products that address a range of skin conditions—including dryness, congestion, and sensitivity—by working with, not against, the skin’s natural intelligence.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions. Today, the brand is recognized for its evidence-led formulations, thoughtful ingredient sourcing, and transparent production practices. All products are made in-house at their Berkeley lab, ensuring freshness, efficacy, and integrity at every step. Marie Veronique also prioritizes sustainability by using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste in production, and supporting suppliers who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. As a woman-founded and woman-led company, Marie Veronique also champions equity and access by supporting initiatives that empower underrepresented voices in science and wellness.
