This French Pharmacy-inspired serum intensely hydrates and gives a weakened skin barrier the extra boost it needs to combat irritation resulting from harsh weather, environmental aggressors, over-exfoliating, and dryness. Potent but gentle, it works within 48 hours to reduce inflammation and redness, and soothe sensitive reactions. With continued use for 2-3 weeks, it helps improve skin’s elasticity and firmness and brings skin back to its natural, healthiest, most resilient state. Formulated with 96% naturally-sourced ingredients. Vegan, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and free of silicones.
Violette's Inspiration: “Our skin barrier is a fine layer of healthy fat, ceramides, and cholesterol that rests on the surface of our porous skin to keep helpful things in and harmful things out. So you can only imagine what exposure to extreme weather conditions or aggressive skincare habits can do to our poor barrier. Use Skin Barrier Rescue whenever your skin feels like it needs extra support–it’s TLC in a bottle when the stress of life gets to be too much for your skin.”

"My skin feels dry and irritated after cleansing with even the most gentle products. I have used this serum in the evening before my moisturizer and found the my redness and tight, tingling feeling has decreased quite significantly. I will continue to use this as a nightly treatment and may try it under my makeup in the morning as well. Thank you!"
"I have used many serum from the more affordable to luxury brands, the skin rescue serum from Violette FR has by far had the most impact on my sensitive skin to nourish and absorb without a greasy feeling. A small drop of the serum is potent enough to apply all over the face. I have found that applying the serum before the moisturizer cream has kept my skin moisturized throughout the day."
"I'm not a huge serum fan, but this feels pleasant to use (it's light, non-sticky, and dries down quickly). I use it before applying tret (which I always layer) as an extra guard against irritation and to keep my barrier happy."
"Super comfortable on the skin, it doesn't drip down on the face, it doesn't leave a sticky sense on the skin. It makes my skin fresh and firm."
"Belle découverte, peau profondément réhydratée et repulpée . Texture extrêmement agréable"
"I’ve been using it barely for two days but no bad reaction. I like it"
"I love every sérum superlatif! Every year, I work a large conference and am stuck in a hotel for four days straight, and the dry hotel air does a number on my skin. I layer the Reactive Skin serum on before additional moisturizers, which is the only way my skin doesn't dry and crack for days. In the summer, I rely on the UV Damage serum, which deeply replenishes my skin after days at the beach. My absolute favorite though is the Dullness Rescue: I use it year round and it gives my skin an extra bump of glow. I've had people ask me what I use, which is amazing as I was always someone with dull, acne-prone skin. Love love love these products!"
"Delighted to have found a marvellous serum that is immediately absorbed and makes skin feel & look better almost immediately. Would highly recommend."
"This serum does soothe my irritated skin- thank you!"
"Feels so soothing on the skin."
