    Details

    Created for those days when skin’s had a little too much sun, this French Pharmacy-inspired serum replenishes dry and damaged skin resulting from prolonged or unplanned exposure to UVA and UVB rays.

    Within 48 hours of use, it deeply soothes and rehydrates skin, and helps reduce the inflammatory cascade that causes short-term redness as well as long-term skin damage. Formulated with 96% naturally-sourced ingredients. Vegan, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and free of silicones.

    Violette's Inspiration: “When the temperature rises and the sun’s strength intensifies, I reach for UV Damage Rescue to help soothe, hydrate and counteract the impact of UV exposure on my skin. In addition to helping thwart the immediate visible symptoms of sunburn (it happens!), this serum works below the surface of your skin to interrupt the inflammatory reaction that leads to skin cell damage and photoaging over time. It’s like a caring ‘I got you’ in a bottle.

      Product FAQ

      Things
      people ask

      How do I use the Sérum Superlatif?

      We suggest using them when your skin needs extra amour and then in a couple days, we suggest going back to the regular skincare routine. Each of these concentrated serums work within 48 hours to treat and alleviate skin’s most common concerns to bring skin back to its natural, healthiest state.

      How do the serums work with my current skincare routine?

      We suggest using the Serum after cleansing and before Boum-Boum Milk or other skincare. For suggestions based on your current skincare routine, we suggest checking with your dermatologist. All ingredients are listed on the product page for review.

      Can I use multiple serums at once?

      Yes, you can use multiple serums at once. This is the case unless the serums lead to over reaction due to the high concentration of active ingredients. To treat a small zone, our chemist recommends using the serums 3 or 4 times a day separately.

      This product has done amazing

      "This product has done amazing things for my skin! I have rosacea and this serum has helped reduce redness, sensitivity, texture and inflammation. I saw results within a few days. Love it!"

      — Joyce B. (5/5)

      Impressive!

      "I’m impressed with this all rounder that I’ve used under eyes and on the neck! I switched over to a new skincare routine utilising the serum (Barrier rescue), milk and cream and it’s been almost 3 weeks - what a difference, my skin is plump, soft and nourished. Naturally, there were a few days when my skin on my cheeks was a little red and this has now subsided. Will purchase the relevant serum (reactive skin) to help with the redness (which most definitely is hormone related) to incorporate into my new skincare routine as see how it goes. What I realise is less is more and giving my skin time to breathe - thank you for creating some amazing products 😊"

      Love it

      "Haven’t used it long but I like the feel on my skin. Very moisturizing. Minimal smell. A little goes a long way."

      — Shannon L. (5/5)

      Keeping it in my arsenal!!

      "Sorcery. That’s what this is. Girl. I am 47. Not only am I perimenopausal but I’m in the dead drama of graduate school, trying to finish this first year. My skin is not having it. While questioning my life’s decisions, I remembered seeing this product and came back to try it. Seriously- I do not know what magic is sprinkled in here but it helped SO much and fast. Thank you! My confidence in this product is going to push me to try the other serums. I have an event tomorrow, and I’m so grateful my face is calming down!! Thank you!"

      — Serena (5/5)

      "Great formula! Non sticky, light and very effective. My combination and sensitive skin are loving it. I recently started tretinol and this has help my skin barrier a lot!"

      — Charly (5/5)

      Another favourite

      "I switched to all Violette's skincare about 2 years ago as I was simply fed up with all the different stuff on the market. I've done retinol, which made my skin super sensitive. I had reached an impasse so decided to simplify my routine so I switched to use Boum Boum Milk and C'est le Cream and boy have I noticed a difference. I have always looked after my skin. My skin is plump and dewy and I'm now 66 years old. I add the Serums as and when I need them, so currently using the UV one to repair any potential damage from the summer. When Autumn comes around, I'll use the Barrier one. I would thoroughly recommend all of Violette's products. It's wonderful to have high quality vegan products that gives such wonderful results. Merci"

      — Kay (5/5)

      Love this stuff

      "I have rosacea and this serum pairs perfectly with my red sensitive skin. I use it spring to fall and love how it noticeably calms the redness in my cheeks."

      — Anna B. (5/5)

      Superb set

      "Oh my, I love using these oils as I can choose one depending on my skins needs: whether dehydrated or pigmentation after the sun or to treat a spot it works so well. And the box feels so Lux I love opening it … It sparks joy all the time!! Love, love, love 🥰"

      — Jacinta J. (5/5)

      Non pour ma peau

      "Malheureusement je n’ai pas aimé ce produit. Il est arrivé solidifie, et j’ai du le réchauffer dans de l’eau tiède. Pour ma peau est trop gras."

      — Marta T. (1/5)

      Really calms the skin

      "I love it. I can tell that my redness is controlled with the serum. When applied in the evening, I can see the redness is calmed down"
