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.”

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