Founded by Jess Vivier, Vivier was created with a singular vision: to bring the consistency and credibility of pharmaceutical science into modern skincare. After a successful career in pharmaceuticals, Jess Vivier identified a gap in the beauty industry where bold claims often outweighed reliable performance. Vivier was built to close that gap through formulations rooted in research, stability, and measurable skin improvements.

A Science First Philosophy Designed to Empower Confidence

At the heart of Vivier is a mission centered on empowerment: helping people look and feel their best through thoughtful, results-driven skincare. Rather than following short-lived trends, the brand prioritizes long-term skin health, pairing clinically studied ingredients with pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.

This commitment is reflected in Vivier’s brand promise, The Beauty of Results®, a philosophy that emphasizes formulation integrity, innovation, and consistency without exaggeration. Every product is designed to deliver visible improvements while supporting the skin’s natural structure and function.

The Vitamin C Problem Vivier Set Out to Solve

Vitamin C is one of the most researched ingredients in skincare, valued for its antioxidant properties and role in supporting brighter, smoother-looking skin. However, it is also one of the most unstable. Many Vitamin C serums oxidize quickly, lose effectiveness over time, or rely on harsh formulations that can be difficult to tolerate with daily use.

Jess Vivier set out to solve this challenge. After three years of dedicated research and development, the brand launched its first stabilized Vitamin C serum in 2000. That innovation became the cornerstone of Vivier’s product line and established the brand as a leader in pharmaceutical-grade antioxidant skincare.

C E Peptides: Vivier’s Flagship Antioxidant Serum

C E Peptides is Vivier’s best-selling and award-winning serum, designed for normal to dry skin concerned with visible signs of aging on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. The formula combines 10 percent L-Ascorbic Acid USP, Vitamin E, and three peptides to support brightness, hydration, and smoother-looking skin texture.

What makes this serum distinctive is Vivier’s proprietary IntraDermal System (IDS)®, a delivery technology that makes it possible to use L-Ascorbic Acid USP—an otherwise highly unstable and fast-oxidizing form of Vitamin C—by protecting it from oxidation, enhancing skin penetration, and reducing the potential for irritation. By encapsulating the ingredient in a glycol-based layer, IDS is designed to maintain potency and improve consistency of performance throughout use.

Key Benefits of C E Peptides

  • Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade 10 percent L-Ascorbic Acid USP, the purest and most bioavailable form of Vitamin C
  • Enhanced with Vitamin E and a proprietary peptide blend to support hydration and firmness
  • Designed to improve the appearance of uneven tone, texture, and fine lines
  • Lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly and layers easily with other products
  • Suitable for normal to dry skin types seeking daily antioxidant support

How Vivier Stands Apart from Conventional Vitamin C Serums

  • Pharmaceutical-grade formulation standards designed for consistent potency
