I had the pleasure of sampling Marie Veronique for quite some time now and I have to tell you the line is amazing! Â A lot of people assume I write about everything I receive, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Â The goal for me is to always find products that are not only safe, but perform and wow me. Â Well, Marie Veronique has done just that.
Why is their skincare line so different? Â For starters they rely heavily on research to determine what is best for your skin and what ingredients actually work. Â They really address each skin issue on it’s own. Â Their website alone is a wealth of info. from the ingredients they use to the ones they don’t. Â Plus, they have a great blog resource on skincare. Â They’ve done the leg work for you. Â They’re just great skincare that’s here to stay.
So what did I try? Â I can hardly keep it in anymore! Â Their products speak for themselves.
Replenishing Oil Cleanser-
I have to start the review with their cleanser…because it’s my favorite!! Â As in my favorite cleanser ever? Â Quite possibly. Â You all know I’m crazy for oil cleansers. Â This one is in a league of it’s own. Â It is an oil but more of a creamy oil. Â It comes in a glass pump bottle which makes me love it even more. Â I always shake it up before I use it to make sure the product is evenly distributed. Â I get my skin slightly damp and then squeeze out a small amount and massage into my skin. Â The best part? Â It removes not only my face makeup but also my eye makeup-with no stinging! Â Yes, a miracle cleanser is what I call it. Â After I massage it all in, I then take a warm wash cloth and wipe off. Â My skin has never been better…seriously! Â It doesn’t dry out my skin at all but helps keep it so balanced. Â I’m obsessed with this cleanser and I want everyone to know! Â It’s rare as a green beauty blogger that I actually finish a product, but this one…it’s almost gone. Â I’m scraping what I can to get it all out. Â You all need this…end of story. Â $40
Vitamin C+E+Ferulic Serum-
Since I’m pregnant I’m picky about what I use on my skin, retinol being an ingredient I steer clear of. Â However, it doesn’t mean I don’t my skincare to suffer. Â Thankfully, this serum has vitamin c which helps to build collagen-bye, bye wrinkles. Â Plus, it offers some sun and antioxidant protection for day. Â I love how light this serum is. Â It doesn’t take long to soak in. Â I use it before my moisturizer in the morning. Â My skin is protected even when I’m pregnant! Â $90
Protective Day Oil-
This is the perfect oil to apply after the Vitamin C+E+Ferulic Serum. Â It is a great sun protectant for day due to it’s high carotenoid content. Â Marie Veronique describes this product so well,
“Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a special type of omega-3, prevents wrinkles by blocking UV- induced enzymes that destroy collagen.”
Sign me up! Â Did I mention it isn’t greasy at all? Â Well, it’s not. Â It sinks right into the skin and gives the perfect canvas for makeup. Â $65
Redness Relief Serum-
I was really intrigued to try their Redness Relief. Â I haven’t quite come across a product quite like it. Â Since I can remember I’ve had broken capillaries on my face-basically redness in some areas. Â I also seem to always have some redness around my nose. Â Now I’m not talking rosacea but redness that I notice. Â Anyways, this redness relief is a slightly milky like serum. Â I would apply it at night, although you can apply it in the am as well. Â What did I notice? Â I noticed a more even complexion. Â All my redness wasn’t gone but it was magically a lot less pronounced. Â My skin felt calmer. Â I also used this on the occasional breakout and noticed it definitely calmed redness around the zit. Â $80
Everyday Coverage Tinted Sunscreen SPF 30-
Last but certainly not least is this tinted sunscreen that I’m also loving. Â I received it in Light Tint. Â It is a SPF 30 full spectrum UVA+UVB, non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen. Â I love that it has a tint to it-no white residue! Â It goes on a like a day time moisturizer and isn’t heavy at all. Â It sinks right into my skin. Â The perfect base pre-foundation, or on it’s own before heading to the beach. Â Even my hubs likes it! Â It’s also rated #1 in EWG 2014/2015 Sunscreen Guide. Â $48

Sounds like a nice line, Suzi! Thanks for mentioning the retinol piece. A lot of “natural” brands use this in their skincare and I just don’t understand why. Hope you are feeling well.
Thanks Margot! I know, it’s concerning it’s not brought up more. I appreciate True Botanicals recent awareness on it and hope more companies get on board.
