About the Brand
Brand logo
Vie de Mer was founded in Paris from the belief that skincare should unite purity with proven performance. Frustrated by mass formulas that sacrificed potency, the founders built a small-batch laboratory dedicated to cold-press technology. By preserving the full strength of marine and botanical actives, they created artisanal French skincare that adapts to the skin’s evolving needs.

This is skincare you can feel working from the first use. Potent cold-pressed actives visibly plump, smooth wrinkles, and brighten, while every ingredient serves a clear purpose. Crafted in small batches, the formulas balance elegance with efficacy, delivering French precision and results that bring lasting transformation to daily routines.

At the core of every formula is cold-press technology, a method that avoids heat to preserve the molecular integrity of antioxidants, peptides, and enzymes. Where traditional processing breaks actives down, this approach keeps them stable and potent. Marine and botanical extracts remain at full strength, delivering higher absorption, stronger repair, and better tolerance backed by clinical results.

Brightening

Brightening your skin means restoring its natural glow. One of the best ways to do this is through exfoliation. By exfoliating, you promote faster skin cell turnover, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, radiant ones. This keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Complexion-Unifying (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Firming

Skin firming focuses on boosting your skin's elasticity and tightness to reduce sagging and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking firmer. This is done by stimulating fibroblasts to produce more elastin, the protein that helps your skin stretch and bounce back. To keep your skin firm longer, antioxidants protect these elastin fibres from free radical damage, which can cause early breakdown. This combined action helps maintain a youthful, resilient complexion.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract

Known as a natural alternative to injectable wrinkle treatments, Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract offers fast-acting firming and smoothing benefits. Rich in alkylamides, it works by reorganising and tightening the dermal structure, visibly reducing wrinkle depth and enhancing skin firmness. This botanical active targets the skin's mechanical tension, softening expression lines without compromising natural facial movement. Ideal for those seeking a plant-based, non-invasive approach to visible ageing, it supports a lifted, plumper looking complexion.

Vitamin C Peptide Complex

A brightening and rejuvenating blend, the Vitamin C Peptide Complex combines various types of Vitamin C to deliver powerful antioxidant protection and targeted skin renewal. This complex works to even skin tone, improve texture, and stimulate collagen production, visibly plump the skin and reduces hyperpigmentation. Rich in fruit-derived actives and peptides, it enhances cellular turnover while supporting a firmer, plumper, and more luminous complexion.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW-HA) is a smaller, more penetrative form of hyaluronic acid. Unlike high molecular weight forms that primarily hydrate the skin’s surface, LMW-HA has the ability to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, where it attracts and binds water to maintain optimal moisture levels from within. This deep hydration helps improve skin elasticity, firmness, and smoothness, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and dehydration-induced wrinkles. Additionally, LMW-HA supports skin barrier repair and enhances overall suppleness, making the complexion look plumper and more resilient. It is ideal for dehydrated, dull, or mature skin, and especially those in need of long-lasting hydration and improved texture.

Spotlight

Vitamin C Peptide Complex

An advanced synergy of stabilised vitamin C, bioactive fruit extracts, and skin-repairing peptides, the Vitamin C Peptide Complex is formulated to address multiple signs of ageing and photodamage. At its core is ascorbic acid, the most bioavailable form of vitamin C, renowned for its ability to neutralise free radicals, stimulate collagen synthesis, and inhibit tyrosinase activity, which helps fade hyperpigmentation and promote a more even, radiant complexion.

Complementing this are botanical extracts from Citrus limon (lemon), Citrus aurantifolia (lime), and Citrus sinensis (orange), which are rich in natural flavonoids, fruit acids, and enzymes that support gentle exfoliation, cellular renewal, and antioxidant protection. These extracts also provide a natural source of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), improving skin texture and luminosity by accelerating the removal of dull, surface cells.

The inclusion of peptides enhances this complex’s performance by encouraging fibroblast activity, supporting skin density, and reinforcing the extracellular matrix. Peptides act as messengers, prompting the skin to repair and regenerate itself, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin elasticity over time.

Together, these ingredients form a multi-functional complex that addresses both oxidative stress and structural ageing, making it ideal for dull, uneven, or mature skin. With consistent use, the Vitamin C Peptide Complex helps restore clarity, firmness, and a visible glow.

Why I love it

  • I love how Vie de Mer packs each formula with potent, cold-pressed actives to plump, smooth wrinkles, and brighten. Every ingredient has a purpose, and you can feel the results.
