What Is Vivier Skincare?
Vivier is a Canadian medical-grade skincare brand founded in Montreal in 1990. Vivier products are formulated by pharmacists and developed for sale exclusively through medical professionals and authorized retailers. Every Vivier product contains USP-grade pharmaceutical ingredients, and the brand is best known for stabilized vitamin C serums, prescription-strength retinol, and the patented IDS (Intensive Skin) delivery system. To learn more about what makes Vivier unique, see our guide on understanding the benefits of Vivier products.
Vivier is not a mass-market brand. You will not find it at Shoppers Drug Mart, Sephora, or Amazon Canada — and any listing on those platforms is unauthorized and may be counterfeit, expired, or improperly stored.
Why Is Vivier Only Sold Through Authorized Retailers?
Vivier restricts distribution to maintain product integrity, ensure professional guidance, and protect against counterfeits. Medical-grade skincare products like Vivier's 10% vitamin C serum and prescription-strength retinol require proper handling, storage, and customer education. Authorized retailers — including licensed online sellers like Skin Boutique Online — are required to store products correctly, sell only fresh stock, and provide accurate usage guidance.
Buying from unauthorized sellers exposes you to three risks: counterfeit formulas, expired or heat-damaged stock, and zero recourse if the product doesn't work as intended. This is especially important for sunscreens, where ingredient stability directly affects SPF performance — read our guide on where to find authorized sellers of clinical sunscreens in Canada for more on why authorization matters.

Does Vivier Ship to the United States?
Yes. Skin Boutique Online ships authentic Vivier products to the United States at standard shipping rates. US customers receive the same Canadian-formulated Vivier products sold in Canadian clinics, with full authenticity guarantees. Free shipping promotions apply only to Canadian orders over $99 CAD.
How Do I Know If My Vivier Product Is Authentic?
Authentic Vivier products will always have:
- A lot number and expiration date printed clearly on the packaging
- The Vivier logo with consistent branding (no spelling variations)
- Proper batch sealing — vitamin C serums in dark amber glass with airless pumps
- A purchase record from an authorized retailer (clinic, authorized online seller, or Vivier directly)
If you bought Vivier from Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or a "deal" site at a significantly reduced price, there is a high probability the product is counterfeit, diverted, or expired. Vivier does not authorize discount resellers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vivier sold at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada?
No. Vivier is not sold at Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Rexall, or any Canadian drugstore chain. It is only available through authorized online retailers, medical clinics, and Vivier's official website.
Can I buy Vivier on Amazon Canada?
Listings exist, but Vivier does not authorize sales through Amazon. Products sold there may be counterfeit, expired, or improperly stored. Buy from an authorized Canadian reseller instead.
Is Vivier worth the price?
Vivier uses pharmaceutical-grade ingredients at clinical concentrations — typically 5–10x higher active ingredient concentrations than drugstore brands. For users wanting visible results from vitamin C, retinol, or anti-aging serums, the cost-per-use is comparable to drugstore alternatives because less product is needed per application.
How long does Vivier take to ship in Canada?
Skin Boutique Online ships Vivier orders within 1 business day. Standard Canadian shipping arrives in 2–5 business days. Orders over $99 CAD ship free across Canada.
Does Vivier offer a money-back guarantee?

Can I use Vivier if I have sensitive skin?
Vivier offers a Sensitive Skin Starter Kit specifically formulated for reactive skin. Start with Vivier Derma-V or the Sensitive Skin Program before introducing active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C.
Where is Vivier manufactured?
Vivier products are formulated and manufactured in Canada under Health Canada-regulated standards.
Is Vivier pregnancy-safe?
Some Vivier products are pregnancy-safe (cleansers, moisturizers, mineral sunscreens like Vivier Sheer SPF 30 Mineral Tinted). Retinol-based products and high-concentration vitamin C are not recommended during pregnancy. For brightening alternatives that are safer during pregnancy, see our guide on pregnancy-safe brightening options without hydroquinone. Always consult your healthcare provider for product-specific guidance.
Which Vivier sunscreen is best for daily use?
