How did we rank them?
SkinCrew carries eight Vivier serums. We ranked them by how many shoppers each one suits, how clearly it does its job, and what you pay for it. A serum that is right for most people ranks above a specialist, even an excellent one. We have not ranked by ratings or sales figures.
Seven of the eight are vitamin C serums, so the ranking is really a guide to picking the right supporting ingredients.
The 8 best Vivier serums, ranked
C E Peptides
Who it is for: Normal to dry skin that wants one serum for fine lines, glow and softness. The bestseller, and the serum that shows what Vivier does best. Pharmaceutical-grade L-ascorbic acid at 10% is paired with vitamin E and three proprietary peptides to protect, correct, brighten and nourish. It is lightweight and fast-absorbing, and Vivier lists it as suitable for skin recovering after aesthetic procedures.
Shop nowSerum 30
Who it is for: Skin with pronounced, long-standing discoloration and uneven tone. The highest vitamin C level in the range. Serum 30 combines 20% Et-VC (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) with 10% L-ascorbic acid in a lightweight, water-like serum, and it is hydroquinone-free. Vivier notes it may turn light yellow over time, which is expected. Wear sunscreen daily so visible discoloration does not return.
Shop nowKine-C
Who it is for: Normal, combination and oily skin that wants a light finish. The same 10% vitamin C as C E Peptides in a shorter, oil-free formula with two proprietary peptides. Vivier describes it as reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles while optimizing hydration.
Shop nowSerum 10
Who it is for: First-time serum users, sensitive skin, and anyone at the first signs of aging. The simplest and lowest priced Vivier vitamin C serum, and the one the brand recommends for first-time users. Oil-free and lightweight, with Vivier’s IntraDermal System delivery. A sensible way to find out how your skin responds to L-ascorbic acid before moving up.
Shop nowRadiance Serum
Who it is for: Skin with early sun spots or a blotchy look that also wants antioxidant care. A tone-first serum that puts arbutin and resorcinol alongside 8% vitamin C. Choose it over Serum 30 when discoloration is mild to moderate, and over C E Peptides when tone matters more to you than lines.
Shop nowUltimage
Who it is for: Dehydrated or mature skin with expression lines; anyone who wants a second serum. The only serum here without vitamin C. Ultimage combines a neuropeptide (acetyl hexapeptide-8) with hyaluronic acid and other water-binding molecules to soften the look of expression lines and boost hydration. It comes in a pump, 1 to 2 pumps once or twice daily, and layers after a vitamin C serum.
Shop nowQuintiSerum
Who it is for: Normal and dry skin with deeper lines and loss of firmness. The step up from C E Peptides: more vitamin C and five exclusive peptides instead of three. Vivier positions it for advanced signs of aging, to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while hydrating and firming.
Shop nowGrenzCine Serum
Who it is for: Mature skin with deeper wrinkles and volume loss, when budget allows. The flagship. GrenzCine Serum pairs Vivier’s Polyamine-DAB with 10% vitamin C for skin that looks thin and less firm, and the brand describes improved firmness, hydration, luminosity, tone and elasticity. It is the highest priced serum in the range, which is why it ranks for a specific person, not for everyone.
Shop nowHow do you choose between them?
Start with your skin type
Drier skin tends to prefer C E Peptides or QuintiSerum, which include vitamin E. Combination and oily skin usually prefers the oil-free Kine-C. Sensitive skin and beginners should start with Serum 10.
Then your main concern
For fine lines and glow, a 10% serum with peptides is the everyday answer. For visible discoloration, pick Radiance Serum when it is mild to moderate and Serum 30 when it is stubborn. For skin that looks thinner and less firm, GrenzCine Serum is the targeted choice. The three most confused serums are compared in detail in C E Peptides vs Kine-C vs Radiance Serum.
Then your budget
Price order, lowest to highest: Serum 10 $112, Ultimage $164, Radiance Serum $170, Kine-C $190, Serum 30 $200, C E Peptides $204, QuintiSerum $276, GrenzCine Serum $348. Every serum is 30 mL, so the prices compare directly. All of them clear the $99 free US shipping threshold on their own.
What should you pair with a Vivier serum?
A serum works inside a routine. In the morning, follow your vitamin C with a moisturizer such as Daily Age-Defying Moisturizer and a sunscreen such as SHEER SPF 30 Mineral Tinted or SHEER SPF 45. At night, Vivier directs you to apply serum first, then retinol: Retinol 0.3% is the starting strength. Step-by-step versions by skin type are in How to Build a Vivier Routine.
If you would rather buy a complete set, the Essential Anti-Aging Program includes C E Peptides and the Advanced Anti-Aging Program includes QuintiSerum, each with a cleanser, toner, eye cream, retinol, moisturizer and sunscreen.
Where should you buy Vivier serums?
Vivier is a professional skincare brand, sold through skincare clinics and authorized retailers. Its vitamin C serums are built on L-ascorbic acid, an ingredient that loses strength with age, heat and air, so a bottle from an unknown seller may be old, badly stored or not genuine, and it comes with no retailer guarantee.
SkinCrew is an Authorized Vivier US Retailer. Every product is sourced direct through official Vivier channels, batch-fresh, and backed by our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee, with free US shipping on orders of $99 or more. Shop the full range on the Vivier brand page.

Ask the SkinCrew Clinical TeamWhat else do people ask about Vivier serums?
What is the best Vivier serum?
C E Peptides for most people. It combines 10% pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C with vitamin E and three peptides, and it is the Vivier bestseller. Kine-C is the better fit for combination and oily skin.
Which Vivier serum is best for dark spots?
Serum 30 for stubborn discoloration: it contains 30% vitamin C and is hydroquinone-free. Radiance Serum, with 8% vitamin C, arbutin and resorcinol, is the choice for mild to moderate uneven tone.
Which Vivier serum is best for wrinkles?
For everyday fine lines, C E Peptides or Kine-C. For advanced signs of aging, QuintiSerum with 15% vitamin C and five peptides. For thin, mature skin with deeper wrinkles, GrenzCine Serum. Ultimage targets the look of expression lines with a neuropeptide and hyaluronic acid.
Is Vivier Serum 30 too strong for sensitive skin?
Serum 30 is the highest vitamin C level in the range. If your skin is sensitive or new to vitamin C, start with Serum 10, which Vivier describes as ideal for sensitive skin, and move up once your skin is comfortable.
Is Vivier GrenzCine Serum worth it?
It is the most specialized and highest priced serum at $348. It makes sense when the concern is skin that looks thin and less firm with deeper wrinkles. For general brightening and fine lines, C E Peptides at $204 covers most needs.
