After months of sunshine, vacations, and outdoor activities, your skin may be showing more than just a healthy glow. Prolonged UV exposure can accelerate aging, trigger oxidative stress, and stimulate excess melanin, often leading to dark spots, uneven tone, dullness, and fine lines as summer fades.
Fall is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine and focus on post-sun damage skin restoration, giving your complexion a chance to recover and renew. To support this seasonal transition, we’re proud to welcome Serum 30—a next-generation hyperpigmentation treatment powered by advanced Vitamin C technology and our proprietary IDS® delivery technology, designed to restore clarity and radiance as you step into autumn. Clinically proven to visibly reduce dark spots and brighten skin in as little as 4 weeks, Serum 30 delivers remarkable results:
70% of users saw brighter skin in 4 weeks
90% noticed reduced discoloration in 12 weeks
70% reported fewer dark spots
Now, let’s break down what happens to your skin after summer sun exposure and show you how to correct it with proven science.
Understanding the Realities of Post-Summer Skin Damage
After months of UV exposure, skin often reveals the hidden impact of oxidative stress. Prolonged sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, inflammation, and visible aging, while also triggering an overproduction of melanin—the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven tone.
The result is a range of pigmentation issues. Common forms of hyperpigmentation include melasma, age spots (solar lentigines), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). These are stubborn concerns because they stem from deep biological processes in our melanocytes. To truly restore the skin and achieve effective dark spots treatment, a consistent and targeted approach is needed—one that addresses both the visible discoloration and the underlying mechanisms driving it.
Introducing Serum 30: Your New Ally Against Hyperpigmentation
Vivier’s Serum 30 is a high-potency, hydroquinone-free brightening serum, specifically formulated for moderate to severe hyperpigmentation. Unlike traditional hydroquinone-based options, Serum 30 provides safe, long-term management without the need to cycle off after 12 weeks.
What sets Serum 30 apart? It’s the only serum to combine a unique 30% Vitamin C blend with Vivier’s proprietary IDS® delivery technology, ensuring superior stability, penetration, and results. If you’re looking for an advanced hyperpigmentation treatment that restores radiance while preventing future discoloration, this serum is designed for you.
The Power of Next-Generation Vitamin C
At the heart of Serum 30 is an innovative combination of two forms of Vitamin C that work synergistically for maximum skin brightening and protection.
20% Et-VC® (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid): This stable, next-generation derivative penetrates efficiently to inhibit melanin production, helping visibly reduce dark spots, melasma, and PIH. It also provides powerful antioxidant protection and anti-inflammatory action, making it ideal for sensitive or post-procedure skin.
10% L-Ascorbic Acid USP: The purest and most bioavailable form of Vitamin C, this ingredient delivers rapid absorption, collagen-boosting benefits, neutralizes free radicals, and immediately enhances radiance for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Together, these active ingredients deliver visible results in tone, texture, and luminosity, making Serum 30 a true powerhouse in post-sun damage skin restoration.
The Innovation of IDS® Delivery Technology
Now, what makes Vivier’s proprietary IntraDermal System (IDS)® so special? Simply put, it encapsulates both forms of Vitamin C in glycol for optimal stability and enhanced skin penetration. This advanced delivery method ensures the serum remains potent while delivering the active ingredients deeper into the skin, where they can provide maximum benefits.
The result? A serum that offers superior dark spots treatment, reduces sunspots, and feels comfortable on all skin types.

How to Use Serum 30 for Optimal Post-Summer Skin Restoration
Serum 30 may be incorporated into an existing skincare routine or used within a more advanced program for enhanced results.
If integrating into your current regimen:
On clean, dry skin, dispense 2–3 drops of Serum 30 evenly over the face, neck, and décolleté.
For the best results in treating hyperpigmentation, Serum 30 should be used as part of the Brighten & Restore Program (Non-HQ).
This comprehensive regimen combines tyrosinase inhibitors, exfoliants, retinol, and SPF, working together to inhibit melanin production, accelerate cell turnover, and help prevent recurrence. By layering these treatments, the program provides the most complete and effective approach to restoring skin after summer sun damage.
