What is in the program
Vivier’s order of application is Medicated Wash, Serum 30, Skin Brightening Cream, Exfoliant Forte in the morning, Retinol 1.0% in the evening, and SHEER SPF 45 in the morning. The brand lists four points: it helps visibly improve dark spots and hyperpigmentation, improves the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin texture, supports brighter, more radiant-looking skin, and takes a hydroquinone-free approach to brightening.
Who it is for
People with pigment concerns who would rather avoid hydroquinone, or who have been advised to. It still contains a 1.0% retinol and an AHA exfoliant, so it is a demanding routine for experienced skincare users.
How to use it
Vivier supplies detailed application steps with the program. Sunscreen every morning is not optional in a pigment routine, and the program includes SHEER SPF 45 for that reason.
How it fits with your treatments at Bar Beauty

Frequently asked questions
What is in the hydroquinone-free program?
Vivier lists Medicated Wash, Serum 30, Skin Brightening Cream, Exfoliant Forte in the morning, Retinol 1.0% in the evening, and SHEER SPF 45 in the morning.
Why choose the non-hydroquinone version?
Some people prefer to avoid hydroquinone, and some have been advised to. Vivier offers both routes with a broadly similar structure, and we will help you decide which fits your skin and your history.
Is it gentler than the 2% HQ program?
It removes hydroquinone, but it still includes Retinol 1.0% and Exfoliant Forte, so it is not a gentle routine. The Daily Glow Program is the milder brightening option.
Do I need sunscreen with it?
Yes, and the program includes SHEER SPF 45 for exactly that reason. Pigment routines fail without daily sun protection.
Can I get it in CityPlace Toronto?
Yes, from Bar Beauty Medical at 46 Fort York Blvd, as an authorized Vivier retailer.
