Marie Veronique All Day Age-Delay Emulsion

Marie Veronique has been our most popular brand for years, but they've never made a creamy daytime moisturizer. Their moisturizers have always been facial oils - beautiful, effective oils - which as many of you know I'm a huge fan of. But for those of you who still don't love oils for moisturizing then this is for you - the texture is actually not a cream or a lotion (and not an oil)...it's an emulsion, so kind of like a soft pillowy gel.

It's amazing. 🤍

All Day Age-Delay Emulsion is Marie Veronique's first ever creamy daytime moisturizer. And honestly? It was worth the wait.

This isn't just "another moisturizer with nice ingredients." Marie Veronique built this formula using the latest longevity research - specifically the science around the Twelve Hallmarks of Aging (the actual biological processes that cause skin to age). Instead of slapping "anti-aging" on a label and calling it a day, they went after the why behind wrinkles, sagging, dark spots, and loss of firmness, and created something that works at every layer of your skin to slow it all down.

No redness. No irritation. No purge phase.

What's actually in it?

I'll spare you the textbook version. Here's what matters:

• Bakuchiol - You might have heard of this one. It's a plant-based alternative to retinoids that supports collagen and elastin production, fights oxidative damage, and helps with hyperpigmentation. But here's the part most people don't know: its antioxidant effects are twice as strong as vitamin E. And it does all of this without the irritation that makes traditional retinoids a dealbreaker for so many women.
• Carnosine - This one goes after glycation (when sugar binds to proteins like collagen and elastin and basically stiffens them up over time). It also addresses cellular senescence - which is a fancy way of saying it helps with cells that have stopped doing their job. Think of it as a wake-up call for lazy cells.
• Spirulina Maxima - Targets genomic instability, which is the #1 hallmark of aging. It protects against blue light damage and helps repair cell damage that keeps happening even after sun exposure. (Yes, your skin is still dealing with yesterday's sun damage today. Spirulina helps stop that cycle.)
• Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) - A stable form that brightens, boosts collagen, and fights oxidative stress. The fact that it's paired with bakuchiol is strategic - together they deliver more collagen production than either one alone.
• Postbiotics - Supports your skin barrier and microbiome. Because all the fancy actives in the world won't help if your barrier is compromised.

Why this matters if you already use the MV Multi-Retinol

If you're already using Marie Veronique's Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion (our other bestseller), this is its perfect daytime partner. Here's the beauty of pairing them:

• Retinol at night repairs and rebuilds while you sleep.
• Bakuchiol during the day gives you retinoid-like benefits without the sun sensitivity issues.
• Together, your skin gets 24-hour age-delay support. And because bakuchiol and retinol work through complementary pathways, your skin self-regulates what it needs - so there's no irritation, no overload, just your cells returning to how they functioned when they were younger.

And if retinol isn't part of your routine?

Not everyone uses retinol - whether it's a personal preference, a life stage like pregnancy or breastfeeding, or simply that it's never been part of your regimen. Whatever the reason, All Day Age-Delay Emulsion gives you serious, science-backed age-delay results entirely on its own. You can even use it morning and/or at night as a standalone powerhouse if retinol just isn't your thing.

Who is this for?

Just about everyone.

• Normal, dry, combination, or sensitive skin
• Women who want real anti-aging support without irritation
• Anyone who loves MV but has always wished for a cream instead of an oil
• Retinol users who want a smart daytime complement
• Women who can't use retinol but don't want to miss out on age-delay benefits
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women

The bottom line

I don't write a blog post for every new product. But this one deserved it.

Marie Veronique has been quietly revolutionizing clean skincare for years, and this formula feels like everything they've learned, put into one product. It's the kind of product thing where you use it for three weeks and realize your skin just looks better, smoother, brighter. And it does it without fragrance, without essential oils, without microbiome-disrupting preservatives, and without making your skin pay a price for the results.

If you're curious, we have trial sizes available so you can test before committing. And if you're not sure where this fits into your current routine - especially if you're already using MV products - just reach out. It's my favourite thing to help with.
