Not recommended for sensitive skin. I had an allergic reaction of burning, red blotches and swelling. It spills out of the tube as you open as well and feels sticky on the skin. Positives: probably great for certain skin types and fragrance free

Hydrating, Soothing, and Perfect for Everyday Use
I’ve been using the VIOLETTE_FR C’EST LA CREAM moisturizer for a few weeks now, and honestly, it surprised me in the best way. My skin tends to get dehydrated really easily, especially around my cheeks and nose, but this cream made a noticeable difference after just a few uses. It has a rich texture that feels nourishing without being overly heavy or greasy, which is something I usually struggle with when trying thicker moisturizers.
One of my favorite things about it is how soft and smooth my skin feels afterward. It gives this healthy, natural glow that looks fresh instead of oily. I also noticed my makeup sits way better on top of it because it smooths out dry patches and uneven texture really well. The hydration lasts throughout the day too, so I don’t feel the need to constantly reapply products or layer extra oils on top.
The formula feels very calming on the skin. Whenever my face feels irritated from weather changes or overusing active ingredients, this helps restore that comfortable, balanced feeling overnight. I also appreciate that it includes vitamin C because my complexion has looked brighter and more even lately.
Another thing worth mentioning is the quality of the ingredients. The mix of marshmallow root, squalane, jojoba oil, and beet sugars makes it feel like skincare that’s actually supporting the skin barrier instead of just sitting on the surface. Even though it’s deeply moisturizing, it never clogged my pores or caused breakouts.
Overall, this feels like one of those products that quietly improves your skin over time. It’s reliable, comforting, and genuinely makes my skin look healthier and more supple. Definitely a moisturizer I can see myself repurchasing.

Great for the body
I love this as a body lotion. The feel is super silky and it absorbs quickly. I also like that it doesn’t really have a fragrance so it doesn’t clash with my perfume. It moisturizes well. I left off a star for pricing vs ingredients. It isn’t really advanced in any way to warrant the price tag. Even if I used it as a facial moisturizer, it isn’t anti aging enough. Really just a nice moisturizer.

Great product for combination skin
I have combination skin that’s easily thrown off balance, and Violette_FR's C’EST LA CREAM has become one of the few moisturizers that works well for me. The texture feels more towards being rich at first, but it melts in without feeling heavy or greasy at all. My drier areas feel instantly hydrated, while my skin overall looks smoother and more even. I love how the Vitamin C gives a subtle glow without irritation. It layers really well under makeup and doesn’t pill, even on long days and using it during cold weather like now. Most importantly, it leaves my skin feeling protected and calm and doesn't feel heavy even with two layers of the product on my skin. The product definitely feels luxurious when used, and my skin consistently looks healthier when I use it. Also the product doesn't have a fragrance, so that may be a plus for people who are sensitive to scents.

Nice product, terrible tube design
I really like the product - I have combination skin and it is hydrating without being greasy or heavy.
However I DESPISE the packaging. It’s a thin cream and you have to unscrew the cap each time, and the hole is much too large. I feel like I’m constantly getting way too much product resulting in a lot of waste.

I really like this face moisturizer. It a smooth velvet-feel when i put it on but also feels weightless. My skin is always glowing after application. It does not feel greasy or heavy, so it's great for everyday wear.

This cream is actually quite nice. It is very hydrating, leaving a nice subtle healthy skin like glow, without being greasy or leaving a weird film. The cream was on the watery side which allowed you to spread a thin layer or build up for extra hydration which also allowed for quick and easy absorption of the cream into your skin. It has a very subtle, almost floral? scent to it that I think even sensitive people wouldn’t mind. I would say the only downside is that it isn’t very temperature stable. Mine separated and left a 2 layer mix in the tube. The cream part separated from the liquid components. now when trying to use the cream only water like sticky ish liquid comes out and the actual white cream part is stuck inside the bottle ina weird way. So do not put the cream enear any heat sources nor cold drafts.

This is not only a new product, but a new brand for me, I've never heard of Violette_FR, but after using this moisturizer I'll definitely be trying more from them!
To start off, I love the texture! It's thick, rich, silky, and luxurious - it feels so nice and nourishing on the skin. Even though it's thick, it can be used day or night, plus, it doubles as a treatment mask, eye cream, and can be used on the body as well! It's super comfortable and isn't heavy or greasy feeling at all. It applies easily and smoothy on the skin and absorbs well and fairly quickly.
I really enjoy the packaging as well. It's clean, simple, sleek, and easy to use - but still aestheticly pleasing and looks like a high end product. Plus the squeeze tube makes it easy to travel with as well as easy to dispense the product.
$68 is a lot of money for one product, but it's on par for a high end cream. Plus, 3.14oz is a good amount of product and I think the bottle will last quite awhile.
It's formulated with ingredients that are close to what the body already produces to help maximize effectiveness! Some of my favorite ingredients featured are vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. It supports the skin barrier while deeply hydrating, defending against water loss, and shielding against environmental aggressors! It also improves tone, texture, firmness, elasticity, and fights sign of aging.
Healthy and hydrated looking and feeling skin, with a gorgeous lit from within glow!
