Our Promise

If the Gold & Caviar Cream isn’t the finishing cream your ritual has been waiting for, write to us within 30 days and we refund it in full — opened or unopened, with nothing to send back.

The Gold & Caviar Cream is formulated in Switzerland to a Swiss manufacturing standard — the same standard expected of the most respected Swiss skincare houses.

Switzerland is consistently ranked top three globally for skincare provenance, and the Aurea Caviar Reserve™ architecture reflects that standard.

Caviar Extract from sustainably farmed Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) under EU aquaculture, fully CITES Appendix II compliant. PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis — derived from a rare Burgundy red-flesh grape (Gamay Teinturier Fréaux). Tripeptide-5 (Syn®-Coll) from our Swiss ingredient suppliers. Leontopodium alpinum flower/leaf extract — true alpine edelweiss.

Every active in the formula was selected for what it contributes to the look of the skin at this final, sealing step of the ritual — not as marketing language, but as measurable benefit.

The Gold & Caviar Cream is backed by our 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If it doesn’t visibly transform your skin within 30 days, write to us and we refund it in full — opened or unopened, with nothing to send back.

After cleansing and toning, apply Elixir Gold & Caviar Serum and allow 60 seconds to absorb. Warm a pearl-sized amount of cream between fingertips, then press upward across face, neck, and décolleté. Morning and evening. By day, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF as the outermost layer. Avoid the immediate eye area.

SÉRÈNE Suisse Elixir Gold & Caviar Cream — the final gesture of the ritual
The Final Gesture

The most luxurious step in any ritual is the last one.

Most people treat a cream as the moisturiser. In the Gold & Caviar Ritual, the cream is something more precise: the gesture that seals the serum’s concentrated actives onto the skin before they evaporate, that delivers the sensorial closure no serum is engineered for, and that adds the Burgundy grape resilience layer the serum does not contain. The serum is the actives. The cream is the architecture.

The serum absorbs deeply within sixty seconds. The cream is applied immediately after — sealing the serum’s Tripeptide-5 and gold-peptide complex onto the skin’s surface while the cream’s own caviar lipids and Solar Vitis grape stem cell extract work at the barrier layer. Two layers. One ritual. One result.

SÉRÈNE Suisse Lead Formulator
Formulated In Switzerland

Four years of laboratory work precede every jar of the Gold & Caviar Cream.

The SÉRÈNE Suisse laboratory sits in the Swiss canton where the world’s most respected skincare houses formulate — the same regulatory environment, the same cellular research tradition, the same exacting standards. Every active in the Aurea Caviar Reserve™ architecture was selected over a multi-year development cycle for one criterion: measurable benefit at the final, sealing step of the ritual.

Our partnerships with Switzerland’s established active-ingredient houses ensure that the Burgundy grape stem cell extract and the Tripeptide-5 in this formula are authenticated to supplier specification — not generic substitutes. That is the difference between an off-the-shelf cream and one formulated in Switzerland.

Why Most Creams Fail Mature Skin

Three forces work against mature skin at the sealing step.
The Gold & Caviar Cream is the answer to all three.

Chronological Firmness Decline

Endogenous collagen architecture thins with time, and the skin gradually loses the structural support that creates the look of firmness. Tripeptide-5 (Syn®-Coll) helps support the look of firmer, plumper skin.

Surface Lipid Depletion

Mature skin produces less of the lipids and conditioning agents that keep the surface supple, even, and luminous. Standard moisturisers add water; few replenish the lipid layer. Sustainably farmed Siberian sturgeon caviar extract delivers omega-3 phospholipids, DHA, and amino acids traditionally associated with conditioning the appearance of mature skin.

Cumulative Environmental Stress

Daily UV, blue light, and pollution stress accumulate at the surface. PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis from a rare red-flesh Burgundy grape (Gamay Teinturier Fréaux) helps skin look more vital after daily sun exposure.

The Proprietary Complex

Aurea Caviar Reserve™

Powered by Aurea Caviar Reserve™ — a proprietary Swiss architecture of cosmetic-grade gold-peptide carrier, sustainably farmed Siberian caviar extract, Tripeptide-5 (Syn®-Coll), and Burgundy grape stem cell extract (PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis) — backed by four years of Swiss laboratory development.

Caviar Extract

rich in omega fatty acids and amino acids that deeply nourish and condition mature skin.

Gold with Acetyl Heptapeptide-9

a gold peptide duo that supports the look of firm, luminous, vital skin.

Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate

silicon bound hyaluronate for deep, lasting hydration and a visibly plumper look.

PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis (Vitis Vinifera Fruit Cell Extract)

grape stem cells that help skin look vital and resilient through daily sun exposure.

Hydrolyzed Collagen and Milk Protein

condition, soften, and support the look of skin elasticity.

Syn®-Coll (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5)

a Swiss peptide that supports the skin's own natural collagen.

Organic Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract)

alpine antioxidant that helps defend skin from environmental stress.

Artemisia Genepi Flower Extract

calms and comforts the look of reactive skin.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)

protects against free radicals and supports the skin barrier.

What this cream doesn’t do.

No pilling under SPF

Layers cleanly under SPF and makeup.

Gold-flecked creams often pill or roll under sunscreen — the foam-on-cream effect that ruins makeup. The Aurea Caviar Reserve™ architecture is calibrated to absorb completely within sixty seconds, so SPF and makeup layer cleanly on top with no rolling, no flaking, no clumping.

Gold sheen, never streak

Gold flecks dissolve into a satin finish.

The cosmetic-grade gold in this cream isn’t an after-effect glitter — it’s a thermo-active sheen that liquefies into the formula on contact with skin warmth, leaving a satin, light-catching finish without metallic streaks or shimmer residue. The look of luminosity, not the look of a highlight stick.

No micro-glitter · No mica overload · Settles within 60 seconds
Application

The ritual
sealed.

The cream is applied immediately after the serum — not as an afterthought, but as a precision sealing step. The sixty-second window between serum and cream is when the cream layers exactly over the serum’s actives. Technique matters: press rather than rub, upward rather than down.

01

Apply Serum First — Wait Sixty Seconds

The cream layers after the serum. The sixty-second window is non-negotiable — it’s when the serum’s actives have absorbed and the skin’s surface is ready to receive the cream’s sealing layer.

02

Warm a Pearl-Sized Amount Between Fingertips

Take a pearl-sized amount and press between fingertips for five to eight seconds. Body warmth liquefies the lipid complex and improves spreadability across the face, neck, and décolleté.

03

Press Onto the Apples of the Cheeks First

Begin at the highest points where the look of firmness shows first. Press, don’t rub. The pressing motion seals the cream onto the serum layer beneath without disrupting it.

04

Sweep Outward and Upward

From cheek apex to ear, then jawline upward to ear. Repeat three times. Upward motion supports natural lymphatic flow and minimises the micro-friction on mature skin that downward rubbing can cause.

05

Allow Sixty Seconds — Then SPF (AM) or Sleep (PM)

The cream needs sixty seconds to fully absorb before your SPF layers on top. By night, allow sixty seconds before your face touches the pillow — preserving the actives overnight rather than depositing them on linen.

“In Phoenix the AC and the desert sun take a toll on every cream I have tried. This one holds. Six weeks in and my skin looks better at the end of the day than it did fresh out of the shower. The gold is not a gimmick — there is something different about how this one sits.”

“The texture is unlike anything I have used — rich but it disappears completely. My dermatologist asked what I had changed at my last appointment before I even mentioned it. The firmness around my jaw at six weeks is real.”

“Paired with the Gold & Caviar Serum the results have been remarkable. The fine lines on my forehead have softened and my skin holds a glow I haven’t seen in years. I understand now why the cream is part of the ritual, not just an add-on.”

“I came from another caviar cream priced at nearly twice this. After three months side by side, I cancelled my standing order with them. SÉRÈNE actually tells me what is in the formula and what the suppliers are. The cream itself is on par with — possibly better than — what I was using.”

“My skin had become reactive after six months on tretinoin. This was the first cream that didn’t sting on application and didn’t compromise the actives I was on. Six weeks later, the laxity around my mouth is visibly less. I read every ingredient list before I buy now and this one passes the test.”

“After my last brown-spot laser, my dermatologist told me to focus on barrier-supporting creams that could double as overnight repair. This was on her recommendation list. The first morning after using it, my husband noticed.”

Frequently Asked

Everything you might wonder
about the final step.

The Gold & Caviar Cream is Step 04 of the five-step Gold & Caviar Ritual: Aurora Cleanser, Glacial Toner, Elixir Gold & Caviar Serum, this cream, and a broad-spectrum SPF (mornings only). Apply immediately after the serum has absorbed for sixty seconds. Morning and evening, twice daily.

You can also use the cream on its own as a luxury moisturiser without the rest of the ritual — though the architecture is designed so the serum and the cream are most effective layered in sequence.

Yes — this is a critical part of the formulation brief. Many gold-flecked creams pill or roll under sunscreen and foundation. The Aurea Caviar Reserve™ architecture is calibrated to absorb completely within sixty seconds, so SPF and makeup layer cleanly on top with no rolling, no flaking, no clumping.

Yes. The cream is formulated without alcohol or aggressive surfactants. The Artemisia genepi and Leontopodium alpinum complex helps calm the look of skin reactivity.

If you have a clinically diagnosed condition or have just undergone a clinical procedure, always defer to your dermatologist’s specific guidance before introducing any new product.

Yes — this is exactly how the cream is designed to be used. By morning, layer your SPF over the cream once it has absorbed.

Yes. Cleansing and active serums compound the stress on mature skin; the cream’s caviar lipids and Vitamin E network help support the appearance of skin that has been pushed by tretinoin, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or vitamin C.

Two differences customers cite when they switch: (1) SÉRÈNE discloses every active and the ingredient research behind it. (2) SÉRÈNE is priced at the architecture, not at the label.

Both this cream and the category benchmark use sustainably farmed Acipenser baerii caviar extract. The SÉRÈNE formulation adds PhytoCellTec™ Solar Vitis Burgundy grape stem cell extract and the Tripeptide-5 (Syn®-Coll) collagen-reserve architecture.

Yes. The gold used in this formulation is cosmetic-grade, used at concentrations consistent with luxury Swiss formulation practice, and reviewed against current EU SCCS guidance. The gold is paired with a heptapeptide carrier (Acetyl Heptapeptide-9) to support the look of luminous, vital skin — not as an isolated metal exposure.

Customers with known metal sensitivities should patch-test before regular use, as with any new skincare product.

No animal testing. The Gold & Caviar Cream is not tested on animals at any stage of development or production, and is not sold in markets that mandate animal testing.

Vegan: no. The cream contains caviar extract derived from sustainably farmed Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) under EU aquaculture, CITES Appendix II compliant. It is pescatarian-compatible but not suitable for those following a strictly vegan or plant-only skincare protocol.

The cream contains caviar extract derived from sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) and is therefore not recommended for individuals with known fish-protein allergies. The Acipenser baerii caviar is fully disclosed on the carton.

If you have a known shellfish or seafood allergy, please consult your physician before introducing this product to your routine, and patch-test a small area before regular use.

The 50ml jar is calibrated for one user, twice-daily application across face, neck, and décolleté, lasting approximately eight to ten weeks. Many customers move to our auto-replenish programme at sixty-day or seventy-five-day cadence with a complimentary discount.

Write to us within thirty days and we refund your purchase in full — opened or unopened, with nothing to send back. If you would rather adjust the ritual first, our Skin Concierge will guide you.
