Valmont L’Elixir des Glaciers Sérum Merveilleux
L’Elixir des Glaciers Sérum Merveilleux is the treatment step of the Essence of Gold Sturgeon ritual.

The Smoothing and Firming Concentrate of Light
L’Elixir des Glaciers Sérum Merveilleux is an exceptional regenerating face serum designed to visibly firm, smooth and illuminate the complexion.
Its slightly pearlescent lamellar emulsion melts seamlessly into the skin, combining precious sturgeon DNA with a remineralizing marine complex. The complexion appears smoother, firmer and more luminous, while the skin feels deeply comfortable, supple and beautifully refined.
Benefits
- Immediately enhances visible radiance
- Helps improve the appearance of firmness
- Visibly smooths fine lines and signs of fatigue
- Supports greater elasticity and resilience
- Remineralizes dull, depleted-looking skin
- Helps refine uneven-looking texture
- Provides lasting hydration and comfort
- Leaves the complexion luminous without a glittery finish
- Completes the Essence of Gold Sturgeon ritual
Best For
- Dull or lacklustre-looking complexions
- Visible loss of firmness and elasticity
- Fine lines and uneven-looking texture
- Skin affected by fatigue, stress or seasonal changes
- Mature-looking skin seeking greater refinement
- Anyone wanting advanced regeneration with visible luminosity
- Completing the Fluide Merveilleux and Crème Merveilleuse ritual
Why It Is Different
Sérum Merveilleux is more than a traditional firming serum.
Its lamellar emulsion is designed to mimic the organized structure of the skin’s natural lipids. This biomimetic architecture helps the formula merge elegantly with the complexion while optimizing the delivery of its rare active ingredients.
The texture sits beautifully between a gel and a balm. It feels silky and comforting, yet absorbs with extraordinary finesse.
Its delicate pearlescent finish captures and softly reflects light, creating radiance that appears refined and natural rather than cosmetic or glittery.
Like the entire Essence of Gold Sturgeon collection, it is built on sturgeon DNA rather than Valmont’s signature salmon DNA, sourced in partnership with an ethical sturgeon farm in the Dordogne region of southwest France.
How It Works
Sérum Merveilleux combines the regenerating properties of precious sturgeon DNA with remineralizing marine ingredients and an advanced biomimetic delivery system.
- Double Sturgeon DNA uses high- and low-molecular-weight DNA to provide both immediate visible smoothing and longer-term regenerating care.
- The Merveilleux Mineral Complex helps remineralize dull, depleted-looking skin and support its natural protective functions.
- The Lamellar Emulsion closely resembles the skin’s lipid organization, helping the serum absorb evenly while maintaining comfort and hydration.
- Shea butter, mango butter, macadamia oil, squalane and hyaluronic acid support softness, suppleness and lasting nourishment.
How to Use
- Morning and/or evening, apply Sérum Merveilleux after cleansing and Fluide Merveilleux.
- Dispense a small amount and smooth it over the entire face and neck using gentle outward and upward movements.
- Allow the serum to absorb, then follow with the moisturizer best suited to your skin—ideally Crème Merveilleuse for the complete Essence of Gold Sturgeon ritual.
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
The Complete Merveilleux Ritual
- Cleanse with your preferred Valmont cleanser
- Complete cleansing with Vital Falls
- Apply Fluide Merveilleux
- Smooth Sérum Merveilleux over the face and neck
- Finish with Crème Merveilleuse
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning
Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation
Sérum Merveilleux is best suited to someone who wants visible firming and luminosity without relying on an overly active or complicated routine.
Use it consistently morning and evening rather than reserving it only for special occasions. The formula is designed to provide immediate refinement while supporting the complexion progressively over time.
A small amount is enough. Smooth it over the entire face and neck, paying particular attention to areas experiencing reduced tone, dullness or uneven-looking texture.
Although it can be paired with another Valmont moisturizer, its most complete expression is within the full Merveilleux ritual:
- Fluide Merveilleux prepares and remineralizes
- Sérum Merveilleux visibly firms, smooths and amplifies radiance
- Crème Merveilleuse nourishes, refines and seals the ritual in comfort and light
The Difference Between Radiance and Illumination
Radiance is often treated as a surface concern.
Sérum Merveilleux approaches it differently. The serum helps visibly firm and smooth the complexion so that light reflects more evenly across the skin.
Its subtle pearlescent finish provides immediate illumination, while sturgeon DNA and mineral ingredients support a fresher, more resilient and revitalized-looking complexion over time.
The result is not shimmer. It is skin that appears exceptionally polished.
Ingredients
- Double Sturgeon DNA: High- and low-molecular-weight sturgeon DNA helps immediately soften visible signs of age while supporting longer-term regeneration, elasticity and skin vitality.

- Macadamia Seed Oil: Provides replenishing lipids that help maintain suppleness.
- Squalane: Supports the skin’s protective lipid barrier without an excessively heavy finish.
- Glycerin and Sodium PCA: Help maintain hydration and skin comfort.
- Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant support and helps condition the complexion.
- Mica and Light-Diffusing Minerals: Create the serum’s delicate pearlescent finish and help the skin reflect light more evenly.
