SVR Laboratoires is an independent French dermo-cosmetic brand that develops, manufactures, and distributes innovative skincare products for pharmacies worldwide, with a core philosophy of combining high concentrations of active ingredients with optimal skin tolerance.

Company Overview

Founding & History:
SVR was founded in 1962 in France by a visionary couple of pharmacists, Simone and Robert Véret, who believed in balancing powerful dermatological efficacy (“the snake symbol of health”) with beauty (“the rose symbol of beauty”).

Ownership:
The company is owned by the private equity group HLD, which acquired a majority stake in 2014 alongside Didier Tabary to drive its global expansion. The company was recently sold to Kresk in June 2024.

Headquarters & Operations:
SVR is based in Le Plessis-Pâté, just south of Paris, France, where it has its research and production site.

Global Reach:
The products are recommended by health professionals and sold in pharmacies and drug stores in over 50 countries, through six international subsidiaries.

Research & Development:
The company is dedicated to R&D, with a significant percentage of employees focused on designing and formulating products that are rigorously tested under dermatological, pediatric, and gynecological control.

Product Philosophy

SVR is known for its “clean beauty” and “glamour that works” approach, ensuring products are suitable for even the most sensitive and reactive skin.

High Concentration & Tolerance:
The brand’s hallmark is using exceptionally high concentrations of active ingredients (like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides) without compromising the skin’s barrier or tolerance.
