Valesca Guerrand-Hermes

A family ritual, carried forward.

uncompromising attention to detail

VRéserve is a mother-daughter-owned skincare brand created by Valesca Guerrand-Hermès and built alongside her daughter, Cléa.

Unlike many beauty companies, VRéserve remains independently owned and family-led, allowing every decision—from ingredient sourcing and formulation to packaging—to be guided by quality rather than scale.

The story began with a ritual passed from one generation to the next. Valesca’s grandmother taught her to wash her face with raw honey and warm water—an early lesson in using ingredients in their most intact and purposeful form.

Years later, Valesca began formulating for herself and her family. That personal practice grew into VRéserve: skincare rooted in their family farm, its botanicals and the bees that transform the landscape into honey.

Together, they are building a brand around a simple principle: begin with an exceptional natural material, protect its integrity and pair it only with ingredients that serve a clear purpose.

"Developed over 15 years on our regenerative family farm in Northwest Connecticut. Bees forage from these plants, carrying their phytocompounds into the honey that forms the bioactive base of each formula. We make small batches at low heat to preserve the actives, ensuring each product supports skin health with pure, natural ingredients. This collection isn't just 'natural'—it’s biologically active." "The idea is that details matter, that quality comes from dedication, and that nothing is without purpose," says co-founder Cléa Guerrand-Hermès. "That mindset absolutely carries into how we approach V Réserve today: being thoughtful and uncompromising about what we put into our products and what we leave out."

Built around honey.

Raw honey is the base. Targeted actives are selected around it to address the specific needs of each formula.
