There’s nothing a beauty enthusiast loves more than a French pharmacy product — just ask the You Beauty podcast hosts. And rightfully so — they are legitimately worth the hype. For Aussie girls, though, getting our hands on these coveted items can be a challenge… a ticket to Europe isn’t exactly affordable.
Luckily for us, the cult-favourite French pharmacy brand SVR has just launched in Australia. So, here’s everything you need to know about their debut, including the must-have products to add straight to your cart.
What is SVR?
Founded over 60 years ago, the cult French cosmetics brand has become a top 50 international trending brand on Instagram in 2023. Their range offers solutions for every skin type, ensuring that there's something for everyone’s skin goals.
For the dry skin girlies, their Topialyse range is specially formulated for eczema-prone and extremely dry skin. It offers intense hydration, thanks to omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids that work together to nourish the skin barrier.
For acne-prone skin, there's their Sebiaclear range. Featuring products like the Sebiaclear Active Gel, which combines 14 per cent gluconolactone and salicylic acid to exfoliate, unclog pores and target acne while minimising irritation.
Whether you’re seeking solutions for dryness, acne or any other skin concern, there’s something in the range for every age, skin type and need. What more could you want?
Where can you buy SVR in Australia?
The good news is SVR is now stocked at Priceline Pharmacy, available online and in-store. No flight to France required.

What SVR products should I try first?
SVR is known for its science-backed formulations, dermatologically tested products and skin-loving ingredients that cater to a variety of skin concerns. So, if you're new to the brand, here are my top recommendations to get you started.
SVR Ampoule serums 30ml, $68.99.
Start with SVR’s best-selling ABC Ampoules (vitamin A, B and C serums) — the ultimate trio for your skincare routine, designed to be mixed and matched depending on your skin needs.
For those looking for anti-aging properties, SVR’s Ampoule [A] Lift delivers with 0.3 per cent pure retinol. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned vets, SVR's Ampoule [A] Lift is an ideal retinol for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Meanwhile, SVR's Ampoule [B3] Hydra uses a 5 per cent concentration of niacinamide, a great choice for those looking to strengthen a compromised skin barrier. SVR combines this hero ingredient with three forms of hyaluronic acid to plump and quench the skin's moisture reserves.
SVR’s [C] Anti-Ox Ampoule is a stabilised 20 per cent vitamin C serum, specially formulated to be both incredibly potent and safe for sensitive skin. Vitamin C is a hero ingredient for a reason — its antioxidant properties work to brighten the skin and enhance your natural glow.
SVR [HYALU] Biotic Cream, $89.
Their Biotic range, featuring the SVR [HYALU] Biotic Cream, is another SVR hero and a great entry point for those experiencing dehydrated skin. This all-rounder can be combined with any serum or product to plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The water-based gel formula features a combination of potent actives essential for skin function: pasteurised probiotics (a key player for your skin barrier), stabilised vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
SVR CICAVIT+ Cream, $26.
This next product is where, in my humble opinion, the magic happens. Ever needed an ointment for a cut, burn, bruise, mosquito bite, or one that can also double up as a post-laser and post-tattoo cream? Yep, me too.
Well, the SVR CICAVIT+ Cream can do all that. It’s the ultimate SOS product that helps reduce the appearance of redness, soothe irritation and support damaged or post-procedure skin.
SVR TOPIALYSE Protect+ Balm, $35.
If you have eczema-prone skin, the SVR TOPIALYSE Protect+ Balm is for you. It’s the standout of their eczema range, which is family-friendly for face and body.
Formulated with SVR's patented ceramides, it nourishes the skin barrier and protects against environmental aggressors, effectively reducing water loss for 48 hours after application.
SVR SEBIACLEAR Active Gel, $28.
Another biggie is SVR's SEBIACLEAR Active Gel, an anti-blemish, acne-targeting gel-cream that addresses congestion, inflammation and scarring while gently hydrating the skin.
Apply it to the entire face after cleansing, both morning and evening, and for best results, pair it with the SEBIACLEAR Gel Cleanser.
So, there you go! Pay day can’t come soon enough.
