FACE CARE
BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE
The Assessment Stage is the first step of the Biologique Recherche Methodology. Assessment of the Epidermis. Biologique Recherche believes that the state of the epidermis or the skin’s “roof” is telling of the skin’s internal state. This determines the specific treatment and products the client is supposed to receive.
The skin is cleansed and prepared to restore the epidermis’natural regenerative properties.
The Initialization Stage is a crucial part of the Biologique Recherche Methodology. During this stage, the epidermis is thoroughly cleansed, its pH is balanced, it is gently exfoliated and its proteo-lipidic film is restored. Impurities and dead cells are gradually brought to the surface and eliminated. After this stage, which includes make-up removal, gentle exfoliation and a mask, the skin is ready to receive the Treatment Stage products.
The treatment applied during this fundamental stage is designed to leave the complexion beautiful and radiant.
The Treatment Stage is the most active of the Biologique Recherche skin care program. The products that are used during this stage contain high concentrations of botanical, marine and biological extracts. When applied in accordance with the Biologique Recherche Methodology, they balance, hydrate and revitalize the epidermis. The active ingredients work progressively to improve the quality of the skin and leave the complexion radiant.
Evaluation Stage
ASSESSMENT OF THE EPIDERMIS
Biologique Recherche believes that the state of the epidermis or the skin’s “roof” is telling of the skin’s internal state. This determines the specific treatment and products the client is supposed to receive.
Initialization Stage
CLEANSING CARE
Our face care cleansing products remove all traces of make-up and pollution.
The active ingredients initiate the beauty treatment and leave the skin soft and clean. These products are used in the first stage
of every Biologique Recherche beauty care program in the morning and in the evening. Eye make-up should be removed first, with a clean cotton pad.
Initialization Stage
LOTIONS P50
The Lotions P50 are the culmination of
40 years of reflection and experience.
The Lotions P50 balancing exfoliators speedup the epidermis’ natural exfoliation process and the reconstruction of the epidermal shield. The fortified epidermis can then effectively fulfill its protective functions, thus enhancing skin’s self-regeneration potential.
Lotion P50, our most famous and covetedproduct, is the cornerstone to Biologique Recherche skin care treatments. All Biologique Recherche skin care treatments, whether administered at home or in a beauty institute,start with the “P50 ritual” in the morning andevening. This lotion gently exfoliates the skin, regulates excess sebum secretion, moisturizes and helps maintain the epidermis’ acid pH. It prevents and treats in-growing hairs, making it ideal for pre- and post- shaving skin care.
Initialization Stage
SPECIFIC EXFOLIATORS
These products can either complement P50 with their replumping effect (MC 110) or be used in lieu of P50 (Lotion Alpha Kérato-Régulatrice) to treat particularly devitalized or keratinized Skin Instants®.
Initialization Stage
PURIFYING AND STABILIZING MASKS
These are the last products that are applied before the Treatment Stage. They contain high concentrations of active ingredients to balance and purify the epidermis and preserve all the benefits of previous treatments performed. They contain Essential Fatty Acids to replenish the skin’s proteo-lipidic film after exfoliation and to prepare the skin for the products that are applied during the Treatment Stage.
Unlike other brands, at Biologique Recherche, the masks are applied in the middle of the skin care program and not at the end.
This is done deliberately to avoid removing the active ingredients used in the Treatment Stage when removing the mask.
Initialization Stage
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS
Since its introduction, Biologique Recherche has produced a range of cutting-edge products for use solely by professionals who have received training from Biologique Recherche. These highly technical products are used differently depending on the individual skin analysis. They contain
high concentrations of active ingredients and provide instant results when used according to the Biologique Recherche Methodology.
Treatment Stage
QUINTESSENTIAL SERUMS
The Quintessential Serums are the purest formulations in the Biologique Recherche range. Their main active ingredients are amino acids and short peptides. They are designed to treat specific skin imbalances (dehydrated, devitalized, lined and/or seborrheic skin, etc.).
Treatment Stage
TARGETED SERUMS
Some Skin Instants may present specific
but temporary imbalances that require targeted treatment and both immediate and lasting results.
This is why Biologique Recherche has developed the Targeted Serums, a new generation of serums.
Their composition in phytobiologically and biotechnologically obtained active principles will attack the causes and consequences of observed dysfunctions.
Treatment Stage
BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE CREAMS
The creams are applied to the face, neck
and decollete and supply balanced botanical, biological and marine elements to the skin. They supplement the actions of the Quintessential Serums, protecting the skin from external aggressions.
The creams have a special texture that moisturizes without leaving an oily film. They are easy to apply and rich in active ingredients, providing optimum results with a dime-sized amount. Most Biologique Recherche beauty programs include two different creams, one for daytime and one for nighttime.
Our range comprises three different types of creams: Essential Creams, Specific Creams and Intensive Creams.
Treatment Stage
SOLAR PRODUCTS
The Sun, the skin’s worst enemy? After four years of research, Biologique Recherche is launching a brand new, effective and gentle method for supporting the skin from the sun’s effects, which can be particularly damaging if not managed carefully.
This innovative three step method: Preparation, Protection and Repair, is developed around three targeted products – Préparation U.V., Protection U.V. and Réparation U.V., applied before, during and after sun exposure.
Préparation U.V. prepares the skin for sun exposure, stimulating natural tanning, while preventing premature signs of aging, and the appearance of pigmentation spots.
Protection U.V., formulated around the “Triple Shield Complex©”- an exclusive 100% natural, and nano-particle free, Biologique Recherche sunscreen – protects the epidermis from UVA and UVB, as well as infrared rays, while being photostable and water-resistant. A breakthrough in sun care, and a world debut!
Finally, Réparation U.V. is a complex and complete formulation, rich in active ingredients, which soothes and regenerates the skin after sun exposure, while delaying future signs of aging.
Treatment Stage
FINISHING SERUMS
These serums provide the finishing touch on the Biologique Recherche face care regimen. They are sophisticated and glamorous and their special formulas provide instant and lasting effects. They can be applied both under and over creams to give the skin a natural glow and radiance. These precious fluids contain botanical extracts with a variety of vitamins and antioxidants, as well as hyaluronic acid and potent moisturizing and oxygenating DNA extracts. The finishing serums stabilize the products applied during the Treatment Stage. They make an excellent base for make-up and are perfect for use
on both a daily basis and for special events. Finishing serums prolong and protect the effects of the Biologique Recherche skin care products.
