Aida Bicaj - Biologique Recherche reviewed by Brooklyn Blonde
Where: Upper East Side (30 East 67th Street, fifth floor; 212-861-1007).
How Much? A facial with Aida is $640; with another associate it’s $300-$450, depending on what facial you choose.
Aida Bicaj was my first foray into “fancy facials” and it was the start of something dangerous (in the best possible way). I discovered Aida shortly after I discovered Biologique Recherche P50, after reading that she primarily uses the Biologique line throughout the entire treatment. After that bit, I also found out that it was Jenna Lyons favorite place and I was further sold. It was after leaving my first appointment, that I began to understand why some women become obsessed with skincare maintenance that goes beyond their at-home routine. An appointment with Aida herself is a small fortune (these days, it’s over $600!!), but since that visit, I’ve seen her other associates and have been equally as impressed.

Embracing Your Skin’s Ever-Changing Needs
Biologique Recherche begins with an innovative diagnostic approach called "Skin Instant®." Unlike traditional skincare methods, which assume skin type is static, this approach identifies your skin’s immediate condition.
The Power of Retinol and Retinoids
Derived from Vitamin A, retinol and retinoids are often hailed as the "holy grail" of skincare. Their benefits include enhanced collagen production, smoother skin texture, and fading dark spots. Yet, their potent nature means they may cause irritation, redness, or dryness, especially for sensitive skin types. To minimize these side effects, always apply retinol at night and start with a "low-and-slow" approach—using it once a week and gradually increasing usage.
