Why Crème PTO Métamorphique Replaced Crème ADN Métamorphique
Biologique Recherche is known for evolving their formulations with precision and intention — and one of their most iconic upgrades is the transition from Crème ADN Métamorphique to Crème PTO Métamorphique.
If you're wondering why your go-to firming cream got a name (and formula) change, we’re breaking it down for you below.
A New Name with a Purpose
Let’s start with the name:
PTO stands for ptosis — the clinical term for sagging skin.
Biologique Recherche developed this next-generation cream specifically to lift and remodel facial contours, targeting ptosis with more advanced actives. The result? A cream that not only preserves the firming benefits of its predecessor but delivers stronger, more visible lifting effects.
What Changed in the Formula?
Crème PTO Métamorphique retains the spirit of the original, but with strategic upgrades:
-
Goodbye DNA actives, hello tensor tech
The old ADN version emphasized DNA-protecting molecules. PTO shifts the focus to tensor ingredients that visibly lift and firm, reducing skin sagging at its source. -
Clinically-backed results
In clinical trials over 28–56 days, users saw a 6% reduction in sagging volume and improved firmness and skin tone. -
A new texture
PTO has a slightly richer, more beige-toned formula that melts into the skin even faster. It’s luxurious, but absorbs more efficiently.
Why the Update?
Biologique Recherche reformulates only when there's a clear reason — in this case, to improve efficacy and align the product with evolving skincare science. As lifting and contouring became top concerns in skin aging, the brand advanced the formulation to better address those needs, replacing the older DNA-protective concept with more clinically-driven firming solutions.
Is Crème ADN Still Available?
Not for long. Crème ADN Métamorphique is being phased out gradually, with remaining stock expiring around August 2028. Going forward, Crème PTO Métamorphique is the recommended replacement — and for good reason. It’s smarter, stronger, and more targeted.
Final Thoughts
If you loved ADN, you'll appreciate how PTO builds on its legacy with deeper lifting power and skin-remodeling benefits. Consider it a thoughtful evolution — not just a new name, but a better-performing cream for real-life results.

Crème M.E.C.: The Skin Sculptor That Targets Aging at Its Source
When it comes to visible skin aging, most products focus on surface correction. Smoothing lines. Adding glow. Temporarily plumping what’s already begun to collapse.
Crème M.E.C. by Biologique Recherche takes a different approach.
It targets the skin’s architecture itself.
Designed to support the Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM), Crème M.E.C. works where firmness, density, and facial harmony are actually determined—making it one of the most structurally intelligent creams in modern skincare.
Why I Don’t Believe In New Year’s Resolutions
I’ve never followed trends or ideals marketed toward women as something we’re meant to chase. I set my own standards and hold myself accountable to them. That accountability matters more than a resolution written once and abandoned weeks later.
