French skincare since the late 1970s
Founded by biologist Yvan Allouche and physiotherapist Josette Allouche, Biologique Recherche treats skin as it is today, not as a fixed type. Aida Bicaj was the brand's first official U.S. Brand Ambassador.
Biologique Recherche was founded in the late 1970s by biologist Yvan Allouche and physiotherapist Josette Allouche. Today the house is guided by their son, Dr. Philippe Allouche, as Research and Creative Director. Its home is the Ambassade de la Beauté at 32 avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, and its products and treatments are available in more than 70 countries.
The range is built around one protocol: a Lait to cleanse, a Lotion P50 to exfoliate, a serum to treat and a crème to finish, with masks and targeted treatments in between. At Aida Bicaj you’ll find the full collection, from Lotion P50 and Masque Vivant to the Quintessential serums, chosen and explained by the team that helped introduce the brand to the U.S.
Biologique Recherche formulas carry a high concentration of plant, marine and biological extracts, averaging over 20%. Synthetic fragrances are left out, and products are cold-manufactured wherever possible so the actives stay as intact as they can be. The results are potent, and so are the scents.
Shop Biologique RechercheBiologique Recherche doesn't sort skin into fixed types. Your Skin Instant© is the state of your skin right now. It shifts over the course of a day and differs from one area of your face to another, so products are chosen for that moment and your routine changes as your skin does.
Aida Bicaj was instrumental in introducing Biologique Recherche to the U.S. and was the brand's first official U.S. Brand Ambassador. At her New York spas, every treatment and routine starts the same way: with what your skin needs today.

It's Biologique Recherche's term for the state of your skin at a given moment. It changes over the day and differs across areas of the face, which is why routines are built around how your skin is now rather than a fixed skin type.
Most routines begin with a Lait matched to your skin and a Lotion P50. Our Lotion P50 guide explains which version suits you, or book a consultation and our team will build your routine.
Biologique Recherche excludes synthetic fragrances and uses high concentrations of plant, marine and biological extracts. What you smell is the ingredients themselves, not added perfume.
