The Biologique Recherche Guide
Formulas for skin prone to blemishes and excess oil. They help purify, regulate oil production and soothe the skin, while keeping it in balance.
How it works
The first four steps are daily. Add the last two as your skin needs them.
Lait S.R. removes make-up, purifies and rebalances. It cleanses excess oil without stripping the skin.
Exfoliates, mattifies and purifies. Press gently into the face, neck and décolleté with a cotton pad. If you are new to exfoliating lotions, start every other day.
Sérum Vivant purifies and supports the skin barrier, for persistent imperfections. Complexe Iribiol and Dermopore mattify, rebalance and regulate oil, for shine and visible pores.
Crème Dermopurifiante soothes, purifies and regulates oil, a Biologique Recherche icon. In the morning, finish with Sérum Teinté for a lightly tinted, more even complexion.
ISO-Placenta regenerates and targets dark marks left after blemishes, with Crème ISO-Placenta to smooth and even. Spectral boosts radiance and skin quality. Silk Plus soothes and mattifies.
Masque Vivant soothes, tightens the look of pores and regulates, a Biologique Recherche icon. Masque Bain de Plantes purifies and regulates oil. The Vivant Duo pairs Masque Vivant with Sérum Vivant.

Questions
The aim is to purify and regulate oil while keeping the skin balanced, not to strip it. If your skin feels tight or reactive, tell your esthetician so your protocol can be adjusted.
Yes. Apply your targeted serum first and let it absorb, then the next. When using Sérum Vivant with Spectral, apply Sérum Vivant just before Spectral.
ISO-Placenta is made for dark marks after blemishes. Add it to your routine once breakouts are under control, followed by Crème ISO-Placenta.
Blemish-prone skin changes with stress, seasons and hormones, so the right protocol depends on your Skin Instant®. Our estheticians can assess your skin at our Upper East Side and Tribeca locations.
