Vivant Duo: Masque Vivant & Serum Vivant for Persistent Blemishes & Congested Skin

The Vivant Duo pairs Biologique Recherche's cult-favorite purifying mask with its newest daily blemish serum, built on the same rebalancing philosophy. Masque Vivant deep-cleanses and tightens with a high concentration of purifying botanicals, while Serum Vivant extends that purifying support into a daily leave-on treatment powered by postbiotic, prebiotic, and biomimetic technology. Together, they target excess oil, congestion, and persistent blemishes while keeping the skin barrier balanced and comfortable.

Not sure how to layer these two? See the full routine in the tabs below.

  • Masque Vivant

    A rebalancing face mask formulated with a high concentration of purifying ingredients, including yeast extract, kaolin and bentonite clays, lactic acid, vinegar, cucumber, and witch hazel. Best suited to oily, congested, acne-prone, or dull skin.

    Serum Vivant

    A daily leave-on serum built on the same Vivant purifying philosophy, formulated with postbiotic, prebiotic, and biomimetic ingredients to help reduce persistent blemishes and redness while supporting the skin's microbiome and barrier.

  • Used together, Masque Vivant and Serum Vivant offer both an intensive weekly reset and consistent daily support for skin struggling with excess oil, congestion, and persistent blemishes.

    • Deep Purification: Masque Vivant's clay-and-yeast formula draws out impurities and mattifies in a single 15-minute treatment.
    • Daily Blemish Support: Serum Vivant is formulated to help reduce persistent blemishes and blemish-related redness with continued use.
    • Microbiome-Conscious Approach: Rather than over-exfoliating or drying out skin, both formulas work to rebalance the skin's natural ecosystem.
    • Pore Refinement: Tightens and refines the look of enlarged pores while regulating sebum.
    • Barrier-Respecting: Targets blemishes and congestion without compromising skin comfort or moisture balance.
    • Step 1: Cleanse and tone skin, ideally with your appropriate Lotion P50 variant.
    • Step 2: 2–3 times weekly (or more often for congested skin), apply Masque Vivant as a treatment mask and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
    • Step 3: Morning and evening, apply 2–4 drops of Serum Vivant to clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté, massaging in a light ascending motion until absorbed.
    • Step 4: Follow with moisturizer, and SPF during the day.

    For an extra-purifying treatment, Masque Vivant can be mixed with a pinch of baking soda for oily skin, or layered with Masque VIP O2 for drier or more sensitive skin.

    • Yeast Extract: The signature Vivant active in both formulas; supports the skin's microbiome, regulates excess sebum, and helps target blemish-related redness.
    • Kaolin & Bentonite Clay (Masque Vivant): Absorb excess oil and impurities while gently refining texture.
    • Lactic Acid (Masque Vivant): A gentle AHA that exfoliates and supports smoother, brighter-looking skin.
    • Witch Hazel & Cucumber Extract (Masque Vivant): Astringent and soothing botanicals that tighten the look of pores while calming the skin.
    • Inulin (Serum Vivant): A prebiotic that supports the skin's microbiome and overall barrier function.
    • Polylysine (Serum Vivant): A gentle, biotech-derived ingredient that helps target blemish-prone skin.
  • Can I use Masque Vivant and Serum Vivant together?

    Yes. They're formulated to complement one another — Masque Vivant as a 2–3x weekly deep-purifying treatment, and Serum Vivant as a twice-daily leave-on serum, both drawing on the same rebalancing Vivant philosophy.

    What's the difference between Masque Vivant and Serum Vivant?

    Masque Vivant is a rinse-off treatment mask designed for intensive purification in a single 15-minute application. Serum Vivant is a lightweight, leave-on daily serum designed for ongoing support of persistent blemishes and skin balance between mask treatments.

    Who is the Vivant Duo best for?

    Both products are formulated for oily, congested, acne-prone, or blemish-prone skin, including adult and recurring blemishes, excess sebum, and dullness.

    Will these dry out my skin?

    No. Both formulas are designed to purify and rebalance without stripping the skin — Serum Vivant in particular is built to support the skin barrier and comfort rather than dry down blemishes.

    How soon will I see results?

    With Serum Vivant, many users report soothed skin after the first application, less oily skin within a week, and a visible reduction in persistent blemishes and redness after about a month of consistent use. Masque Vivant delivers a visibly clearer, more refreshed complexion immediately after each treatment.
