About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded in Paris in the late 1970s by biologist Yvan Allouche and physiotherapist Josette Allouche, Biologique Recherche began as a laboratory for bespoke, high-performance formulas for elite skin professionals. Their medical-grade precision and artisanal formulation, paired with consummate savoir-faire, underpin their reputation for outstanding, clinically proven results.

Biologique Recherche treats skin according to its Skin Instant©, the skin’s precise, evolving state. Each formula is loaded with active ingredients in exceptional concentrations, then prescribed to address those real-time needs. This precision approach corrects imbalances, restores function, and delivers visible, lasting transformation.

Cold-processed actives are the core of Biologique Recherche. Formulated at 18–25°C, this method avoids the 70°C heat of standard processing that breaks down actives. Botanical, marine, and biotechnological extracts stay intact for higher absorption, stronger repair, and better tolerance. Antioxidants, peptides, and enzymes remain stable, ensuring consistent, visible results.

  • - + Firming
  • - + Anti-Wrinkle
  • - + Plumping
  • - + Brightening
  • - + Boosts Micro-Circulation
  • - + Repairing
  • - + Antioxidant
  • - + Pore Tightening & Minimising
Firming

Skin firming focuses on boosting your skin's elasticity and tightness to reduce sagging and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking firmer. This is done by stimulating fibroblasts to produce more elastin, the protein that helps your skin stretch and bounce back. To keep your skin firm longer, antioxidants protect these elastin fibres from free radical damage, which can cause early breakdown. This combined action helps maintain a youthful, resilient complexion.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Brightening

Brightening your skin means restoring its natural glow. One of the best ways to do this is through exfoliation. By exfoliating, you promote faster skin cell turnover, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, radiant ones. This keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Boosts Micro-Circulation

Micro-circulation in skincare involves boosting blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your skin while eliminating toxins through the lymphatic system. If your skin looks dull, tired, or puffy, enhancing micro-circulation can address these issues, restoring your skin's healthy glow and balance.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Stabilised Vitamin C

Stabilised vitamin C is a chemically modified derivative of Vitamin C engineered to maintain potency and resist oxidation caused by exposure to light, heat, and oxygen, offering enhanced stability and controlled release into the skin. Once absorbed, they function as potent antioxidants, neutralising free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution to prevent oxidative stress and premature cellular ageing. Stabilised vitamin C also inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis and promoting a more even, luminous skin tone. Additionally, it stimulates collagen synthesis by supporting fibroblast activity, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Because of their lower irritation potential and greater formulation stability, these forms are accepted by most skin types; including sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide, is versatile and highly effective ingredient with many benefits. It helps to strengthen skin barrier function and increase water retention by increasing natural ceramide production. It's anti-inflammatory and sebum regulating properties soothe, repair and balance irritated, weakened and acne prone skins. Niacinamide is also a potent antioxidant with protective and brightening properties helping to restore skin's natural glow.

Yeast Extract

Yeast extract is a bio-fermented active that helps rebalance the skin’s microbiome while regulating excess sebum and reducing congestion or dullness. By supporting a healthier microbial environment, it limits the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin’s surface, helping to purify and refine texture without stripping or irritation. Its enzymatic action also encourages gentle cellular turnover, which helps lift away built-up dead skin cells and improves clarity, contributing to a brighter and more even complexion. Furthermore, yeast helps to reinforce barrier function so the skin remains more stable, resilient, and less reactive over time. This makes yeast extract especially effective for skin that is unbalanced, oily-tendency, stressed by urban pollution, or in need of both soothing repair and a clearer, healthier surface environment.

Complex based on Elderflower, Chestnut wood & Myrobalan Leaf Extract

A complex based on Elderflower, Chestnut Wood & Myrobalan Leaf Extract is ultra-rich in polyphenols and flavonoids. These ingredients provide strong antioxidant properties, protecting the skin cells from premature ageing whilst boosting microcirculation. Additionally, the complex helps to tone and firm the skin.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW-HA) is a smaller, more penetrative form of hyaluronic acid. Unlike high molecular weight forms that primarily hydrate the skin’s surface, LMW-HA has the ability to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, where it attracts and binds water to maintain optimal moisture levels from within. This deep hydration helps improve skin elasticity, firmness, and smoothness, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and dehydration-induced wrinkles. Additionally, LMW-HA supports skin barrier repair and enhances overall suppleness, making the complexion look plumper and more resilient. It is ideal for dehydrated, dull, or mature skin, and especially those in need of long-lasting hydration and improved texture.
