The Benefits

Cleansing

Cleansing involves using active cleansing agents to penetrate your skin and pores, breaking down and removing daily impurities, pollution particles, excess sebum, and makeup. Thoroughly cleansed skin renews and regenerates itself more effectively and absorbs follow-up products and active ingredients better.

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.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness, and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and stress, as well as external factors such as climate, pollution, and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne, and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

Anti-Bacterial

Anti-bacterial action targets and inhibits the growth of bacteria on your skin's surface. Anti-bacterial ingredients work by disrupting essential bacterial processes like cell wall synthesis or protein production, reducing the risk of skin infections and inflammation. They are especially effective for treating acne by controlling the acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). This anti-bacterial action helps diminish imperfections, prevent new breakouts, and reduce irritation, giving you clearer, healthier skin.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Soothing

When your skin is sensitive or weakened due to genetics, skin conditions, using incorrect skincare products, or harsh weather, it needs extra care to repair and strengthening. Soothing ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier, making it more resilient and protected against external aggressors.

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.

Active Ingredients

Meadowsweet Extract

Meadowsweet Extract has strong anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe the skin. It is also a natural astringent and anti-bacterial agent, helping to reduce acne causing bacteria and improve the appearance of pores.

Rosehip Extract

Rosehip Extract regulates sebum (oil) production, helping to reduce shine and tighten enlarged pores. Its antioxidant power neutralises free radicals which can oxidise sebum, thus preventing blackheads and imperfections.

Coconut Derived Esters

Coconut Derived Esters solubilises lipophilic dirt (dirt attracted to oils) and removes impurities for a very effective cleanse without stripping the skin and disturbing the skin barrier function.

Onion, Myrrh & Myrtle Extract

Unique to Biologique Recherche, the "Complex of Onion, Myrrh & Myrtle" has incredible astringent (tightening), purifying, antioxidant and soothing properties; which is very effective for an oilier complexion combatting sebum-regulation, acne or congestion.

Spotlight

Active & Inflamed Acne

Acne affects more than 640 million people worldwide, around 85% of whom are teenagers. The primary reason for dermatological consultation is classified into two main categories: inflammatory acne and comedonal acne. There are 3 levels of severity, depending on the number, type and distribution of lesions, as well as the presence of scars. Classification helps determine the most suitable treatment for each case. Comedonal acne is mild and non-inflammatory, consisting of black and white heads, while moderate to severe acne is inflammatory and consists of papules, pustules, nodules and cysts which can be sore to the touch and typically red or swollen in appearance. Acne is a complex, multifactorial, chronic disease involving genetic, metabolic and hormonal factors, with cutaneous and gut microbiota playing a key role.

    Best cleanser ever!!

    This cleanser knocked my socks off. Perfect for my acne oily prone skin. It leaves a buttery yet matte texture on my face after it’s patted dry. The only cleanser that doesn’t strip and dry out my face. Love it!

    Pleasantly surprised

    Lait U was my holy grail cleanser until it was unfortunately discontinued. I tried the new "replacement" and it has not disappointed me. It has a similar milky texture, feels gentle on my skin, and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without any residue. It effectively removes any makeup or sunscreen without stripping my skin.
