Benefits
  • Anti-Pigmentation
  • Brightening
  • Antioxidant

Biologique Recherche Creme PIGM 400 is an anti-pigmentation cream that prevents sun and age spots, reduces existing brown spots and brightens and evens the complexion, restoring radiance to the skin.

Plum Pulp Extract is a lightening agent that works by inhibiting melanogenesis and melanin transfer to surrounding cells, thus preventing pigmentation from occurring while also strengthening the skin barrier.

The Complex of Watercress Sprout Extract and Soy-based Pure Genistin targets pigmentation through a complementary pathway, preventing the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes and offering photo-protective properties.

Wasabi Extract provides brightening and tone-enhancing benefits by supporting improved microcirculation and reducing oxidative stress, working alongside the formula's other actives to deliver a more radiant complexion.

The Benefits

  • - + Anti-Pigmentation
  • - + Brightening (Energising)
  • - + Antioxidant
Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Brightening (Energising)

Brightening skincare involves using active ingredients to boost your blood circulation, detoxification and cellular energy. Improved blood circulation brings more essential nutrients and oxygen to your skin, while detoxification helps eliminate cell waste and impurities that can make your skin look dull. Certain active ingredients also enhance your skin's metabolism and regeneration. These combined actions restore your skin's vitality and radiant appearance, giving you a fresh, energised complexion.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant skincare is dedicated to protecting the skin against oxidative stress—one of the primary drivers of premature ageing and cellular damage—while preserving overall skin integrity and vitality. These formulations rely on potent molecules such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental aggressors before they can compromise cellular structures like lipids, proteins, and DNA. Beyond defence, many antioxidants also support repair processes and enhance collagen stability, contributing to improved firmness, brightness and resilience. The result is skin that is not only shielded from ongoing damage but maintained in a healthier, more luminous state over time.

Plum Pulp Extract

Plum Pulp Extract is a lightening agent working on inhibiting melanogenesis (melanin overproduction) and melanin transfer to surrounding cells; thus inhibiting pigmentation from occurring. It also helps to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

Complex of Watercress Sprout Extract and Soy-based Pure Genistin

The Complex of Watercress Sprout Extract and Soy-based Pure Genistin targets dark spots by inhibiting melanin and lipofuscin (oxidized sebum) production. It also offers photo-protective properties, preventing premature ageing of skin cells.

Wasabi Extract

Wasabi in skincare is valued for its brightening and tone-enhancing properties, helping to revitalise dull, uneven skin. Rich in bioactive compounds such as isothiocyanates, it supports improved microcirculation and helps reduce oxidative stress, both of which contribute to a more radiant complexion. By energising the skin and enhancing its natural glow, wasabi helps promote a brighter, fresher, and more luminous appearance with improved overall clarity.

Anti-ROS and anti-RNS Antioxidant

This targeted antioxidant neutralises Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS), which are common free radicals induced by the environment. By doing so, it prevents melanin overproduction and the formation of lipofuscin, a pigment that results from oxidised sebum (oil); thus reducing the amount of pigment produced. Additionally, it detoxifies the skin and slows down cell ageing, allowing your skin to be more rejuvenated.

Oligosaccharides from Wheat Bran

Oligosaccharides from wheat bran are compounds that effectively reduce pigmentation by preventing the start of melanogenesis, the process that forms dark pigment. They also inhibit tyrosinase activity, an enzyme crucial for melanin production. As a result, they brighten and even out the skin tone, helping to achieve a more uniform complexion.

Age & UV Induced Pigmentation

Age and sun pigmentation, often known as hyperpigmentation or sunspots, is a common skin concern where excess melanin causes darkened patches. This can happen due to prolonged sun exposure and the natural ageing process, making our skin look older and less vibrant than we’d like.

Hyperpigmentation typically appears on areas most exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, and shoulders. Over time, UV radiation damages skin cells, leading to uneven skin tone and those familiar sunspots that can leave us feeling a little less confident in our complexion.

When the skin is exposed to UV radiation, it produces melanin as a defence mechanism. However, prolonged exposure and the effects of ageing can lead to an overproduction of melanin, resulting in dark spots and uneven skin tone. The good news is that consistent use of sun protection, antioxidants, and targeted treatments like retinoids or exfoliants can help.

These products work to reduce pigmentation, brighten the skin, and protect against further damage, helping to restore a more even and youthful appearance. With the right care, you can visibly reduce the appearance of age and sun pigmentation.

Regular use of targeted treatments helps brighten your complexion, improve skin tone, and give your skin a renewed radiance. It’s all about finding those little moments in your routine that not only protect but also restore your skin’s natural glow. Addressing pigmentation is a journey, but with patience and the right products, you can bring out the best in your skin.

By incorporating sunscreen, antioxidants, and gentle exfoliants into your daily routine, you’ll be protecting your skin from further damage while gradually reducing the appearance of existing spots. Embrace the process, and enjoy watching your skin transform into a brighter, more even version of itself, glowing with renewed confidence.

Why I love it

  • "The efficacy of Biologique Recherche relies not only on its science-driven approach to balancing and curing the skin, but on its prescriptive and tailored nature."

    X Natalie K-F

    Founder, Embassy of Beauty

    • A brightening cream praised for its effectiveness on pigmentation and texture. Customers said it "makes skin so soft and velvety" and leaves skin "radiant." Many report visible results after first use. Absorbs well without greasiness. Some note it's thick and pricey, best for nighttime use. Highly recommended for pigmentation concerns.

    • Great texture and makes my skin so soft and velvety
    • You can see the difference in skin texture after the first use
    • My favorite cream from this brand, the skin looks radiant
    • 5 stars: 8 (89%)

    Great brightening product

    I love to use this cream 3-4 times a week. It’s a bit thick, so I only use it at night and I apply it well before going to bed. But my skin always feels brighter and better in the morning.

    PIGM 400 range works fabulous

    I love all products from PIGM 400 range. If your skin has got appearance of pigment then this product is a perfect solution, rather than deep peeling treatments that are not always safe to be used on a delicate areas of the face x

    My saviour

    I love Biologique research and particularly this cream as it saved my face! I had a plasma pen procedure done on my face. That left lot's scars on my face as the procedure was done unprofessionally and burned my skin.I was devastated and was trying different anti- scar creams. But my scars didn't go away.Then my sister recomended me the brand. I have been using this cream and Serum Pigm 400 for a few months now and my skin looks so much better!This product lightens pigmentation, scars and brightens your skin.
