Benefits
  • Anti-Pigmentation
  • Antioxidant
  • Brightening

Serum PIGM 400 by Biologique Recherche is a targeted anti-pigmentation serum formulated to prevent new dark spots from forming, reduce the appearance of existing hyperpigmentation and leave the complexion more even, unified and luminous.

A complex of Watercress Sprout Extract and Soy-based Pure Genistein provides the formula's core brightening action, while a Chromanyl Palmitate-based Synthetic Peptide — a stabilised Vitamin E derivative — adds a further layer of antioxidant protection. Plum Pulp Extract rounds out the active brightening complex, working at the skin's surface to visibly fade existing discolouration through natural acids and brightening compounds.

The watercress targets oxidative stress triggers at their source by neutralising both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), while Pure Genistein acts directly on the melanogenesis pathway to inhibit pigment synthesis at the cellular level. The Chromanyl Peptide intercepts free radical chains before they can stimulate melanocyte activity, helping to prevent the environmental triggers that cause dark spots to recur.

The Benefits

  • - + Anti-Pigmentation
  • - + Photo-Protecting
  • - + Antioxidant
  • - + Brightening (Energising)
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.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protecting skincare at a cellular level focuses on defending the skin against the internal damage triggered by UV exposure, rather than simply blocking rays at the surface. Ultraviolet radiation generates free radicals and disrupts cellular DNA, accelerating collagen breakdown, inflammation, and premature ageing. Advanced formulations work by neutralising oxidative stress, supporting DNA repair mechanisms, and strengthening the skin’s natural defence systems to limit long-term damage. By preserving cellular integrity and maintaining healthy skin function, this approach helps prevent visible signs of photo-ageing—such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and uneven tone.

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.

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.

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.

Chromanyl Palmitate-based Synthetic Peptide

Chromanyl Palmitate-based Peptide is a potent lightening active that works by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, a primary enzyme responsible for melanin creation, resulting in reduced pigmentation marks. It also protects the skin cells form UV induced damage, ensuring skin is clearer of pigmentation and unified.

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.

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).

Sea Lily Extract

Sea Lily is a lightening agent that reduces the activity of melanocyte dendrites that are responsible for melanin transfer to surrounding cells; meaning that it inhibits pigmentation. It also contributes to normalising melanin production, which leads to visible improvement in the size and colour of existing pigmentation marks.

Sea Fern Extract

Sea Fern Extract is a lightening agent that targets the production and distribution of melanin into surrounding cells, helping to fade existing marks and prevent new ones from appearing, resulting in a brighter and more unified complexion.

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.

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.
