  • Slimming
  • Hydrating
  • Nourishing
  • Barrier-Strengthening

Biologique Recherche Creme Matricielle is an intense firming body cream that combats sagging skin. It is the ultimate anti-ageing cream for the body, delivering a smoother, toned and visibly firmer appearance to areas such as the thighs, stomach, arms and decollete.

The Anti-Gravity Lipopeptide is a modified peptide with a lipophilic tail that increases elastin production, tightening and firming body contours for an anti-gravity effect while boosting the skin's resilience against sagging.

Corallina Extract — derived from reddish seaweed — delivers a dual day-and-night fat reduction action, promoting lipolysis by day and limiting fat storage and the formation of new fat cells by night to visibly reduce the orange-peel appearance of cellulite.

NMF (Natural Moisturising Factors) restore the skin's humectant reservoir, ensuring the newly structured skin is well-hydrated and functionally supported. Shea Butter provides deep lipid nourishment that reinforces the barrier and imparts the richness and comfort needed for effective daily body treatment, leaving the skin visibly firmer, more toned and more lifted with consistent use.

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.

The Benefits

  • - + Anti-Cellulite
  • - + Slimming
  • - + Hydrating
  • - + Nourishing
  • - + Skin Barrier Strengthening
Sculpting

Lifting is all about visibly firming and tightening skin that shows signs of sagging. As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm and elastic. Sun exposure and pollution make this worse, leading to a sagging appearance. Lifting products work by creating a tightening film on your skin for an immediate lift, while also rejuvenating it over time. These actives stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone and elasticity, helping to restore facial contours and enhance overall firmness.

Anti-Cellulite

Anti-cellulite treatments focus on reducing the appearance of cellulite, which creates an "orange peel" look due to the expansion of fat cells (adipocytes) in the hypodermis (fatty layers). This condition can be worsened by poor lymphatic circulation and water retention. Anti-cellulite products harness powerful ingredients that stimulate fat breakdown, improve circulation, and reduce water retention. This combination helps minimise the appearance of cellulite, enhancing the overall tone and firmness of your skin.

Slimming

Achieve a more contoured and toned physique by targeting and breaking down stubborn fat deposits. Enhance your overall body shape and enjoy a slimmer, more sculpted silhouette.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Nourishing

Nourishing body care delivers deep comfort and softness through rich, replenishing textures. Formulated with oils, ceramides, and barrier-strengthening ingredients, these treatments restore essential lipids and hydration to improve resilience and suppleness. They instantly soothe dryness, smooth rough texture, and leave your skin feeling nurtured, calm, and visibly healthier. Well-nourished skin is more radiant, less reactive, and beautifully soft to the touch.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.\n\nA healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Anti-Gravity Lipopeptide

Anti-Gravity Lipopeptide is a modified peptide with a lipophilic tail (oil-soluble). It increases Elastin production, tightening and firming facial contours for an "anti-gravity" effect. Additionally, it boosts the skin's resilience against sagging.

Corallina Extract

Corallina Extract, derived from reddish seaweed, delivers a unique day and night fat reduction action. By day, it promotes fat burning through lipolysis, the breakdown of fat. At night, it limits fat storage and prevents the formation of new fat cells. This dual action results in reduced "orange peel" effect, toned and refined figure.

NMF (Natural Moisturising Factors)

Natural Moisturising Factors are water-soluble substances which are naturally present in the epidermis. They are able to capture water and effectively hydrate the upper layers of the epidermis, making NMFs an incredibly hydrating ingredient for the skin.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is renowned for its deeply nourishing benefits. It helps to repair and strengthen a weakened skin barrier while enhancing water retention. It quickly replenishes and restores dry, dehydrated and fragile skins.

Corallina Extract

Corallina extract, derived from reddish seaweed, supports fat metabolism with a dual-action approach: promoting daytime lipolysis to break down stored fat and reducing night-time adipogenesis to prevent fat storage and the formation of new fat cells. By modulating pathways like hormone-sensitive lipase for fat breakdown and PPARγ for fat cell differentiation, it decreases subcutaneous fat and the "orange peel" appearance of cellulite. This leads to a smoother, more toned figure and improved skin texture, making it an effective ingredient for body contouring.
