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-Ageing (Glycation)
  • - + Antioxidant
Anti-Ageing (Glycation)

Combat Glycation and maintain firm, plump, and youthful skin with anti-glycation actives. Glycation is a unique phenomenon where excess sugar molecules from your diet bind to essential proteins like collagen and elastin. This binding process can affect the structural proteins in your skin, like collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining its firmness and elasticity. This results in wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and can even trigger excess pigment production, leading to dark marks and dullness.

Prevent and reverse the effects of glycation by adopting a low-sugar diet and incorporating targeted skincare with anti-glycation actives. These specialised ingredients help prevent sugar from binding to your skin's proteins and repair existing damage, preserving your skin's health and radiance.

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

  • - + Mimosa Extract
  • - + Carcinine
Mimosa Extract

Mimosa Extract has the ability to protect and repair collagen and elastin fibres structures which have been damaged by glycation. The reason this is so important is because collagen and elastin is what keeps skin youthful, smooth, plump and taught. Preserving these fibres is a necessary step in anti-ageing.

Carcinine

Glycation is a natural biological process in which sugars bind to proteins such as collagen and elastin, forming harmful molecules known as Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Over time, these AGEs accumulate and cause the skin’s support structure to stiffen and weaken, leading to wrinkles, dullness, and loss of elasticity. Preventing or reducing glycation is therefore essential to maintaining smooth, firm, and resilient skin.

Carcinine is a synthetic peptide, rich in antioxidant and anti-glycation properties, it works by binding to sugars before they attach to proteins, effectively inhibiting AGE formation. It can also help neutralise existing AGEs, reducing their impact on collagen and elastin integrity. In addition, Carcinine’s antioxidant activity helps to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and support the natural repair of structural proteins. It's beneficial for mature skin to help maintain firmness, elasticity, and brightness; as it protects collagen and elastin from glycation damage and promotes their repair.

Spotlight

Glycation Phenomenon

Glycation is a lesser-known yet impactful process in skincare, where excess sugar molecules in the body bind to essential proteins like collagen and elastin. This binding forms advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which can take a toll on our skin’s appearance and vitality. Glycation weakens collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping our skin firm, elastic, and youthful. Over time, this process contributes to the loss of skin elasticity, the formation of wrinkles, sagging, and a dull, uneven skin tone, making the skin look older and less vibrant. When sugars attach to proteins, they create AGEs, which damage the skin’s structural fibres, leading to visible signs of ageing. Glycation doesn’t just impact the surface; it compromises the very foundation of the skin’s firmness and radiance. To combat this, incorporating antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients into your skincare routine is key. These powerful ingredients help neutralise free radicals and protect the skin’s structure, preserving elasticity and minimising the visible effects of glycation. With the right anti-glycation skincare, you’ll notice your skin feels firmer, looks more even, and retains a healthy glow. By consistently using products rich in antioxidants and soothing anti-inflammatory ingredients, you can help preserve your skin’s youthful structure and protect it from premature ageing. Addressing glycation in your skincare routine means taking proactive steps to protect your skin from one of the hidden causes of ageing. By nurturing your skin with targeted ingredients that defend against glycation, you’ll enjoy a smoother, firmer complexion that looks and feels revitalised. Embrace the power of anti-glycation skincare and keep your skin looking youthful, bright, and beautifully resilient.

Clinical Proofs

Clinical Proofs

EFFICACY TEST :
The test revealed a gain of 2 years of glycation in just 2 months of use (efficacy tests)
*Following a usage test carried out on 22 volunteers who applied the product twice daily for 2 months.
TEST ON SKIN EXPLANTS
We tested the Sérum A-Glyca on skin explants and observe its protective power on fibrillin-1.
Fibrillin-1 is a glycoprotein and an essential component of elastic network of the dermis. It is typically
used as a biomarker of the structural state of the extracellular matrix of the dermis.
Variation vs T (Témoin) or MG (

Aminoguanidine is an anti-glycation reference. The test showed that in the presence of a glycan
agent (MG = Methylglyoxal) Sérum A-Glyca better protects fibrillin of glycation than the anti-glycation
reference.
Sérum A-Glyca has good anti-glycation activity by inhibiting completely the alteration of the
