Biologique Recherche and I agree completely on the importance of customization. No two skins are alike, and their conditions can change daily depending on many factors including climate, diet, health, age, and lifestyle. Skin Serums are a vital step in our daily skincare routines. They contain the most potent form of active ingredients with the lowest molecular weights, so that they can penetrate the skin more easily and are ale to treat specific skin conditions.  

The Biologique Recherche Quintessential Serums are the purest formulations in the  Biologique Recherche  range. They are designed to treat a variety of skin imbalances including dehydration, excess sebum, fine lines, elasticity, and devitalized skin, while penetrating the epidermis rapidly and efficiently, creating outstanding and powerful results. They are water-based and the main active ingredients are amino acids or short peptides and a bare minimum of preservatives. 

Below is a breakdown of some of my favorites:

Serum A-Glyca

This Ultra-Pure Quintessential Serum is designed to block glycation. Glycation is the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin as a reaction to excess sugar in the body. Serum A-Glyca works like a magnet to the extra sugars. Undigested sugars can cause fragility of collagen which results in fine lines and wrinkles. Two months of continued use of this serum can reverse up to two years of glycation.  

Serum A-Glyca Benefits Include: 

• Acts against the phenomenon of glycation 
• Protects proteins within the skin’s structure 
• Reduces seep lines and wrinkles 
• Reduces signs of tiredness on the face 
• Contributes to the skin’s firmness 
• Brings radiance to the complexion 

How to Use 

Take a few drops of the Serum A-Glyca. Onto clean skin, apply the serum morning and night over the entire face, neck and décolleté using gentle ascending movements until the complete absorption of the product.  

Sérum Collagène Natif 

Sérum Collagène Natif is an intense treatment to restore and improve volume, tone strength and plumpness. It is recommended for dehydrated skin and specifically formulated with biological collagen extracts. The skin will be left hydrated, silky soft and glowing. From the very first application, the face is plumped up, more supple and comfortable. 

Sérum Collagène Natif Benefits Include: 

• Tones and tightens the skin

Serum Colostrum VG

Serum Colostrum VG is intended for severely dry, or damaged skin. With intense moisturizing properties, this serum is a savior for damaged skin. Its formula provides the water and fat required to restore the water content of the epidermis by hydrating and reconstructing the damaged protective lipid film.

Serum Complexe Iribiol

For those who struggle with acne prone and oily skin, the Serum Complexe Iribiol is the answer. The combination of salicylic and zinc helps to clean the skin while simultaneously healing the epidermis. Salicylic acid works to clear out dead skin and excess oil from your pores, targeting the acne causing buildup.

Serum Dermopore

Serum Dermopore is a rebalancing serum that is good for skin with oily conditions. Containing java tea, it works to reduce sebum secretion, tighten pores, refine skin irregularities, and purify the epidermis. Pores play a vital role in the physiology of the skin, allowing it to “breathe,” but it is essential to prevent and treat dilated pores before inflammation sets in and acne appears. This serum is, therefore, a care product for daily prevention for seborrheic skin types, which are prone to acne and skin imperfections. Your skin will be left perfectly matte, more balanced, and even.

Serum Extraits Tissulaires

Early signs of dehydration in the skin can be stopped with the Serum Extraits Tissulaires, which contains cellular oligopeptides. These peptides work to moisturize the upper layers of the skin, where the first signs of drying appear.
