Over 35 years of passion…

Yvan, Josette and Philippe Allouche, a biologist, a physiotherapist and a doctor, founded Biologique Recherche over 35 years ago with a vision of developing formulations for professionals dissatisfied with existing products.

Today, the Biologique Recherche Methodology has a reputation for astounding effectiveness based on a clinical approach to beauty care using intentionally pure, concentrated, raw ingredients, as well as innovative and meticulous protocols and procedures.

Founded in Paris and now stocked worldwide, Biologique Recherche has reached the UK and is growing rapidly in popularity.

The art behind our products…

Authenticity and performance is at the heart of the Biologique Recherche skin care vision. We develop powerful products which all share the following specific characteristics:

• A high concentration (over 20% in most products) of botanical, marine and biological extracts making our products powerful and results-driven.
• No artificial fragrances in any of products which make the products a great choice for sensitive skin prone to allergies.
• We use cold formulation manufacturing to preserve the original structure of the active ingredients – it’s the difference between fresh and canned fruit reinforcing our dedication to highly active ingredients.
• We have crafted our products and treatments to work together. Our unique treatment protocols use unique, original techniques for immediate, noticeable results and our Remodeling Face Machine is an advanced bioelectronic treatment for genuinely tailored skincare procedures.

Building better skin – the Skin Instant ®

According to Dr Allouche the epidermis is the skin’s outer layer and the ultimate barrier which protects the integrity of our inner world. Its functions must be respected and treatments should be customized to the epidermis.

Our skin can be compared to a house. If the roof is built badly and cannot guarantee protection against external aggressions, everything inside is subjected to stress and becomes vulnerable.
This approach to observe how the epidermis is constantly interfacing with the skin’s deeper structures is known as ‘interface cosmetology’. It enables an understanding of how active ingredients can affect the epidermis without needing to go through it.

The skin’s condition changes several times in a day as well as during the course of our lifetime. Everyone has different ‘Skin Instants’ which can evolve during the course of the day. The artificial categorisation of skins as normal, dry or oily provides a needlessly simplified definition of a skin’s condition and only gives a stationary image of any epidermal imbalances. The same epidermis can present balanced, dehydrated zones and hyper-secretion of sebum all at the same time. Inappropriate treatment can easily lead to new imbalances or reactive old ones. For example, an over aggressive product for ‘oily’ skins can cause epidermal dehydration problems; while an over-rich product used on formally congested now apparently balanced skin, can trigger a recurrence of the earlier condition.

Lastly, external factors like climate, temperature, air-conditioning, tobacco, pollution, and internal factors like stress, hormones, general health, digestion and age also affect the skin.

Biologique Recherche’s Methodology addresses all these factors and how they evolve when it treats the epidermis. Biologique Recherche professionals are trained to analyse all these variables and advise on the treatment that is best suited to an individual’s Skin Instant ®.

The Methodology

The unique and original Biologique Recherche treatment methodology is based on 3 fundamental stages:

1) The Assessment Stage:

This stage ascertains The Skin Instant ® and tailors product and treatment to the skin’s specific needs at that time. The approach combines hands-on skin assessment along with lifestyle and behavioral investigations. This critical stage ensures the treatment addresses the unique skin requirements at that time.

2) The Initialisation Stage:

This stage prepares the skin for treatment by thoroughly cleansing and balancing.

3) The Treatment Stage:

The treatment stage addresses the specific requirements of the Skin Instant ®. High concentrations of active ingredients are applied to re-condition the epidermis activating its regeneration properties. This stage in this customised process delivers both immediate and long-lasting benefits.
