“May the quintessence of my passionate years of hard work and research serve as a tribute to the beauty that you embody.”

– Yvan Allouche, Biologique Recherche founder –

Founded in the late 1970s by a family of artisanal skincare experts, Biologique Recherche came about through the passion of biologist and physiotherapist duo Yvan and Josette Allouche. Their consummate savoir-faire and visionary approach underpin the brand’s reputation for effectiveness and outstanding products.

They devised an exclusive, customized methodology of cosmetic treatments adapted to every Skin Instant© and based on products with a high concentration of active ingredients. Biologique Recherche operates as a research and development lab, offering treatment methods and skincare products; staying true to personalized methodology and customized experience. Each year, the company offers over 150 skincare products to match different Skin Instants©, 100% developed in-house in Suresnes, France.

SKIN INSTANT ©, a personalized vision of skincare

Skin is impacted externally by a combination of factors including climate, temperature, air conditioning and pollution, and from the inside by factors like stress, hormones, lifestyle, smoking and age. The Biologique Recherche Methodology is designed to treat the epidermis in a way that targets these factors at each different moment in life. That’s why the brand uses the concept of Skin Instants©. These variations make choosing the right skincare products a delicate matter, because all these elements must be taken into account and so the treatments will differ over time.

Unique and personalized skincare protocols

Biologique Recherche strives to understand the skin to continuously adjust the treatment protocols to each Skin Instant©. These protocols are always developed on the basis of a personalized dermocosmetic diagnosis. All Biologique Recherche’s personalized treatments, whether for face, body or scalp, are created with the same rigor, using the same methodology. They are organized around nine key stages during which the guest is pampered by the expert hands of a trained beauty therapist, who enters into a dialogue with the skin, a reflection of the whole person.
