“One of the reasons why I am so passionate about bringing the brand to the Philippines is that I have seen and experienced firsthand its efficacy,” says Gina Bartholomi, co-founder of Binome Wellness Concepts. “Ultimately, when you use Biologique Recherche, you are giving your skin the best possible quality of formulations it deserves. The results will speak for itself.”

With its high concentrations of plant, marine and biological extracts, the brand has certainly cemented its place in the realm of upscale beauty. 

“From cleanser down to the finishing serum, there is a particular formula and protocol specific to your skin,” shares Bartholomi. “There is no one-size-fits-all. No shortcuts.”

Products are applied using particular gestures and techniques unique to Biologique. This means that no two treatments are the same. According to Bartholomi, “Our Skin Instant is constantly changing, and so, too, will the protocols and gestures.”

The brand’s renowned line of serums and creams help to revitalise the skin and includes the widely renowned P50 lotion, also known as the “facial in a bottle”. Other products to choose from are Le Grand Crème (for all age-related concerns), Sérum Matriciel Visage (which helps to define facial contours), Crème Masque Vernix (which helps recondition the epidermis) and Collagène Originel (a potent serum that promotes the natural production of collagen).
