All about Biologique Recherche Philippines’ face and body treatments at Admiral Spa

In Biologique Recherche, guests are given skincare treatments and products that suit their skin. Every skin appointment is divided into three stages: evaluation, initialisation, and treatment. 

Prior to every appointment, the Biologique Recherche expert conducts an in-depth dermatological and cosmetic diagnosis to identify changes in the skin. The assessment uses the Skin Instant Lab system, supplemented with a visual analysis, measurement, and questionnaire, to define the most appropriate treatment protocol. 

The treatment protocol begins with an individual preparation of the epidermis, the ultimate shield protecting harsh external factors. It follows a precise, strict ritual based on:

• In-depth cleansing of the skin, combined with a massage.
• Skin preparation using Lotion P50, the brand’s sought-after product, and the application of a mask.

In this step, products with the highest concentration of active ingredients that “recondition” the epidermis to enhance its self-regeneration properties. As active ingredients take progressive action, skin quality improves, and the complexion becomes radiant.

“Biologique Recherche is a bespoke French product. It’s almost raw and natural, with more than 80 per cent active ingredients. So, you can imagine what they do to your face. What we want for ourselves is beautiful skin because it is the biggest organ of our bodies,”  Barholomi says.

She also stresses that despite being French products, Biologique Recherche products are infused with chemicals suitable for Filipino skin.

“Our research and development team has actually developed products like the Lotion P50T, which is suitable for Asian skin. Filipinos can always rely on our products, whether they are for exfoliation, aid for sagging skin, or more.”

Experts found that skin ageing typically starts at age 25. At this stage, the body gradually stops producing as much collagen, which causes the skin to sag, lose elasticity, develop wrinkles, and more. For many people, early prevention is better than cure. 

“We have to take care of our skin as early as 20 or even earlier. It’s truly nice to have a clean and clear skin,” Barholomi explains.

The brand prides itself on delivering instant results, something that it achieves through a more personalised skincare approach. “With Biologique Recherche, you can really see instant results even if it’s just one treatment. But of course, there's no miracle in good skin or skincare; we still have to follow a method. We are on a personalisation approach, meaning not everyone has the same skin, so our treatments per person also vary. When the products address your personal skin concern, the result is almost instant.” 

Bartholomi adds that Biologique Recherche has all the products that can answer all skincare woes. “We personalise the treatment and ask our clients to be consistent.”

For Bartholomi and the experts at Biologique Recherche, skin care is important, especially for those who want to age gracefully. “Let me connect good skin with good mental health–if you have good skin, it boosts your mental health somehow,” she says.

“Here at Biologique Recherche, we believe that you don’t need a lot [of products], you need only what your skin yearns for,” she concludes.
