Which Biologique Recherche cleanser is right for my skin type?

Biologique Recherche makes cleansers for different skin types and conditions. As a starting point: Lait S.R. is designed for oily, combination and acne-prone skin; Lait E.V. is suited to dehydrated and sensitive skin; Lait VIP O2 is a soft, gentle milk that works well for most skin types; and Eau Micellaire Biosensible is a gentle option for dry or sensitive skin. For a full breakdown, read our guide.

Can I use a Biologique Recherche cleanser if I have sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes. Biologique Recherche cleansing milks are formulated to remove impurities without stripping the skin's natural barrier. Lait E.V. and Eau Micellaire Biosensible are especially gentle choices for sensitive skin. If your skin is very reactive, try the product on a small area first, or book a consultation so our estheticians can recommend the best option for you.

Do I need a skin consultation before choosing a cleanser?

No, but we recommend one. Biologique Recherche products are chosen for your "Skin Instant," meaning the condition of your skin right now, which can change with the seasons, stress, hormones and more. Our estheticians offer free consultations, either virtually or in our Raleigh studio. Book your free skin consultation.

Is there a cleanser that works for acne-prone or oily skin?

Yes. Lait S.R. is Biologique Recherche's purifying cleansing milk for oily, combination and acne-prone skin. It helps balance oil production and clear pores while keeping skin soft and comfortable, without the tight, stripped feeling some cleansers leave behind. It's a great next step if you've used Lait U in the past but need more oil control.

How do I use a Biologique Recherche cleansing milk?

Apply the cleanser to dry skin over your face, neck and chest. Massage it in with circular movements for about one minute. Add a little lukewarm water to emulsify, then remove with cotton rounds or a warm, damp washcloth. Repeat if needed. Follow with the Lotion P50 recommended for your skin. Use your cleanser every morning and evening. For more tips, see our guide.

Will Biologique Recherche Lait cleansers remove makeup, including eye makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. Biologique Recherche cleansing milks are designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, pollution and daily impurities. If you're wearing heavy, long-wear or water-resistant products, cleanse twice. Around the eyes, press and hold a cotton round soaked in cleanser for a few seconds before gently wiping, rather than rubbing.

Do the cleansers contain fragrance?

Biologique Recherche formulas are made without artificial fragrances. Some products have a natural scent from their plant extracts. You can find the full ingredient list on each product page, and our estheticians are happy to help if you have a specific sensitivity.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE CLEANSERS

Skin cleansing is fundamental to the Biologique Recherche methodology. Exposed to numerous impurities thought the day, (makeup, pollution, sweat, sebum, and so on), the skin needs to be cleansed in order to allow the cells to renew and regenerate before receiving treatment.

This is why BR has chosen to exclusively develop cleansing milk formulations. A cleansing milk formulation base enables us to guarantee optimal tolerance without drying or irritating the skin. By adding lipids, the hydrolipidic film is protected from external aggressions, thus maintaining cutaneous water balance and preserving the epidermal barrier function.

Having a natural affinity with the skin, the lipids contained in the milk dissolve sebum residues, impurities and makeup for gentle and thorough cleansing.

Each milk has its own galenic formula and unique ingredients in line with your targeted skin instant.
