The reimagined VIP O2 range from Biologique Recherche
Knowledge isn’t static — it shifts, grows and renews itself, much like the skin.
That philosophy of constant evolution is at the heart of Biologique Recherche, a brand long recognized as a pioneer in global skin care. The latest innovation? A reimagining of its iconic VIP O2 range, now reformulated to work on a cellular level.
First introduced in 1998, VIP O2 was born when Biologique Recherche founder Yvan Allouche, inspired by the concept of liquid respiration, pioneered formulas designed to help skin breathe freely. VIP O2 was an especially vital innovation for those navigating the challenges of urban living, where pollution and oxidative stress can disrupt the skin’s natural oxygen flow.
While the former VIP O2 technology worked by boosting oxygen at the skin’s surface, this new version penetrates deeper, reaching the mitochondria of skin cells. It uses a melatonin-powered complex, reinforced with two co-bioactives, to energize the cells. Once inside, it’s converted into ATP — the fuel that drives all cellular functions — enhancing the skin’s natural ability to renew, repair and glow.
“This mechanism goes far beyond simple oxygenation — it reactivates the skin’s energy function by harnessing an already-existing physiological process,” explains Dr. Hélène Huguet, Vice President of Global Research and Development at Biologique Recherche.
The reimagined VIP O2 range is the perfect example of why, by continuing to evolve its formulas with scientific precision and forward-thinking innovation, Biologique Recherche remains the choice of top skin-care professionals worldwide. Fifty years on, the French brand hasn’t lost sight of its mission to deliver treatments that are both visionary and effective. Like the skin’s constant renewal, Biologique Recherche’s innovation is what keeps it fresh, as well as at the forefront of global beauty.
