Product details

A closer look.

Biologique Recherche VG Tensil is an intensive firming serum created for skin beginning to show loss of tone, reduced firmness or changes in facial contour definition. Designed specifically for sagging Skin Instants lacking tone, its lightweight botanical formula helps improve the appearance of firmness while visibly smoothing and refining the skin. With consistent use, facial contours appear more defined, the skin looks firmer and texture appears smoother. VG Tensil is particularly interesting when the concern is not necessarily wrinkles themselves, but a change in the support, tone and overall structure of the face. Wrinkles are visible lines or creases within the skin; loss of firmness refers to changes in the skin's support and tone. This is why someone can have relatively few wrinkles while still noticing a softer jawline, less definition through the facial oval or changes in the cheeks and lower face.

Why you’ll love it.

VG Tensil makes the most sense when a client tells us their jawline doesn't look as defined anymore, or that they don't have many wrinkles but everything feels softer. Not every visible sign of skin aging needs to be approached as a wrinkle concern. We particularly like it when the lower face or facial oval begins to look softer, or when the skin simply doesn't feel as supported and toned as it once did.

Pairs well with.

    A few drops pressed into the face, neck and décolleté, morning and evening.

    Biologique Recherche VG Tensil
  5. Serum

    If you also notice fine lines and reduced elasticity, Élastine may complement VG Tensil within a personalized routine.

    Biologique Recherche Sérum Élastine
  6. Moisturizer

    Follow with the moisturizer selected for your Skin Instant.

  7. In the morning

    Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, always the last step.

For when the concern is firmness, not just wrinkles.

The targeted firming serum step, applied after cleansing, Lotion P50 and your lighter, more fluid serums, and before your moisturizer. It focuses on firmness, tone and facial contour definition rather than on wrinkles themselves.

When to use it

Morning and evening, according to the needs of your Skin Instant.
Results appear with consistent use.

Light, pressed in until fully absorbed.

A lightweight botanical serum, pressed into the skin with the palms of the hands until completely absorbed.

Works well with

Cleanse and apply the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant, then your lighter, more fluid serums, then VG Tensil and your moisturizer. If you are noticing both loss of firmness and fine lines, Élastine may complement VG Tensil within a personalized routine. If several changes appear at once, such as wrinkles, firmness, density and plumpness, Progeskin may make more sense. Finish with sunscreen in the morning.

Your questions, answered.

What does VG Tensil do?

It primarily targets visible loss of firmness and tone. With consistent use, the skin appears firmer and smoother while facial contours look more defined.

Is VG Tensil a lifting serum?

It is best described as a firming, tautening and toning serum. It can create a more lifted-looking appearance by helping the skin appear firmer and facial contours more defined; it is a topical skincare product.

What is the difference between VG Tensil and Élastine?

VG Tensil primarily targets loss of firmness, tone and facial contour definition. Élastine primarily targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting skin elasticity. If you notice both, the two may complement one another.

What is the difference between VG Tensil and Progeskin?

VG Tensil is more specifically targeted toward sagging skin and loss of tone. Progeskin addresses a broader spectrum of visible signs of skin aging, including wrinkles, firmness, tone, plumpness and overall skin quality.

Can I use VG Tensil every day?

Yes. Biologique Recherche recommends using it morning and evening according to the needs of your Skin Instant.

When should I apply it in my routine?

After cleansing and your Lotion P50, apply your lighter, more fluid serums first. Follow with VG Tensil, then your moisturizer.

Does it contain nuts?

Yes. The formula contains ingredients derived from walnut and hazelnut. If you have a nut allergy, please book a consultation with one of our estheticians before purchasing.

I experienced BR through a complimentary facial and fell in love with their products immediately. With the first application of VG Tensil my skin had an improved tone and smoothness. (I follow it up with Serum Matriciel Visage for added toning and tightening). I am so impressed with the quality of BR products.

Does what it says

This isn't some miracle face lift in a bottle for me but it does do what it says. I don't find the result to be super dramatic but I do notice some extra firmness and my skin always feels super smooth after using it.

This is an amazing serum!

I'm currently working through trying all the BR serums, and so far, this takes the cake. I'm still quite young but I do appreciate the tightening effect and the reduction in fine lines. My aesthetician recommended pairing this with the elastine, marine collagen, and matriciel serum for the ultimate anti-aging hit.

Lovely!

I’m new to the BR line but I’m so intrigued! I’ve only used the serum a couple times yet as I just received my order but I love it so far! I can already see that my skin is looking smoother! I’ll definitely repurchase BR products. The shipping was great and it included a sample of the masque vivant which was awesome! (The surprise sample and the mask!)
