VG Tensil

TAUTENING + TONING FIRMING SERUM

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.

Skin Instant:

Firmness vs. Wrinkles: Why It Matters

Fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness are related concerns, but they are not exactly the same thing.

Wrinkles are visible lines or creases within the skin.

Loss of firmness refers to changes in the skin's support and tone.

As we age, the number and activity of fibroblasts — the cells involved in producing structural proteins such as collagen and elastin — progressively change. This contributes to a gradual loss of tissue support and can make facial contours appear softer or less defined.

This is why someone can have relatively few wrinkles while still noticing:

• A softer jawline
• Less definition through the facial oval
• Skin that no longer feels as firm
• Changes in the cheeks or lower face

VG Tensil is designed specifically for this firmness and tone conversation.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing and applying your more fluid serum, apply a few drops of VG Tensil morning and evening to the face, neck and décolleté.
2. Press gently into the skin using the palms of the hands until completely absorbed.
3. Within a Biologique Recherche routine, apply after cleansing, your appropriate Lotion P50 and lighter serums, and before your moisturizer.

Avoid contact with the eyes. For external use only.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

VG Tensil makes the most sense when a client tells us:

• “My jawline doesn't look as defined anymore.”
• “My skin feels like it has lost some of its firmness.”
• “I don't necessarily have a lot of wrinkles, but everything feels softer.”
• “I want something specifically for skin tone and firmness.”

That distinction is important.

Not every visible sign of skin aging needs to be treated as a wrinkle concern.

VG Tensil is one of the Biologique Recherche serums we look toward when the priority is firmness, tone and facial contour definition.

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.

VG Tensil vs. Elastine

These two serums can both appear in routines concerned with visible skin aging, but their primary objectives are different.

• Choose VG Tensil when the main concern is loss of firmness, tone or facial contour definition.
• Choose Elastine when the main concern is fine lines, wrinkles and reduced elasticity.

In the simplest terms:

• VG Tensil = firmness + tone + facial contours
• Elastine = wrinkles + elasticity + smoothing

If you are noticing both concerns, the two may sometimes complement one another within a personalized Biologique Recherche routine.

VG Tensil vs. Progeskin

VG Tensil and Progeskin are also different approaches to visible skin aging.

• VG Tensil is more specifically focused on skin that appears lax, less toned or less defined.
• Progeskin takes a broader approach to visible skin aging, including firmness, tone, plumpness and overall skin quality.

Think:

• VG Tensil → targeted firmness and facial contour
• Progeskin → broader visible signs of skin aging

If your primary concern is your jawline, facial oval or loss of tone, VG Tensil may be the more targeted choice.

If you are noticing several changes at once — wrinkles, firmness, density, plumpness and an overall change in skin quality — Progeskin may make more sense.

Ingredients:

• Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein: A skin-conditioning protein and one of the formula's primary ingredients, used within VG Tensil's targeted firming composition.
• Hydrolyzed Manihot Esculenta Tuber Extract: A cassava-derived ingredient associated with the serum's tautening and smoothing effect.
• Secale Cereale (Rye) Seed Extract: A botanical ingredient incorporated into the serum's firming and toning complex.
• Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Extract: A walnut-derived botanical extract included within the targeted formula.
• Pentylene Glycol: Helps support hydration and the serum's lightweight texture.
