The Loshen perspective

Why you’ll love it.

Firmness and renewal, without the retinol drama.

This is the serum we suggest when clients want firmer, smoother-looking skin but do not get along with retinol. Bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative, works alongside soothing dragon’s blood resin and a bio-placenta complex of synthesized growth factors, without the redness or peeling retinol can bring.

Four types of hyaluronic acid hydrate at different depths, a real help in our dry climate. Because Biophora is a professional brand, we start with a free virtual consultation to make sure it fits your skin and your routine.

Formula note 01

Dragon’s blood

Soothing botanical resin

Croton lechleri sap extract, a red botanical resin valued for its soothing, hydrating and antioxidant properties. It also helps tone the skin and support its barrier.

Ingredient imagery is illustrative.

Formula note 02

Bakuchiol

A plant-based alternative to retinol

A plant-derived ingredient studied as a gentler alternative to retinol, to help the look of fine lines, firmness and uneven tone. Well suited to sensitive skin.

Ingredient imagery is illustrative.

Formula note 03

Bio-Placenta complex

Synthesized growth factors

Five lab-synthesized growth factors with vitamin B9 and acetyl glutamine, to support the look of renewed, firmer, more elastic skin.

Ingredient imagery is illustrative.

Formula note 04

3D hyaluronic acid complex

Hydration at every depth

Four forms of hyaluronic acid: high molecular weight forms a moisture film on the surface, low molecular weight sinks deeper, and a cross-linked form builds a network that replenishes water through the epidermis.

Ingredient imagery is illustrative.

Skin knowledge

Beyond the ingredient list.

Dragon’s Blood Serum or Bioactive Retinol 30?

Both work on the look of fine lines, texture and tone. Bioactive Retinol 30 uses true retinol, encapsulated, at night only, with a gradual start. Dragon’s Blood uses bakuchiol and growth factors, does not increase sun sensitivity the way retinoids do, and can be used morning and evening.

Our lens: if retinol has left you red, flaky or stinging before, or your skin is sensitive, start with Dragon’s Blood. If your skin is resilient and breakouts or congestion are part of the picture, Retinol 30 may be the better fit. We sort this out together during your consultation.

Is this right for you?

A little guidance for your next step.

A thoughtful choice if…

You want firmer, smoother, more even-looking skin but retinol has not agreed with you, or your barrier feels fragile through the seasons.

Consider first…

A free virtual consultation with our estheticians is required before purchase. It contains lavender oil: if your skin reacts to essential oils, mention it during your consultation. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider first. Daily SPF is still essential.
