Worth knowing

The finer details.

A closer look at your skin, your routine and what goes into the formula.

Biologique Recherche Amniotique VG

Biologique Recherche Amniotique VG is an intensive hydrating serum designed for skin that is lacking water and struggling to maintain optimal moisture levels.

Its hydro-fixing formula helps attract and retain water within the outer layers of the epidermis while supporting the skin's protective barrier. As hydration is restored, skin feels smoother, softer and more supple, with improved comfort and a fresher-looking appearance.

Amniotique VG is particularly useful when the skin feels thirsty, tight or dehydrated but does not necessarily need the additional lipids of a richer nourishing serum. Remember that dehydrated skin lacks water, while dry skin lacks lipids, and dehydration can affect dry, normal, combination or oily skin.

Why we love it

We reach for Amniotique VG when someone tells us their skin always feels thirsty, that their moisturizer never seems to be enough, or that it feels tight without really being dry. The important word is water: this serum is not about making the skin richer or oilier, but about helping it restore and hold its moisture. We particularly like it during seasonal dehydration, after travel, in dry climates or whenever the skin suddenly feels less supple and comfortable than usual. Think of it as your water-focused hydration serum.

Benefits

  • Provides intensive hydration to the epidermis
  • Helps the skin attract and retain water
  • Supports optimal moisture levels
  • Helps reinforce the skin's protective barrier

  • Provides soothing support to dehydrated Skin Instants

Best for

Dehydrated skin

Oily skin can be dehydrated too: if your skin is shiny but still feels tight, ask us whether Amniotique VG or Extraits Tissulaires suits your Skin Instant better.

How to use

  1. Start on clean skin, after cleansing and the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant.
  2. Apply approximately 1 ml of Amniotique VG over the face, neck and décolleté.
  3. Massage gently using light upward movements until completely absorbed.
  4. If using several serums, apply your lighter and more fluid serums first.
  5. Follow with your moisturizer, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
  6. Avoid contact with the eyes. For external use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Amniotique VG for dry skin or dehydrated skin?

It is primarily designed for dehydrated skin, meaning skin that lacks water. If your skin is also persistently dry, undernourished or lacking lipids, Colostrum VG may be more appropriate.

Can oily skin use Amniotique VG?

Yes. Oily skin can also be dehydrated, because oil and water are different components of the skin. If dehydration comes with significant excess oil or shine, Extraits Tissulaires may be the more targeted option.

What is the difference between Amniotique VG and Extraits Tissulaires?

Amniotique VG provides more intensive water-focused hydration for dehydrated Skin Instants. Extraits Tissulaires provides lightweight hydration while also helping balance dehydrated, oily Skin Instants.

What is the difference between Amniotique VG and Colostrum VG?

Amniotique VG primarily addresses a lack of water. Colostrum VG addresses both dehydration and a lack of lipids, making it more appropriate when skin is also dry or undernourished.

Is Amniotique VG a moisturizer?

No. It is a serum and is generally followed by the appropriate Biologique Recherche cream or moisturizer.

How much should I use?

Biologique Recherche currently recommends approximately 1 ml over the entire face, neck and décolleté.

Does it contain nuts?

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

Consultation & reactions

At Loshen & Crem, we want to ensure you have the best possible experience with Biologique Recherche. Before purchasing any Biologique Recherche product, we highly recommend booking a consultation with one of our estheticians. Consultations are available virtually through Google Meet or in person at our Edmonton boutique. An appointment is required.

In the event of a reaction, Biologique Recherche requires photos of the reaction and the product, the lot number found on the product or the bottom of the box, and proof of a consultation with one of our estheticians before they can review the concern.

If you choose to purchase without a consultation and experience a reaction, we will be unable to provide a refund. Our team is always happy to answer your questions and help you select the products best suited to your skin.

Good Hydration

Used it in the winter months and it really helped keep my skin moisturized in those -30 temps (couple days in -50. Hurray Canada). Skin felt nourished despite the drying cold. Paired it with the ISO-placenta cream and the combo worked great for my skin.

Helps with Glow & Radiance

When I hit my 30s my skin started looking dull (iykyk). I use this serum in the evening and my skin looks much more radiant the next day. I feel like I've gotten back some of my youthful glow with this one.

Love

This hydrating serum worked wonders for me. Hydrated my skin while also leaving it soft and smooth! This serum doesn't just sit on the top on your skin like the others on the market which sometimes can tend to be sticky, none of that with this serum.

Not my favourite

I love BR however I don’t really notice a difference with using this serum. Maybe just isn’t what my skin needs (but it is dry so I’m
not sure why that would be)

One of my Favourites (and hubby likes it too)

This serum will hydrate and smooth your skin. It's the middle of BR's three hydration serums. Hubby has sensitive skin and he can also use this serum, which means I'll need to buy two bottles from now on. Love this serum and thanks to Sara for recommending !!!
