Amniotique VG

FUNDAMENTAL HYDRATION SERUM ++

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.

Skin Instant:

Recommended for dehydrated Skin Instants.

Particularly suited to skin experiencing:

• Persistent dehydration
• Tightness or discomfort
• Fine dehydration lines
• Reduced suppleness
• A dull or tired-looking complexion
• Skin that feels thirsty despite regular moisturizing
• Seasonal dehydration
• Increased moisture loss caused by travel, climate or environmental conditions

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
• Reduces feelings of tightness associated with dehydration
• Improves softness and suppleness
• Helps smooth the appearance of dehydration lines
• Leaves skin feeling more comfortable and balanced
• Provides soothing support to dehydrated Skin Instants

Dehydrated Skin Is Not Necessarily Dry Skin

This distinction matters when choosing a Biologique Recherche hydrating serum.

Dehydrated skin lacks water.

It may feel:

• Tight
• Thirsty
• Less supple
• Dull
• Rough in certain areas
• More lined when smiling or moving the face

And importantly, dehydration can affect dry, normal, combination or oily skin.

Dry or undernourished skin lacks lipids.

That is a different concern.

If your skin feels dehydrated but does not feel persistently dry or lipid-deficient, Amniotique VG may provide the water-focused hydration it needs without adding unnecessary richness.

How to Use:

1. Apply approximately 1 ml of Amniotique VG to clean skin over the face, neck and décolleté.
2. Massage gently using light upward movements until completely absorbed.
3. Within a Biologique Recherche routine, apply after cleansing and your appropriate Lotion P50 and before your moisturizer.
4. If using several serums, apply your lighter and more fluid serums first.

Avoid contact with the eyes. For external use only.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

Amniotique VG is one of the Biologique Recherche serums we reach for when someone tells us:

• “My skin always feels thirsty.”
• “My moisturizer doesn't seem to be enough.”
• “My skin feels tight, but I wouldn't describe it as dry.”
• “I can suddenly see tiny lines when my skin is dehydrated.”
• “My skin just doesn't seem to hold water very well.”

The important word here is water.

Amniotique VG isn't about making the skin richer or oilier. Its primary role is helping restore and maintain moisture levels.

Think of it as your water-focused hydration serum.

We particularly like it during periods of seasonal dehydration, after travel, in dry climates or whenever the skin suddenly feels less supple and comfortable than usual.

Amniotique VG vs. Extraits Tissulaires

Both are Biologique Recherche fundamental hydration serums, but they are designed for slightly different Skin Instants.

Choose Extraits Tissulaires when the skin is:

• Dehydrated
• Combination or oil-prone
• Seborrheic
• Shiny despite feeling thirsty
• In need of lightweight hydration and regulation

Choose Amniotique VG when:

• Dehydration itself is the primary concern
• Skin feels persistently thirsty or tight
• More intensive water retention is needed
• Comfort and suppleness are priorities

In the simplest terms:

• Extraits Tissulaires = lightweight hydration + regulation
• Amniotique VG = intensive water-focused hydration + comfort

If your skin becomes oily but still feels dehydrated, Extraits Tissulaires may make more sense.

If your skin simply cannot seem to hold enough water, Amniotique VG may be the better choice.

Amniotique VG vs. Colostrum VG

This is one of the most important Biologique Recherche hydration comparisons.

Both address dehydration, but Colostrum VG goes one step further.

Choose Amniotique VG when your skin primarily lacks water.

Think:

• Tightness
• Dehydration lines
• Reduced suppleness
• A thirsty complexion
• Skin that needs more moisture without additional richness

Choose Colostrum VG when your skin lacks both water and lipids.

Think:

• Persistent dryness
• Flaking or roughness
• Loss of comfort
• Lipid deficiency
• Skin that feels dry again shortly after moisturizing

In the simplest terms:

• Amniotique VG = water-focused hydration
• Colostrum VG = hydration + lipid replenishment

Sometimes the difference between the two is exactly why one hydrating serum works beautifully while another still doesn't feel like enough.

Ingredients:

• Glycerin: A humectant that attracts water to the skin and helps maintain hydration.
• Algae Extract: A marine-derived ingredient incorporated into the serum's moisturizing and conditioning complex.
• Panthenol: Helps support hydration, comfort and the skin barrier.
• Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract: Prickly pear cactus extract selected for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.
• Sodium Lactate: A component associated with the skin's natural moisturizing factors that helps support water retention.
• Urea: Helps maintain hydration and softness within the epidermis.
• Allantoin: A skin-conditioning ingredient valued for its soothing properties.
• Serine: An amino acid that contributes to the skin's natural moisturizing system.
