Worth knowing

The finer details.

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

Biologique Recherche Sérum Vivant

Biologique Recherche Sérum Vivant is a multi-corrective face serum developed specifically for adult skin prone to persistent blemishes. Born from the cult legacy of Masque Vivant, this daily formula approaches imperfections as a sign of skin imbalance, not something to be aggressively stripped away.

Its complementary prebiotic-postbiotic technology combines Yeast Extract, Inulin and Polylysine to help keep the skin's microbiome balanced while visibly reducing persistent blemishes, the look of associated redness, excess shine and uneven-looking texture.

The skin progressively appears clearer, calmer and more balanced while its protective barrier and comfort are preserved. The serum is suitable for sensitive skin and is made using a cold-process method to help preserve the quality of its active ingredients.

Why we love it

Adult blemish-prone skin can be oily, red, dehydrated and sensitive all at once, and drying out every imperfection often leaves it more uncomfortable. Sérum Vivant takes a broader approach: it helps control the look of excess oil without stripping it away. We love it for clients whose skin no longer tolerates aggressive, overly drying routines. A clearer-looking complexion should not come at the expense of the skin barrier.

Benefits

  • Helps calm the look of redness associated with blemishes

Best for

Adult blemish-prone, combination or oily skin

Use it every morning and evening, not just on a single spot: the results build with consistent use.

How to use

  1. Apply morning and evening after completing the Biologique Recherche Initialization Phase (cleansing milk, then Lotion P50).
  2. Dispense a few drops and apply to the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area.
  3. Gently press or smooth the serum into the skin until absorbed.
  4. Follow with any additional prescribed Sérums Authentiques. When combining several, apply Sérum Vivant immediately before Colostrum VG and/or Sérum Spectral.
  5. Finish with the moisturizer selected for your Skin Instant.
  6. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

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.
