Worth knowing

The finer details.

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

Biologique Recherche Sérum Colostrum VG

Biologique Recherche Colostrum VG is an intensive lipid-replenishing serum created for skin that is not only dehydrated, but also lacking nourishment and essential lipids.

Its rich, cushioning formula helps replenish the skin's protective lipid film while supporting optimal water levels within the epidermis. This dual action helps reduce surface dryness, restore comfort and reinforce the skin barrier so moisture is better retained.

The result is skin that feels softer, more supple and deeply comforted, with a visibly plumper look. Dehydrated skin lacks water; undernourished skin lacks lipids. Colostrum VG is especially valuable when the skin lacks both.

Why we love it

We reach for Colostrum VG when a client tells us their skin drinks everything they put on it, or feels dry no matter how much moisturizer they use. Sometimes the answer isn't simply more hydration: if the skin lacks lipids, it may have difficulty holding onto the water you give it. We particularly love it during colder months, in dry climates or whenever the skin feels depleted and less resilient than usual. Think of it as a deeply comforting serum for skin that needs both water and nourishment.

Benefits

  • Provides intensive, long-lasting hydration
  • Replenishes lipids within the epidermis
  • Helps strengthen and support the skin barrier
  • Reduces the appearance of surface dryness
  • Helps limit moisture loss by supporting the lipid film
  • Restores softness, suppleness and comfort
  • Helps visibly plump dehydrated-looking skin
  • Supports greater resilience in dry and undernourished skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Colostrum VG for dry or dehydrated skin?

Both. Biologique Recherche recommends it specifically for skin that is dehydrated and undernourished, which makes it particularly useful when the skin lacks both water and lipids.

Is Colostrum VG a moisturizer?

No. It is a serum, generally applied before your Biologique Recherche cream or moisturizer.

What is the difference between Colostrum VG and Amniotique VG?

Amniotique VG primarily focuses on water-focused hydration. Colostrum VG provides hydration while also replenishing lipids, for skin that feels dry, undernourished or unable to retain moisture comfortably.

What is the difference between Colostrum VG and Sérum T.E.W.L.?

Colostrum VG is a serum focused on hydration and lipid replenishment. Sérum T.E.W.L. is a richer, oil-rich finishing serum designed to act as a protective lipid shield and help reduce transepidermal water loss. For very dry Skin Instants, the two may complement each other in a professionally prescribed routine.

Can I use Colostrum VG every day?

Yes. Apply a few drops morning and/or evening according to the needs of your Skin Instant.

When should I apply it?

After cleansing and your appropriate Lotion P50, and before your moisturizer.

This keeps my skin hydrated during the winter months. I have sensitive reactive skin however my skin does not react to this at all.

Amazing serum

I got this serum after a facial because my skin “ate it up” during the facial. My skin continues to drink this serum up and it feels plump and hydrated after use.

I love this serum!!

I have loads of allergies and other skin sensitivities. This is the first product in a long time to cause no reactions, but also truly works. My skin is soft and well hydrated! Love it!

Serum hivernal par excellence

Un serum que j'utilise presque toute l'année, mais en particulier l'hiver : il procure un apaisement et une hydratation instantanée.
Personnellement, j'adore la texture légèrement laiteuse.

That extra something

I’ve been using this one for years. It adds an extra layer of calm and hydration, especially for mature skin. I save the original cap, and when the product gets too difficult to squeeze through the pipette I replace it with the cap. Much easier to dispense drop by drop!

So disappointed!

This is the first time BR really missed - the new formula is useless. Super drying not moisturizing and omg so hard to get out of the pump (I actually ripped the skinny pump and replaced with an old thick one to get product faster). Amniotique and ET are both useless after reformulation. I am absolutely mad at BR for changing their formulas to appeal to the "trend" while they are losing the loyal and long-term clients... Will not repurchase. Trying out Skinseuticals B5 hydrating serum, so far okay.

Gentle and hydrating

This serum has helped my dehydrated “winter skin” ( red, flaky, due to cold, windy weather). I’m 55, and find my skin tolerates this serum well. No breakouts, no irritation, it’s definitely been very good on my skin.

Great product!

I had run out of elastin but had half of the larger bottle of colostrum, so ordered small elastin and mixed the two together…..such a noticeable difference in my skin. I mix them both into a separate serum and the results are outstanding. Also made the consistency easier to get out of the bottle. I love BR products, so effective.

Very hydrating

Thick consistency. Works great on dehydrated areas on the face. Works well into skin easily. Super silky soft. Excellent product like all BR products

E
Emily
Great Serum!

I started using this in the winter after my face was extra dry and irritated. I mix it with some of the Serum Erythrios and it works well for calming and hydrating my skin. It isn't cheap but I will be re-buying in the larger size.

Le serum hivernal et idéal pour peau sensible

Un must à la routine des soins hivernaux afin d'apporter davantage d'hydratation à la peau ! Ce que je constate c'est l'importance de trouver la bonne dose d'hydratation à travers les saisons ce qui permet à la peau de mieux composer avec les "agressions" quotidiennes (stress, fatigue, pollution, chaleur, froid), mais surtout l'hydratation permet à ma peau de mieux composer avec l'hypersensibilité (dermographie) et la rosacée. Qui aurait cru que je viendrais au bout des rougeurs ? Je souligne que la recette pour une peau équilibrée est le fruit de consultations périodiques auprès d'une spécialiste de Biologique Recherche qui évalue l'état de ma peau et adapte le "traitement" selon ses besoins (saisons, âge, période stressante).Avant je pouvais me permettre de juger par moi-même ce qui pouvait être bon ou pas, mais avec les années ma peau est devenue si complexe : j'ai remis cela dans les mains d'une pro ! Enfin, la texture est à mi-chemin entre un gel et un lait et est très agréable et apaisant. Le serum s'applique facilement et ma peau l'absorbe sans difficulté. Mais comme d'autres le soulignaient, il est difficile de faire sortir le contenu, seul défaut !

Hydrating.

I purchased the 8mL bottle to try because I was having issues with severely irritated and dry skin from using the wrong products on my face. It helped to restore and strengthen my skin barrier and provided me with the hydration and moisture that my skin needed! I think this would be a great serum to have on hand in the winter. I didn't have any difficulty getting it out of the bottle and enjoyed the texture of the product.

Love it. For dehydrated and exhausted skin it acts like magic elixir. It’s definitely my must have for upcoming winter.

Extremely moisturizing without causing any breakouts. I usually use this product during the colder months.

Better than the original one!

First of all if anyone has used the original Colostrum this one doesn’t have that awful smell lol. Definitely a thicker consistency. So nourishing and hydrating!!! My can’t live without item and now am on my 3rd bottle!!

Only one negative thing is because it’s a thicker viscosity it’s a little hard to squeeze out.

Giving this a 4 stars because im not loving the milky consistency of the new formula. However, overall still is one of the most hydrating serums from BR.

Best BR serum

This new formulation is so good it’s my all time favourite serum. My skin is sensitive dry and red and this helps with all of it. I am obsessed and it will be a forever repurchase for me!

Way better then the previous Colostrum. Love this one and it smells good too.

Holy grail of serums!

A must for anyone with dehydrated skin.! I love that this new formula (unlike the regular colostrum) doesn’t have a funky smell lol. Even though the texture is a bit thick for a serum, It glides on very nicely and not sticky at all! Yes, it’s pricey, but worth it!!

A new favourite and staple

I was in love with the original colostrum serum, so I was upset when I discovered that BR were reformulating it. However, this formulation is even better than the original. Compared to the previous version, this new formula is milky (not oily at all) and does not have any scent. Despite its lighter texture, it is just as nourishing as the original serum, yet I find it more calming for my dehydrated skin with rosacea. It does take a bit of effort to squeeze out of the bottle sometimes, but it's no big deal at all. Definitely one of my favourite BR serums and will absolutely repurchase!

Worth the wait.
