Worth knowing

The finer details.

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

Biologique Recherche Sérum T.E.W.L.

Biologique Recherche Sérum T.E.W.L. is an intensive lipid serum for dry, dehydrated and lipid-deficient-feeling skin that feels tight and uncomfortable.

Its blend of botanical oils forms a protective film that helps limit transepidermal water loss (T.E.W.L.), helping the skin hold on to its moisture. It helps relieve the feeling of tightness and reduces the appearance of fine lines associated with dehydration.

Used after Crème Dermo-RL in place of your usual finishing serum, it is a great choice for those visiting or living in dry, cold climates.

Why we love it

We like to reach for Sérum T.E.W.L. during long stretches of cold, dry weather, or whenever the skin feels extremely dehydrated. It slips into the routine in place of the usual finishing serum, so nothing else needs to change. We also like that it brings a feeling of comfort immediately after application and throughout the day.

Benefits

  • Helps reinforce the skin's moisture barrier and protect it from external aggressions
  • Creates a protective film that helps maintain lipids on the skin's surface
  • Provides a feeling of comfort immediately after application and throughout the day
  • Helps replenish lipids in dry-feeling skin
  • Helps relieve the feeling of tightness and reduces the appearance of fine lines associated with dehydration

Best for

Dry, dehydrated skin

When the weather turns cold and dry, swap your usual finishing serum for Sérum T.E.W.L. rather than adding another layer.

How to use

  1. After Crème Dermo-RL, apply 4 drops of Sérum T.E.W.L. to the face, neck and décolleté, in place of your usual finishing serum.
  2. Intensive course: use 2 to 3 times a week, morning and/or evening, for about 28 days.
  3. It can also be used during long stretches of cold, dry weather, or whenever the skin feels extremely dehydrated.
  4. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

I brought this with me on a recent trip to Quebec. I am not used to the cold dry weather and I’m so glad I had this serum with me! Made it home to the coast with my skin intact.

Good as a barrier

I bought this after a facial I had where it was recommended to me. I use it specifically in winter to help prevent environmental damage. Typically I mix a little in with my cream so it doesn’t feel quite so sticky

Amazing Facial Oil

I purchased this to help lock in hydration during the day, as I have very dry, sensitive skin. I love how light it feels, but how hydrating it is. It also sits really nicely under make up and does not irritate my skin in any way. This will be one I definitely re-purchase!
