Made to work together
Pairs beautifully.
Cleanse and apply the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant, then your lighter, more fluid serums, then VG Tensil and your moisturizer. If you are noticing both loss of firmness and fine lines, Élastine may complement VG Tensil within a personalized routine. If several changes appear at once, such as wrinkles, firmness, density and plumpness, Progeskin may make more sense. Finish with sunscreen in the morning.
Your routine
Biologique RechercheSérum Élastine
Why it fits
When loss of firmness and fine lines appear together, Élastine focuses on lines and elasticity while VG Tensil focuses on firmness, tone and contours, so the two may complement each other in a personalized routine.

Biologique Recherche VG Tensil
Biologique Recherche VG Tensil is an intensive firming serum created for skin beginning to show loss of tone, reduced firmness or changes in facial contour definition. Designed specifically for sagging Skin Instants lacking tone, its lightweight botanical formula helps improve the appearance of firmness while visibly smoothing and refining the skin.
With consistent use, facial contours appear more defined, the skin looks firmer and texture appears smoother.
VG Tensil is particularly interesting when the concern is not necessarily wrinkles themselves, but a change in the support, tone and overall structure of the face. Wrinkles are visible lines or creases within the skin; loss of firmness refers to changes in the skin's support and tone. This is why someone can have relatively few wrinkles while still noticing a softer jawline, less definition through the facial oval or changes in the cheeks and lower face.
Why we love it
VG Tensil makes the most sense when a client tells us their jawline doesn't look as defined anymore, or that they don't have many wrinkles but everything feels softer. Not every visible sign of skin aging needs to be approached as a wrinkle concern. We particularly like it when the lower face or facial oval begins to look softer, or when the skin simply doesn't feel as supported and toned as it once did.
Benefits
- Helps improve the appearance of skin firmness
- Provides a visible tautening and toning effect
- Helps redefine the appearance of facial contours
- Smooths the appearance of skin texture
- Helps skin look more toned and supported
- Refines the appearance of the complexion
- Supports a firmer, more structured-looking facial oval
Best for
Sagging Skin Instants lacking tone
Press it in with your palms rather than rubbing, especially along the jawline and facial oval.
How to use
- Cleanse, then apply the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant and your lighter, more fluid serums.
- Apply a few drops of VG Tensil morning and evening to the face, neck and décolleté.
- Press gently into the skin using the palms of the hands until completely absorbed.
- Follow with your moisturizer.
- Avoid contact with the eyes. For external use only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does VG Tensil do?
It primarily targets visible loss of firmness and tone. With consistent use, the skin appears firmer and smoother while facial contours look more defined.
Is VG Tensil a lifting serum?
It is best described as a firming, tautening and toning serum. It can create a more lifted-looking appearance by helping the skin appear firmer and facial contours more defined; it is a topical skincare product.
What is the difference between VG Tensil and Élastine?
VG Tensil primarily targets loss of firmness, tone and facial contour definition. Élastine primarily targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting skin elasticity. If you notice both, the two may complement one another.
What is the difference between VG Tensil and Progeskin?
VG Tensil is more specifically targeted toward sagging skin and loss of tone. Progeskin addresses a broader spectrum of visible signs of skin aging, including wrinkles, firmness, tone, plumpness and overall skin quality.
Can I use VG Tensil every day?
Yes. Biologique Recherche recommends using it morning and evening according to the needs of your Skin Instant.
When should I apply it in my routine?
After cleansing and your Lotion P50, apply your lighter, more fluid serums first. Follow with VG Tensil, then your moisturizer.
Does it contain nuts?
Yes. The formula contains ingredients derived from walnut and hazelnut. If you have a nut allergy, please book a consultation with one of our estheticians before purchasing.
