Tested for you: Oxygenation of the skin with “VIP O2” by Biologique Recherche

Oxygenation of the skin. What exactly does that mean? To understand this, you need to understand the role of oxygen in the skin’s ecosystem. The better the cellular oxygen supply to the epidermis, the more energy is available for the skin’s metabolism, which in turn is essential for its proper functioning. Cellular respiration goes far beyond mere breathing. It enables the conversion of oxygen into energy. This takes place in the mitochondria. In these powerhouses of the cell, oxygen drives oxidative phosphorylation. This produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a valuable source of energy that drives all biological and metabolic functions.

The visible consequences of energy loss

The skin needs ATP for renewal, protection, and regeneration. Environmental stress, an unbalanced lifestyle, and the aging process reduce oxygen availability. And that slows down the “machine”—the mitochondria. Less energy also means a reduction in cell functions. This can then be seen externally: the complexion loses its radiance, elasticity decreases, and regeneration slows down. The skin not only looks tired. It is tired – at the cellular level.

Oxygenation – the next generation

Instead of supplying oxygen (chemically O2) only superficially, Biologique Recherche has chosen a different approach. The VIP O2 complex is a concept that helps the skin make better use of the oxygen already present. Mitochondrial respiration is reactivated precisely where it is declining. In the mitochondria, i.e., the place where oxygen is converted into energy and where the metabolic breakdown process begins. ATP production is optimized – without generating additional oxidative stress.

Oxygenation – Energy boost for the skin

The patented oxygen complex, developed by Biologique Recherche’s own research and development department, was formulated on the basis of melatonin and reinforced by two co-bioactive ingredients that amplify the body’s own signals. Products formulated with the VIP O2 complex target the three key constants of healthy skin: moisture, radiance, and texture. This is because a strengthened skin barrier can better fulfill its protective function while maintaining optimal moisture levels in the epidermis. By improving energetic processes, the skin gains evenness and radiance. These are the visible signs that balance has been restored.

All VIP O2 products ensure the oxygenation of the skin:

Cleansing milk

Lait VIP O2 is the first step in your skincare routine. It is a fresh, light cleansing milk that emulsifies impurities and even waterproof makeup. All dirt particles that impair the skin’s oxygen supply and promote oxidative stress are thoroughly removed. The skin is then perfectly cleansed, moisturized, and protected.

Apply two pumps to the palms of your hands in the morning and evening and massage into the face and neck using upward movements. Then remove with a cotton pad or cloth soaked in cool water.

Lait VIP O2 from Biologique Recherche is available in three sizes: 50 ml, 25 euros, 150 ml, 45 euros and 250 ml, 65 euros

Moisturizing mask

Masque VIP O2 provides a further initialization phase of oxygenation. With its rich cream texture, it transports a high concentration of active ingredients deep into the skin. Cellular oxygen supply is intensively supported, the skin is detoxified, and its quality is visibly improved. The complexion appears more even, radiant, and luminous. The skin looks smoother and less tired.

Apply a generous layer of the mask to cleansed, dry skin on the face and neck and spread with upward movements. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. Use two to three times a week.

Moisturizing cream

Crème VIP O2 is designed for the treatment phase. As cellular respiration is a continuous process, this daily care product is essential for supporting the skin day after day. The fluid emulsion moisturizes and comforts the skin without leaving it feeling greasy, leaving it feeling refreshed. The texture is refined, nourished, soothed, and tightened.

Apply the cream morning and evening to clean, dry skin. A small amount is sufficient for the face, neck, and décolleté. Always apply the product with upward, smoothing movements.

Hydrating Eye Contour Cream

Crème Contour Des Yeux VIP O2 has been specially developed for the oxygenation of the sensitive eye area to activate oxygen supply there on a daily basis. The light cream is enriched with targeted active ingredients and helps to visibly reduce dark circles under the eyes. The eye area is moisturized, smoothed, and noticeably more supple.

Every morning, apply a rice grain-sized amount to cleansed, dry skin on the upper and lower eyelids. Massage in with the applicator until the product is completely absorbed. Avoid contact with the eyes. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with clear water.

Fluide VIP O2 is the final step in your oxygenation skincare routine: this water-based gel boosts the oxygenating effect of VIP O2 Cream while forming a protective film against external aggressors. Its unique finish gives the skin instant radiance. The skin is moisturized and immediately appears more luminous, with a more even complexion.

In the morning and evening, take two to three pumps from the dispenser and apply to the face and neck with gentle pressure from the palms of your hands.

The oxygenation concept in the beauty salon

The VIP O2 concept is also available for treatments in the Biologique Recherche institute. Before each ritual, a comprehensive skin diagnosis is carried out to determine the current condition of the skin. The 60-minute VIP O2 protocol is particularly suitable for devitalized skin and a dull complexion. It intensively detoxifies and reoxygenates the epidermis. A 60-minute treatment costs 155 euros, a 90-minute treatment 205 euros.
