How often should I use Lait VIP O2?
Most skin types benefit from using Lait VIP O2 daily, once in the morning and again in the evening. Morning use helps refresh your complexion and remove overnight buildup, while evening use clears away pollutants, sweat, sunscreen, and any residual makeup. Because it’s a gentle oxygenating cleanser, it’s also ideal for those with fragile, stressed, or dehydrated skin that needs regular but non-stripping cleansing.
This biologique recherche cleanser contains no harsh sulfates and won’t disrupt your skin barrier, even with frequent use. If you have particularly sensitive skin, you may want to start with once daily to observe how your skin responds. Over time, using it consistently helps improve skin clarity and prepares your face to better absorb serums and moisturizers.
What does the "Oxygenating Complex" do for my skin?
This exclusive component certainly stands out in Biologique Recherche’s anti pollution cleanser, playing a vital role in supporting your skin’s health. It contains perfluorodecalin, a compound that helps deliver oxygen to the surface of the skin. This improves microcirculation and encourages better cellular respiration, meaning your skin cells get more of what they need to function optimally.
Why does this matter? The o2 cleansing this product provides plays a major role in skin repair, detoxification, and energy production. Especially when your skin is stressed by environmental factors like pollution, blue light, and UV exposure, and is showing signs of fatigue such as dullness, uneven texture, or a lack of glow.
Do I need to rinse Lait VIP O2 off, or can I tissue it off?
In the evening, rinsing might feel more refreshing, especially after a long day of wearing makeup or sunscreen. But either method is effective, and it really comes down to your personal preference. The key is to avoid harsh cloths or rubbing that ends up disrupting the process. The creamy texture of this biologique recherche cleanser helps clear impurities without needing aggressive handling, so ensure you’re removing the product gently.
Is Lait VIP O2 good for sensitive skin?
Yes, BR Lait VIP O2 is carefully formulated to be gentle on sensitive and reactive skin types, but works well regardless. Its non-foaming, non-stripping texture cleanses without disrupting your skin’s moisture barrier. Unlike many traditional cleansers that include alcohol, essential oils, or synthetic fragrances, this formula is free from common irritants.
Many dermatologists and estheticians recommend Biologique Recherche’s Lait VIP O2 milk cleanser for people suffering from rosacea, eczema, or post-procedure skin complications. Its soothing blend of ingredients, including plant-based antioxidants and vitamin E-rich tocopherol, provide a calming effect while offering mild exfoliation to maintain clarity without overloading your skin barrier with harsher actives.
Why choose a Biologique Recherche cleansing milk instead of a gel or foaming cleanser?
Cleansing milks like BR Lait VIP O2 are far less drying than gel or foaming cleansers. Many of those rely on sulfates or high-pH formulas that can disrupt your skin barrier and lead to irritation, especially with regular use. This one cleans without foaming, which helps retain the skin’s natural moisture. Over time, this leads to a healthier, more resilient complexion. If your skin often feels tight or irritated after washing, switching to a milky cleanser can make a noticeable difference. It’s also an excellent option for mature skin, which tends to become thinner and drier with age.
Can I use it with other Biologique Recherche products?
Absolutely! It’s often used as the first step in a complete Biologique Recherche routine. We’ve put together a gentle and simple 4 step AM/PM BR routine you can try at home:
1. Cleanse with Lait VIP O2, massaging the product gently into your face, neck, and cleavage before removing.
2. Tone, balance, and exfoliate with Lotion P50W, dabbing it gently onto damp skin with a cotton ball from the neck upwards. If your skin tends to be more combination you can use the Lotion P50 toner, more dehydrated use Lotion P50V or Lotion P50 PIGM 400 to treat dark spots and hyperpigmenation issues.
2. Masque VIPO2 twice weekly will help to brighten dull devitalized skin and infuse skin with oyxgen for a healthier skin barrier.
3. Relieve tighteness and replenish dehydrated skin with Serum T.E.W.L , applying a few drops to your face and patting lightly for absorption.
4. Protect, hydrate and nourish skin with the Creme VIP O2 Oxygenating face cream.
5. Seal in products and shield from UV damage with a sunscreen of your choice.
Using Lait VIP as your first step helps prep your skin so that it can absorb further active ingredients more effectively. If you're investing in high-performance treatments, this Biologique Recherche cleanser ensures you're not applying them to a surface still covered in residue, dead skin, or pollutants.
Does this product help with acne or breakouts?
It’s not necessarily an acne treatment, but it can support clearer skin over time, especially if your breakouts are tied to inflammation or environmental stress. Unlike harsh cleansers that can disrupt your moisture barrier and trigger more oil production, this Biologique Recherche cleansing milk keeps your skin balanced, hydrated, and calm, allowing active serums or spot treatments to work more effectively by keeping the skin barrier healthy and intact. Pairing this oxygenating cleanser with a balanced acne skincare routine can help reduce flare-ups caused by pollution, stress, or over-cleansing.
Some recommended acne treatment products that work well with the Lait VIP O2 face cleanser include Masque Vivant, Serum Complexe Iribiol, Creme Dermopurifinate and Lotion P50 exfoliating toner.
