Read about Masque Vivant

Masque Vivant is a rebalancing face mask designed to purify, mattify, and regulate oily or combination skin. Its yeast-based formula reduces excess oil, unclogs and tightens pores, and targets sebum overproduction—especially in the T-zone. By restoring balance, it helps prevent breakouts and leaves the skin clearer, smoother, and more even with regular use.

Masque Vivant in detail 🔎

Longer description

Masque Vivant is one of Biologique Recherche’s most iconic treatments—a potent, rebalancing face mask rich in active ingredients to purify, regulate, and revitalize the skin. With a high concentration of yeast extract, botanical ingredients, and amino acids, it’s known for its distinctive scent and exceptional performance. Particularly effective for combination, oily, dull, and blemish-prone skin, Masque Vivant works like a detox for the face.

Key benefits

▪️ Purifies and balances: Helps regulate oil production and decongest pores, reducing breakouts and blackheads.

▪️ Tightens and refines: Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores and improves skin texture..

▪️ Restores radiance: Enhances skin tone and brightness for a more luminous complexion.

▪️ Brightens dull skin: Boosts radiance and promotes a more even skin tone.

▪️ Nourishes and revitalizes: Rich in amino acids and vitamins to strengthen and replenish the skin.

▪️ Soothes inflammation: Calms irritation and supports skin barrier function.

How it works

Masque Vivant is powered by a high concentration of brewer’s yeast extract, which is naturally rich in B vitamins, amino acids, and mineral salts. These compounds help support cell metabolism, restore balance to the skin’s microbiome, and regulate sebum production. Cucumber and witch hazel extracts offer astringent and soothing properties, helping to tighten pores and calm inflammation.

The mask stimulates skin functions by encouraging enzymatic activity and improving oxygenation, making it particularly beneficial for congested, stressed, or lackluster skin. Over time, this leads to clearer pores, improved texture, and a visible revitalization of the complexion. While the scent may be bold (often compared to cheese or marmite), the results are undeniably transformative—leaving skin clarified, balanced, and glowing.

Skin science

Human skin contains 2,000,000 sebaceous glands with a density of around 400 to 900 glands per cm² on the face, especially in the mid-face area also referred to as “T zone”. Sebum secretion helps maintain epidermal hydration and suppleness, while balancing bacterial flora. However, excess sebum makes the skin look shiny and causes the appearance of comedones or spots. Conversely, a lack of sebum dries out the skin, leaving it fragile.

How to use Masque Vivant

1: Apply to the entire face, neck and décolleté area
2: Leave on for 15 mins
3: Lather with cold water and rinse off using moistened non-woven gauze pads
