A piece of Paris is tucked inside this exquisite skincare residence on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. Biologique Recherche opened its Boston residence in August 2024. While it may appear to be only a cosmetic boutique for shopping proprietary skincare and award-winning formulas from the brand, Biologique Recherche, the residence, also features an entire Parisian-inspired spa hidden out back.
At Biologique Recherche Boston, guests can escape to a quiet Parisian spa in the heart of Back Bay. Choose from ultra-pampering, restorative facials, massages, or scalp treatments that leave you looking refreshed and feeling rejuvenated.
An in-depth skin analysis
There’s no guessing here. The French don’t mess around with skincare, and that same passion for skin is at the heart of the Biologique Recherche experience.
The brand actually began as a laboratory and brings that same scientific expertise to its luxurious spa treatments. Your facial begins with an in-depth skin analysis, using five custom electronic devices to measure the status of different skin health markers, like barrier function, sebum production, and hydration.
The Skin Instant© Lab tools assess the barrier function, hydration, and sebum of your skin—and are not only helpful for your facial but can also transform your at-home routine, empowering you to choose products with a true understanding of your skin’s needs. This analysis removes all of the guesswork from skincare.
The Biologique Recherche method
Unlike other spas, Biologique Recherche not only uses its own products exclusively during treatments but also features a signature technique While facials and massages are fully customized to your needs and goals, only Biologique Recherche experts are trained to perform the anti-inflammatory and replenishing techniques used during each treatment.
The method strikes the ultimate balance between therapeutic care and results-driven treatments, leaving you glowing and relaxed. It’s rooted in over 40 years of training, history, and research.
About Biologique Recherche
Biologist and physiotherapist duo Yvan and Josette Allouche established Biologique Recherche in France in 1978. Their son, Dr. Philippe Allouche, later joined the family-owned French skincare brand.
Biologique Recherche believes in a holistic, clinically driven approach to skincare—omitting fragrances from all of its products. As Biologique Recherche’s Skin Experts note, “fragrance has no benefit for the skin.”
The brand not only believes in a customized approach to skincare, but also recognizes that an individual’s skin needs can vary from season to season—especially during frigid New England winters and humid summers.
There are 11 Biologique Recherche residences worldwide. You can shop bestselling, cult-favorite products like Lotion P50 or Masque Vivant at the boutique, or visit for a face, body, or scalp treatment.
Find the Biologique Recherche Residence on Newbury Street for a transformative treatment that will whisk you away to Paris and leave you radiant and restored.
