Apply a hazelnut-sized amount of Crème Dermopurifiante after P50 Lotion and serums, then massage in upward strokes until absorbed.
It targets oily, acne-prone, or unbalanced skin, and is safe for reactive types. For dryness, apply a hydrating serum before. Morning? Don’t forget sunscreen.
While this may come straightforward as it goes, most people still misuse it, leading to breakouts or lackluster results.
This guide breaks it all down with clarity and insight, so your skin reaps the full benefit. Let’s dive in.
Crème Dermopurifiante: How To Use It For Clear, Calm Skin
This isn’t your typical moisturizer. It’s a powerhouse treatment cream from Biologique Recherche designed specifically for clients with oily, acne-prone, or chronically imbalanced skin.
I reach for it when clients come in struggling with congestion, breakouts along the jawline, hormonal acne flare-ups, or skin that’s just completely out of rhythm.
It’s also one of my go-tos for reactive rosacea, seborrheic flare-ups, and even post-travel inflammation.
What makes Crème Dermopurifiante unique is that it doesn’t try to do everything, it does exactly what unbalanced skin needs. It purifies gently, calms inflammation, regulates oil, and tightens pores without drying.
Yes, it has a strong, yeasty scent, think “clean cheese.” But that’s the smell of performance: no fragrance, no fluff, just potent botanical actives doing their job.
And no, it’s not just a night cream. It’s a detox step. A reset.
Perfect for hormonal breakouts or when your skin’s overloaded and needs to find its balance again.
A BR-Approved Routine: How To Apply Dermopurifiante Right

At KarinaNYC, we usually introduce Crème Dermopurifiante at night. Why? Because that’s when your skin is naturally in repair mode, no UV rays, no pollution, no makeup competing with the formula.
It gives the cream space to detox and rebalance without interruption.
That said, I’ve personally used it in the mornings under SPF, especially during New York’s humid summers. If you're prone to T-zone shine or midday congestion, this cream under a lightweight sunscreen is a game-changer.
Have sensitive or reactive skin? Start slow and apply it every other night for the first week. Let your skin adjust, then build from there.
Step-By-Step: What Goes With Dermopurifiante
Here’s how we do it in the treatment room, and exactly how I teach my clients to do it at home:
Cleanse thoroughly.
Always start with a clean canvas. Lait S.R is my go-to for gently balancing oily, breakout-prone skin without stripping it. Massage for at least 60 seconds, this isn’t a splash-and-go situation. Let the cleanser do its job and prep your skin.Apply P50 Lotion.
P50 is the heart of the Biologique Recherche method. This step exfoliates, balances pH, and ensures the actives that follow penetrate deeply. Without it, your products just sit on the surface.Layer Serums.
If your skin is oily or acne-prone, apply Complexe Iribiol to breakout-prone areas. For hydration, Amniotique is your best friend; lightweight, effective, and non-comedogenic. To further refine texture and control shine, Dermopore is a great addition. It visibly tightens pores and regulates oil production, making it ideal for skin that feels congested or unbalanced.Dispense the Cream.
Use a spatula, never your fingers, to scoop out a hazelnut-sized amount. This keeps the formula uncontaminated and preserves the potency of those botanicals.Dot + Apply.
Dot the cream across your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin for even distribution before blending. A little goes a long way.Massage it in.
Use slow, upward strokes to melt the product into your skin. Don’t rush, give it a minute. The finish is matte yet nourishing. It absorbs fully without residue, which makes it great under makeup or SPF.Extend to the Neck and Chest.
Don’t stop at your jawline. The décolleté is often where early signs of aging show up. Use whatever’s left on your fingers and sweep it down with intention.Layer With Hydration If Needed.
If your skin feels tight afterward, especially in winter or after a treatment, layer a drop of Serum Amniotique or Extraits Tissulaires underneath. These provide hydration without interfering with the cream’s purifying action. For clients concerned with elasticity or wanting smoother skin, Serum Elastine is a beautiful pairing. It helps soften fine lines and restore suppleness without adding weight.Morning? Add SPF.
Using it in the morning? Always seal with sunscreen.
This exact routine has been battle-tested by hundreds of my clients, and by me.
I still reach for Crème Dermopurifiante several times a week, especially after long flights, facials, or whenever my skin starts feeling unbalanced.
Used correctly? It’s not just skincare, it’s a reset button.
Is This Cream Right For You? Let’s Break It Down
Whether you’re new to Biologique Recherche or simply unsure about adding Crème Dermopurifiante to your routine, these are the exact questions I get from clients every week.
Let’s clear up the confusion so you can make the smartest choice for your skin.
Is It Too Drying For Combo Or Dehydrated Skin?
Not when used correctly. If your skin feels tight, buffer with Serum Amniotique VG. It’s not the cream that dries you out, it’s skipping hydration.
Can I Skip The P50 Or Serums?
You could, but your results will suffer. P50 preps, serums treat, and Dermopurifiante seals it all in. Skip one, and the formula won’t shine.
Will It Purge My Skin?
It might. Especially if you’re switching from a calming cream. Start slow, every other night, and use calming support if you’re reactive.
“Can I Use It Both Morning And Night?”
Yes, if your skin tolerates it. Oily skin? Go for it. Reactive or dry? Stick to once daily or alternate nights. Listen to your skin, always.
Benefits Of Using Crème Dermopurifiante (When Used Properly)
Crème Dermopurifiante isn’t flashy, it’s effective. When used right, it becomes the anchor of your skincare routine. Here’s what it does best:
Reduces oil and tightens pores without overdrying
It helps regulate sebum with Oleanic Acid and Vitamin B3, refines pores, and leaves a matte finish, never tight or chalky when layered with hydration.Clears hormonal acne without triggering rosacea
This cream clears congestion gently, making it safe for breakouts and sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. No stinging, no barrier damage.Balances seborrheic skin prone to flakiness
Bardane extract calms oily yet flaky zones like the nose and chin, soothing inflammation without clogging pores.Safe for reactive, stressed-out skin types
It’s often the first cream I recommend for clients with over-treated skin. No sting, no stripping, just balance.Replaces the need for multiple harsh actives
Dermopurifiante simplifies your routine. Used with a serum or two, it targets acne, oil, and inflammation without the product overload.
When used with intention, Crème Dermopurifiante delivers steady, skin-changing results. It does the work quietly, and powerfully.
Who Should Avoid It?
Now, this part might surprise you, but not every product is for every person, and I have zero problem saying that.
Clients looking for heavy moisture or immediate glow.
If your goal is that glassy, high-shine look, Dermopurifiante probably isn’t your hero. It’s matte, functional, and meant to correct, not illuminate.
That doesn’t mean it’s drying, but it won’t give you the dewy bounce of a cream like Creme Masque Vernix.
Anyone using multiple aggressive active.
This cream does not play well with others if those “others” are acids, peels, or prescription-strength retinoids.
It needs its own space in the routine, ideally as the main corrective product on any given night.
Those unwilling to commit to a full, consistent routine.
Crème Dermopurifiante works best in a system. If you’re not willing to follow the recommended prep, it’s not going to deliver the magic it’s capable of.
And if you’re unsure? That’s exactly what consultations are for. I built KarinaNYC to take the guesswork out of all this. Your skin deserves better than trial and error.
What Not To Mix With Crème Dermopurifiante
Crème Dermopurifiante is not a background player.
It’s a lead act in your skincare routine, and it needs space to do its job. I’ve seen far too many clients over-layering, thinking more is more.
But with this cream, simplicity is your superpower.
❌ Don’t layer with retinoids
This cream already contains purifying and rebalancing actives. Adding a retinoid on top (or underneath) risks over-sensitizing the skin. Save your retinoids for off-nights.
I often build alternating routines for clients who want both, just not together.
❌ Avoid strong exfoliants simultaneously
P50 is more than enough exfoliation. Skip the scrubs, glycolic masks, or salicylic spot treatments on the same night.
When your skin barrier is inflamed, breakouts take longer to heal. Trust me, less irritation means faster results.
❌ Don’t combine with occlusives
This isn’t the time for slugging. Crème Dermopurifiante is breathable, matte, and designed to regulate, not trap moisture.
Layering heavy balms or thick oils on top suffocates the formula and can trigger more congestion. Keep your finish light and clean.
