Use 0.5ml of Serum Extraits Tissulaires on clean skin, pressing it into the face, neck, and décolleté until fully absorbed. Best for oily or combo skin that's dehydrated, it hydrates without heaviness and helps regulate oil. When used correctly, it supports barrier strength and smoother texture.
Biologique Recherche’s Serum Extraits Tissulaires is often misunderstood, and misused. It’s not for dry skin, but for dehydrated skin that’s oily, combination, or breakout-prone. At KarinaNYC, we’ve guided thousands through correcting dehydration without clogging pores using this serum. If your skin feels both tight and shiny, or just doesn’t seem to improve with thick moisturizers, this serum could be your missing step. Read on for expert-approved tips and clear answers to your biggest questions.
Serum Extraits Tissulaires: Hydrate Smarter
Serum Extraits Tissulaires is what I call a “training serum”, your skin’s gentle introduction to real hydration, without any oiliness or heaviness.
It’s ideal for oily, combination, or congested skin that still feels dry or tight. Most people reach for thick creams when their skin feels off, but what they actually need is water-based hydration that doesn’t clog.
This serum delivers just that, using Alpine Pink Laurel extract, moisturizing plant sugars, and embryo extract to hydrate the upper layers where water loss begins.
It’s not for lipid-dry or flaky skin, that’s where Colostrum VG or Amniotique VG come in. But if you’re breaking out and feeling tight, this is likely your fix.
Extraits Tissulaires strengthens the barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and primes the skin for stronger actives.
It’s usually the first serum I put my clients on because it balances the skin beautifully and makes every product that follows work better.
How To Apply Extraits Tissulaires For Balanced, Hydrated Skin
After P50, while your skin is still slightly damp, dispense 0.5ml (about 10 drops) of Serum Extraits Tissulaires into the palm of your hand.
Gently press it into your face, neck, and décolleté, no rubbing, no massaging. Just let your skin drink it in. This method keeps the product from evaporating too quickly and ensures maximum absorption where it matters most.
Don’t worry if it feels light, that’s exactly what makes it special.
This serum was designed to hydrate deeply without leaving a trace on the surface. There’s no greasy film, no heavy finish, just balanced, prepped skin that’s ready to absorb whatever comes next.
Used consistently, it helps your skin learn to retain hydration over time, which means less guessing, less oiliness, and more glow.
Why Does This Serum Feel Light, Does It Even Work?
Absolutely. It’s meant to feel light. It hydrates from within, without clogging pores or sitting on top of the skin.
Think of it as training your skin to retain water better over time, not an instant fix, but a lasting one.
How To Build A Routine Around This Hydrating Hero
This is where most clients need real guidance, not everything needs to be used twice a day. Here’s what I recommend:
Frequency Based on Skin Type:
Combination/Dehydrated:Morning and evening. This serum helps regulate oil while hydrating where needed.
Oily/Acne-Prone: Start nightly. If your skin responds well, add mornings.
Sensitive or Reactive: Begin 2–3x per week. If your skin loves it, you can increase slowly.
The Skincare Sequence That Sets You Up for Real Results
1. Cleanser
Start with the right Lait cleanser for your skin instant:
Lait S.R. for oily or congested skin
Lait E.V. for dry, dull skin
Lait Dermo-S for sensitive or compromised barriers
Each one preps the skin without stripping, so you’re starting on a clean, calm canvas.
2. Exfoliant
Apply Lotion P50, choosing the variant best suited to your skin concern.
This step rebalances your pH, gently exfoliates, and clears the path for hydration.
3. Hydrating Serum
Next, press in Serum Extraits Tissulaires. Not too much, just enough to hydrate. Focus on the face, neck, and décolleté. Let it absorb fully.
4. Moisturizer
Choose based on your skin’s daily needs:
Crème Dermopurifiante if you're breakout-prone
Crème Grand Millésime for anti-aging glow
Crème Iso-Placenta if you're healing post-acne or post-treatment
5. Finishing Serum (Optional)
If you need extra protection or glow, finish with:
Serum TEWL to shield and seal in moisture, especially in dry climates
Complexe Royal for a dewy, revitalized finish
Serum Silk Plus for a smooth, mattified finish, ideal for oily or combination skin instants
This is how we layer smarter, not heavier, letting each product do its job without overwhelming the skin.
Timing Tip:
Don’t wait too long between steps. Apply Extraits Tissulaires within 60 seconds of your P50 while your skin is still slightly damp. This is when your skin is primed to “drink in” hydration.
This isn’t a one-and-done serum, it’s a foundational piece in a routine that evolves with your skin. Like I always tell my clients: skincare is like fitness, consistency brings results.
The Glow Doesn’t Happen Overnight, Here’s The Timeline
Extraits Tissulaires works quietly, but powerfully.
It doesn’t shock your skin into changing overnight. Instead, it gently teaches your skin how to retain hydration again. Here’s what you can realistically expect, step by step.
Week 1–2:
You’ll likely notice smoother texture and less tightness. If you’ve been dealing with dry patches or your skin always felt like it needed “more,” this is when that sensation starts to fade.
Your moisturizer will also start to absorb better instead of just sitting on top.
Week 3–4:
Dehydration starts to truly diminish. Those oily zones feel less greasy, and the constant tug-of-war between dryness and shine begins to balance out.
You might not realize how off your skin was until it starts feeling truly stable.
Month 2 and beyond:
Now we’re seeing structural change. Your skin barrier gets stronger and less reactive.
Redness and sensitivity become less frequent, and all your other skincare, vitamin C, retinol, masks, starts working more effectively. This is the moment clients usually say, “Okay, now I see it.”
Is It Normal To Break Out At First?
Yes, but only when you’re layering it with the wrong moisturizer. If you’re still using a heavy or occlusive cream “just in case,” your skin might push back. Stick with lighter options like Crème Dermopurifiante or reach out for a consult if you’re unsure.
You Deserve Skincare That Doesn’t Just Sit on Your Shelf
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Why does my skin feel tight but still oily?”, trust me, you’re not alone.
You’re doing the routines, you’re using the creams, but something still feels...off. That’s because so many people confuse oiliness with moisture.
And when you overload dry-feeling skin with rich moisturizers, you often end up with congestion, breakouts, or just no improvement at all.
Serum Extraits Tissulaires is made for this exact moment. It’s not flashy, it’s not greasy, it’s smart. It hydrates where your skin needs it most, balances without burden, and strengthens your skin from the inside out.
