Masque Biosensible ingredients calm sensitive skin using fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanicals. This BR mask helps reduce redness, dryness, and inflammation while repairing the skin barrier, ideal for rosacea, eczema, or post-procedure recovery.
When your skin is red, reactive, or painfully tight, the wrong product can make things worse.
Masque Biosensible is one of Biologique Recherche’s most beloved solutions for calming inflammation and rebuilding the skin barrier.
At KarinaNYC, we often see clients who are on the verge of giving up, until this mask brings their skin back to life. In this guide, we break down its key ingredients, the science behind its calming effects, and how to use it smartly in your skincare routine.
The Sensitive Skin Struggle Is Real, This Is the Fix
I’ve had clients come in nearly in tears, cheeks on fire, skin so tight it feels like it’s shrinking. They’ve tried it all: oat masks, drugstore “calming” creams, trending serums.
Most of it? Just marketing. Or worse, it makes things worse.
Sensitive skin isn’t a type, it’s a condition. If your face stings at water, flakes under makeup, or turns red after “gentle” products, your skin barrier is in crisis. And no, more actives won’t fix it.
You need a barrier-first solution that calms on contact and rebuilds from within. That’s exactly what Masque Biosensible does. It’s not just soothing, it’s rescue in a jar.
Masque Biosensible: The Ultimate Mask for Sensitive Skin
Masque Biosensible is one of those rare formulas I keep going back to, no matter how many new launches I test. It’s a creamy, luxurious mask from Biologique Recherche that calms reactive skin, deeply hydrates, and supports the rebuilding of your barrier without triggering inflammation.
This mask was designed specifically for those of us dealing with sensitivity, rosacea, or flare-ups from over-exfoliation, weather, travel, or procedures like microneedling and lasers.
Here’s what makes it special:
- It calms redness within minutes using plant extracts like squash and cucumber, perfect for rosacea, eczema patches, or stress-related flare-ups.
- It boosts hydration with hyaluronic acid and marine elastin, so skin looks plumper and feels more comfortable.
- It repairs the barrier with fatty acid-rich oils like grape seed and sacha inchi, without clogging pores.
- It oxygenates dull skin thanks to BR’s proprietary complex, giving that lit-from-within glow we all crave when our skin looks tired or inflamed.
Bottom line: this isn’t a trendy mask you use once and forget. It’s something I consider a “core product” in every sensitive skin routine we build at KarinaNYC.
Breaking Down the Barrier-Repairing Ingredients You’ll Love
If you’ve ever wondered what makes Masque Biosensible feel like an instant sigh of relief for your skin, the magic is in the formula. Every ingredient has a job, and none of it is filler.
This mask was built for fragile skin that’s been through it, and every active is selected to calm, support, and restore without overloading your skin.
Let’s break it down:
Grape Seed Oil & Sacha Inchi Oil: Nourish The Barrier
Hydration is important, but if your lipid barrier isn’t intact, it’s like pouring water into a cracked vase. These two oils are loaded with omega fatty acids and antioxidants that help seal in moisture and strengthen your barrier.
They’re lightweight, non-comedogenic, and a dream for post-acne dryness or retinol irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid & Marine Elastin: Deep Hydration + Bounce
This combo plumps, smooths, and hydrates on multiple levels. Hyaluronic acid draws water deep into the skin, while marine elastin helps hold it there, restoring elasticity and softness.
It’s especially helpful if your skin feels “tight” or papery after traveling or winter weather, something I see often in New York City.
Yeast Extracts & White Clay: Brighten Gently
These actives help detox and clarify without disrupting the barrier. Clients often notice their skin tone looks more even and less blotchy after just one use, and that’s thanks to the brightening but non-stripping action of these two.
Pomegranate Extract: Antioxidant Defense
Pomegranate is rich in polyphenols that protect your skin from free radicals, think pollution, stress, UV exposure. Living in a city like NYC, we’re constantly exposed to these stressors, and this ingredient helps fight back without irritating sensitive skin.
Cucumber & Squash Extracts: Cooling Botanicals
These extracts aren’t just soothing, they’re instantly comforting.
Whether you’re dealing with rosacea flare-ups, post-treatment redness, or plain old weathered skin, this botanical duo cools inflammation like nothing else. I sometimes recommend clients chill the mask before use for an extra boost.
BR Oxygenating Complex: Radiance + Recovery
This is Biologique Recherche’s proprietary secret sauce. It’s designed to increase cellular respiration and oxygen delivery to the skin, basically helping tired, stressed skin breathe again.
I notice a visible brightness in clients who use this mask consistently, especially those with “city skin” that’s lost its glow.
What To Skip When You’re Using Masque Biosensible
If your skin is inflamed, fragile, or just flat-out exhausted, the goal isn’t to “do more”, it’s to do the right things in the right order.
Masque Biosensible is a healing mask, not a workout for your skin. And like any high-performance formula, it needs space to work.
Here’s what I always advise my clients to avoid while using this mask:
Strong Acids (Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic)
Acids can be incredible when used at the right time, but not when your skin is already reactive. Even gentle AHAs can trigger stinging or further compromise your barrier when layered with a treatment mask like this. Give your skin time to recover before reintroducing exfoliants.
Retinol (Unless Alternated Thoughtfully)
Retinoids and Biosensible don’t mix well in the same routine. If you’re using a prescription retinol or even OTC, use Masque Biosensible on your “off” nights. Think of it as giving your skin a reset after actives.
Occlusive Synthetic Oils (e.g., Mineral Oil)
Masque Biosensible already contains beautifully lightweight, barrier-supportive oils. Piling on occlusive synthetic oils can trap heat, clog pores, and dilute the efficacy of the actives. Let the mask breathe and work its magic.
Pro tip: If you’re unsure how to build a compatible routine around Masque Biosensible, we do this every day at KarinaNYC. That’s the beauty of personalized skin coaching, we help you avoid the expensive mistakes.
Pair These With Masque Biosensible For A Calmer, Stronger Barrier
Pairing matters, especially when you’re working with compromised or sensitive skin. These three Biologique Recherche products were practically made to work with Masque Biosensible. I use them personally and recommend them often in my treatment room.
Lait Dermo-S
This is the gentlest cleansing milk in the BR line, and the only one I reach for when a client’s skin is in full-blown crisis mode. It cleanses without disrupting the barrier and sets the stage for Masque Biosensible to do its job.
Lotion P50W
For ultra-sensitive skin that still needs gentle exfoliation, P50W is the only version I trust. Used 2–3x per week, it helps clear buildup without triggering inflammation, and preps the skin beautifully to absorb the mask’s actives.
Serum Biosensible
If you want to level up the soothing effect of the mask, layer this underneath. It’s full of anti-redness and anti-inflammatory actives that calm the skin on contact. I find this combo especially helpful for clients with visible capillaries or rosacea.
Toleskin [M] or [C]
Toleskin [M] is a sterile sheet mask that instantly calms angry, inflamed skin. Toleskin [C] is a calming cream that works deeper on microbiome support. Used with Masque Biosensible, this combo is unbeatable for post-procedure or flare-up care.
These three products, when used together, form what I call the “rescue trio.” Whether you’re battling winter skin, barrier burnout, or just looking to rebuild from years of overdoing it, this is your reset button.
Emulsion Gel Biosensible
This light, comforting emulsion seals in all the moisture and calming actives from your routine. It’s perfect as a final layer after Masque Biosensible, especially in winter or dry climates where your skin needs extra support without feeling heavy.
Emulsion Gel Biosensible S.R.
For oily, sensitive, or combination skin, this emulsion is a dream. Biosensible S.R. calms redness and discomfort while helping balance sebum production.
I love this one for clients dealing with both inflammation and breakouts; it supports the barrier without adding weight or triggering congestion.
Curious? Confused? Here’s What You Should Know First
Over the years, I’ve heard just about every question you can imagine about Masque Biosensible, from first-timers to longtime BR devotees.
Here’s what you really need to know if you’re considering adding this powerhouse mask to your routine:
Can I Use This Mask Every Night?
In a flare-up? Three to four times a week is ideal. That’s often enough to calm inflammation without overdoing it. I’ve had clients use it nightly post-laser or post-flight for a few days, but it’s not meant to be your everyday mask forever.
It’s a treatment, not a moisturizer.
Should I Refrigerate It?
Yes, and I do! Keeping the mask in a skincare fridge (or just a cool drawer) enhances the soothing sensation. Especially during a flare-up or in summer months, the chilled formula feels like heaven on hot, reactive skin.

If you’re here, your skin is probably going through it. Maybe it’s burning. Maybe it’s itchy. Maybe you’ve tried three different creams this month and still can’t get relief.
I know how frustrating that is because I’ve helped thousands of clients out of that same spiral.
That’s why I’m so passionate about products like Masque Biosensible. When used with the right routine and the right hands guiding you, it doesn’t just soothe the surface.
It restores your skin’s ability to protect and repair itself. That’s real healing, and real beauty.
