Soin VIP O2 is Biologique Recherche’s oxygenating facial treatment designed to detoxify, hydrate, and energize dull, pollution-stressed skin.
Relaunched with a new patented complex and melatonin, it visibly boosts radiance, smooths texture, and resets skin quality in just one session.
If your skin feels tired, dull, or overwhelmed by city life, you’re not imagining it, pollution is suffocating your skin. The newly reformulated Soin VIP O2 from Biologique Recherche is designed to fix that. With cellular oxygenation technology and melatonin, it revives stressed complexions quickly and effectively.
KarinaNYC uses this treatment as part of a full protocol that delivers real, lasting results. Let’s break down what this powerful facial is, how to use it, and how to get the most out of every drop.
What Is Soin VIP O2?
Soin VIP O2 is Biologique Recherche’s oxygenating facial designed to detoxify, rehydrate, and re-energize tired, “off” skin. This isn’t your average facial, it goes beyond surface hydration.
Powered by a patented oxygen complex and melatonin, it triggers cellular respiration, activates mitochondria, and restores your skin’s natural vitality from within.
It’s ideal for dull, grey, or pollution-exposed skin, especially if you’re a frequent flyer or city-dweller. At KarinaNYC, we see consistently powerful results with this treatment.
Step Inside The Facial That Reboots Your Skin’s Energy
This isn’t your basic cleanse-and-mask facial. It’s a thoughtful, choreographed process designed to oxygenate skin from the inside out, where it matters most.
Here’s exactly how it works at KarinaNYC:
1. Pre-Treatment Cleansing: Lait VIP O2
We always begin with a deep cleanse using Lait VIP O2.
This cleanser is gentle, yet packed with oxygenating and purifying ingredients that help lift pollution particles and makeup residue off the skin. If you’ve been out in NYC traffic or on a long-haul flight, this step is non-negotiable. It preps the canvas.
2. Acupressure + French Micro-Massage Technique
This isn’t just for relaxation. These techniques stimulate lymphatic drainage and microcirculation, waking up the skin and preparing it to absorb oxygen more effectively.
It’s subtle, but transformative. Many clients say this is when they start feeling their skin “come back to life.”
3. Application Of The Oxygen Foam
This unique formulation delivers Biologique Recherche’s proprietary oxygenating complex and new melatonin infusion directly to the epidermis. You can feel it working as it fizzes and settles into the skin.
It’s cooling, calming, and energizing all at once.
4. Masque VIP O2 Detox Phase (15 Minutes)
We then layer on Masque VIP O2, a cream-mask that detoxifies and hydrates without irritating sensitive skin. Clients with redness, dullness, or a "grey" tone usually see instant changes during this step.
After 15 minutes, the skin looks visibly brighter, like it just took a deep breath.
5. Finishing Touch: Fluide VIP O2
To seal everything in, we finish with Fluide VIP O2, a lightweight finishing serum that boosts radiance and shields against pollution.
Total Treatment Time: 60 Minutes
The full experience runs about an hour, and trust me, your skin will look and feel transformed when you leave. Radiance. Clarity. Smoothness. I’ve seen it hundreds of times, and it never gets old.
What Does Oxygen Do For The Skin, Really?
Oxygen is essential for ATP production, the energy your skin cells need to repair, regenerate, and function properly. When delivered effectively, oxygen stimulates cellular metabolism, clears out toxins, and makes your skin look healthier and more alive.
Can This Replace My Regular Facials?
Not quite. I consider Soin VIP O2 a reset treatment, something you rotate in when your skin is under pressure (travel, stress, pollution, fatigue).
KarinaNYC builds customized Biologique Recherche protocols for each client, and this facial is one of our most powerful tools, but it works best as part of a full skincare strategy.
How Often Should I Get Soin VIP O2?
For most of our high-commitment clients, here’s the rhythm we recommend:
- Once a month for glow maintenance, especially if you’re already consistent with treatments.
- Every 2 weeks if you’re going through stress, travel, post-cold, or a change of seasons. Think of it as your skin’s recovery day.
- In between facials, support your results with home care: alternate between Fluide VIP O2 and Crème VIP O2 depending on your skin type and needs.
This isn’t about overwhelming your skin. It’s about precision, consistency, and working with your skin’s rhythms.
What Changed in the New VIP O2?
Reintroducing VIP O2 meant pushing skin science further, not just refreshing the label.
The newest formulation features an upgraded Oxygenating Complex paired with melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that supports skin repair and cellular energy. Together, they do more than hydrate or brighten, they help your skin function better under stress.
This evolution builds on everything that made VIP O2 so effective to begin with.
The updated formula enhances oxygen delivery, promotes healthier skin metabolism, and offers a smoother, more radiant finish, especially for skin exposed to daily pollution or fatigue.
Melatonin: The New Secret To Energized Skin
The relaunch introduces melatonin as a new hero ingredient, not just for sleep anymore. On the skin, melatonin acts as:
- An antioxidant powerhouse
- A mitochondrial booster (yes, your cells have little engines that run better with melatonin)
- A calming agent for inflamed or sensitized skin
For urban clients who deal with constant oxidative stress, melatonin helps your skin bounce back faster. I’ve seen it improve tone and texture in clients dealing with burnout, hormonal stress, or even post-laser recovery.
Oxygen-Carrying Technology
BR’s updated formula still contains perfluorodecalin, a sophisticated molecule that helps transport oxygen into the skin.
This is where the true oxygenation happens, deep into the epidermis, where it stimulates ATP production (that’s skin energy, not skincare fluff). And with better oxygenation, you get better absorption from everything else you use.
Clinical Results
If you’re a numbers person, here’s what BR has shared:
- +87% increase in hydration
- -27% reduction in dark circles
- +34% improvement in skin radiance
Are these results consistent for everyone? No skincare product is. But for my clients with urban fatigue skin, pollution, stress, screen exposure, it’s a noticeable reset.
Is The New Version Still Worth It?
Yes, especially if you live in a city, travel often, or feel like your skin just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. But it’s not a miracle in a bottle, it works best as part of a full BR protocol, tailored to your Skin Instant®.
Can I Still Get The Old Formula?
Unfortunately, no. BR has globally phased it out. But at KarinaNYC, we’ve helped clients transition successfully, and in some cases, they prefer the new one.
The key is proper layering and pairing with the right support products (think Serum Colostrum VG if you’re missing hydration).
Glow Not Showing Up? Here’s Why
Let’s talk about something I hear all the time after someone tries Soin VIP O2: “I didn’t get the glow I expected.”
When your skin’s been through stress, pollution, or hormonal shifts, you want that facial to deliver something immediate and luminous. But glow isn’t magic, it’s biology.
“It Didn’t Deliver The Glow.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean the facial didn’t work. Soin VIP O2 is designed to oxygenate and energize the skin from the inside out.
That glow you’re looking for is the result of better circulation, reduced inflammation, and rebalanced skin, not shimmer or superficial dew.
If your skin barrier is compromised or your routine isn’t supporting the results (think: too many actives or the wrong post-facial products), the benefits can be muted.
Melatonin, one of the facial’s updated star ingredients, works deeply and subtly, it supports mitochondrial function and fights inflammation, but doesn’t act like a highlighter.
“It Feels Expensive For A Subtle Result.”
Soin VIP O2 isn’t your average glow-up facial, it’s a deep reset. And yes, it’s an investment.
But what you’re paying for is the synergy of patented oxygen delivery, advanced actives like melatonin, and a technique that supports long-term skin health.
This facial doesn’t just sit on the surface, it boosts cellular function, strengthens your barrier, and builds radiance over time. When done consistently, it becomes a foundational reset your skin can count on season after season.
Before You Book, Here’s My Take
If Soin VIP O2 didn’t meet your expectations, it doesn’t mean it failed, it may just mean your skin needed more time, or your routine needed a tweak.
The oxygen works, the glow builds, and the right rhythm makes all the difference. At KarinaNYC, we’ll help you find that rhythm.
Should You Try It?
If your skin is tired, inflamed, or just off, especially after travel, stress, or one too many late nights, Soin VIP O2 may be exactly what your skin needs to reset.
At KarinaNYC, we work with clients who care about results, not trends. If you’re someone who’s serious about skin that looks rested, radiant, and pollution-proof, this treatment is worth every drop.
Many clients come in saying “VIP O2 just didn’t work for me.” But when we dig deeper, we find issues with layering, mismatched product combinations, or skipped steps. No product works in isolation, especially something this powerful.
That’s why we don’t just sell treatments, we design systems that work for you.
