Why Rescue Spa Curated it

We carry Biologique Recherche Masque Vivant because it’s a true Rescue Spa essential and a long-time client favorite. It’s one of those rare masks that consistently delivers, which is why we’ve used and recommended it at Rescue Spa for over 20 years. When used a few times a week, it helps keep skin looking clear, refined, and bright, and it supports a smoother, more balanced complexion over time.

Size: 3.4 oz

HOW TO USE

Cleanse your face with your favorite cleanser, and follow with an exfoliating toner. Then apply Masque Vivant to face and décolleté and allow to remain for 15 minutes. Remove with wet washcloth. Apply your serums and moisturizer.

*Try adding a pinch of baking soda. The mask will go deeper into the epidermis and get rid of any excess sebum-perfect for oilier skin types as an at home treatment.

*For drier, more sensitive skin mix Masque Vivant with Masque VIP O2.

Please be advised that people with sensitive skin should not use it more than once a week, for those with combination and oily skin, it is recommended to use 2-3 times a week.

Reviews

It STINKS But It WORKS!!!!!

"This masque is hands down the best masque I’ve ever used and trust me I have tried them all. You need to prepare yourself for the smell because it’s definitely not pleasant but the benefits far outweigh the smell so you will get use to it, I promise. The first time my kids and the dogs saw this on my face it scared them lol but now my daughter says, “Don’t go around mom for a while she has that stinky masque on. ” Lol. Once you rinse it off the smell goes away and your left with glowing skin. I have discovered that the products in this skincare brand actually do what they claim to do. You will actually see results and I don’t mind spending more to get more. Six months into using the P50 and this masque my skin has really improved. My skin just looks healthy and clear and I have a glow that’s recognizable by others. I can’t tell you how many women have asked me about my skincare since I’ve been using this line. Its worth the price and in some instances you really do get what you pay for."

Down a star

"This used to be THE holy grail for me. I would wash it off and my face was GLOWING but something has changed in the last 2 bottles I received. It's still a great mask but there has absolutely been some changes to the formulation. This is a disappointing development as the price has continued to increase. While I'll continue to use it, for now, I will be on the lookout for a replacement. Just doesn't feel worth it anymore."

— Michael P. (4/5)

Best mask I have ever used!!

"I have tried so many lotions and potions over the years, many of them have been disappointing. That is NOT this case for Vivant. It is hands down the best face mask I have ever used. Don't hesitate on this one. It is worth every dollar!!"

— Patti K. (5/5)

The best masque in the world

"This mask is amazing any time I need a reset. It was a life saver after I had covid and the virus took a toll on my skin. Also, the different mixes you can do with this masque are endless - for example, it can feel slightly harsh at times, so I keep it as is on my oily areas and mix it with masque vip02 for my cheeks and places I'm a little drier. If I need a good pore clean I mix it with the dermopore serum or baking soda. I also love Rescue Spa's masque vivant challenge, because after all the holiday drinking and eating , my face definitely could use a hard reset."

— Kelly R. (5/5)

Fabulous

"I bought this a few years ago & loved the results immediately I keep repurchasing it along w many other BR products - it gives my skin a glow & plumpness like I just had a facial"

— Vanessa M. (5/5)

Great for spot treatment + controlling acne/oil

"Mid 30s here, very sensitive combo skin, will break out if the wind blows the wrong way. I have to wash my face every night, whether or not I wear makeup, otherwise I'll get at least 1 deep zit and a few whiteheads the next few days. The last few times I forgot to wash my face, I immediately used the samples I saved for traveling and masked for about an hour. No subsequent zits/problems. I stopped buying the full size because I started trying other BR products, but now I'm back to buying it. The key ingredient is faex extract, a type of yeast. Look it up, a great active ingredient not only for short term but also long term collagen stimulation. Re smell, it's unusual but I don't find it gross. Actually became comforting, probably because I know I'm doing my skin a favor by wearing the mask."

— M (5/5)

BR ruining their products

"First BR's beloved creme and serum placenta underwent massive changes, and now their masque vivant. . . so disappointing. Masque vivant used to be one of my favorite products, but BR has updated the formula so the consistency is incredibly runny and almost seems diluted. Whenever I open the cap to the new masque vivant, the product comes seeping out because it is so liquified it will barely stay in the bottle. Horrible update and so baffling why they would make this change. . . probably to cut costs. They seem to be cutting costs left and right and ruining their products in the process. As a longtime loyal customer, I feel very frustrated and disappointed."

— Kinzie B. (2/5)

Stinks

"My wife loves this product for her skin. It looks and smells like actual poo though. Household average of 3 stars."

— Sam D. (3/5)

Watered down formula?

"I’ve been purchasing this mask for years from rescue spa, my latest purchase seems super thin and watered down. Not the usual thick brown formula, but a thin very light brown. Very disconcerting considering the price. ."

— Fiona (2/5)

Best mask

"Complexion is visibly brighter! The smell is similar to vegemite, I actually like it!"
