Lotion P50

Lotion P50 from Biologique Recherche is an award-winning and much-loved lotion that acts as a "facial in a bottle". It balances pH, gently exfoliates with AHA/BHA, and stimulates cell renewal. At the same time, it strengthens the skin barrier and refines pores. The product is designed for daily use as an essential part of Biologique Recherche's famous P50 step in the skincare routine.

With a unique mix of lactic acid, salicylic acid, niacinamide, and sulfur, Lotion P50 effectively works to eliminate dead skin cells, regulate sebum production, and improve the skin's resilience.

3 Levels - Customize your routine

Beginner – Gentle start for newcomers
If you are new to Lotion P50, it is recommended to start slowly to allow the skin to get used to the product.

• Cleanse the skin.
• Use a wrung-out gauze pad or a moistened cotton pad. Gently dab the lotion onto the skin.
• Apply only once a day (in the evening) or every other day for a mild introduction.
• Dab the product – avoid rubbing to prevent irritation.

Advanced – For those with some experience
Once your skin is accustomed to Lotion P50, you can upgrade your routine.

• Cleanse the skin.
• Use the product with little to no water on gauze or a cotton pad.
• Apply twice daily, morning and evening.
• Still dab gently to protect the skin barrier.

Expert – Treatment for experienced users
If your skin is fully accustomed, you can intensify the treatment.

• Apply Lotion P50 directly to dry cotton.
• Apply morning and evening.
• Use upward strokes to stimulate the skin.
• Apply extra to areas like the T-zone, where the skin may need more exfoliation.

Is Lotion P50 suitable for sensitive skin?
No, the classic Lotion P50 is not suitable for sensitive skin – for this, Lotion P50W is recommended, which is a milder version.

Should one accustom the skin to P50?
Yes, it is recommended to start with once daily and possibly on damp cotton wool to reduce the intensity initially.

Can it be used in the summer?
Yes – but always with sun protection during the daytime, as exfoliation increases the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation.

Can I combine it with other active ingredients?
Yes, but be aware of over-exfoliation. Please follow your therapist's advice.

How do I know it's working?
You will often experience a tingling sensation the first few times. After a few days, the skin will appear clearer, smoother, and more balanced.
