Which Lotion P50 is right for me?

Biologique Recherche matches each Lotion P50 to a skin type. Lotion P50W is for thin and/or dehydrated skin, Lotion P50V is for skin lacking tone, and Lotion P50 PIGM 400 is for pigmented and dull skin. All three are exfoliating lotions that work with the skin’s natural exfoliation. The name comes from P for peeling and 50 for the two epidermal cycles BR cites. La Suite does not carry the original Lotion P50 (for seborrheic skin). Ask our team if you are unsure.

Skin changes daily based on internal factors, like hormones, and external factors, like pollution and sun exposure. Biologique Recherche developed its Skin Instant© philosophy around the belief that skincare should be personalized to the skin’s constantly changing needs. Biologique Recherche is known for its highly concentrated, results-driven formulations, featuring high levels of botanical, marine, and biochemical extracts, often exceeding 20% in select products. The brand avoids synthetic fragrances and uses cold-processing techniques during formulation to help preserve the integrity and efficacy of its active ingredients.
