A cult favourite

  • A transformative toner

    Lotion P50 is so much more than an exfoliation toner, or lotion as Biologique Recherche describes it as. It is hydrating, balancing and purifying while preparing the skin for your following skincare routine.

  • Two skin cycles

    The name of the Lotion P50 line is derived from “P” for peeling and “50” because it takes 2 epidermal cycles, lasting 25 days on average, to achieve the first level of epidermal reconditioning required to purify the skin.

  • An effective acid based treatment

    With AHA, BHA & and PHA derived from fruits and onions, Lotion P50 offers a gentle yet highly effective exfoliator. No phenols, perfumes or preserving ingredients added.

Lotion P50 in detail 🔎

Longer description

Lotion P50 by Biologique Recherche is a cult-favorite exfoliating toner renowned for its transformative effects on skin texture, clarity, and radiance. Developed in the 1970s, its name reflects its purpose: “P” for “peeling” and “50” representing the 50 days—two full skin cycles—needed to achieve optimal results.

Key Benefits


▪️ Combines AHAs (lactic, citric, malic acids), BHAs (salicylic acid), and PHAs (gluconolactone) to gently remove dead skin cells, refine texture, and promote cell turnover.

▪️ Regulates sebum production, tightens pores, and maintains the skin’s natural acidic pH, supporting a healthy microbiome and reducing breakouts.

▪️ Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and phytic acid help fade dark spots and improve overall skin tone.

▪️ Botanical extracts like burdock, myrrh, and onion provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, calming irritation and reinforcing the skin barrier.

▪️ Despite its exfoliating power, Lotion P50 includes hydrating agents like glycerin to maintain moisture balance.

How it works

Lotion P50’s acid blend gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing for their removal without harsh scrubbing. This process accelerates cellular renewal, leading to smoother, more luminous skin. The formula’s low pH helps preserve the skin’s acid mantle, crucial for defense against environmental aggressors. Additionally, ingredients like niacinamide and magnesium chloride support barrier function and reduce inflammation, making it suitable for various skin types.

How to use Lotion P50

1: The 1st week: Apply the lotion with a damp cotton pad, dabbing over the face, neck and décolleté.

2: The following days: soak a cotton pad with just lotion

Expert tips

When introducing Lotion P50 into your skincare routine, it's essential to acclimate your skin gradually to its potent exfoliating ingredients. This approach minimizes the risk of irritation and allows your skin to build tolerance effectively.

First week: Dilute the lotion by applying it with a damp cotton pad. Gently dab it over your face, neck, and décolleté using upward strokes

Subsequent weeks: Apply the lotion directly to a dry cotton pad and gently press it onto your skin.

Frequency: Begin by using Lotion P50 every other evening. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase to nightly application.

Please note:

These are general recommendations. You might get other instructions by our skin therapists adjusted to your skin type and its needs. As each Lotion P50 is highly active with different effects beside the exfoliating one, we recommend you to schedule a consultation before ordering a Lotion P50.
