It’s always hard to say goodbye to a beloved skincare staple, and for many, Biologique Recherche’s Lotion P50 1970 has been just that. For years, P50 1970 has become an integral part of our skincare routines, whether that be personally or professionally. But as the industry evolves, so must our skincare choices. Jamie Rosen Contributing Editor at Town & Country Magazine reveals “How to fill the Void Left by the Ultimate If You Know, You Know Product”.
Danuta Mieloch on the Discontinuation of Lotion P50 1970—What It Means for Skincare Lovers
For those who swore by Lotion P50 1970, the panic set in immediately. Danuta Mieloch, founder of Rescue Spa, has been fielding “thousands and thousands” of emails, calls, and chats from devoted users scrambling to stock up.”
“It’s the end of an era,” Mieloch says, acknowledging that while this cult-favorite formula has been banned in Europe for over a decade, its final farewell in the U.S. has left many wondering—what now?
For those looking for a replacement, there’s good news. Danuta reassures that the Lotion P50 still contains key ingredients like lactic acid, sulfur, and salicylic acid—just without the now-phased-out phenol. And for those who want to rethink their routine altogether, she suggests that maybe this is the perfect time to scale back.
“Clients are using too many things,” she explains. “Their skin is saying, ‘Hold it, I just want to breathe and live and enjoy my time.’ It’s too much!
As for her go-to? Danuta is turning to Danucera D22 Tonic, as well as P50 PIGM for those focused on hyperpigmentation.
A Superior Alternative: Danucera D22 Tonic
D22 Tonic, a Lotion P50 1970 Alternative—a refined, modern alternative that delivers powerful exfoliation while prioritizing skin health.
D22 Tonic offers a gentle yet effective approach to exfoliation. Free of phenol and other harsh additives, this advanced formula helps refine pores, brighten the complexion, and restore balance—all without compromising the skin’s barrier.
Mieloch believes this shift presents an opportunity to rethink our approach to skincare. “Clients are using too many products at once,” she explains. “Skin needs balance—it’s time to step away from the overuse of aggressive treatments and embrace formulas that support long-term skin health.”
For those who previously relied on P50 1970, Danucera D22 Tonic is the perfect transition product, offering professional-grade exfoliation in a more refined, skin-friendly formulation.
