No trip to NYC for me is complete without a Biologique Recherche facial at Rescue Spa in Flatiron, so it felt right to take my P50 along. It’s called ‘facial in a bottle’ on the Internet, and while it smells like salad dressing, the stories are true. A few swipes before bed and you will wake up with brighter, clearer, more refined skin. The smell, by the way, is thanks to the addition of horseradish and vinegar and the absence of fragrance-masking ingredients (which are a potential irritant). It’s an AHA and BHA formula, so will work on all sorts of ailments from congestion to lines.
