Lauded as a “facial in a bottle”, P50 is the hero product of the iconic French skincare line Biologique Recherche. P50 is known for its ability to balance the pH of the skin, purify the pores, and reveal a fresh, radiant complexion.
This cult-classic toner is not one size fits all, though. To ensure that your skin receives the best results, Biologique Recherche has created six versions of P50 so that you can use the one best tailored to your skin type and concerns.
Lotion P50 1970
The most loved and widely used version of Biologique Recherche’s exfoliating lotions, it boasts a wide range of benefits creating an all-encompassing toner to regenerate and re-condition the skin with powerful AHA’s, BHA’s, botanicals, minerals, and vitamins. Ideal for normal, thicker, oily, acne-prone skin types looking for the highest level of actives in the range of lotions. It aids in speeding up cellular turnover, purifies the pores, balances the surface pH, fortifies the epidermis, and increases the efficacy of your skincare routine. Great for anyone struggling with blackheads, whiteheads, or acne due to the antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities of phenol.
- Not suitable for pregnancy
- Due to the nature of the product, slight tingling is normal upon application.
Lotion P50
This multitasking liquid exfoliant gently purifies, balances, and re-conditions the skin. With higher concentrations of actives, Lotion P50 aids in increasing cellular turnover, regulating sebum production, and balancing the skin’s pH. The addition of antimicrobial sulfur and soothing botanicals make this ideal for normal, oily, thicker, and acne-prone skin types looking for more exfoliation and conditioning. With consistent use, the skin will begin to properly fulfill its protective functions and enhance self-regeneration.
It is an essential step in any routine to increase the efficacy of your products while visibly improving the look and feel of the skin. Skin will be left more balanced, matte, smooth, and healthy.

- This formula is safe for pregnancy and nursing
Lotion P50 V 1970
A vitamin-enriched version of the original, this medium-strength acid toner gently exfoliates dead skin, balances the skin’s pH, regulates oil production, and adds hydration. With more botanical extracts, this lotion is ideal for normal, dry, mature, and devitalized skin types in need of replenishing lipids, and restoring the skin’s barrier function. The yeast extract that is specific to the P50V formulas improves the appearance of fine lines and the texture of the skin. With the addition of phenol in this 1970 version, you are also given more antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities as well. With continued use, the skin will be noticeably more balanced, hydrated, plump, and soft.
