If you are a skincare junkie, it’s most likely that you have heard of the holy grail of Biologique Recherche – the lotion P50 line.
This magical liquid in a bottle has a cult following because of the wonders it can do. It purifies, rebalances the pH, and hydrates the skin.
So what’s in it?
It contains a plethora of acids, niacinamide, vinegar, and a long list of extracts.
If you’re curious about the percentage, that’s only found in BR’s secret recipe book. And surprisingly, despite the formulation remaining to be a mystery, people still clamor for it.
However, there are different kinds of P50.
Which should you use?
Lotion P50/P50 1970
This classic is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types. The stinging and redness are quite remarkable because of the low pH (2.5 to 2.9) and bonus extracts such as myrrh, myrtle, and onion.
Lotion P50T/W
If you want to give P50 a try but don’t want to go all-in because of skin sensitivity, this might be a better option for you. Both do not contain phenol and BHA. However, P50T might be slightly gentler because of the absence of PHA. But overall, the difference is very tiny.
Lotion P50 PIGM 400
If you want to lighten dark spots or marks, Lotion P50 PIGM400 contains a bonus of extracts that can even out your skin tone without irritating the skin. It has a friendly pH of 4 to 4.5 but still does the job of purifying and exfoliating.
