LSA Beauty Awards 2023: Most Luxe Facial Transforming Toner

LSA Beauty Awards 2023 Most Luxe Facial Toner goes to Biologique Recherche Lotion P50.

There are few products that achieve cult favourite status among beauty enthusiasts and skincare professionals alike. In a sea of trendy viral products, this holy grail toner flies under the radar and is possibly the beauty industry’s best-kept secret: Biologique Recherche’s Lotion P50. 

For the uninitiated, Biologique Recherche is a French artisanal brand founded in the 1970s by Yvan and Josette Allouche. The duo quickly became known for their unique approach to skincare by using active ingredients and developing products specifically for beauty professionals who weren’t satisfied with the products available at the time.

It’s safe to say when it comes to skincare, the French know what they’re doing. Throughout the years, the list of coveted French beauty products is endless, and Biologique Recherche’s Lotion P50 lives up to the cult-like hype.

What makes the Lotion P50 so sought after? It’s not your typical toner or exfoliator. The ‘P’ in P50 stands for peeling. The lotion is a multi-purpose elixir that balances the skin’s pH while exfoliating, resulting in a more radiant complexion. Through gentle daily purification over two epidermal cycles, the epidermis is reborn — mattified, regenerated and brimming with vitality.

Due to its low pH, the P50 has become a holy-grail exfoliator for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. The unique blend of active ingredients is a well-kept secret but the star players are Sorrel, Myrrh Extract, Myrtle and Onion Extract. What do they do? We’ve broken it down below:

• Sorrel: The antioxidant rich plant contains potent anti-bacterial properties.
• Myrrh Extract: A powerhouse skincare ingredient that contains astringent, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Myrtle: Commonly found in face cleansers and facial oil due to its skin balancing and antiseptic properties.
• Onion Extracts: Stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration while being rich in vitamins A, E and C.

While it achieved cult beauty status for its exfoliating and purifying properties, the toner’s ability to balance skin PH is what makes this a game-changer. Biologique Recherche’s exclusive blend of Poly, Alpha and Beta-Hydroxy-Acids fused with potent plant extracts is also available in five different variants. For each of the five variants, the exclusive blend is augmented with specific active ingredients to cater to distinct skin requirements.

The Experience and Application

The lotion’s lightweight and water-like texture absorbs into the skin instantly leaving no residue. You may feel a minor tingling sensation at first. However, the sensation is only temporary. The tingling sensation is heralding the start of the epidermal rebalancing process – a signature effect of the Lotion P50. 

The facial transforming lotion has gained a reputation for its distinct scent – a botanical aroma with a hint of vinegar. The scent is due to Biologique Recherche products being fragrance-free, reflecting the natural essence of their raw active ingredients.

Lotion P50’s journey from inception to global acclaim is a tale of dedication, research and understanding the very fabric of our skin. It’s not just about exfoliation; it’s a commitment to building better skin. 

To put it plainly, it lives up to its hype.
