Lotion P50: The Balancing and Exfoliating Toner for Normal to Combination Skin
Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 is the exfoliating toner that Aida Bicaj has relied on — and introduced to her clients — for nearly three decades. Formulated to purify, rebalance, and strengthen the skin, it dissolves dead cell buildup, restores pH equilibrium, and prepares the complexion to absorb what follows. This is the modern formulation developed after the original phenol-based Lotion P50 1970 was discontinued, delivering the same results with a safer, more compatible profile.
