The Clarifying Ritual Duo: Masque Vivant + Lotion P50
The Clarifying Ritual Duo pairs two of Biologique Recherche's most iconic formulas—Masque Vivant and Lotion P50—into a single, purpose-built routine for oily, congested, blemish-prone skin. Lotion P50 does the daily work of exfoliating, purifying, and rebalancing the skin's pH, while Masque Vivant steps in as a weekly deep-treatment to regulate sebum, tighten pores, and calm breakouts. Used together, they form a complete clarifying system: one lotion to reset skin every day, one mask to reset it every week.

Purify, Tighten, and Rebalance—From Toner to Mask
A Two-Step Ritual for Oily, Congested, Blemish-Prone Skin
This duo covers both ends of a clarifying routine: Lotion P50 exfoliates and purifies daily, while Masque Vivant delivers a concentrated weekly reset. Together, they target excess oil, congestion, and breakouts without over-stripping the skin.
Key Benefits:
- Exfoliates and Purifies Daily (Lotion P50): Removes dead skin cells and impurities while helping restore the skin's natural acid pH balance.
- Eliminates Excess Sebum (Lotion P50): Helps clear the surface of oil buildup for a more mattified, refined complexion.
- Regulates Oil Production (Masque Vivant): A weekly mask treatment that helps rebalance sebum and reduce shine at the source.
- Tightens and Refines Pores (Masque Vivant): Absorbent clays and witch hazel help visibly minimize the appearance of pores.
- Calms Blemishes and Congestion (Both): Yeast extract, lactic acid, and botanical actives work across both steps to soothe irritation and support clearer-looking skin.
- Boosts Radiance and Absorption (Lotion P50): Preps skin so serums, creams, and the weekly mask can perform at their best.
Why Choose This Duo?
Buying Masque Vivant and Lotion P50 together builds a complete clarifying system rather than a single step. Lotion P50 handles the daily maintenance—exfoliation, purification, pH balance—so skin stays consistently clear between treatments, while Masque Vivant provides the deeper, weekly reset that a toner alone can't deliver. It's the same pairing Aida Bicaj has long recommended for oily, congested, and blemish-prone skin.

How to Use:
- Step 1 (Lotion P50, AM/PM): Moisten a cotton pad and press—don't rub—into clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté. In week one, use upward strokes with a damp pad; from week two on, soak the pad with lotion only.
- Step 2 (Lotion P50): Follow immediately with serums and creams to lock in absorption.
- Step 3 (Masque Vivant, 1–3x weekly): After cleansing (and toning with Lotion P50), apply a thin, even layer of Masque Vivant to face, neck, and décolleté.
- Step 4 (Masque Vivant): Leave on for 15–20 minutes, then lather with cool water and remove using moistened gauze pads. Avoid the eye area.
New to exfoliating acids or facial masks? Start Lotion P50 every other day and Masque Vivant once weekly, building up frequency as skin adjusts. Avoid use on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin, and skip concurrent use with retinoid treatments.

FAQ:
What's included in this bundle?
One full-size Lotion P50 and one full-size Masque Vivant—a complete daily-plus-weekly clarifying system for oily, congested, blemish-prone skin.What order should I use them in?
Lotion P50 is a daily step (morning and/or evening) used after cleansing and before serums or cream. Masque Vivant is a weekly treatment, applied after cleansing and toning, 1–3 times per week.Is it safe to exfoliate with Lotion P50 and use Masque Vivant in the same week?
Yes—Lotion P50 is formulated for daily use and Masque Vivant is a separate weekly step, but if skin feels sensitized, skip Lotion P50 the day you use the mask.Who is this duo best for?
Oily, congested, seborrheic, or blemish-prone skin looking for a complete purifying and rebalancing routine rather than a single product.Can sensitive skin use both?
Both formulas have been tested on skin that includes sensitive types, but as with any new routine, patch test first and introduce one product at a time if skin is reactive.
