Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Corps is an exfoliating body lotion that helps to eliminate dead skin cells and regulate sebum secretion. Delivering the same multi-acid philosophy as the iconic Lotion P50 for the face, it resurfaces rough, uneven and dull body skin.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids initiate the exfoliation process at the skin's surface, dissolving the intercellular bonds that hold dead skin cells in place and accelerating their removal to reveal a smoother, brighter skin surface beneath.

Poly-Hydroxy Acids provide a gentler complementary exfoliating action with additional humectant and antioxidant properties that hydrate and protect the newly revealed skin. Beta-Hydroxy Acids penetrate into the follicle to exfoliate from within, reducing congestion and improving the clarity of body skin that is prone to folliculitis or bumps.

Magnesium Chloride and Cider Vinegar restore the skin's optimal pH balance and mineralise the skin, while Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) refines texture and regulates sebum, resulting in smoother, clearer and more even body skin with regular use.

About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded in Paris in the late 1970s by biologist Yvan Allouche and physiotherapist Josette Allouche, Biologique Recherche began as a laboratory for bespoke, high-performance formulas for elite skin professionals. Their medical-grade precision and artisanal formulation, paired with consummate savoir-faire, underpin their reputation for outstanding, clinically proven results.

Biologique Recherche treats skin according to its Skin Instant©, the skin’s precise, evolving state. Each formula is loaded with active ingredients in exceptional concentrations, then prescribed to address those real-time needs. This precision approach corrects imbalances, restores function, and delivers visible, lasting transformation.

Cold-processed actives are the core of Biologique Recherche. Formulated at 18–25°C, this method avoids the 70°C heat of standard processing that breaks down actives. Botanical, marine, and biotechnological extracts stay intact for higher absorption, stronger repair, and better tolerance. Antioxidants, peptides, and enzymes remain stable, ensuring consistent, visible results.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, promoting skin cell turnover and replacing old cells with new, healthy ones. Acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs not only help shed skin but also offer benefits like brightening, clarifying, and anti-ageing, depending on the type used.

Brightening

Brightening your skin means restoring its natural glow. One of the best ways to do this is through exfoliation. By exfoliating, you promote faster skin cell turnover, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, radiant ones. This keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Anti-Acne

Body acne arises from a complex interplay of factors, including hyperkeratinisation that blocks follicles, excess sebum creating a lipid-rich environment, and bacterial overgrowth that triggers inflammation. Combined with friction, sweat, and occlusive fabrics, these processes make truncal acne particularly persistent and prone to post-inflammatory marks.

Anti-body acne formulations are designed to act across these mechanisms. They encourage balanced desquamation to keep pores clear, support a healthier skin flora to limit acne-causing bacteria, and calm the inflammatory cascades that drive redness and discomfort. With consistent use, these products help break the cycle of recurrent blemishes, smooth uneven texture, and reduce visible scarring, gradually restoring clear, balanced, and more resilient skin across the body.

Anti-Bacterial

Anti-bacterial action targets and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria on the surface of the skin, which is especially important for areas like the back, chest, and shoulders that are prone to congestion, excess sweat, and friction from clothing. Anti-bacterial ingredients work by disrupting essential bacterial processes such as cell wall synthesis and protein production, effectively neutralising acne-causing bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes).

These targeted formulas are designed to penetrate the thicker skin of the body, helping to reduce inflammation, calm irritation, and prevent the formation of new blemishes. Over time, this helps to visibly improve the clarity, texture, and overall health of the skin, leaving it smoother, more balanced, and less reactive to external stressors.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-inflammatory body care is designed to soothe, calm, and rebalance irritated or reactive skin. Using targeted actives that reduce inflammation, these formulas provide relief from redness, itching, and discomfort caused by conditions like eczema, keratosis pilaris, or post-shaving sensitivity. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to stress or damage, but when it lingers, it can weaken the skin barrier and trigger flare-ups. These calming treatments help restore balance by reducing swelling, reinforcing the skin barrier, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes for smoother, stronger, and more resilient skin.

Pore Decongesting

Pore decongesting focuses on both clearing and minimising the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and the build-up of impurities within the pore, which can stretch them over time, while ageing further contributes as reduced elasticity makes them more visible. Effective formulations work first to clear the pores—dissolving and removing trapped sebum, debris, and congestion—before regulating oil production and supporting collagen and elastin to improve skin firmness. By addressing both internal build-up and structural integrity, pores can return to a clearer, more refined, and less noticeable state.

Purifying

Purifying skincare is designed to deeply cleanse and decongest the skin by targeting excess oil at its source—within the pores. Rather than simply removing surface shine, these formulations work to dissolve and dislodge sebum, debris, and impurities trapped inside the pore lining, helping to prevent congestion, blackheads, and breakouts. Actives such as exfoliating acids and oil-regulating ingredients penetrate into the pore to effectively “strip out” excess oil, restoring clarity and refining skin texture. By clearing buildup from within, purifying treatments leave the skin feeling exceptionally clean, balanced and visibly smoother.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.\n\nA healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness. Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protective products offer strong protection against harmful UV radiation. They create a defensive barrier on your skin, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, and DNA damage from sun exposure. These products help reduce the risk of photoageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while also supporting your skin’s natural repair processes to minimize the impact of any existing sun damage.

Anti-Redness

Anti-Redness skincare is all about reducing and preventing facial or body redness, which can result from irritation, skin conditions, compromised barriers, and hormonal changes. A targeted approach with multiple strategies works best for tackling redness. Anti-Redness formulations include active ingredients that soothe and strengthen your skin barrier. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties calm inflammation and protect against environmental irritants. Additionally, these ingredients have vasoconstrictive properties, meaning they reduce blood vessel dilation to lessen redness. Together, these actions help achieve a more even-toned, balanced complexion that's less prone to redness flare-ups.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin, offering a variety of benefits. They are mostly derived from plant-based sources. Some of the most common AHAs are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid. Depending on the type of AHA, they can reduce dullness, even skin tone, reduce pigmentation, tighten pores, stimulate collagen production, hydrate the skin and offer antioxidant protection. AHAs are generally less irritating and drying to the skin as they are water-soluble.

Beta Hydroxy Acid

Beta Hydroxy Acid is a chemical exfoliant which penetrates deeply into pores to dissolve debris and dead skin cells. Because BHAs are oil-soluble, anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory, they are particularly adept at treating active, inflamed and infected acne; even cystic acne. Also known as Salicylic Acid, this powerful ingredient is great at sebum-regulating the skin, reducing pores, lightening hyperpigmentation, fighting bacteria and easing inflammation.

Poly-Hydroxy Acids

Poly-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin. However unlike AHAs & BHAs, they consist of larger molecules so they tend to sit on the surface of the skin for longer and penetrate slowly. Therefore, they are particularly good for more sensitive skins. As well as sloughing off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion; this acid is also a fantastic hydrator.

Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium Chloride contains astringent properties, but also promotes skin regeneration by increasing the amount of collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis.

Cider Vinegar

Cider Vinegar is extracted from fermented apples and contains high concentrations of fruits acids. Particularly potent in Acetic Acid, Citric Acid and Malic Acid; Cider Vinegar contains powerful exfoliating, purifying and renewing properties. High in Polyphenols, this ingredient also has significant antioxidant effects, combatting damageing photo-induced free-radicals.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide, is versatile and highly effective ingredient with many benefits. It helps to strengthen skin barrier function and increase water retention by increasing natural ceramide production. It's anti-inflammatory and sebum regulating properties soothe, repair and balance irritated, weakened and acne prone skins. Niacinamide is also a potent antioxidant with protective and brightening properties helping to restore skin's natural glow.

Physical & Chemical Exfoliation

Physical and chemical exfoliation are two popular techniques for removing dead skin cells and promoting a healthier, more radiant complexion. Each method offers unique benefits and targets skin concerns differently, making them key components in any effective skincare routine. Exfoliation helps to improve skin texture, unclog pores, and enhance the absorption of skincare products, leading to smoother, brighter skin.

Physical exfoliation offers immediate results, while chemical exfoliation promotes deeper, longer-lasting effects without the risk of physical irritation. Physical exfoliation involves the use of scrubs, brushes, or cloths with granules that manually slough off dead skin cells from the surface. This method provides instant smoothness but can sometimes cause micro-tears, making it less suitable for sensitive skin types.

Chemical exfoliation, on the other hand, employs acids (like AHAs, BHAs) or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells at a deeper level. This process promotes cell turnover, enhances the skin’s natural renewal process, and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, and dullness without abrasive action, making it gentler for sensitive skin.

Physical exfoliation delivers a quick, refreshed feel, but those with sensitive skin might find it too abrasive. Chemical exfoliation gradually reveals smoother, brighter skin with regular use, and is generally better suited for those seeking a gentler approach with deeper results. Users often notice improved skin clarity, reduced congestion, and an overall glow.

Both exfoliation methods have their place in a skincare routine, offering tailored solutions depending on skin type and needs. By choosing the right type of exfoliation, you can achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion that feels fresh, revitalised, and renewed, enhancing your overall skin health and appearance.
