There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of it.
Have you always been fascinated by the perfect peach skin that all Hollywood stars seem to have? Is it because of the frequent use of expensive serums and moisturizers, or do they visit the botox clinic more often than they admit? It’s really different: it turns out that there is a relatively unknown skincare brand that the rich and famous are completely raved about.
Astonishing results
From Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Lopez and from Victoria Beckham to Naomi Campbell: almost all Hollywood stars swear by Biologique Recherche (BR for short). This French brand does not believe in influencer deals or big campaigns. After all, the astonishing results of their products are their showcase. This appears to be true among celebs, because all stars know it. Biologique is ‘just’ a small French family business, which happens to sell excellent care products.
How come the products are so good? Plant, biomarine and biotechnological extracts are used in very high concentrations – more than 20% in most products. The use of synthetic fragrances is excluded to preserve the integrity of the formulas and avoid any negative reactions. The original structure of the active ingredients is also preserved as much as possible by making maximum use of cold processing in the formulas.
Extremely personal approach
BR was founded about half a century ago by a French doctor, a physiologist and a biologist. The target? Creating professional products based on scientific formulas that can drastically improve the skin. The founders state that every skin is unique and that an extremely personal approach is necessary. For this reason, the product line has more than fifty (!) products, each of which is aimed at a specific problem or skin condition. The lotions, cleansers, masks and serums are aimed at giving you the best possible skin.
P50 lotion
The P50 lotion is without a doubt Biologique Recherche’s most popular product. This lotion is even called ‘life changing’. But what makes this product so popular? Actually, the P50 lotion has more of the texture of a toner. It is an exfoliant consisting of a whole range of active ingredients, which are mixed according to BR’s secret formula. There are several versions of this lotion on the market, in the US there are two variants and in our country there are five. Depending on which version you have, the product contains BHA, AHA and PHA, which is lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid and gluconolactone. This spicy cocktail of ingredients works like a chemical peeling, helping to restore and renew the skin. In fifty days (what’s in the name) you will have radiant, smooth and fresh skin as a result!
You apply the P50 lotion after cleansing and before hydrating the skin. A small sidenote to this beloved product is the scent. Unfortunately, the product does not smell like flowers, but rather like a sour dairy factory. That’s because the formula is unscented. Your face may also tingle or even sting when you apply it. No worries, because it only indicates that the PH value of your skin is unbalanced. After a few weeks of applying it, your skin will be back in balance and this feeling will disappear.
Try it yourself
Would you like to try this brand that is so loved in Hollywood for yourself? In the Netherlands, the products and treatments are available in only three places, namely Haarlem, Amsterdam and The Hague.
You can have your face treated or have a scan made of your skin, so you know exactly which products are best for you. If we have to believe the stars, it is definitely worth a visit to one of these cities!
