Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400 – Brightening Exfoliating Toner for Hyperpigmentation

Reveal a brighter, clearer, more even complexion with Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400, a targeted exfoliating toner designed to improve the appearance of dark spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone.

Part of the iconic Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 collection, this specialized brightening formula combines gentle chemical exfoliation with antioxidant-rich botanical extracts and skin-refining ingredients to promote a visibly smoother, more luminous complexion.

Unlike traditional facial toners, Lotion P50 PIGM 400 works on multiple levels to exfoliate, purify, tone, and brighten the skin while helping reduce the appearance of pigmentation irregularities.

A Targeted Solution for Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation

Sun exposure, aging, blemishes, and environmental stress can contribute to uneven pigmentation and a dull complexion. Lotion P50 PIGM 400 addresses these visible concerns with a carefully balanced combination of exfoliating acids and brightening active ingredients.

Its vitamin-enriched formula helps remove accumulated dead skin cells, refine skin texture, and diminish the appearance of existing dark spots. With consistent use, skin appears clearer, smoother, and more evenly toned.

Advanced Exfoliation Meets Brightening Skincare

Lotion P50 PIGM 400 features a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), and polyhydroxy acid (PHA) to encourage gentle surface exfoliation and support natural skin renewal.

Niacinamide, vitamin C, phytic acid, and selected botanical extracts complement the exfoliating action to help improve visible discoloration and enhance skin radiance.

The formula also helps purify congested skin, refine the appearance of pores, and maintain a balanced-looking complexion.

Best Suited For: Hyper-pigmentated skin, dull uneven skin tone, skin in need of exfoliation and treating dark spots, sun spots and hyperpigmentation

This Lotion P50 PIGM 400 formula does NOT contain the ingredient phenol.

Lotion P50 PIGM 400

This is a wonderful addition to my BR regime. I use the P50 PIGM 400 in the morning before my Crème Derma RL. Then my BR foundation serum #2. I'm mid-60s, and my skin looks amazing!

Been using for a month

So far I like it. I use the P50 before bed and the P50V in the mornings. I have been using for exactly one month, now, religiously. I do not mind the tingle or the smell. My skin is still purging, in various areas though the blemishes are gone in a day. I have read it can take up to 90 days to really see a difference and am waiting for more time to go by. My skin tone seems to be evening out though I have sun damage on my cheeks and am not sure if this stuff will make those spots lighter or not. Skin itself seems to be of a softer texture. For reference, I am mid forties with olive skin.

Amazing Customer Service, Amazing Products

I have recently started using Biologiaue Recherche products and am super impressed. My aesthetician recommended P50 Lotion, Extraits Tissulaires (Serum), Creme Dermopurifiante and the Mask Vivant - all of which I was able to find at Paul Labrecque!

The products have been amazing and I’ve already noticed a difference in my skin after 3 weeks of usage. The experience with Paul Labrecque was equally amazing. The customer service felt personal (being able to speak to someone to discuss the details of my order) and the products arrived very quickly. They even sent a few extra travel size products for me to try! Overall very happy.

HOLY GRAIL- LOTION P50 PIGM 400

I have never used the words HOLY GRAIL to describe skincare products because I had never found a product that I couldn't live without....until now. Lotion P50 PIGM 400 has been a game changer for my skin. I have mature, textured skin with hyperpigmentation. After using this, I could see a difference within a few days. My orange peel textured skin is starting to smooth and brighten and my hyperpigmentation is fading nicely. I am excited to see the results after I finish the entire bottle.

Going forward, I will only order from Paul Labrecque Salon. The shipping is free and super fast and I received a generous amount of samples with my order. I am grateful for the samples because it allows me to try new products before I buy. Biologique Recherche ain't cheap!!! So samples are life!!!

Lived up to the hype

I am a 28 year old female who was so lucky and obtained melasma on my forehead after having my daughter two years ago. That’s what I get for laying in the sun for so many years. Too many times, I’ve been able to get a golden glow without repercussions and it finally caught up with me-on my face! I have been using prescription retin a 0.05% for the past year and a half and have been committed to luxury skincare brands since I was a teen. I’ve used skinceuticals, obagi, vi derm, la prairie, la mer, and much more. I am a seasoned chemical peel enthusiast and enjoy a good chemical exfoliation to rid the build up of dead skin cells along with dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, photofacials, hydrafacials, and light therapy to combat aging. I was very excited to find the P50 1970 and P50 400 PIGM at the Paul Labrecque online store. The shipping was lightening fast-2 days and I received my products! Not only that, but they included some yummy samples. I received the Creme dermo-purifiante and vip o2 cleanser. I am a new customer, so I was so impressed not only with the fast shipping, but the free samples included! I have incorporated both the P50 1970 and P50 400 PIGM into my routine without any irritation. I have already seen a difference in the first week that I have been using them. I still use my retin-a and do find the new P50 additions to be quite complimentary to my skin care routine! This is a great buy and I will be back to shop online at Paul Labrecque again. Thank you so much!

P50 Lotion Combination Skin

This is a remarkable skincare product which is a toner and an exfoliant all in one product. It does sting a little due to the acids and vinegar. I use this A.M and P.M. daily to fight free radicals, black and white heads and remove dead skin from my face and neck.

Hi Ellen, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Lotion P50 has become a helpful part of your routine and that you’re enjoying its toning and exfoliating benefits. It has been a bestseller for a reason at Paul Labrecque for over 26 years! Thanks for choosing Paul Labrecque!

Excellent toner for sensitive skin!!

I am extremely happy with the results of Lotion P50 T!! I love the concept of Lotion P50 but I have normal to dry skin that is very sensitive. I have tried Lotion P50 V and P50 W and both were too strong for my skin. I decided to try Lotion P50 T, I purchased the 1.7 oz first, and it has been amazing! My skin feels softer and looks brighter. I did not experience any burning or dryness. I am glad to find a Lotion P50 that works for my skin!!

Hi Timothy, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy Lotion P50T has been a gentle fit for your sensitive, normal-to-dry skin and that you’re seeing softer, brighter results. Enjoy! We are loving this new P50 formula. Gentle but effective.

I’ve use the original p50 1970 before and loved it but since they don’t make it anymore I’m back for the P50. This is a staple for me. Best toner I have ever used.

So Happy With My Purchase

It's a slow start to introduce my skin to this product, but worth it. I purchased this exfoliator for my sensitive, acne prone skin, and have noticed a decrease in jaw-line acne just over the two plus weeks I've been using it. I've tried P50 (the original) in the past and my skin was too sensitive for it, but this time around, I've been using it 2x a week and the sensitive formula, and so glad I did. I'm very hopeful that long term this will help keep that stubborn acne at bay.

Sticky

I havent used this long enough to see results yet but initial use is okay. I’m a p50 1970 purist and this PIGM 400 formula is definitely different. Not a huge fan of the slightly sticky dry down . But it’s not awful. I can get past it if the results show; so time will tell. But for now it’s “okay/average”
