Lotion P50 corps

EXFOLIATING + PURIFYING BODY LOTION

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Corps brings the philosophy of the iconic Lotion P50 to the body, with an exfoliating formula specifically adapted to the thicker epidermis found below the neck.

Combining multiple exfoliating acids with purifying and toning ingredients, it helps remove accumulated dead surface cells, refine rough or uneven-looking texture and leave the skin feeling smoother, softer and better prepared for the body products that follow.

Its convenient spray format makes it easy to target larger areas as well as commonly rough zones such as the arms, legs, back, elbows, knees and heels.

Lotion P50 Corps is particularly interesting when your facial skincare routine is beautifully considered — but the skin on your body has been getting considerably less attention.

Skin Instant:

Recommended for all Skin Instants according to Biologique Recherche.

Particularly useful when the body is experiencing:

• Rough or uneven-looking texture
• Accumulated dead surface cells
• Dull-looking skin
• Dry, rough elbows or knees
• Bumpy-looking texture on the arms or legs
• Congestion on the chest, shoulders or back
• Visible ingrown-hair-prone areas
• Skin that feels less smooth or refined
• A need for more effective preparation before body serums, creams or oils

Benefits:

• Provides targeted exfoliation for the thicker skin of the body
• Helps remove accumulated dead surface cells
• Smooths rough and uneven-looking texture
• Purifies the surface of the epidermis
• Helps improve overall skin softness
• Promotes a more refined-looking body texture
• Helps tone and rebalance the appearance of the skin
• Prepares the skin for body serums, creams and oils applied afterward
• Spray format allows easy application over larger areas

Why Does the Body Need a Different P50?

The skin on your body is not identical to the skin on your face.

Biologique Recherche notes that the average thickness of body skin is approximately 0.6 mm, with considerably thicker areas including the upper back, palms and soles.

That difference matters.

Areas such as:

• Elbows
• Knees
• Heels
• Upper arms
• Back
• Legs

can accumulate dead surface cells and develop roughness differently from facial skin.

Lotion P50 Corps therefore uses the fundamental exfoliating philosophy of Lotion P50 with reinforced exfoliating action designed specifically for the body.

How to Use:

Shake before use.

1. Spray Lotion P50 Corps over the areas of the body you wish to treat.
2. Apply using gentle upward smoothing movements until distributed over the skin.
3. For a stronger physical exfoliating effect, follow the same gentle movements using the Biologique Recherche Body Massage Glove.

Pay particular attention to rougher areas such as:

• Elbows
• Knees
• Heels
• Upper arms
• Legs
• Back

Massage gently. More friction does not mean better exfoliation.

Follow with your appropriate body serum, cream or oil.

Avoid contact with the eyes.

Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after application.

Do not apply to scratched, irritated or compromised skin.

Do not apply to children's skin.

For external use only.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

Lotion P50 Corps is one of those products that makes you realize how much attention we give the skin on our face while almost completely ignoring the skin from the neck down.

We think about it when someone tells us:

• “My arms always feel bumpy.”
• “My elbows and knees never feel smooth.”
• “I get congestion on my back or chest.”
• “My legs feel rough even when I moisturize.”
• “I keep getting ingrown hairs.”
• “My body cream just seems to sit on top of my skin.”

That last one is important.

Sometimes adding more moisturizer isn't the answer.

If layers of dead surface cells are creating roughness, improving exfoliation can help create a smoother surface before your body serum, cream or oil goes on.

And because Lotion P50 Corps is an active exfoliating treatment, we don't believe you need to prove anything by using it aggressively.

Gentle and consistent beats aggressive every time.

Lotion P50 Corps vs. Facial Lotion P50

They share the P50 philosophy, but they are not interchangeable.

Facial Lotion P50 formulas are developed around the thinner and more nuanced needs of facial Skin Instants.

Lotion P50 Corps is specifically formulated for the thicker epidermis of the body and contains reinforced exfoliating action.

Think:

• Lotion P50 → face
• Lotion P50 Corps → body

We would not substitute one for the other simply because both have “P50” in the name.

Lotion P50 Corps for Rough + Bumpy Skin

If your arms or legs feel rough or visibly bumpy, surface-cell accumulation may contribute to that uneven texture.

Lotion P50 Corps combines several exfoliating components, including:

• Lactic Acid
• Citric Acid
• Gluconolactone
• Sodium Salicylate
• Malic Acid
• Phytic Acid

Together, they help encourage a smoother, more refined-looking surface.

This makes Lotion P50 Corps particularly interesting when your goal is body texture, not simply hydration.

Can Lotion P50 Corps Help Keratosis Pilaris?

Keratosis pilaris — often called “chicken skin” — is a common condition that creates small rough bumps, frequently on the upper arms, thighs or buttocks.

Because exfoliation can help smooth the accumulation of surface cells associated with rough, bumpy texture, Lotion P50 Corps may be useful as part of a body routine where keratosis-pilaris-like bumpiness is a concern.

We would not promise that a cosmetic exfoliating lotion will cure keratosis pilaris.

The more realistic goal is:

smoother texture + less noticeable roughness + better-conditioned skin.

Can Lotion P50 Corps Help Body Breakouts?

Lotion P50 Corps contains exfoliating and purifying ingredients and can be particularly interesting when the back, chest or shoulders experience:

• Congestion
• Clogged-looking pores
• Uneven texture
• Occasional blemishes

However, persistent or significant acne is different from occasional body congestion and may require appropriate professional or medical assessment.

If active blemishes are your main concern, our team can help determine whether Lotion P50 Corps makes sense within the rest of your routine.

Lotion P50 Corps + Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs often become more noticeable where dead surface cells accumulate around the follicle.

Regular, appropriate exfoliation can help keep the skin surface smoother and may help reduce the appearance of bumpiness associated with ingrown hairs.

We particularly think about Lotion P50 Corps for areas such as:

• Legs
• Bikini line
• Underarms
• Areas frequently shaved

Do not apply Lotion P50 Corps immediately onto freshly waxed, scratched, irritated or compromised skin.

Let the skin recover before reintroducing active exfoliation.

Lotion P50 Corps + Body Massage Glove

The Biologique Recherche Body Massage Glove can be used when you want to add a physical massage component to the exfoliating action of Lotion P50 Corps.

The important part is technique.

Use gentle upward movements rather than aggressively scrubbing the skin.

The lotion is already doing the exfoliating work chemically.

The glove does not need to turn the process into cardio.

What Should I Apply After Lotion P50 Corps?

Think of Lotion P50 Corps as your preparation step.

Once applied, follow with the body treatment selected for your concern.

For example:

• Dry or uncomfortable skin → follow with an appropriate nourishing body cream
• Loss of firmness → follow with a targeted body serum
• Stretch-mark concerns → follow with the appropriate Biologique Recherche body treatment
• General softness → finish with your preferred body cream or oil

The goal is to exfoliate first, then give the freshly prepared skin what it actually needs.

Ingredients:

• Lactic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate dead surface cells and improve the appearance of rough texture.
• Gluconolactone: A polyhydroxy acid that provides exfoliating action while also supporting skin conditioning.
• Citric Acid & Malic Acid: Alpha-hydroxy acids incorporated into the formula's multi-acid exfoliating complex.
• Sodium Salicylate: A salicylate incorporated into the purifying and exfoliating formula.
• Vinegar (Acetum): Part of the traditional P50-inspired formula and contributes to its rebalancing character.
• Niacinamide: Vitamin B3 helps support overall skin quality.
• Phytic Acid: Helps support exfoliation and a more even-looking surface.
• Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Orange, Lemon & Sugar Maple Extracts: Botanical ingredients incorporated into the exfoliating complex.
• Birch Bark Extract: A botanical ingredient incorporated into the toning body formula.
• Meadowsweet Extract: Included within the purifying botanical complex.
• Magnesium Chloride: A mineral ingredient characteristic of the Lotion P50 formulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

It takes the core philosophy of Lotion P50 and adapts the exfoliating action specifically for the thicker epidermis of the body.

Is Lotion P50 Corps the same as Lotion P50 for the face?

No.

Although the products belong to the same P50 family, Lotion P50 Corps is formulated specifically for body skin and contains reinforced exfoliating action appropriate to its greater thickness.

Can I use Lotion P50 Corps on my face?

No. Use the appropriate facial Lotion P50 formulation on the face.

Lotion P50 Corps is specifically designed for the body.

What does Lotion P50 Corps help with?

We particularly like it for:

• Rough texture
• Bumpy-looking skin
• Dead surface-cell buildup
• Congestion
• Rough elbows and knees
• Ingrown-hair-prone areas
• Dull-looking body skin
• Preparing the skin for subsequent body care

Is Lotion P50 Corps good for keratosis pilaris?

Its exfoliating acids can help improve the appearance of rough, bumpy texture that may accompany keratosis pilaris.

We would describe it as a texture-smoothing body treatment rather than promise that it cures keratosis pilaris.

Does Lotion P50 Corps help body acne?

Its exfoliating and purifying action can make it useful when congestion and occasional blemishes occur on areas such as the back or chest.

Persistent or significant acne may require a more individualized approach.

Can Lotion P50 Corps help back acne?

It may be particularly useful for improving congestion and uneven texture on the back because the spray format makes larger and more difficult-to-reach areas easier to treat.

If active inflammatory breakouts are significant, we recommend speaking with one of our skin experts before building your body routine around exfoliation alone.

Can Lotion P50 Corps help ingrown hairs?

Regular exfoliation can help maintain a smoother surface around hair follicles and may reduce the appearance of roughness associated with ingrown hairs.

Avoid application directly onto irritated, broken or freshly waxed skin.

Can I use Lotion P50 Corps before waxing?

We would not use an active acid exfoliant immediately before waxing.

While older product descriptions often positioned Lotion P50 Corps as preparation for waxing, Biologique Recherche's current consumer instructions no longer make that recommendation.

Avoid application to freshly waxed, scratched or irritated skin and allow the skin to recover before resuming use.

How often should I use Lotion P50 Corps?

Biologique Recherche's current instructions do not prescribe one universal frequency for every Skin Instant.

At Loshen & Crem, we prefer introducing active body exfoliation gradually and adjusting frequency according to tolerance rather than assuming daily use is appropriate for everyone.

If you are new to exfoliating acids, our team can help you determine a sensible starting frequency.

Do I need to use the Body Massage Glove?

No.

Biologique Recherche says the Body Massage Glove may be used when a stronger exfoliating effect is desired, but Lotion P50 Corps can also be applied using gentle upward smoothing movements with the hands.

Should I scrub hard with the Body Massage Glove?

No.

Biologique Recherche specifically advises that massage movements remain gentle so the epidermis is not harmed.

More pressure does not mean better results.

Should I shake Lotion P50 Corps before using it?

Yes. Biologique Recherche's current instructions state to shake the product before use.

Can I use Lotion P50 Corps on irritated skin?

No.

Biologique Recherche specifically advises against applying it to scratched or irritated skin.

Can I use Lotion P50 Corps after sun exposure?

Avoid applying it to sunburned, irritated or compromised skin.

Biologique Recherche also advises avoiding sun exposure immediately after application.

Can I use Lotion P50 Corps during the summer?

It may be used when appropriate, but because it is an exfoliating acid treatment, sun protection and thoughtful timing become especially important on exposed body areas.

Avoid immediate sun exposure after application.

Should I follow Lotion P50 Corps with moisturizer?

Yes, we particularly like following it with the body serum, cream or oil appropriate for your Skin Instant.

Lotion P50 Corps prepares the surface; the next product provides the targeted treatment or nourishment.

Does Lotion P50 Corps feel sticky?

Some clients notice a slightly tacky finish from Lotion P50 Corps.

Following with the appropriate body cream, serum or oil can make the finished routine feel more comfortable while providing the skin with additional treatment.

Who should use Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Corps?

Biologique Recherche recommends Lotion P50 Corps for all Skin Instants.

We particularly think of it for body skin experiencing roughness, uneven texture, congestion, dead-cell buildup or areas that simply don't feel as smooth as you would like.

Where can I buy Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Corps?

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Corps is available from Loshen & Crem online and at our Edmonton, Alberta boutique.

Our skin experts can also help you build a personalized Biologique Recherche body routine around your texture, hydration, firmness or body-skin concerns.
