Within the Biologique Recherche methodology, cleansing is followed by the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant, then the serums, creams and finishing products selected for your current Skin Instant. A cleanser does not need to do the job of every product that follows it: when blemishes and excess sebum are part of the picture, a targeted serum such as Complexe Iribiol can take over after the Lotion P50.

Why it fits

When blemishes come with excess sebum, Complexe Iribiol picks up where Lait S.R. leaves off: the milk cleanses and removes excess surface sebum, while the serum targets oily, blemish-prone Skin Instants.

Worth knowing

The finer details.

A closer look at your skin, your routine and what goes into the formula.

Biologique Recherche Lait S.R.

Biologique Recherche Lait S.R. is a lightweight purifying cleansing milk designed specifically for combination and oily Skin Instants experiencing excess sebum, shine or congestion.

Its fresh, fluid texture removes makeup, impurities and excess surface oil without leaving a heavy or greasy film behind. Rather than aggressively stripping oil from the skin, Lait S.R. cleanses while helping preserve the skin's natural balance and protective barrier.

Sebum plays an important role in the skin's protective hydrolipidic film, so the goal is not to remove all oil: it is to remove excess sebum, makeup, sunscreen and environmental debris while respecting the skin underneath. That tight, squeaky-clean feeling is not necessarily a sign of a better cleanse.

After cleansing, skin feels fresh, comfortable and clean, with a more balanced, shine-free appearance. It is particularly interesting for anyone who wants the comfort of a cleansing milk but finds traditional rich cleansers too heavy for combination or oil-prone skin.

Why we love it

Lait S.R. is one of our favourite cleanser conversations, because many clients with oilier skin think they need something foaming, aggressive or drying. Usually, we want the opposite. We reach for it when someone's T-zone gets oily quickly, when their skin feels congested but every cleanser leaves them tight, or when they loved a milk cleanser but need something lighter. We especially like it as the foundation of a Biologique Recherche routine for combination or blemish-prone Skin Instants, because cleansing should prepare the skin, not punish it.

Best for

Combination and oily skin

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, don't take it as proof the cleanser is working: tell your esthetician so we can reassess your routine.

How to use

  1. Apply Lait S.R. over the entire face, neck and décolleté.
  2. Emulsify using light smoothing movements, working from the inside outward and from the décolleté upward toward the face.
  3. Remove using wet cotton pads.
  4. Repeat until makeup and impurities have been completely removed.
  5. Follow with the Lotion P50 selected for your Skin Instant, then the serums, creams and finishing products selected for your current Skin Instant.
  6. Avoid contact with the eyes. For external use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lait S.R. for oily skin?

Yes. It is particularly suited to combination and oil-prone Skin Instants where excess sebum, shine or congestion are concerns.

Is Lait S.R. good for blemish-prone skin?

It can be particularly appropriate when blemishes occur alongside excess sebum and congestion. Its primary role is cleansing and rebalancing; active imperfections may call for additional targeted products in the routine.

Does Lait S.R. shrink pores?

No cleanser can permanently shrink or close pores. By thoroughly removing excess sebum and impurities, Lait S.R. can help support a cleaner, more refined-looking complexion. If visible pore size is your main concern, a targeted serum such as Dermopore may be more appropriate.

Will Lait S.R. dry out oily skin?

It is designed to remove excess sebum without disrupting the skin's natural balance. If your skin consistently feels tight or uncomfortable after cleansing, that is something we would want to reassess.

Is Lait S.R. suitable for sensitive skin?

It is not the cleanser Biologique Recherche specifically recommends for fragile or reactive Skin Instants. If sensitivity or barrier fragility is your main concern, Lait Dermo-S may be the more targeted choice.

Should I rinse Lait S.R. with water?

Biologique Recherche recommends removing it with wet cotton pads and repeating the application until impurities are completely removed.

Consultation & reactions

At Loshen & Crem, we want to ensure you have the best possible experience with Biologique Recherche. Before purchasing any Biologique Recherche product, we highly recommend booking a consultation with one of our estheticians. Consultations are available virtually through Google Meet or in person at our Edmonton boutique. An appointment is required.

In the event of a reaction, Biologique Recherche requires photos of the reaction and the product, the lot number found on the product or the bottom of the box, and proof of a consultation with one of our estheticians before they can review the concern.

If you choose to purchase without a consultation and experience a reaction, we will be unable to provide a refund. Our team is always happy to answer your questions and help you select the products best suited to your skin.

Gentle & Refreshing Cleanser

One of my go-to cleansers. I love the lightweight milky texture — it leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean, and comfortable without ever feeling stripped or irritated. Perfect for sensitive skin and everyday use.

good for oily or combination skin

I have an oily t zone especially in the summer and this cleanser works well to gently cleanse the skin without stripping it. I use this year round and have repurchased since they reformulated.

Lait S.R.

Like all the other Biologique Recherche products that I use, the Lait S.R. is really good. Although it says that it is a “makeup remover”, I use it as a regular cleanser and it does a great job, leaving a skin feeling cleansed but still very hydrated and soft. I would buy this again!

Pleasant, gentle cleanser

I have an oily skin type and this is a perfect morning cleanser for me. It feels odd not wash face with anything and I like that this is gentle and not stripping. Texture and scent (very, very mild) are luxe.
The only criticism is that once you get closer to the bottom, the pump can't really get all the product out.

Love love love!

After Lait U was discontinued, I wasn't sure which cleanser to try next. I purchased this cleanser and I have to say I think I love it more than I loved Lait U. It's so gentle yet so effective and always come back to this when I want something reliable. If I am wearing makeup I usually do 2 cleanses with this. Definitely recommend!

Better than Lait U

I was upset when Lait U was discontinued but S.R. turned out to be an even better replacement. Makes the skin look more even.

Great cleanser

A very pleasant facial cleansing gel. It feels very soft, but once you wash it off your skin you will see that your skin is well cleansed.

Sad to see Lait U go

I loved Lait U and used it for years. Was disappointed to see it go but this has been a hit for the summer! Same gentleness but very beneficial for the warmer weather. Curious about the other iteration for sensitive skin days too.

Worth the wait.
