Do You Really Need Biologique Recherche P50?

My Unfiltered Thoughts

First of all, I just want to thank you for supporting this project—whether you’re a paid or free subscriber. After years of feeling uninspired by the excess and sponcon in the industry, this Substack space has rekindled a love affair with beauty I’ve had since childhood. And I thank you for being a part of it!

I’m especially grateful to the publicists in my life who have subscribed to this endeavor—which is a thoroughly non-transactional move, as I’m only writing about things I’m buying myself for the first time or to re-up after receiving a sample sometimes years ago. That’s a long game to play for a transactional move.

Anyway! Biologique Recherche P50 Lotion. You’ve likely heard of it being hailed as a facial in a bottle. It skyrocketed to cult status over a decade ago, being featured regularly in magazines, blogs and sites. It’s been in and out of my own beauty rotashe.
