There are five versions of Lotion P50. Answer three questions and we'll point you to the right one.
Your P50
Lotion P50
The most intense of the five, with the most BHA and the lowest pH. It suits thicker, oily or congested skin, and works on breakouts, rough texture and the marks blemishes leave behind.
My #1 would have to be the iconic P50 lotion, a true facial in a bottle.

How to start
Start every second night. Press it into the skin with a damp cotton round rather than wiping, because the water softens it. Once your skin is comfortable, usually after a couple of weeks, use it every night on a dry pad. Wear SPF during the day.
The gentlest of the classic lotions, for finer, sensitive skin and skin prone to redness. It still resurfaces, but arnica and natural moisturising factors keep the skin calm and comfortable.
P50W is designed to be rinsed off, but I suggest to my clients that they apply it with a dampened cotton round and leave it on the skin.

P50 with vitamins and firming extracts added, for mature or tired skin. It renews the surface and leaves skin looking brighter and more toned.

An ultra-gentle P50 that also helps regulate pigment. It suits sensitive or compromised skin, and skin with sun or hormonal pigmentation, evening out tone over time.

The gentlest way into P50, for thin, intolerant or reactive skin. It exfoliates with as little discomfort as possible, while vitamins hydrate and keep the skin's natural acidity where it should be.
