Biologique Recherche (BR) is a name that will make any skincare junkie foam at the mouth.
Nestled in a quaint little alleyway on the Champs Elysees in Paris, this spa is the point of origin for many cult status skincare products, namely the P50 chemical exfoliating toner range.
This summer I had the good fortune of fulfilling a lifelong fantasy of visiting Paris. I’m semi-embarrassed to admit that my preparation for the trip consisted of reading Caroline Hirons’ blog and watching Lisa Eldridge’s French Pharmacie Skincare video. Essentially every product they mentioned ended up on a rather hefty shopping list. I was on a mission to hit up as many French pharmacies as possible. I’m proud to say that I successfully accomplished my mission.
I made a beeline for the BR spa upon arriving and was immediately impressed. The ladies were very helpful, asked me about my skin type, and were kind enough to give me a couple of samples of the Crème Dermopurifiante.
Of course, I purchased the P50 toner, but I want to use it consistently for at least a month before writing a review on it. In the meantime, let’s talk about the Crème Dermopurifiante. This very thick cream moisturizer is intended for oily skin. It’s meant to calm, moisturize, and reduce oil in sensitive/oily/acne prone skin.
