Featuring build (skincare) b-balm, Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 (PR), tretinoin.
Just please don't use P50 and tretinoin at the same time until your skin has properly adjusted to both of them individually. Which could take months and months.

Do you use your lotion p50 pre Tretinoin ? Thanks my friend

[@sambythecounter]

I rarely use them together - either P50 in the morning and tret at night. Or, I alternate days.

What exactly are the ingredients? I can’t find them listed anywhere.

​@sambythecounter thank you 😊 I am a little worried about the thyme flower/leaf oil and the vinegar. Did you ever find it irritating? I have very sensitive skin and my skin hates a lot of stuff 😂

[@sambythecounter]

@@PsiChotic No, definitely not irritating. Just very replenishing. It is quite a low pH though. When I first started using it, it felt very spicy and tingly on the skin, but I never experienced actual irritation. The brand typically recommends that most people start using P50W which is a little less strong. And they sell mini 50mL bottles which is a good size to start without a huge investment. Oh, and they recommend to stop retinoids and other acids like Vitamin C. Ideally for the full 50 days and then you can re-introduce stuff as tolerated. They also tend to offer a free consult service on their website which is worth doing so they can match you to the right P50 formula.
