You Can No Longer Get This Beloved Skin Care Product In The U.S., But There Are Popular Alternatives

French skin care products have always held a certain je nais sais quoi to beauty lovers worldwide, with many brands setting the standard for effective and innovative ingredients. One such brand, Biologique Recherche, has long been considered the gold standard of powerful luxury skin care, especially when it comes to its wildly popular exfoliating toner, Lotion P50 1970.

Unfortunately for American fans of the brand, this particular toner was discontinued in the U.S. in January, leaving skin care fanatics scrambling for a replacement — it’s considered by many, including grieving beauty fans on Reddit, to be the brand’s holy grail product.

While it remains to be seen if this exact product will resurface with a new formulation, there is hope for those who have long been devoted to this powerful, skin-resurfacing exfoliating toner. There are a number of trusted products that can act as alternatives, including options from beloved beauty brands like Paula’s Choice, The Ordinary, Drunk Elephant and more.
