TRIO Blemish Face Wash 150ml

TRIO Blemish BHA Face Wash 150ML

Helps control sebum & unclogs pores. For the improvement in appearance of acne, red marks and brown marks (3 blemishes).

Contains:

• Salicylic acid
• Niacinamide
• TrioBlitz ^TM

People of skin of colour with oily skin are more likely to get all 3 blemishes: Acne, Post Inflammatory Erythema (red marks) and Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (brown marks).

We need to tackle all 3 processes simultaneously. TrioBlitz TM is a trademarked complex in our TRIO Blemish line to help achieve this.

Irritation can be more problematic for darker skin tones, and therefore it should be avoided where possible.

This product is 'NAFE SAFE' to minimise chances of irritation i.e. No Denatured Alcohol, No Fragrance and No Essential Oils.

For people with oily, acne prone skin & 12 years and over.

Not for persons with a history of reactions to skincare products or overly sensitive or damaged skin.

> KEY INGREDIENTS: 

Niacinamide (controls sebum)

1. How long would TRIO Blemish range products last for?

This will vary for each product and person, however, if usage guidelines are followed, the average duration may be 6-8 weeks approx.

2. Is the TRIO Blemish suitable for pregnancy & breastfeeding?

The range is suitable for pregnancy except for the 'PM Gel Moisturiser' (contains Vitamin A). If unsure or your circumstances vary, please check with your doctor.

3. Is the TRIO Blemish range suitable for all skin types?

The FULL product range is NOT suitable for dry or sensitive skin.

See 'Suggested Product Routines' tab below for modified/partial TRIO Blemish range routines in the cases above.

4a. What if I have combination skin (acne prone, hormonal acne & non-acne prone)?

Please try the following protocol if your skin is normal/dry in most areas and oily on the T-zone: Dr V Combination Skin Routine

4b. What if I have combination skin plus rosacea?

Same routine as (4a) above on all other areas but do not exfoliate on rosacea area please.

5. How do you double-cleanse / remove make-up with this range?

Since it is not recommended to use an oil cleanser with oily skin, the TRIO Blemish Face Wash should suffice for make-up removal: use it twice as a double cleanse for heavier make-up.

6a. Can you use the TRIO Blemish range with Dr. V Hyperpigmentation kits?

Yes, using the following protocol:

MORNING:

1. Wash with TRIO Blemish Face Wash
2. Apply TRIO Blemish Exfoliator
3. TRIO Blemish AM Gel Moisturiser.

EVENING:

1. TRIO Blemish Face Wash
2. TRIO Blemish Exfoliator,
3. Apply Dr. V Facial Pigmentation Kit to target pigmentation areas.
4. TRIO Blemish PM Gel Moisturiser (optional - you may find the FP Kit creams hydrating enough)

6b. Can you use the TRIO Blemish range with Dr. V Antioxidant Power Serum or Cera Pep?

It's not necessary to use the serum as there is significant ingredient overlap, but you can use it after the PM Gel if you wish.

Cera Pep can be added after PM Gel if your skin feels dry sometimes and is not very oily/acne prone.

6c. Can you mix & match the TRIO Blemish range with Dr. V Daily Range or 3rd party products?

Yes, you can interchange parts of the TRIO Blemish routine with products from other brands or Dr V Daily Range, for example if you only want to use TRIO Blemish cleansers but moisturisers from elsewhere and vice versa.

7a. Can I still use Tretinoin/ topical Acne medications (Duac, Adapalene etc) with TRIO Blemish range?

Yes, same as Facial Pigmentation kit protocol above, but swapping the kit with Tretinoin/medication, and SKIP the evening Exfoliator application.

So the protocol would be:

MORNING:

1. Wash with TRIO Blemish Face Wash
2. Apply TRIO Blemish Exfoliator
3. TRIO Blemish AM Gel Moisturiser.

EVENING:

1. TRIO Blemish Face Wash
2. Tretinoin or Acne medication
3. TRIO Blemish PM Gel Moisturiser

Note: please avoid if skin is sensitive or becomes sensitive after combining these products.

7b. Can I use the TRIO Blemish range whilst on Isotretinoin/Roaccutane?

Only some of the products, you can use the TRIO Blemish Face Wash & AM Gel Moisturiser.

Please do not use the PM Gel or Exfoliator.

7c. Should I still use Niacinamide, Ceramides, Retinol, Vitamin A/C/E serums from other skincare lines in conjunction with the Dr V. TRIO Blemish Range?

No, nothing else required, it's all in the range. You can try other products with the range, however only you know your skin and what it can tolerate, so some trial & error may be needed.

8a. Can TRIO Blemish be used for body acne, such as on the back?

Yes. For back acne, a possible routine could be:

1. TRIO Blemish Exfoliator (leave on for at least 20 mins).

2. Followed by Deep Cleansing Body Wash

8b. Can TRIO Blemish be used for fungal acne?

Not for fungal acne, please see your doctor for this.

9. Is 'purging' likely?

In rare cases, spots may occur for a few days or up to 6 weeks when you first start usage of TRIO Blemish. This is likely to be 'purging' where the vitamin A in the TRIO Blemish products causes skin cell turnover to increase and bring oil/bacteria up to the skin's surface quicker than usual (in oily/acne prone skin).

10. How long does it take to see results?

You may start to notice beneficial effects in as little as 2-4 weeks, however we advise 8+ weeks to see the full potential, as per the consumer trial results.
