The TRIO Blemish BHA Face Wash helps control sebum and unclogs pores. Great for the improvement in appearance of acne, red marks and brown marks (3 blemishes). Contains:

• • Salicylic acid
  • Niacinamide
  • TrioBlitz TM

Why is it for skin of colour?

• • 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
