TREATMENT REGIMENS:  BiON has treated hundreds of clinical test patients to determine the most effective product combinations and regimens for each condition and skin type.  These suggested regimens will make it easy to prescribe the correct products, without having to learn by trial and error.

Acne – Oily, Combination or Normal Skin
Light, Moderate or Severe Acne
AM    Antibacterial Cleanser – Apply to damp face, work into lather, rinse off

Note: For severe acne cases Acne Inhibiting Gel can be added to the twice daily
         regimen, following the Salicylic-Glycolic Gel and before the Green Tea/Clay Poultice.
Note:  If the Poultice rolls or doesn't absorb when applied, the Salicylic-Glycolic Gel has been
           applied too liberally and is creating a barrier.
