How does BiON Bacteriostat Cleanser control acne bacteria?
BiON Bacteriostat Cleanser uses 0.5% salicylic acid at a pH of 3.6, which is the effective range for salicylic acid to penetrate pores and reduce the oily, congested environment that acne-causing bacteria thrive in. Oregano leaf extract adds a second layer of defense by blocking interleukin-6 and histamine within the follicle, which helps reduce the inflammatory response that turns a clogged pore into a visible breakout.
Is BiON Bacteriostat Cleanser safe for rosacea-prone skin?
Yes, it is formulated with rosacea-prone skin in mind. Turmeric root extract helps inhibit 5-alpha reductase, which reduces excess sebum and the visible redness and inflammation associated with acne rosacea. The overall surfactant system is gentle enough for reactive skin while still providing meaningful bacterial control.
