BiON Calming (Bacteriostat) Cleanser

CA$43.00

BiON Calming Bacteriostat Cleanser is a low-pH acne cleanser from BiON that controls blemish-causing bacteria without stripping or aggravating sensitive, dry, or rosacea-prone skin. At a low pH 3.6, it works in the skin's optimal range for salicylic acid activity, helping keep pores clear while a blend of botanical extracts addresses the inflammation and bacterial imbalance that drive breakouts. The earthy, herbal scent from peppermint, lavender, oregano, and turmeric makes this one of those rare cleansers that people actually look forward to using.

If you have tried acne cleansers before and found them too harsh, too drying, or too irritating to use consistently, this formulation was designed with exactly that frustration in mind. It is equally effective for oily and normal skin types that want a botanically driven approach to daily bacterial control without relying on stronger actives like benzoyl peroxide.

KEY BENEFITS:

Controls blemish-causing bacteria at the source At 0.5% salicylic acid and a pH of 3.6, this cleanser penetrates into pores to dissolve excess oil and discourage the bacterial environment that leads to breakouts without disturbing barrier integrity.

Reduces redness and inflammation Turmeric root extract (Curcuma longa) inhibits 5-alpha reductase activity to help curb sebum overproduction and visibly calm the red, inflamed skin associated with acne and rosacea.

Blocks follicular triggers of irritation Oregano leaf extract (Origanum vulgare) works within the follicle to block interleukin-6 and histamine, two key drivers of the inflammatory response that keeps skin reactive and prone to flares.

Soothes while it cleanses Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) delivers additional anti-inflammatory support, while sodium lauroyl oat amino acids and glycerin maintain moisture so the cleanse never feels tight or depleting.

Doubles as a body wash for chest and back acne The same bacterial-control benefits apply below the neck, making this a practical option for those managing body acne alongside facial breakouts.

How To Use

Prepare: Wet your face with lukewarm water.

Apply: Dispense one to two pumps of BiON Bacteriostat Cleanser into your palm and apply to your face.

Technique: Lather gently, massage across the full face and neck, and rinse thoroughly.

Frequency: Use morning and evening as the first step in your skincare routine, followed by your toner, serums, and moisturizer. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.

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.
