Both Jan Marini Bioclear Lotion and Cream contain 1% azelaic acid, 2% salicylic acid and 12% glycolic acid — a synergistic blend of anti-inflammatory, skin resurfacing, hyperpigmentation-reducing and pore refining clinically proven actives which also act to profoundly treat adult acne.
This blend is both more effective and gentler than its individual components are when used in isolation. Both Bioclear Cream and Lotion are used with great success in treating sensitized skin, including rosacea.
Jan Marini Bioclear Lotion is suited to all skin types and absorbs completely however typically most suited to oily and normal to oily (combination) skin with no tendency toward dryness. It is not a moisturizer and its use alone will lead to progressive dehydration of the skin. As such should be applied underneath a Jan Marini Hydrator (TGF Serum or Age Intervention Serum are recommended. Skin Silk and Recover-E are also more basic alternatives).
Jan Marini Bioclear Cream is the emollient alternative to Bioclear Lotion and is more suitable for normal to dry, very dry or "mixed" (for example oily and dehydrated) skin. It should be used with one of the hydrators mentioned above. In case of normal to dry and very dry skin, TGF Cream or Age Intervention Cream are preferable over the Serum versions of the same.
A broad spectrum of results can be achieved by combining these complementary topical skin treatments.
