People of skin of colour with oily skin are more likely to get all 3 acne blemishes: Acne, Post Inflammatory Erythema (red marks) and Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (brown marks). We need to tackle all 3 processes simultaneously.
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.
For people with oily/acne prone skin and/or enlarged pores, blackheads, sebaceous filaments.
If you have combination skin, please see separate protocol in the FAQs below.

Please try the following protocol if your skin is normal/dry in most areas and oily on the T-zone:

Yes, you can interchange parts of the TRIO Blemish routine with products from other brands or Dr V Daily Range, for example if you only want to use TRIO Blemish cleansers but moisturisers from elsewhere and vice versa.
6a. Can I still use Tretinoin/ topical Acne medications (Duac, Adapalene etc) with TRIO Blemish range?

6c. Should I still use Niacinamide, Ceramides, Retinol, Vitamin A/C/E serums from other skincare lines in conjunction with the Dr V. TRIO Blemish Range?
No, nothing else required, it's all in the range.
You can try other products with the range, however only you know your skin and what it can tolerate, so some trial & error may be needed.
7. How long does it take to see results?
You may start to notice beneficial effects in as little as 2-4 weeks, however we advise 8+ weeks to see the full potential, as per the consumer trial results.
"Before I started using Dr V's products, I use to use The Ordinary skin care line. I think I will be sticking with Dr V. This Exfoliator has left my face feeling so soft and clear. My face looks like its glowing. Brilliant Job Dr V" - Dena C
