Daily Acne Regimens

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