How soon will I start seeing results from using BiON Research skin care products?

BiON products go to work immediately within the skin but visible results will vary with every person because each of us is different in our skin condition and physiology. By using BiON’s skin care products as directed by the skin care professional, clients should see improvements within a few weeks. The immediate results for clients using BiON products are increased hydration, softness and the skin feeling more moisturized. Products with peptides will cause small muscle tightening, which is felt right away. Acne takes time to completely heal, but there will be a noticeable improvement by at least the 5th week of treatment.

Do your products contain Benzoyl Peroxide?

Although we feel that benzoyl peroxide can work in some cases we take a strong stand in never using this ingredient in any of our products.  The long term effects of this ingredient outweighs the benefits and through our research and development we have found other ingredients that are much safer and provide better results.

All products are fully effective at least one year from open date with many of them being longer.

Why should I only buy BiON products from an authorized skin treatment center, spa, esthetician or physician?

BiON products work best when treatments are provided by a skin care professional in addition to home care products to improve the speed of results and help to achieve better product penetration. Authentic BiON products should only be purchased from an authorized BiON skin care professional or website.  Please be aware that unauthorized sellers on sites like E-Bay or Amazon have not been approved or certified by BiON Research. We cannot assure the authenticity or condition of any BiON Research products that they claim to sell.

How can I submit a customer testimonial or before/after photos?

There are at least three options:

What is your client product guarantee?

BiON products are guaranteed against manufacturing defect for a period of up to six months following shipping.

Products are guaranteed to perform the function stated.  For example, acne products are guaranteed to control acne, when used as directed twice daily for a period of 4 weeks. BiON products are designed to perform in a very specific manner and achieve dramatic results when used as directed. If the BiON products fail to perform this function, the customer may return the products to the skin care professional for a refund of the purchase price and the skin care professional may return the products to BiON for a refund of the purchase price. Using products from other manufacturer’s can result in a compatibility reaction that will void the BiON product guarantee.

What is your professional return policy for dealers?

BiON products are fully guaranteed.  Prior to returning merchandise for any reason the dealer must telephone BiON so we can complete a “Return Authorization”.  Damaged or defective products as a result of shipping or manufacturing must be returned within 30 days to receive a full refund.  Products returned to the skin care professional for a refund from a client must be returned to BiON within 30 days of receipt of the product to receive a full refund.  Refunds for merchandise that dealers elect to return to correct inventory imbalances are subject to a restocking fee.

How do I find out about product ingredients?

Key product ingredients are listed for each product on this website.  A full disclosure of ingredients is printed on each product container, is printed in the BiON Catalog, and is available from authorized BiON skin care professionals.

Who can I speak to about a concern or complaint?

A concern or complaint regarding a BiON product can be discussed with the skin care professional or BiON Research directly.  Calling toll free 877-715-BION (2466) will connect you to a BiON representative that can handle all concerns and complaints in a timely fashion.

How do I change my billing or shipping address?

Skin care professionals that wish to change their billing or shipping address, telephone number, email address, website address, payment method, etc. can contact BiON directly toll free at 877-715-BION (2466) or email to customerservice@bionresearch.com

Does BiON have a newsletter?

BiON distributes a newsletter to our skin care professionals via email approximately every 30 days. The newsletter has news about our products, at-home treatments, insider tips, promotions, new techniques and much more. You may unsubscribe at any time.

What is the professional section of this website and why can’t the public access it?

The professional center is for licensed estheticians, spa/salon owners and physicians only who currently carry our line or are interested in bringing the line into to their salon or spa.

Do you share my information?

BiON respects your privacy and does not sell or provide your information to any third party.

Can I mix different brands of products?

We do not recommend it, especially for acne.  BiON’s 3 step acne treatment is based on the proper use of all 3 products.  Using a different cleanser, or not using the Green Tea/Clay Poultice can have a negative effect on the outcome.  Most department store and Internet only products are sub-potent and will not provide the same results as BiON products.

What if I have other questions that are not listed above?

Contact BiON Research via email at customerservice@bionresearch.com or call toll free 877-715-BION (2466).  A knowledgeable BiON representative will answer all of your questions in a timely fashion.
