Tria Light
Tria Light is a treatment cream intended for skin prone to acne and comedones. It is primarily designed for combination and oily skin whose pores clog easily which in turn leads to the appearance of acne, or for skin which appears inflamed and unhealthy, is full of marks, spots and has uneven texture, but it can also be used on less oily skin as a treatment base for richer products or oil boosters.
Tria Light works in three ways. First, through continued use it regulates sebum production along with having a regenerative effect on the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of new spots and comedones. By regular use of Tria Light, skin tone and texture become more even and the skin gains a healthier and glowier appearance. Second, a total of as much as fourteen active and plant components act in synergy against existing clogged pores and marks, with the most important ones being niacinamide or vitamin B3, zinc PCA and two forms of vitamin E which rapidly repair skin damage. Third and no less important, this non-comedogenic, fast-absorbing and silky gel-cream delivers to the skin excellent repairing ingredients such as panthenol, allantoin, bisabolol and soothing plant extracts which restore the skin’s balance and provide support to its natural resistance.
Tria Light’s active and plant extracts explained in short:
Niacinamide (6%)– evens out skin tone, reduces post-inflammatory pigmentation marks, fights acne
Carnitine– regulates sebum production
Green tea extract– exceptional antioxidant and source of catechin
White willow extract – precursor of salicylic acid possessing anti-inflammatory, soothing and cleansing effects
Two forms of vitamin E – have regenerative, repairing and anti-oxidative effects
Linoleic acid – repairs and protects the skin from environmental effects
Linolenic acid – refines sebum structure, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, regulates cell metabolism
Red willow extract – acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reduces the appearance of large pores
Liquorice extract – has an anti-oxidative effect, acts as a source of flavonoids, evens out skin tone
Allantoin– acts as an anti-irritant, humectant
Zinc PCA– has a clinically proven anti-age effect, hydrates and regenerates
Bisabolol– anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbic ingredient
Panthenol– soothes and repairs
Tria Light can be applied to the entire face or only on problematic areas.
It is an excellent base for other skincare products and for makeup. The product is formulated without the addition of parabens, fragrances, alcohol, artificial dyes and other irritants and is packaged in an airless container which guards its ingredients against air and contamination in order to ensure that they remain fresh and highly efficient until used up.

This product claims to regulate sebum production. Will it dry out my skin?
No, it is completely non-drying and can even be considered hydrating on oilier skin types. Drying products are generally loaded with highly volatile ingredients such as denatured alcohol which evaporate from the skin leaving it tight and uncomfortable. Tria Light works differently - it is sebostatic within the pore lining, meaning it simply slows down sebum production, without disrupting barrier function of the skin.
Since this is a treatment product loaded with actives, can an I use it alongside other high-potency products like Clarion?
Tria Light works well with exfoliants such as Clarion in the treatment of skin irregularities. If your skin is sensitive, you probably wouldn’t want to start using all actives at once but rather incorporate one product at a time. This will allow your skin to adjust to a new skin regimen. We recommend that you apply Tria Light in the morning if you love your night-time exfoliation.
What are key differences between Clarion and Tria Light in the tretment of acne-prone skin?
Tria Light is gentler and more suited for sensitive skin types. It also doesn’t sensitise the skin to the sun like an exfoliant because it doesn’t encourage desquamation. You can use Tria Light twice daily which would recommend against when it comes to exfoliation. Clarion is a more minimalistic but also more ‘robust’ formula which works very quickly and visibly, but is not best suited for sensitive skin. Thick, oily skin with a lot of congestion will benefit most from Clarion. Thin, sensitive and dehydration prone skin prone to inflammation will probably be better off with Tria Light.
