Acne Lotions

A New Acne Treatment?

Like so many skin care products out there, Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare claims to represent a brand new form of acne treatment. We are reviewing Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion in order to determine whether it really is something unique. Whether it is a new set of ingredients or a new form of application of a treatment, it is important to know whether a product brand is credible or not.

Who is Dr. Dennis Gross?

Dr. Dennis Gross has used his success in the fashion world to launch his own brand of skincare products called M. D. Skincare. His stated goal is to provide alternatives to mainstream products by using different ingredients than are found in a majority of skincare products. In doing so he risks developing new products that do not work as well as standard industry products, but he has the popularity of his brand and his name to rely on. So, has he developed something really new and superior to existing products on the market? At least with Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion, the answer is no.

What is Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion?

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion is a topical acne cream that is meant to be applied twice a day – although there is a stated risk of dryness and skin irritation, in which case the user is advised to apply treatment only every other day. Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion contains ingredients that are meant to be substitutes for Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic Acid, yet these new ingredients also have tendencies to cause unwanted side effects. White Willow Bark as a substitute for Salicylic Acid is an excellent ingredient and it is found in many of the best acne lotions we have reviewed. However, it is only included in a minute amount in Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion. In fact, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion is only composed of 20% active ingredients. That does not seem like a good plan to develop an effective product. So what is the other 80% made up of? According to the website, mostly purified water and denatured alcohol.

Is Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion a Good Value?

At about $32 for a 1.7 oz. bottle of Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion, this is one of the most over-priced acne treatments we have seen. It contains only 20% active ingredients in the lotion and, of these, only a couple of them are clinically proven to be effective. It seems that Dr. Dennis Gross is relying on his name and the popularity of his brand to sell a mediocre product at too high a price. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion does not come with a satisfaction guarantee, which is of little surprise considering the contents of this product. We suggest you do not waste your time and money on this treatment to clear up your acne. If you want clear skin and a quality acne treatment, we suggest you look elsewhere and find a product that offers a money-back guarantee of some kind. There are too many lousy skin care products on the market to throw your money around blindly.
