Tria Beauty is known for creating the ever popular at-home hair removal laser system and now, the brand has released another product designed to treat acne. Tria Blue Light Acne Treatment uses the same blue light technology dermatologists use in their offices. Acne sufferers can now get the same quality results at home.
How Does Tria Blue Light Work?
Blue Light Technology prevents breakouts from occurring. The light penetrates the skin to kill the acne-causing bacteria. This device is a dream come true for acne sufferers because they no longer have to make frequent trips to the dermatology office or spending more money on ineffective acne treatments. Multiple weekly visits to the dermatologist office can cost around $1000-1500. When I did multiple blue light treatments four years ago, I paid over $3000 so, Tria Blue Light can surely save you the time and cost.

Sunscreen for Acne
Finding a sunscreen that won’t cause acne breakouts is something every person should consider during the summer. Since people have different skin types, it isn’t surprising that there are those who find themselves responding negatively to various products. Unfortunately, there isn’t a concrete way of finding a sunscreen without applying the item on the skin. Instead, the process is a trial and error system that should be done properly to minimize the side effects.
For those bent on finding that perfect sunscreen for acne prone skin, here are some tips on how this can be done.
Oily Skin

People with oily skin should opt for a sunscreen liberally combined with powder. This would absorb the oil even while protecting the skin from the harsh rays of the sun and you’ll still maintain your summer glow. Suggestion: Peter Thomas Roth: Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45, $30

I never thought that after my teen years I would still be dealing with acne. Many women struggles with adult acne and it can be very frustrating to still not have an answer for your skin. I deal with my acne constantly and get occasional breakouts so I know how it feels. Luckily, I came across a product that has done wonders to my skin. It’s called GoClear and it’s a three step solution for acne sufferers. It’s designed to treat mild adult acne.
I will admit, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical of using this product. I have oily skin that is prone to acne and it’s so difficult to find a product that can treat or at least control it. I’ve always jumped around and when I learned about GoClear, I thought to myself, “another acne product claiming to clear my skin.” I’ve tried so many acne products in the past and the results were always the same; It would irritate my skin, make it extremely dry, or make my acne worse. I feared the same for this product but I still gave it a chance. Surprisingly, after a few days of using GoClear, I saw results and I fell in love with the product. It has been a month now and my acne is in control and my skin looks fantastic but to be honest, my skin started to look better in just a few weeks.
Like I mentioned earlier, GoClear is a three-step solution. It includes:
- a hydrating daily cleanser- removes impurities, makeup, and contains gentle exfoliating granules
- an acne treatment gel Salicylic Acid 2%- designed for all-over-use.
- a fast-absorbing, oil-free moisturizing sunscreen SPF 15- provides UVA/UVB sun protection, complexion-enhancing botanicals, and a matte finish.
Here’s more details about GoClear:
GoClear is an acne regimen designed to purify, clarify, balance, and protect the complexion. GoClear is committed to creating products work well for all types and tones of skin, and are free of potentially irritating ingredients, which can cause post-treatment dark spots for acne sufferers. The products in the 3-step Acne and Blemish Regimen do not contain alcohol, propylene glycol, lanolin, PABA, or artificial dye or fragrance, and are all oil free and allergy tested. GoClear does not formulate with benzoyl peroxide.
It also contains no:
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
The products are so gentle on my skin. I use the 3-step system day and night. The cleanser is fantastic. My skin feels super clean and the microbeads contained are gentle and leaves my skin soft. The acne treatment is a gel and I apply only a very thin layer over my face. I use it day and night and it doesn’t dry my skin. My skin started to improve within a week or two. I love the moisturizing sunscreen because it’s very lightweight and it doesn’t leave my skin oily. I like how it leaves a matte finish and I use it as my primer before applying makeup. Overall, it’s a great product and I’m still surprised by how well GoClear worked for me. I’ve never been happier!
