Inside my acne protocol – Why BIRETIX is the cornerstone of clearer skin
Published on 23 September 2025
At KP Aesthetics, I treat acne as a multifaceted condition not just a cosmetic concern, but one that can deeply affect a person’s confidence and quality of life. That’s why I choose skincare partners that deliver both clinical results and emotional reassurance. For me, BIRETIX acne skincare ticks every box.
What is BIRETIX? Skincare for acne-prone skin
BIRETIX is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and has become a go-to solution in my clinic for both teenage and adult-onset acne. The range supports patients through all phases, from initial breakout management through to long-term maintenance.
It’s ideal for:
- Mild to moderate inflammatory acne
- Comedonal (non-inflammatory) acne
- Truncal acne
- Post-acne maintenance to prevent recurrence

Key BIRETIX technologies for treating acne
What makes BIRETIX exceptional is its technology-led formulation. Two standout features include:
-
RetinSphere® Technology
This combines two types of retinoids: hydroxypinacolone retinoate and retinol glycospheres. Together, they accelerate cell turnover, helping to unclog pores and improve texture while reducing the risk of irritation - making it one of the best skincare options for acne-prone skin and a game-changer for patients who may not tolerate prescription-strength retinoids. I often see adult patients who are hesitant about retinoids because of sensitivity. RetinSphere® gives them the benefits without the irritation I used to see with prescription-only formulas. -
BIOPEP-15
This is a patented peptide complex with strong antimicrobial properties. It targets Cutibacterium acnes, one of the key bacteria implicated in acne formation, without disrupting the skin’s microbiome.
Other key actives include:
- Salicylic acid for exfoliation
- Niacinamide for anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating support
- Zinc for calming and oil control
Why patients trust BIRETIX for clearer skin
In clinical practice, even the most effective product is redundant if a patient won’t use it consistently. What makes BIRETIX particularly unique is how patient-friendly it is:
- Lightweight, non-greasy textures
- Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic
- Suitable even for those with sensitive or compromised skin barriers
In the past year of prescribing BIRETIX, my patients consistently report reduced redness, smoother skin, and fewer breakouts within 4–6 weeks. This feedback drives confidence and long-term adherence both essential for success.
BIRETIX skincare routine: Acne protocol example
This is a BIRETIX routine for moderate acne that I frequently use in practice.
AM Routine:
- BIRETIX Cleanser
- BIRETIX Duo (thin layer over breakout-prone areas)
- Broad spectrum SPF 50 (non-comedogenic)
PM Routine:
- BIRETIX Cleanser
- BIRETIX Duo

For truncal acne:
- BIRETIX Tri-Active Spray (once daily on chest/back)
For post-treatment maintenance:
- Reduce BIRETIX Duo to 3x/week
- Include BIRETIX Hydramat to help regulate oil and minimise post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIHP), especially for patients prone to pigmentation
Why BIRETIX is my go-to for acne treatment
Compared to other over-the-counter acne brands, BIRETIX stands out because it bridges the gap between prescription efficacy and cosmetic tolerability. It’s suitable alongside systemic therapies or as a standalone regimen. With every patient who uses it, I’m reminded how effective a thoughtful, well-formulated routine can be.

BIRETIX FAQs
How long does the BIRETIX Regime take to work?
Clinical studies show that the BIRETIX Regime delivers visible results in as little as 21 days, with 95% of users reporting satisfaction after just three weeks of use. To achieve the best long-term outcome, however, we recommend patients follow the regime consistently for at least 30 days. This allows the active ingredients, including Retinsphere® Technology, BIOPEP-15, and glycolic acid, to work in synergy, helping to reduce blemishes, smooth skin texture, and restore clarity.
Is BIRETIX safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, some BIRETIX products can be suitable for sensitive skin - especially when used with the right support products like BIRETIX Isorepair.
The BIRETIX range is designed to target blemish-prone skin with advanced technologies such as RetinSphere® and BIOPEP-15, but certain formulations may include active ingredients like exfoliating acids or retinoid-like complexes, which can be intense for very sensitive or reactive skin.
To help protect and soothe sensitive skin, we recommend incorporating BIRETIX Isorepair - a nourishing, reparative moisturiser specifically formulated to support skin undergoing treatment. It helps to restore the skin barrier, reduce dryness, and improve comfort without clogging pores.
If you have sensitive skin:
- Start BIRETIX treatments slowly (e.g., every other day)
- Perform a patch test before full use
- Pair with BIRETIX Isorepair to maintain hydration and minimise irritation
- If you're unsure which products are best for your skin type, our team is always happy to advise.
Can BIRETIX be used with prescription acne medication?
Yes, BIRETIX products can be used in combination with medical prescription treatments. BIRETIX products provide at home regimes for safe and effective use as a standalone treatment regime or for safe use in combination with medical prescription treatments.
