5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful In-home Blue Light Treatment to Fight Acnes!, January 30, 2009

By

This review is from: Verilux ClearWave Deluxe Acne Light (Health and Beauty)

Background:
I am 39 and I normally have 2 to 5 inflammatory acne lesions every month when my hormone peaks. I purchased Verilux ClearWave last year because my then most favorite treatment Ziana Gel (tretinoin/ clindamycin) started losing its effectiveness after two years of daily application.
The reasons to choose this product over others are mainly Amazon's great feedback rating and my personal experience with this technology. I had good result with Blue-U offered by my dermatologist. However, sitting in the doctor's office alone so frequently (3 to 4 times a week) and for so long (30-minute each time) is not a pleasant thing for me. Besides, it costs me about $300 only to enjoy clear complexion for as short as one and half month. I thought it would be great that I can do this routine at home comfortably while my dogs playing around (they are smart enough to keep safe distance), listening to my favorite music, and even talking to someone on the phone. And very importantly, it costs very little for the long run.
How do I use it:
I use Verilux ClearWave in combination with good skin care products, prescription gels (such as Ziana, Benzaclin etc), prescription oral antibiotics (such as Doxycycline) and smart spot treatment device such as Zeno.
I spend 15 to 20 minutes on the lamp every night before I sleep. I find myself most relaxed when I lie in the bed, with the lamp sitting on my chest, facing toward my face, supported by a yoga block strategically placed in between the pillow above my head and the edge of the lamp. (By doing this, the lamp is just 1 or 2 inches away from my nose).
The results:
1. It works. My face becomes less oily even after the first few sessions. It prevents new acnes from forming and makes the existing ones go away more quickly.
2. Unlike most other acne treatments, this method is very gentle on your skin with zero side effect. I have seen pregnant women receiving Blue-U at the doctor's office. No burning, no peeling, no irritation.
Other thoughts:
1. Verilux is a pricy lamp for almost $200, but I have to admit it is very well-built. The whole thing looks like a medical equipment with smooth plastic molding/ ejection line and durable power supply. It is different from an ordinary cosmetic tool.
2. Verilux is a giant thing which makes it impossible to travel with. In other words, you cannot rely on it solely without any other effective remedy.
3. I give it a 5-star rating because I believe every acne treatment with satisfying result deserves a 5-star. The fact is that there are not many out there. I have tried more than couple dozens since I was a teen. Less than 5 products are listed as my favorite and being kept handy all the time today. Verilux ClearWave is one of them!
4. I love how users share experiences with others so consumers are able to make better decisions. This is the first product review I write in my life. I hope it will help!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shine on, shine on - the amazing little light!, January 14, 2008

Amazing! Plain and simple, this thing works!

My girlfriend and I started using this product 6 weeks ago. After about 2 weeks of use my skin (not hers) became much worse and similar to what others have noted in past reviews. However, we continued to use the light and after about 4 weeks of daily use everything cleared up to a condition which is better than one could imagine. Pretty much perfect for both of us.

My theory, the light has to pull out the bad stuff before you can see the good. If you have any reservations about this product, dont. We were at first hesitant to try, but the money-back guarantee made that decision easier. Well worth the sub-$200 price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says it will, January 13, 2007

When used at least 6 days per week for 15 minutes it does a great job at nearly eliminating breakouts and keeping skin clear for my 14 year old daughter. I got the light because I had noticed that she did not break out during the summmer months, and hoped that using this light would have a similar effect, and it does. Much better results than benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid products alone have had. We have found that she can skip one day, but if 2 days are missed, breakouts reoccur. I think that over time it will pay for itself when considering what I have spent on expensive over-the-counter acne treatments. We are now getting by with just an inexpensive Equate brand cleanser and a foundation for acne-prone skin.
