 It is working for us! May 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's working. My teenage son has been aggressively battling moderate to severe acne for a while, without any luck. After dozens of acne products, trips to a dermatologist, and prescription medications nothing had worked. I was skeptical of this product, but his condition became so bad I was willing to spend the additional $200. He has been using it daily for two weeks and already we can see a remarkable difference. We are very encouraged!
In addition, though my acne cleared in my 30's, I have been suffering from Rosacea as an adult. I read that this could be used to treat Rosacea also. After these last couple of weeks of using it myself, it has cleared significantly. I am extremely pleased with the results we are experiencing.
Review of light therapy in general May 12, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I need to say upfront that I haven't tried this EXACT product but I thought people checking it out might want to know about light therapy effectiveness overall. I've done lots of research on this, as I used to have really persistent acne that didnt respond to any treatments, whether it was a change in diet, medicine, or face cleansers. A few years ago I started going to my dermatologist for clearlight therapy, which i now continue to do once a month for 15-20 minutes ( i just lay under a blue light with goggles). its really expensive, but OH MY GOSH it worked. and my doc told me it works on about 90% of patients. That stat seems consistent with what people are finding here. my GUESS is that these at-home light therapy treatments are not quite as strong as the treatments you get at a dermotologist, which is why you have to do them more frequently. also, light therapy doesnt ever 'end'- you have to keep getting it until you get old (i'm only 27 so i guess i have a while to go!) anyways, light therapy worked for me when NOTHING- i mean NOTHING- else did, and even though i pay $90 a treatment (and i work for a nonprofit so thats a lot for me), its worth the self confidence i've gotten. I'll probably buy this product or something similar pretty soon, as it seems like a cheaper alternative than my doctor's office every month. good luck to you all!
works surprisingly well May 10, 2008

The lamp has greatly improved my teen sons' skin, especially cystic lesions. They had no side effects. Being teens, they don't always use it daily, but have still seen significant but not perfect results.
Cleared my acne! May 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been using this light for three months and it is the ONLY thing that has worked for my acne (23 years of it!). I tried various products over the years and really didn't want to use prescription-strength meds. My acne has been on my chin and never responded well to anything. It cleared 90% in just two weeks (I also use MyChelle's Clear Skin Serum once daily). I still get an occasional breakout but they have all been smaller, less inflamed, and in locations other than my chin. Worth every penny to me!!
 No luck April 6, 2008

I ordered the Verilux ClearWave because I researched the available lit from medical journals etc, and the science behind it actually seems pretty sound. I gave it two stars because I think it could work for other people even though it did NOT work for me and I'm out $200. All the info I found says it works for 3 of 4 people.
As for my experience: The first few days I used it I looked and felt like my face was slightly sunburned, which makes no sense. There's no UV rays, no heat. I searched and eventually found one site stating this happens very occasionally to people with particularly sensitive skin (me) and you should do less than the recommended 15 minutes per day. I don't know if this was reliable info but I went with that advice and only sat in front of the Verilux between 10 and 13 min per day.
I didn't experience any more sunburn symptoms after that. In fact, I didn't experience anything at all. I used it consistently every day for over a month with zero results, positive or negative. Maybe I should have stuck with it longer but all the reviews I found suggested there's at least some kind of difference within a month. Anyway, I guess I'll toss it up on craigslist or make a really expensive planter out of it or something.
