Cons:
Wish it had a tilt control so you could sit more comfortably in front. The thickness of the removable front cover seems to be a safety feature which may serve to reduce the lights effectiveness.
I have suffered from moderate acne my whole life but I have always know the sun can clear it up. Unfortunately, until recently this was not an option due to the UV damage that goes with it. Luckily science has finally solved this problem and brought the benefits of sunlight indoors. Now for all those people that claim the technology does not work after only a few weeks of use brief use. Have you considered that almost all acne treatments make your skin appear worse before you begin to see continued improvement. Let me give you a perfect example of this. Recently I did an at home chemical peel and what I noticed is the day after its use my skin was full of little of little pimples. Why I wondered? Because the peel brought these "future" pimples to the surface. I knew the peel could not have caused this and sure enough winthin a few days they were all gone! In otherwords the peel did not cause the pimples; it simply brought them to the surface were they could be shed. Think of it another way. The blue light simply kills the bacteria it does not remove it. Your body still has to expel these. The problem is people are looking for immediate results and the body does not work that way.

Pros:
Easy to use, no side effects.
Cons:
Not a miracle cure, I still break out. Not easy to travel with, so I have to skip days when I'm out of town. I also skip days here and there when I'm busy, as it takes 15 minutes at least, which is an inconvenience. Takes a long time to see results!
May be worth trying if you are sick of dermatologists, antibiotics, and harsh products. There is a money back guarantee. I like the theory behind this product, it just didn't provide the results I had hoped for.

Pros:
Very simple to use, helped clear my skin.
Cons:
None so far.
My father bought this for me on a business trip to America. I've used it everyday for about three months and feel great with the results. My skin hasn't felt this good in a very long time. I'm going to keep using it everyday.

Pros:
Cleared my skin nicely.
Cons:
None
Worked well, don't have much more to say. I'm continuing to use it for 15 minutes everyday to maintain... I also wash my face using the regimen...
August 23, 2007
Pros:
It cleared my skin noticeably in a few weeks. There were no side effects either. I have moderate acne and try to keep my face clean (I use the regimen too). I'm pretty happy and will keep using it as necessary.
Cons:
I used it for 15 minutes a day starting out and it's hard for me to sit still that long. I just used my iPod and zoned a bit and got used to it. Once I saw the results it wasn't such a big deal because I knew it was working...
I'd recommend it to others. It's certainly less expensive than the other products I saw reviewed. The company has a 12 week guarantee return policy, so I figured I couldn't really NOT try. The company says there is no UV so I wasn't worried about burning my skin. Overall I'm happy. I guess that's the bottom line!

Pros:
Easy to use. Works. Cleared 80%. 45 year old female who has battled acne (cystic) since my teens. MUST use 10-12 weeks to see substantial results. Less expensive than other similar systems, ie: Beautyskin
Cons:
cannot miss more than a day here or there.
other reviewers that gave bad reviews typically only used this for a month before giving up. I have been on every otc and prescription med, including 5 or 6 antibiotics. this is the most effective thing that I have done. I will NEVER stop. This really works. Wow!!! I almost sent it back, (it has a 12 week warranty), but used it consistently and could not be more thrilled at the results. I have used about 20 weeks, and my skin continues to improve.

Pros:
Painless! not too expensive. good for all over health
Cons:
the time to sit in front of the lamp is both a pro & a con.
This lamp has helped clear up my acne & some 'laugh lines'. At first it was kind of a pain to sit in front of the lamp for 15 minutes, but it's well worth it.
Now I meditate while I medicate- so I'm helping myself inside & out.

Pros:
Cleared up my skin. I had pretty bad acne and my sister bought the light for me before I went to school. I used it religiously for 2-3 weeks and my skin was much clearer. I've been using it regularly for almost a year and haven't had any flare-ups
Cons:
None that I can see.
I'm glad my sister got it for me. It works and I'm happy with my skin. I still have some oil but this light isn't supposed to deal with the oil anyway.

Pros:
Less acne
Cons:
none really, unless you count having to sit there for 15 minutes every night, but doesn't bother me
I bought this product a couple weeks ago online, and I've definitely noticed improvement. I use it every night for 15 minutes, along with Retin-A Micro and an oral antibiotic, and they are really starting to work. I paid $189 for it, but it's worth it if you ask me. And it'd probably cost a lot more to get the blue/red light treatments professionally.

Pros:
Nothing.....Waste of Money!!!
Cons:
It caused me to break out like crazy!!! I ever never had acne this bad before....it's like i'm 15 again but 2x worse.
This product may work for some people, but it did not work for me. When I bought this item, I thought that it would be an alternative to the blue light treatments I was getting at the dermatologists office, but it is nothing like it at all. With the blue light treatments from the derms office, I cleared up completely with no initial breakout. With this crappy $189.00 light, I have been broke out for 3 weeks and nothing is helping to clear it up!! Bottom line......Save your money and go today the dermatologist for a reputable treatment!!!!
Pros:
Compared to some other units I have purchased this seems well made.
Unlike some reviews I like the bulkyness as you get more complete facial coverage.
