Pros:

-fairly easy to transport
-works (slowly) to reduce inflammation and bacteria

Cons:

-can be hard to find time to sit in front of it for 15-30 minutes a day
- finding a way to sit in front of it comfortably can be difficult
-your family/friends/significant other(s) may laugh at you if they see you sittng in front of it :P
-you have to be patient with it, as results don't typicaly come immediately after first or second use
-expensive for those on a tight budget

I am on spironolactone for my acne, so I am clear in that regard. I still have red marks left from the acne and rosacea inflammation, and this is why I am using Red/Blue light therapy. I am pretty pleased with the results - no, my skin isn't flawless, but I can't expect it to be after the horrors it's been through. My red marks have been reduced as well as the small papules I sometimes get when my face gets too hot. My overall facial pinkness has been reduced as well. Overall, I think that Clearwave is as effective as other Red/Blue light therapy products, but if you can find something cheaper or more to your liking (for instance, a product that it more convenient to use), you should go for that instead. Also, making your own LED light board might be less expensive than buying one. Directions can probably be found through a quick google search. Good luck!

Pros:

No side effects. Totally safe treatment.

Cons:

No effect at all in acne. It's known to work well on some people, but that was not my case

Even though it was of no use for me, due to the success cases in some people and the lack of negative side effects, I think that it is worth to give a try; so I would recommend it.

Pros:

money back guaratee

Cons:

didn't work for me

I was excited to try it after reading all the positive reviews. I used it faithfully for 7 weeks,most times longer than 15 min. It just didn't make a difference at all. If it works for you it is definitely affordable. I'm 42 and have tried everything short of acutane so this was worth a shot.

Pros:

Feel like you are actively doing something to fix your acne problem.

Cons:

No changes in my skin yet, which is aggravating since it takes a lot of patience to sit in front of it every day!

So far, my results have been very different from the results on this site. Lately I have been breaking out more (MAYBE due to the light? Maybe due to weather? I haven't figured this out yet)--but the light isn't hurting my skin so I'm going to finish the 8-12 weeks. I definitely do not notice any decreased redness, or that it is drying up zits any quicker. My skin is usually better in the summer, so I have very high hoped for this product. I just felt I should post to let people know that not EVERYONE clears up within the first few weeks. Hopefully it just takes a little time.
