Pros:

Jus have to like they said, time yourself, on a stop watch or whatever n yea.. wear these goggles that come with it..

Cons:

the light is BRIGHT! It made my whole room look like a lava lamp was inside ha..

The bottom line is that, 4 those who did the same thing I did by sitting in the sun to clear up your acne, it works, but the UV rays can damage your skin n I didnt wanna take the chance of that.. so I got this n when I use it it keeps my skin clear 4rm new pimples from popping up.. I use it at night.. best time, after a shower.. use some Pan Oxyl 2.5% cream though.. otherwise if u get the maximum trength, ur skin will feel like it's on fire.. Anyways, I like it n u should too.. u gotta be committed though.. if u really wanna see results.. The sun works actually too 4 acne, it cleared my acne up real well.. I was suprised.. my scars were'nt noticeable much either.. I stayed out there all summer in 2008 like 4 days a wk 4 bout 45-1hr each n it really helped.. totally.. but, this works good 4 winter when there is no sun.. n does the same thing.. thats what I got it 4.. but yea, best place to get it is at [link removed].. I got it 4 bout $60 cheaper than everybody here ha.. GO THERE!

Pros:

Works GREAT!
The red/blue light kills bacteria that cause acne just as sunlight does but without the sunburn. This website has the answers. Clearview, baking soda and the Cleanser & Treatment products.

Cons:

None

I was skeptical. I knew that sunlight always made my skin look better but being in the sun for an hour leaves you sunburned and you cannot do that everyday. I bought this thru Amazon so I knew the return policy was good. I ain't sending it back. I noticed the difference the 1st day and after a week the acne is almost gone. Just a couple more to heal. The skin tone is great. Sit in front with your nose almost touching the cover for 15 to 30 minutes and you will be amazed. Also use Baking Soda & water (slurry) to keep you skin clean. The Cleanser & Treatment product sold here work real well too but for that final treatment use Verilux Clearwave

Pros:

It works! No messy creams to run out of, nothing to take or apply, no side affects.

Cons:

Problems finding time to use when on a strict schedule, not really transportable. Annoying sometimes to sit with your face in a bright light for 15 minutes if busy.

Well worth the money. It made a huge difference in my acne. It noticeably reduces swelling and redness in the breakouts I do have. I use this in conjunction with Rezamid and regular face washing. You need to use it when your face is totally clean! Don't apply anything to any blemishes until after you're done. You also need to get a strict 15 minutes in every day... if I miss more than two days, I start breaking out bad.

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.

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:

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.

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...

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:

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:

This works. End of story. A must have for skin-pickers who are obsessive about it.

Cons:

If you're very sensitive to bright light, this might not be for you. Sitting in front of it for 15 minutes sometimes gives me a headache, but the results are worth some temporary head pain!

My story is different from the majority of people's on acne.org. I suffer horribly from acne dysmorphia. From birth to age 18, I had pristine skin. When I turned 19, not only did I begin to get horrible breakouts, but checking the mirror hundreds of times a day became my obsession. Sometimes I would lock myself in the bathroom for HOURS and mutilate my face thinking that it would make everything better. Of course, that's part of the disorder, and only made everything worse. I went to countless dermatologists and therapists who were all a waste of money. The therapists always looked at me and told me that they couldn't see anything bad about my face, but I told them that I had become brilliant at covering up my mess. Dermatologists didn't know what to do with me because I would always ruin my "progress" by picking. This light prevents my blemishes from getting to a point where I want to squeeze the pain out. It has also evened my skin tone. Now I use this instead of mutilating my face.
