It works but not as good as acutane May 24, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have moderate acne with a constant quota of four or five medium sized breakouts on my face.I have tried every over the counter product and prescription to get rid of my adult acne. The only products that have proven to keep my skin clear were antibiotics and the pill form of acutane. This light is not cheap and I can only assume that replacement bulbs will not be cheap either, that being said it is still cheaper than a prescription if your insurance will not cover.
I just completeted the twelve week regiment recommended for maximum results. The first week of use I notice a change in skin tone and some slight peeling especially around my lips. The second week of use I broke out like crazy so following the directions I reduced usage to every other day for a couple of weeks. Soon I noticed my acne was much less severe and when I did break out it was much less noticeable and it went away much quicker. After twelve weeks I still have two or three small blemishes but my skin tone has improved a lot and all of the old scars have faded. I would have given this product five stars if I had become completely clear skinned but the closest I came was one week I only had one breakout.
This light did help me and although it does not work as well as the prescriptions I mentioned earlier it also has no negative side effects unlike the meds that are hard on your liver. When I was on acutane I also noticed my gums started to receed which is another side effect. I think I'll stick with this light rather than use harmful drugs. If you are uncertain this will work for you you can always return it but it did take time to work for me. I am glad I stuck with it and I will report back if I ever get completely clear or if it ever fails to help. It is definately worth a try but if you want flawless skin and aren't worried about side effect or expense see your dermatologist and get a prescription. Hope this helps.
Better for youthful skin than acne control March 30, 2010

After using this light for 20 minutes daily now for over two months I have both good and bad to report.
First, there has been a marked improvement in my skins smoothness and youthfulness. The light definitely appears effective in turning back the clock and beats topical creams hands down!
As for acne control not so much. I would say I have noticed a slight improvement in the number and redness of my breakouts. I was hopeful that this would do the trick by itself but after using it exclusively for over 6 weeks I have had to resume my former regimen of 2.5% BP cream. The combination does seem to be more effective than either by themselves.
In conclusion I believe the hybrid light may not be concentrated enough to zap problematic acne. I really wish this company would make a dedicated, full-strength acne light as I was satisfied with the quality.
 A Wonderful In-home Blue Light Treatment to Fight Acnes! January 30, 2009

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!
Great product January 27, 2009

I started to use this product 3 weeks ago, everyday, and already see improvements on my face and body. Acne are gone completely and my skin feeling great now. The only thing that bothers me is little red marks after acne. They are deep under the skin and hard to get rid of, even though Verilux does improve the appearance and makes it less visible.

I did a lot of reading about using red and blue light to help acne. There is a lot on the Web, but they ALL say that it is best to use them separately -- otherwise you get purple light, which doesn't do anything. Verilux has been selling these for years and have NO clinical data on this particular product - according to their customer service people - they only refer to some old research that was NOT done with their product -- DON'T BUY IT!!
