Be gone the days of under the skin blemishes killing our vibe, and expensive visits to our facialist for light therapy treatments. Neutrogena has saved the day and our acne! Neutrogena has come out with a Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment. This spot treatment is totally different to what you’re used to – whether that’s a face mask, or the famous Mario Badescu Drying Lotion – it penetrates the pimple beneath the skin’s surface.
Light therapy is clinically proven and an effective acne technology used by dermatologists for over a decade. The blue and red lights filter through the skin, blue light kills the bacteria and red light reduces the inflammation.
For best results, wash and dry your skin and lightly press the pen into the affected area (directly over the pimple). Hold the pen there for two minutes, or until the lights turn off. It is recommended to use the pen 3 times a day per treatment area. It’s perfect to pop into your bag and use on your lunch break, making it easy to get your 3 doses per day.
While this product is made for acne prone skin, this device has been recommended to be used on people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, or for people with standalone pimples.
If you don’t fit into that category, Neutrogena are one step ahead and have a Light Therapy Acne Mask.
The mask uses the same red and blue light technologies, but allows for a full face of treatment rather than individual spots. The mask is lightweight and comfortable and has an eye shield and viewing slot which enables you to scroll through your instagram feed while treating your skin.
The same deal, but an extended time of 10 minutes once a day makes it easier to get your treatment done in one quick session and help you wind down. Perfect for those with more active and severe acne and scarring.
