Product Reviews of BlueMD - Acne Blue Light Therapy Treatment
Product Review: Great for when I am traveling and partying
Summary: 5 Stars
I travel a lot for business (and pleasure), and usually go out to bars and clubs while I am in all these different cities. Normally when I party when I am at home my acne does not flare up because I can control which foods I eat, have more time to relax and recover, and have all my facial products with me. But when I'm traveling, I am normally eating more oily/fatty foods and eating out more. I also cannot bring all my facial stuff with me, so after a few days my acne really starts to bother me. The BLuemd is compact enough and folds down good, so I can get it in my suitcase without it taking up much room. Then when I get to my hotel I just bust it out and set it up on the bedside table, pull out the goggles, and I am good to go. I usually just take a nap after work and lay under the blue light, then about 30 minutes later get up and wash my face and I'm ready to go for the night.Product Review: High Hopes Dashed
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading the great reviews of this product, I was really hoping for some great results, but after four weeks, I have seen no positive changes. I have had acne problems for the past 12 years and I have tried everything, anti-biotics, no sugar & carb diets, holistic vitamins and face toners, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, ALA etc... without ever seeing a difference. And now I have one more method to add to my list.
I used the product as instructed, every day, sometimes twice a day. Since you have to use it for 20-30 min on each spot, holding the device no less than 6 inches from your face, I found I had to do at least an hour total to get my cheeks, chin and forehead. Which needless to say is VERY time consuming and a little boring since it is hard to do much else while you are holding a huge light, wearing goggles, and being blasted with the very bright light. All this would have been worth it though, if it had helped, but it didn't.
After four weeks my skin is just as bad as when I started. Maybe this product works for other people, and maybe it will work for you, but it didn't help me at all. I am in the process of returning the light, hopefully there wont be any problems there!
Product Review: I think it works
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very skeptical about all the lights and lasers etc. The reason is, I had purchased a VERY expensive laser treatment package and all I got from it was more irritation and major brakeout. Than, I had a peel and that was a total disaster (a careless spa practitioner that got herself fired eventually).
After years of trying every treatment possible, I've realized that the less I do to my skin and the less I touch it, the cleaner it becomes. At this time I'm on regimen of PCA 13 soap, gel for brown spots and benzaclin when needed on spots. Than, Korres tinted moisturizer with spf 30, + light, and the whole thing is pretty natural and works wonders. Also, have to watch what I eat. My doc says it doesn't affect the skin, but I've noticed that sugar and fat food does.
Before that, the only thing my skin responded to well was yaz and Ortho-Tricyclen-Lo. Unfortunately the rest of my body had way too many side effects.
On day I got an email promo about Baby Quazar light and I was checking reviews of it on Amazon and found the light from Trophy Skin. I decided to try. The price was lower and the light looked larger.
I have adult acne. My acne isn't severe, but I was using the light ones a day for 30 minutes (for max results, I guess). After doing it for a month, I've noticed that my skin is not as oily as it used to be and it does make acne disappear when the skin gets dryer.
My light doesn't get hot as in other posting. After 30 minutes, I can touch the bulb with no burning effects. It would be mildly warm.
Pros: I like the larger head of the light. I was holding it about 4 inches away from the face and I think it covers the whole face pretty well. It also good for a back/chest treatment. I got myself into a habit of meditating under the light. Sometimes I would just take a nap. Couldn't do it with any handheld or desktop light. It's nice that I don't have to hold it. I have a red light that is small and have to hold it to an area of skin 10 minutes at the time and it takes forever. The good thing, I can watch TV while doing that.
Cons: Can't take the light with me on a road since it's just too big. Can't do much while doing this treatment. The eyes have to be closed, otherwise they get irritated. Can listen to music, sleep, listen to audio books... Adults, careful with under eye area, might get too dry. Better cover it with something besides the tiny goggles.
I had a minor miscommunication with the customer support while the light was still under the 30 day warranty and they took care of my issue really well. Hope they will provide the same wonderful support or at least some advise after the warranty is over.
I'm glad I gave it a try. I think it works. Just have to make time and use it regularly.
Product Review: In 5 days of use, it's actually worked!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gotta tell you guys that this one is actually working for me. I got this a few days ago and have started using it since then. My acne is mild to moderate but I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible so I used the product NOT as directed, LOL.. In every session I used it for more than an hour! And sometimes even more than that when I fell asleep under it. And that was everyday! Dunno if it's gonna do wrong on my skin because of that prolonged exposure to the light. I hope not. But otherwise it's working pretty well on me. My acnes have shrunk. In 24 hours I've also noticed some of my pimples have become pustulated, which basically means the bacteria have very well reacted to the light. Even my pores are tightening. And my skin- well, it's pretty much the same in texture but with a little bit of change. I can say it's slightly smoother. Well, we can't see the total result of it in just a few days of using it. So Imma come back here to post any updates.
PS:
Trophy Skin, you should give me some tokens for giving you a positive review on this one! (^_~)
Product Review: It Helps Maintain My Skin
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tried this product for over a year and so far, it has kept my skin under control. I also found out that I am allergic to milk products, so after cutting out everything dairy, my skin has improved immensely. I still use Blue MD because my skin breaks out when I have stress or if I had eaten too much sugary snacks. The company is really good about sending a replacement if there is a problem with it within the first year.
