BEAUTY TOOL REVIEW: NEUTROGENA LIGHT THERAPY ACNE MASK

BEAUTY TOOL REVIEW: NEUTROGENA LIGHT THERAPY ACNE MASK

LED is the acronym for light-emitting diode, a device used to reduce acne , increase skin circulation, and improve the collagen content in the skin. The LED works by releasing light into the skin to stimulate specific responses, at precise depths of the skin. Each color of light corresponds to a different depth (nanometer) in the skin. When the colored light reaches a specific depth in the skin ,it triggers a reaction such as stimulation of circulation or reducing the amount of bacteria. In spa, we use LED light for rejuvenation and its individual wavelengths are used at low intensity and are not as strong as the laser or IPL modalities.
I bought the Neutrogena light therapy acne mask purely out of curiosity. I had a spots a few months ago, came across this at the grocery store and wondered if it would cut it.

NEUTROGENA LIGHT THERAPY ACNE MASK ( CLAIM)
With the light therapy you can expect a reduction in the appearance of breakouts , one step treatment for your face
and daily 10 minute acne treatment



HOW I USED IT
PM
I used it once a day( preferably at night) after cleansing my skin. I sit with it for the preprogrammed 10 mins then I apply my serum and moisturizer and off to bed.
With the first activator, I used it every day as instructed. I tried to refrain from using any treatment prior because I wanted to insure that results were strictly from the mask as much as possible.
With my current activator, I use it sparingly. Whenever I have a little bump or two, I would use the mask consecutively in conjunction with my actives until inflammation subsides .

HOW LONG DID I TEST THE PRODUCT?
47days

RECOMMENDED
I would only recommend this for a GRADE I acne. Minor breakouts, mostly open comedones, few closed comedones and few papules.


REPURCHASE
Maybe not . I really don't need the at home version since I have the professional option at work(spa).
RATING: 3
RATING SCALE
Very Satisfied = 5, Satisfied = 4, Neutral =3, Dissatisfied = 2, Very Dissatisfied = 1, N/A = Void Response

PRO

  • More affordable in the short run. It’s great for people who may not have a robust budget but would like an add on to resolve their acne. 
  • For people with GRADE I Acne, if used daily with the as part of a skincare routine targeting acne, it may yield positive results. 
  • It was comfortable to wear 

Activator


CON

  • I had a huge issue with the fact that the company did not indicate the depth (nanometer) if each light color.
  • Definitely does not replace in clinic LED therapy . On the box it states that it’s “dermatologist in office acne technology” which can be misunderstood. I believe what they should have said was SIMILAR to blah, blah because I think it’s a little misleading to state the former.
