Customer Reviews of BlueMD - Acne Blue Light Therapy Treatment
Customer Review: Well... It didn't work for me.
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I start, I find it odd that most reviewers that have written a review for this product
have never written a review before although they claim they have used so many other acne treatment products including those hand held lamps over many years...
And they don't even have "Amazon Verified Purchase" mark on their reviews...
Anyway, I purchased this product in August, used it for about 2 months, and returned it because it didn't work for me. But the "didn't work" part is not what I'm trying to share with you.
First of all, the product comes with protective goggles because the light is VERY intense and your eyes need to be protected. It really hurt my eyes even though I added some more protection to the goggles as the light is so intense and you have to put your face (or body part) DIRECTLY under the lamp no more than 6 inches away (The product comes with the manual). After each session, my eyes were red and watery and it was pretty painful.
I couldn't actually cover my forehead because it hurt my eyes way too much.
But, it might just be me as my eyes are a little light sensitive.
Also, it says 30 minutes per day and about 5 times a week if your acne condition is severe. You might think this is not much, but the lamp is actually not that big and your face or body part should be directly under it. You will see what I mean when you get the product. The applied part feels tingled, and gets warm. This means, unless you have a ridiculously small face, you need to do this at least 4 times to cover your entire face (Unless it's just chicks, forehead, or chin).
So thats... 30 minutes X 4 = 2 hours.
Although you can adjust the height of the lamp and the head of the lamp and all that to make it as comfortable as possible, it is not as easy as it sounds.
You have to put your face directly under very intense light that you need protective goggles. And you cannot be more than 6 inches away. You cannot see anything, and you cannot do anything other than listening to music. It is VERY boring. One reviewer said it was relaxing just listening to music and feeling his skin getting better etc etc. Well... He mustve had a very mild acne problem over a very small area if he needed only 1 session... Or he's never used the product.
2 hours a day is a HUGE dedication. Also I didn't like the tingling sensation when I was using the lamp.
And THE LAMP GETS SOOOO RIDICULOUSLY HOT. You actually smell something burning for a few weeks. I asked Trophyskin about it they said it's normal.
Anyway, all I want to say is that using this product can be VERY tedious and requires a huge commitment.
I couldn't find out about any of these because they weren't in the reviews or the description. Everyone was just talking about how well it works and stuff.
Using this product was very very tiring and barely bearable for me.
On top of that, It didn't work for me, so I wasted many many hours on top of the shipping cost.
SO WHY AM I GIVING IT 3 STARS INSTEAD OF 1???
Good point.
It's because Trophyskin was very responsive to me, and when I had a problem with the product (The joint was broken when I got it) they had fedex pick it up and sent a new one right away.
Also, although it says 30 days on amazon, they still refunded after about 50 days for me.
My suggestion: Like I said over and over, using this product is VERY time consuming. Bear in mind that you need at least 4 sessions to cover the entire face and you cannot do ANYTHING other than listening to music. NO YOU CANT SLEEP IF IT ACCIDENTALLY FALLS ON YOUR FACE you gona get some serious burn and even if it doesn't you just can't. The light is way too intense.
But if you can spend some time on this, definitely try it. IT didn't work for me, but it did for other people apparently. If it doesn't work for you, you can always return it.
I'm going to try "NatureBright Clarity Skin Rejuvenation Light" now. It says I need only 15 minutes a day and it looks like one session covers the entire face. I have Amazon prime but I still had to pay $20 for shipping which is ridiculous... hopefully this will work better for me.
Description of BlueMD - Acne Blue Light Therapy Treatment
Dermatologists have been using Blue Light Therapy to reduce and eliminate acne breakouts for over 20 years. This technology is FDA Approved and has been proven effective in numerous clinical studies conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology and the British Academy of Dermatology. Blue Light Therapy is safe and effective, but it has never been affordable for the average acne sufferer. Trophy Skin was formed by a group of professionals from the medical aesthetics industry, and the founders previously owned a medical spa that has performed thousands of laser and light based skin rejuvenation treatments. We set out to create a device that reduces and eliminates acne using clinically proven technology, while remaining affordable for people from all walks of life. Trophy Skin uses a proprietary, custom-manufactured bulb that emits the exact spectrum of light needed to kill acne causing bacteria. Trophy Skin is used to prevent acne breakouts before they form, reduce the severity of acne after it has formed, and over time, permanently reduce or remove acne from your life. The light causes the bacteria to die, which in turn shrivels the pimples, pustules, and cysts on your skin. Consistent use of Blue Light Therapy also helps decrease the amount of oil and sebum on your skin, and has been shown to shrink the pore size in some individuals. Goggles included for your convenience. A Note on Handheld Devices: Try holding your hand up to your face for 10, 15, or 20 minutes. It won't work, we promise. Handheld devices are usually under-powered as it is, since they run on batteries. Add to that the short amount of time you would actually hold it to your face, and you get a recipe for disappointment.
