IMPORTANT STUFF:
This app was developed by a dermatologist.
A study published by the British Journal of Dermatology showed blue and red light treatments eliminated p-acne bacteria (a major cause of acne) and reduces skin blemishes by 76%. Studies showed that light treatments were almost twice as effective as benzoyl peroxide, the main ingredient in Proactiv® and other common over-the-counter blemish treatments.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Begin by choosing a light option from the tab bar. The Blue & Red alternating light is the recommended option.
- Blue Light: fights bacteria
- Red Light: helps heal skin
After selecting a light, hold the screen close to your skin for at least 2 minutes per area. Use as often as desired.
Suggestion: Use AcneApp while talking on the phone – it’s less boring that way. Just remember to switch sides.
WARNING:
Please do not use this application if you are currently taking medications that make your skin sensitive to light or if you have any medical condition that makes your skin sensitive to light. If any problems develop, please discontinue use immediately.
This app is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended for treatment of any disease or medical condition.
