This hand-held “toning” device for the skin was developed to take into account aging problems such as fine lines, wrinkles and facial contours while at the same time improving the overall skin tone through the use of microcurrent technology.

Reviewers note that it is of course not as powerful as skin devices that a dermatologist could use for in-office treatments with the same problems, but they still saw results, from visible lifting in the eyes and jaws to one tighter and firmer skin quality that gives them a younger looking skin overall.

Tria

DR. Carolyn Jacob, Associate Clinical Instructor at the Feinberg School of Medicine in the Northwest and Medical Director for Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology in Chicago, recommends this blue light treatment to her acne patients as part of their entire beauty and skin care routine. But she adds that acne light therapy is particularly useful for people who need an alternative to topical or oral treatments: “We have a lot of young acne patients who are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding, and for they are limited blue light is absolutely safe, so it is a good option for these patients, “she explains.

Online reviewers were generally happy with the results they saw with the Tria Blue Light: it reduced the appearance of their blackheads and whiteheads and gave them smoother skin. However, they found that it takes about four weeks to see improvements.

The name of the UFO not only refers to its appearance, but also to what it can do, which at first glance seems like something out of science fiction. For use with Foreos disposable face masks (which are) available seperately) warms, cools and pulsates this app-enabled beauty device to increase the skin’s absorbency, allowing the serums and ingredients to penetrate deeper into the mask. One reviewer called the UFO the “dream device for face mask lovers”.

New York-based dermatologist Dr. Amanda Doyle praises the Eterno LED device for its versatility. The red light of the device is said to increase collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Doyle notes that it is also useful for reducing inflammation and redness when used with a solid acne regimen.

One online reviewer warned that the device could become uncomfortably warm during use, while another wrote that he wished he had taken a “before” picture before using the device to show how much it had improved her skin.

Clarisonic

For skin cleansing Dr. recommends Jacob the Clarisonic, the standard carrier for facial brushes that clean and exfoliate the face. “Nothing makes you cleaner,” she says, adding that she personally uses Neocutis’ Neo Cleanse peeling skin cleanser with the brush.

While some Online beauty reviewers pointed out that switching between brush extensions is not as seamless as it could be, others were too focused on their results (especially skin that felt new “soft” and “fresh” after using the Clarisonic) to do so to be regarded as a mark against the device.

Dermstore

Yes, the most dramatic product on this list is also the most expensive – but according to online beauty reviewers, because of its effectiveness, it’s worth the money (and the strange look you get when you wear it). This LED light therapy mask uses both red (to increase collagen production) and blue (to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness) light. It is intended to smooth, balance and clear the skin after 10 weeks of use.

Many reviewers found that this undoubtedly required patience, but were satisfied with their results, especially those who used it to reduce inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and the appearance of acne scars on their skin.

Some reviewers appreciated the shape of the brush, which blends easily into the contours and wrinkles of her face, while those with sensitive skin praised the various pulsation settings, the gentlest of which did not irritate her skin.
