Anecdotally, many of us can attest to the efficacy of LED light when we use it regularly: “Since incorporating LED in my skincare routine, I’ve seen significant improvements in the clarity and texture of my acne-prone skin,” says beauty writer Tracy Achonwa. “With regular use, the deep bumps I used to struggle with have disappeared and new breakouts are a rarity.” Vogue contributing beauty editor, Lauren Murdoch Smith, also swears by red light therapy for its rejuvenating effects. “10 minutes each day is all you need to brighten, plump and reduce the appearance of wrinkles,” she says. A-listers, including Victoria Beckham and the Kardashians, are also fans.
