reVive Light Therapy IIa Blue & Red Light Therapy

I have been using the RiVive Light Therapy for 10 days now, and am amazed at the difference in my complexion. Blemishes cleared, pores tightened, sun damaged skin feels smoother. Just 3 minutes, 3 times a day showed immediate improvement just the first day and continued improvement in the days following. While I was hesitant to purchase the product, due to the price, it is a quality product, easy to use in the comfort of my own home, and will save money over going to a salon for similar treatments. Highly recommend!

I have been using this panel for almost 3 months now and can confidently say that this product has worked for me. Most of my adult life, I have had acne/blemishes/cysts on my back that have been persistent and impossible for me to get rid of – until now. Prior to this panel, the only ways I have been able to “treat” this at all was one of the following ways:

– in a very difficult way, attempt to scrub with a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide acne wash using a loffah
– in a very public, embarrassing way, attempt to get plenty of natural sunlight (while also trying to avoid a sunburn)
– intake medium dosages of Vitamin A (this is essentially what accutane/isotretinoin does in higher doses), however this is not medically safe for most people and has a litany of side effects

Ultimately, all of the above methods were fruitless for me and lead to me essentially giving up on trying any other ways to clear the skin on my back. As anyone with genetic skin problems will tell you, you will have “good” weeks and “bad” weeks – basically, without any outside conditions changing, you will notice your skin clear up and then become very broken out in a cyclical nature. This happens ad nauseum and to no end. It is very frustrating. If you experience cystic acne, it is very physically painful. It is mentally damaging, it will effect your self-image. I could keep going, but anyone reading this review experiencing what I’m describing has probably seen enough.

This panel is 100% the only thing I have used that has been convenient, easy and effective. It’s that simple. Yes, it is expensive – however, when compared to all the other failed attempts I’ve made in terms of both time and monetary value, this is a bargain knowing what I know now. When using this panel on the blue-light LED settting for 15-minutes per side of my back (in 3 minute increments) every day – I saw significant results within 2-3 days. I have continuously been using the panel as I just described for the past 3 months and have continually noticed the results are always improving. Again, I cannot recommend this product enough. My only complaint is that I didn’t purchase one sooner or just know about its existence much earlier in my life.

I have been very careful with my product and the hinge has already started to fall apart. The inside of the hinge started to completely come out the top of the device causing the hinge to break apart. The company kind of makes its a hassle to try to get it fixed within their warranty. This is there official policy on something that doesn’t last within the one year warranty “The warranty process consists of you sending the device in and inspection is completed and its deemed defective due to manufacture issues only it will be replaced/ repaired, and we will cover the shipping cost to send it back. All the shipping expenses are customers responsibility to have it sent in, and the RMA warranty resolution takes between 2 to 4 weeks. ” should be higher qualify for the price. Also I hate that it turns off after only 3 mins. You have press that button so many times just to get one 9 min session.
Update: Here is the sellers official response to this issue;
“Per quality assurance, after reviewing your picture:
Warranty covers manufacturer defects. It does not cover damages caused by accident or misuse.
The only way the pin comes out, is to open the panel as it is a tablet, which will pop the pin out.”
I have been very careful with this item and it still fell apart. you might want to spend your money elsewhere.

I’ve been using this light therapy device for almost a month now. I have other light therapy devices however this one called to my attention because of the versatility of it and the amount of coverage you can get from the device. I can honestly say if you stay consistent it does help your skin improve. My breakouts where to the point where they where painful and no matter what I did skincare wise etc it just was not budging. I believe this has made a difference in my skin. I will attach photos (first picture taken 4/29 and the other as of today 6/1) as proof although honestly it makes me uncomfortable to know my skin looked that bad. But progress is progress and although this device is a huge investment maybe it might help someone else. I was also able to purchase this with my FSA/HRA/HSA card which was amazing. Also make sure you sign up for the warranty through Revive just in case since it is an expensive item!
