BEST LED Acne Patch
Riki Loves Riki Riki Miracle Patch
The FDA-cleared, silicone Riki Loves Riki Miracle Patch attaches to the skin over a pimple to deliver purple light (a mix of red and blue LED light) in a quick, six-minute treatment for faster healing. “When you get an acne cyst, topical products don’t really help that much because they have a hard time penetrating the stratum corneum. A cyst is from the follicle, so it’s in the dermis, which is deeper,” says New York dermatologist Dan Belkin, MD. “Blue LED light has been shown to destroy acne-causing bacteria and red light has been shown to reduce inflammation. Unlike most topical products, it can actually penetrate, and it’s very safe. This is a very innovative way to treat an acne cyst proactively at home.”
