3. Omnilux md Clear-U
Clinically proven to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris:
Dermatologists all over the world have been using Omnilux for more than 4 years to successfully treat acne .
What is acne?
Acne is NOT caused by bad diet or greasy foods. In fact, acne develops when the sebaceous glands
in a person’s skin produces excess oil (sebum). This oil combines with cells that line the gland walls
and clogs the skin’s pores . Normal skin bacteria colonize these pores and the body’s response
causes the inflammation or reddening of the skin that we associate with acne.
How does it work?
Researchers have discovered that something as simple as light holds the key to clearing up problem
skin. When your skin is flooded with blue and red light, the bacteria self destructs and inflammation is
decreased. Your acne fades and your skin heals.
When should I use Omnilux md clear-U?
Use Omnilux md clear-U at the first sign of an acne breakout.
In clinical studies, the Omnilux md clear-U has been proven to:
   -Clear acne lesions within 8 weeks in 70% of subjects
