Anyone promising a visible transformation in a week is not being straight with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe around my eyes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed and near-infrared are not UV and are considered eye-safe at these intensities. Cut-outs are provided; most people close their eyes because it is bright rather than because it is dangerous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with retinol?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but not simultaneously. LED on bare skin, then retinol afterwards — or LED in the morning and retinol at night, which is what most people settle on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it help acne?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed light reduces the inflammation around a breakout, so spots tend to settle faster and mark less. The blue mode targets acne bacteria more directly. Neither is a substitute for an acne treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it stops working?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwelve-month warranty on the electronics. Email us with your order number and we will replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 nights, or your money back.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use it four times a week on bare skin for two months and photograph your face on day one. If you cannot see the difference at week eight, email us for a full refund and keep the mask. We are confident because this is the product with the evidence behind it — but we would rather you tested that yourself than took our word for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the ritual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLED first on bare skin, then \u003cstrong\u003eHydra Veil™\u003c\/strong\u003e, then \u003cstrong\u003eGlow Oil™\u003c\/strong\u003e.
