Acne Awareness Month: Exploring Pro-Approved Acne Care and The Latest Omnilux Clear Study Results

Despite affecting up to 50 million Americans each year, acne continues to be a catalyst for low self-esteem and deep-rooted distress. At its best, it’s a nuisance—at its worst, it can tear apart confidence and spur a pang of anxiety with every glance in the mirror.

At Omnilux, we’re committed to bringing everyone comfort in their own skin while promoting effective, expert-backed acne care. This June, to celebrate Acne Awareness Month, we’re thrilled to share impactful insights from Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Glynis Ablon, MD, FAAD underline the benefits of our collection for blemish-prone skin, and reveal a sneak peek into our new Omnilux Clear clinical study.

Meet Dr. Ablon, Award-Winning Dermatologist and Scientific Advisory Board Member

In the realm of acne care, dermatologists are the MVPs. They can help you cut through the noise and achieve real, noticeable results, without damaging your skin barrier or falling victim to uncomfortable side effects.

As one of our renowned Scientific Advisory Board members, Dr. Glynis Ablon plays a crucial role in aligning Omnilux LED with the most up-to-date dermatological recommendations. As a board-certified dermatologist, Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA, founder of Ablon Skin Institute and Research Center in Manhattan Beach, and author of over 50 research papers, three books, and two book chapters, she’s an inimitable force in dermatology and skincare. For skin concerns like acne, she understands the value of blending cutting-edge technology with accessible at-home care.

Dr. Ablon recently facilitated Omnilux’s new clinical study of Omnilux Clear, our mask designed to target acne with FDA-cleared LED therapy, all from the comfort of home. Here’s her take on it:

“Acne is one of the most common, emotionally challenging, and multi-factorial skin conditions I treat, which is why I’m always looking for safe, effective solutions. In a clinical study I recently conducted on the Omnilux Clear LED device, 93% of participants experienced a decrease in their acne—an incredible result! Omnilux Clear empowers my patients with an at-home solution that truly delivers professional-level results. It’s become a trusted tool in my practice and a game-changer for acne care.”

Sneak Peek: The Latest Omnilux Clear Clinical Study Results

Evidence of Omnilux Clear’s ability to eradicate bacteria, reduce acne, and calm redness continues to grow. Dr. Ablon’s soon-to-be-published clinical study of Omnilux Clear revealed new findings and remarkable improvements that we couldn’t wait to share—especially with Acne Awareness Month underway.

In this study, 93% of Omnilux Clear users experienced a decrease in inflammatory acne, 83% would likely recommend the device to a friend, and 79% would likely choose it over a topical acne treatment. Now that’s what we’d call a resounding success! But let’s take an even closer look at the study participants’ personal wins:

One user experienced an 86% decrease in inflammatory acne lesions. And, while they had moderate redness at the start of the study, now they have none.

Another user experienced a 72% decrease in the bacteria in their pores.

A user experienced a 59% decrease in the bacteria in their pores and a 28% decrease in redness severity.

This study is in the process of being published, and the full study will be available soon. Watch this space!

Finding Care You Can Trust This Acne Awareness Month

Acne can morph skincare from a self-care ritual into a nerve-wracking gamble. What if this cream triggers a serious breakout? What if yet another topical just doesn’t work?

The root cause of acne—and the many factors that can exacerbate it—are often mysterious and complex. While clogged pores from bacteria and excess sebum are behind the inflamed bumps, skin type, genetics, and hormonal imbalances play a major role. That means the answer to calming stubborn breakouts isn’t as simple as washing your face more or slathering on a standard spot treatment. If these tactics don’t work for you, it doesn’t mean hope is lost—you just haven’t yet found what works for your skin.

That’s why Acne Awareness Month is critical: In our world of filtered social media perfection, education helps dissolve the acne stigma and shine a spotlight on effective care for blemish-prone skin.

At Omnilux, we’re committed to efficacious, compassionate blemish care through innovation and professional expertise. Our products provide a well-rounded defense against bacteria, redness, and swelling, with user-friendly products that help you stay consistent, even when life gets hectic.

Omnilux Clear is our OG LED light therapy mask for acne. This FDA-cleared device uses 415nm blue and 633nm red light wavelengths to target inflammation and bacteria. Blue light kills C. acnes bacteria on the skin’s surface while red light stimulates collagen production, curbs excess oil production, and reduces inflammation. Together, these benefits help clear breakouts fast while softening acne scarring, making it a one-two punch for blemish-prone skin.
The Blemish Eraser is part of our Omnilux Mini collection to target blemishes and redness. Along with the same blue and red light wavelengths used in our full-size Clear LED mask, it uses hydrocolloid patches that adhere to the skin, infused with salicylic acid and green tea antioxidants for a soothing, pore-clearing boost.
The Clear Rescue Bundle is our latest topical trio, formulated with help from renowned skincare specialist Dr. Hany Abi Ghosn. It’s designed to complement your LED therapy treatments and round out your routine.

Salicylic Acid Cleanser gently exfoliates and clears congested skin.
Noni Balancing Serum quenches skin and balances excess oil.
Squalane Jelly Moisturizer locks in lightweight moisture and calms skin irritation.
