Can I use Omnilux Blemish Eraser with my current skincare products?
Omnilux Blemish Eraser is compatible with most skincare routines, however we do not recommend using your device in conjunction with Accutane or retinol products, as there is always a risk of reaction. While some individuals do use both products concurrently with no adverse reaction, transparency regarding potential effects is paramount to us. We strongly advise consulting with your dermatologist or provider, who can give you personalized guidance based on your skin's unique needs.

Our products have not been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Red and blue light therapy is very safe overall but because we do not have enough information about use while pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend not using unless approved by your doctor.
