How Does the Bye Acne Treatment Work?
The Bye Acne tool combines FDA-cleared blue and red light therapies to target and treat acne in just three minutes! Blue light works to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and regulate sebum production, whereas red light penetrates deeper into the skin to brighten hyperpigmentation and reduce inflammation.
Using the Bye Acne tool couldn't be simpler. After charging for about 30 minutes, my device was ready to be used. I washed and dried my face, turned on the device, and held it over my problem areas. The Bye Acne automatically turns off when the three minute treatment is done, so there's no need to hassle a timer. If I was feeling particularly lazy at the end of a long day, I would lay in bed, hold the device with one hand, and scroll on TikTok with the other while I complete my treatment!
Should I Try Solawave's Bye Acne?
Solawave has been on my radar for a while after I heard that celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Sydney Sweeney consider them a holy grail. I have always struggled not only with acne prone skin but also with popping my pimples. My normal acne takes about a week to clear up but if I pop them, it takes even longer and usually scars. Now, as soon as I feel a pimple coming, I'll use the Bye Acne and most of the time, it gets stopped in its tracks. I've also used it to help speed up the healing process of popped pimples. These were my results from just one use on a pimple I had popped between my eyebrows!
These pictures were taken one day apart, after one treatment with my Bye Acne. I had popped a pimple between my eyebrows and it was red and enflamed. The day after my first treatment, I had reduced redness, less swelling, and the pimple was starting to shrink! I wanted to take another photo to show the rest of the healing process, but after my next Bye Acne treatment, it had disappeared!
In my experience, I think that Solawave's Bye Acne is a game-changer. I've seen amazing results whether I use it as the first step in a long skincare routine, or as my only treatment if I'm feeling too lazy to go through the motions of serums and oils.
Solawave also has a 30-day customer satisfaction guarantee and a one year limited warranty. If you aren't seeing results within the first 30 days after receiving your order, you can contact them for a refund to your original form of payment.

"My skin has reacted so well to the red/blue light therapy. I very very rarely have acne anymore and people are constantly commenting on my skin. Plus, Three friends have already purchased one after hearing about my experience and seeing the results. It’s awesome."

"I’ve been struggling with acne for so long and tried every possible cream but none of them worked. My acne cleared in a week with this product."

"Got this for my husband in hopes it would help his almost weekly stress outbreaks. It’s been a game changer. Since he started using it I don’t think he’s had one multiple pore cystic pimple that takes weeks to heal. Now it’s part of this nightly routine."
