If you use red light therapy as part of your skincare routine, you may have wondered which serum to use with your LED mask.
The right formula can help to enhance your LED results while hydrating and supporting your skin. So, what’s the best serum to use with red light therapy? Here's what to look for and why some serums are better than others.
Should you use a serum for red light therapy?
You don't need a serum for red light therapy to work, but adding one to your routine can provide extra skincare benefits. Some can even boost your results.
Most skincare products are best applied after your LED session. However, some face serums can be used before and during a red light therapy session, like the CurrentBody Green Tea Serum.
If you're new to LED, our guide to how to prep your skin for red light therapy covers what you need to know before your session.
What serum should you use and what ingredients should you look for?
When choosing a face serum for red light therapy, look for lightweight formulas with ingredients that support your skin. It’s even better if you find a red light therapy serum specifically formulated for use with your LED mask. Hydrating and antioxidant-rich ingredients are a beneficial place to start, particularly if you want to use your serum before your light therapy session.
Green Tea Extract
Naturally rich in antioxidants, Green Tea Extract has been shown in independent research to visibly accelerate LED results.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid helps attract and retain moisture, leaving skin feeling hydrated and looking smoother and plumper.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps support a brighter, more even-looking complexion while providing antioxidant protection.
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, commonly used in skincare to support the appearance of smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Not every skincare ingredient is suitable for use before red light therapy. If your routine includes active ingredients such as Retinol or exfoliating acids, check the product instructions before using them ahead of your LED session.
