At Kivo, we use blue light in the 460nm wavelength range because it’s one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to treat acne and improve skin clarity—without drying your skin out or relying on harsh medications. This specific wavelength works by penetrating just below the skin’s surface, where it creates a photodynamic reaction that kills Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes)—the bacteria largely responsible for breakouts. It also helps calm inflammation, reduce oil production, and prevent future congestion, making it a natural solution for clearer, calmer skin. Research has shown that consistent blue light therapy can significantly reduce acne lesions over time, often with fewer side effects than traditional topical or oral treatments. With Kivo’s targeted blue light technology, you’re not just masking breakouts—you’re helping your skin heal at the source.
