Can I use the ABP11 Toner with Red Light Therapy?

Maysama’s Green Rooibos Extract is an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient proven to accelerate and amplify the effects of red light therapy. Whilst all of Maysama’s formulations include our star API ingredient, whether you use it in conjunction with your Red Light Therapy may depend on your skin type and skin sensitivity.

For the best results from red light therapy, it is always advisable to start with clean skin and then apply water-based, hydrating skincare products. The use of a gentle resurfacing toner prior to LED treatment can help to remove dead skin cells and present a more even skin surface. This potentially can improve light penetration and may lead to better results for some individuals.

For others, however, the use even a gentle exfoliating toner may increase sensitivity to sunlight, and so potentially also to red LED light. 

For this reason, if you have reactive or sensitive skin, we would not recommend using our ABP11 toner with your LED therapy treatments. Instead use it in your evening routine, up to 3 times per week, on alternative evenings to your retinol/al/tretinoin.
