PMD Clean Redvolution Review: Proven 2024

I do almost everything in the name of beauty. For example, I gave up the facial cleanser and replaced it with micellar water to see how well it would cleanse my skin. I also tried colorful eyeliner to see if it would improve my mood (spoiler alert: it did). It’s a privilege to test things out firsthand and share with the public which trends and viral products are worth their hard-earned money. One such device? The PMD Clean Redvolution ($172), a 2-in-1 facial device with red light LED therapy on one side and a soft-bristled facial cleansing device on the other.

I added the PMD Clean Redvolution to my skincare routine for seven days. Day after day I realized how much I enjoyed using it. After a few sessions, which I planned to last between nine and fifteen minutes, I noticed that the acne scars on my cheeks were fading. When I completed the week-long experiment, the results encouraged me to continue this practice. Keep reading for a more thorough and honest review of the PMD Clean Redvolution.

First impression

When I first got the device I thought: cuuuut! The ivory-colored silicone body with gold accents makes it feel very chic. I also immediately liked that it was small, barely eight inches tall, meaning it was easy to pack. (I travel a lot and like to keep the same skincare routine regardless of continents and time zones.)

The transparent plastic case that comes with it isn’t much bigger and keeps your device free from external contaminants. In three words, the PMD Clean Redvolution struck me as luxurious, portable and practical.

My honest review of the PMD Clean Redvolution

I keep my skincare routine pretty simple: cleanser, a hydrating collagen serum, an eye cream, moisturizer, and SPF. I had never tried red light therapy before I got it PMD Beauty’s new gadget, so I didn’t really know what to expect. For my fellow newcomers, the modality – which uses low-wavelength red light to rejuvenate the skin – is being praised for its purported benefits of stimulating cellular activity and improving collagen productionwhat can help smooth fine lines, acne scarsand more.

Since it’s made with medical-grade LED lights, you’ll need to wear goggles to protect your eyes from the light rays so you can’t watch TV or scroll through social media. I’m guilty of doom scrolling on several occasions, so this was a great way to stay away from the screen. Nothing could prepare me for the meditative opportunity that basking in red light therapy provides.

A confession: I had a hard time figuring out how hard and how long to press the power button to turn on the PMD Clean Redvolution. It turns out that you only press it lightly once. Do not hold the button down or it will not turn on. I also had some trouble figuring out whether or not the tool was charged. (It was partial). But once I was able to turn it on, everything became easier and I didn’t have to charge it again during the week I tested it.

I found that, with consistent use throughout the test week, the red light therapy really helped clear my acne and also addressed some minor wrinkles on my forehead and around my mouth. Granted, no one else noticed a change in my skin color – at least they didn’t say anything if they did. However, this did not affect my satisfaction with the Redvolution results. All I’m saying is, don’t expect others to notice a change if you only continue this practice for a week.

As far as the other side of the wand, the silicone cleanser was great for my eczema, which often flares up in the summer. Because the bristles have an exfoliating effect, I chose to use this every other day so as not to stress my skin. However, when I used it, I noticed the cleanser foaming and my skin felt cleaner than when I just use my hands to wash my face. So Satisfying.

Final thoughts

After just a week, I noticed that the acne scars on the side of my face were gone. The device didn’t make the spots completely invisible, but for me they were less visible – and that’s a win. Additionally, using the PMD Clean Redvolution device gave me some time to disconnect, reflect, and ground. And for me, that’s what self-care and beauty are all about.
