Is this product effective in treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?

I was a skeptic, but I swear by it now. It's certainly no cure for SAD, but it does give some temporary relief. I would advise against using it all day, however; I found it makes me agitated if I have it on for more than 30 minutes at a time.

I am not a doctor so I can't answer this question. I can say..I lived in Colorado for ten years and moved back to Minnesota where the sun does not show as much and the light has helped me out a lot! I have it on every day at my desk and I love it!

I really am not for sure about that for as it would depend on what kind of ailment you are dealing with...for an upset stomach it wouldwork wonders, for headaches and whatever, I don't think it would hurt, but not sure how much it would help with that condition...it helps to remove toxins so it definitely is going to benefit the body in some way ...

To have any effect on SAD, the standard is 10,000 lux and that is quite bright! This doesn't give any spec on lux so probably no effect on Seasonal Affective Disorder at all.

I find the product helps with both dark circles and puffy bags. It has been the most effective product for me. The elimination of my problem areas are not 100% but perhaps 70%.

There is no wavelength info on the box or unit itself. Its 10,000 LUX brightness is adequate for treatment of SAD, according to scientific literature. The wavelength is cooler than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Absolutely! I use mine nightly and it truly softened my skin and brought a bit of a shine and glow back. I did feel a bit of stinging/tingling at first that lasted several minutes but even that stopped happening pretty quickly. This is a really good product that does what it promises.

I would have to say yes, each color light is effective for different things. I want to add that the red and yellow lights have helped a lot with my seasonal depression as well. I try to do a daily rotation using all colors. I'm extremely satisfied with my results.

Fish Oil 1300 mg, Lemon Balm 300mg - Rhodiola 340mg; Passionflower extract 200mg; Damiana 200mg; Vit D3 1200IU; Magnesium 150mg; Chomium 200 mcg. I just know this has helped me go from depressed to happy. I am not sure whether it is a state of mind or Sunny Mood - I just know I feel better.

Yes, it is. My psychiatrist recommended I use something like this. I did research, and the main thing she said was it needs to be 10,000 LUX. I've had mine for a number of years, and it helps a lot. I've given one as a gift and recommended it to others. I'm very happy with this product.

I've never used it in the day time but I will say I believe it would work...it's pretty effective in my opinion. I would imagine it would work even if you've gotten nighttime sleep and wanted to use it after but I've never used it like that before either :-)

Yes...but it is not over night. you must use it daily and follow up with some eye moisture product. I find the lights to be wonderful and they do work....trick is you are applying a light to your face and it just makes sense to use facial products. I also follow up with.. the needling tool also purchased through amazon.I have had remarkable effect..but I do this each and everyday. Some use it here and there and it does not give them the results they are hoping for. You will get them..just use every day..its fast to use...but it takes time so dont get discouraged..when it starts to work you will be one happy camper..I was amazed and you can do it while watching tv. I did ask if anyone thought the area's that dont have the light directly on the skin will be helped....yes was the answer..this light baths our whole face. It is working!

It should work. As long as your not looking for it to decrease dark circles.

yes it feels so great. my sister says it calms her so she uses her at night before bed...most that say it does not work dont use it everyday..you must. You will see great results. I say a remarkable improvement on my sun damaged hands. I just happened to decide one evening to put it on when a tv show was on. 15 minutes each hand..many have been to long but it worked and my face it great...it works and IT DOES NOT GET TO HOT AS MENTIONED BELOW..IT JUST DOES NOT..it feels so good. I just love it and do use it on my neck the creapness is so ugly. Its working....I love it..

I would say yes. I'm not certain because I use it for another skin condition and it helped alot

The pkg doesn't say if it's for day or night....so I was using it as both. I think Their Day & Night Creams with hyaluronic acid works better than this.

It probably will work for you, but it dod nothing for me other than burn my skin. I used it for a little over 2wks and didnt see any results. I was very disappointed in this product.
