Skin and oral care brand Foreo launches ESPADA 2 acne treatment device 

Utilizing the combination of powerful skin-clearing blue LED light and the brand's proprietary T-Sonic pulsation technology, the ESPADA 2 device was launched by skin and oral care brand Foreo last month to support consumers with their skin care needs. Designed to help clear existing acne, blemishes, and inflammation, the ESPADA 2 works to eliminate acne bacteria at its core to treat and heal acne-prone skin. 

The ESPADA 2 targets individual acne blemishes and also naturally regulated sebum production over time, which means users can avoid the dry skin that sometimes results from more traditional acne treatments. This FDA-cleared device is clinically proven to address acne issues and "100% of ESPADA 2 users report clearer skin" as detailed on the company's website. 

The ESPADA 2 retails on the company's website in three colors for $169.00. 

New K-brand skin care line features retinol-alternative Regelica Bakuchiol and Niacinamide Anti-Aging Cream

The Bakuchiol and Niacinamide Anti-Aging Cream also features seven seaweed extracts that are rich in minerals to hydrate skin, plus niacinamide to further strengthen the skin barrier.

The cream works by addressing thinning skin, which contributes to signs of aging like sagging tearing. By reinforcing the skin barrier, the product also helps protect skin against damage from environmental exposure and pollutants.

Regelica’s Bakuchiol and Niacinamide Anti-Aging Cream retails on the company’s website for $72.00.
