How One Man’s Acne Journey Became a Life-Changing Skincare Revolution

Beatrice Wilter
ByBeatrice WilterAug 14, 2023In Partnership With Solawave

Andrew Silberstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Solawave knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with acne. As a kid, his confidence took a hit as he grappled with persistent breakouts.

He went as far as selling candy door-to-door to afford a dermatologist who introduced him to a novel concept: light therapy.💡

Planting the Seed of Revolution 🌱

A seed was planted in Andrew's mind, but it wouldn't sprout until years later when his path crossed with Eli Bailey, a passionate advocate for making life-changing technology affordable and accessible.

Their shared vision led them to quit their jobs, move into a tiny LA apartment, and put their minds together to create a revolutionary, pro-aging skincare device: the Solawave 4-in-1 Advanced Skincare Wand.

The Solawave Promise

With red light therapy at its core, the Solawave promised a comprehensive solution for skincare woes. The wand was built to deliver impressive results, from lifting and defining the face to smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, under eye puffiness, blemishes, and dark marks.

The duo worked tirelessly, crafting a device that would amplify the effects of serums and moisturizers. They designed a compact, portable tool with a long-lasting charge that could deliver a spa-like facial massage and therapeutic warmth right at home.

And my favorite part? All you needed was three minutes, three times a week.

The Moment of Truth: First Testimonials

 

Individual Results May Vary

When the first prototype was ready, they sent it to an eager test subject - Andrew's 68-year-old mom. Her ecstatic call a few weeks later, praising the results, was their first taste of success.

More rave reviews followed from friends and family, and a clinical study highlighted Solawave's positive impact on all skin types, ages, and tones.

With a price point of $160, including a 30-day free trial, free shipping, and a one-year warranty, Solawave was set to redefine skincare. It was a pro-aging device that anyone could use, regardless of age, gender, or skin tone. And to boost the skincare device's results, they introduced the ultra-hydrating, fragrance-free Renew Complex Activating Serum.

The Solawave Revolution

"At Solawave, we empower people to take charge of their skin by placing modern, proven technology into tools and topicals that not only feel great to use, but deliver amazing results." -Andrew Silberstein

After months of cramped living, unending trials, and countless reviews, Solawave hit the market, making modern, proven skincare technology accessible to all. Andrew and Eli's mission to help people feel truly confident in their own skin is coming to life, one Solawave wand at a time.

Seriously, you can’t blink without seeing a celebrity or influencer out there using a Solawave! 👀 And now, it’s a best-selling, 4x award winning magic skincare wand.

And thanks to the success of the Advanced Skincare Wand, Solawave released the 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand, with twice as much light power and galvanic current and all the important benefits of the initial Solawave amplified.

From there, Solawave's best-selling product offerings have grown significantly, including:

  • Bye Acne: A (well named) spot treatment device for anyone who's frustrated with pimples that pop up during inopportune times (e.g. a wedding, date night, etc.).
  • Wrinkle & Bacteria Clearing Light Therapy Mask: A hands-free, efficient dose of light therapies to help with a myriad of skin issues, right from the comfort of your home.
  • The Solabiome line: A four product hyper-clean skincare line developed in Korea that helps boost the skin's moisture barrier and microbiome. This incredible routine meets or exceeds every global clean beauty standard.

Looking back, Andrew's acne journey and Eli's vision have morphed into a skincare revolution that continues to change lives worldwide. They've turned a personal struggle and a shared dream into a truly transformative skincare tool.

That's the magic of Solawave—a testament to innovation, resilience, and a steadfast belief in making good skincare accessible to all.
