Serums

Your skincare routine is only as strong as what you put on your skin before your device lights up. Solawave serums are designed to work hand in hand with light therapy, helping your skin absorb more, hydrate more deeply, and look smoother over time.

Every formula is fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and gentle enough for all skin types and tones.

Why Does a Serum Matter Before Light Therapy

Think of a serum as prep work for your skin. Applying a serum before using your light therapy device creates a smooth, hydrated surface that helps light energy reach your skin more evenly. The active ingredients in each serum are chosen to support what light therapy already does, so the two work together instead of separately.

Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin. Peptides help promote firmness and smoothness. And the patented LightBoost™ Complex in every Solawave serum is designed to amplify the visible effects of each light therapy session.

It is a simple step that can make a noticeable difference in how your skin looks and feels after every treatment.

What Ingredients Should You Look for in a Skincare Serum

Not all serums are the same, and the ingredients inside them matter more than the bottle they come in.

• Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most trusted hydrators in skincare. It attracts and holds moisture close to the skin, helping reduce the look of fine lines and giving skin a plumper, smoother feel.
• Peptides are small proteins that support the skin's natural structure. They help promote elasticity, firmness, and a more refreshed look over time.
• Growth Factors support the skin's renewal cycle. They work at a deeper level to help tired, aging skin look more energized and even-toned.
• Neuropeptides help soften the appearance of expression lines, especially around the eyes and forehead.

Every Solawave serum combines these kinds of ingredients with the LightBoost™ Complex, so they are specifically tuned for light therapy routines.

Which Solawave Serum Is Right for You

Each serum in the collection is made for a slightly different step in your routine.

LightBoost Wand Activating Serum

This lightweight, water-based serum is the go-to companion for the 4-in-1 Skincare Wand. Its formula activates the wand's galvanic current technology, which helps push active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides deeper into the skin. Without a conductive serum, the galvanic current cannot function, so this step is essential for anyone using the wand.

LightBoost Face and Neck Serum

A fast-absorbing anti-aging serum powered by five biomimetic growth factors and two neuropeptides. It is designed to be applied before using the Wrinkle Retreat Face Mask or Neck and Chest Mask. This serum supports firmness, smoothness, and a more refreshed look with consistent use.

Plumping Peptide Serum

Part of the Solabiome Glowing Skin Starter Kit, this peptide-rich serum helps visibly renew and plump the skin. It layers well under other products and supports hydration at multiple skin depths with a triple hyaluronic acid blend.

How to Apply Your Serum for the Best Results

Getting the most from your serum takes about 30 seconds of extra care.

Start with clean, dry skin. Apply a thin, even layer of serum across the treatment area. Give it a moment to settle, then begin your light therapy session. For wand users, keep the serum layer slightly wet so the galvanic current stays active during treatment. For mask users, apply and let the serum absorb lightly before placing the mask.

Consistency matters more than quantity. A small amount used regularly tends to deliver stronger results than a heavy application done once in a while.

Can Serums Work on Every Skin Type

Yes. Every Solawave serum is dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and formulated without synthetic fragrances, parabens, or phthalates. Whether your skin runs oily, dry, sensitive, or somewhere in between, these formulas are built to support hydration and smoothness without irritation.

Light therapy itself does not target melanin the way lasers do, so pairing these serums with Solawave devices is safe and effective across all skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a serum to use my Solawave device? 

For the 4-in-1 Skincare Wand, yes. A water-based conductive serum is required for the galvanic current to work. For the face and neck masks, a serum is strongly recommended to help boost your results, but the devices will still function without one.

Can I use a different brand of serum with my Solawave device? 

Not every serum plays well with light therapy. Some formulas are too thick or contain ingredients that sit on top of the skin and block light from reaching the deeper layers where it needs to work. That reduces how effective your session can be. Solawave serums are specifically formulated with the patented LightBoost™ Complex to stay lightweight, absorb cleanly, and let light pass through so your skin gets the full benefit of every treatment.

How often should I apply serum before light therapy? 

Apply serum before every light therapy session for the best results. Most routines call for three to five sessions per week, so plan to use your serum at the same frequency.

Are Solawave serums safe for sensitive skin? 

Yes. All Solawave serums are fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist-tested. They are formulated without common irritants like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic dyes.

What is the LightBoost™ Complex? 

It is a patented ingredient blend found in every Solawave serum. It is designed to help prime the skin so it responds better to light therapy, making each session more effective over time.
