Scottsdale, Ariz. – As red light therapy becomes a staple in modern skincare routines, Mito Red Light is pioneering an entirely new category at the intersection of light and topical care: Light-Activated Skincare. This emerging approach pairs targeted red and near-infrared (NIR) light with formulations designed to respond to and amplify light exposure – bringing professional-grade concepts into everyday routines.
Unlike traditional skincare products that function independently of external stimuli, this is formulated to interact directly with light, supporting skin function during and after red light therapy sessions.
“Red light therapy doesn’t stop at the device,” said Scott Chaverri, Founder and CEO of Mito Red Light. “We’re building an ecosystem where light and skincare work together. Light-Activated Skincare is about designing formulations that respond to light, not just sit on the skin.”
The Foundation of a Light Activated Skincare Regimen
Experts agree that visible skin improvements come from consistent stimulation paired with proper surface support. A biophotonic skincare routine focuses on two core principles:
1. Consistent Red & Near-Infrared Light Exposure
Red and NIR wavelengths are widely studied for their ability to support cellular energy production, circulation, and overall skin vitality. Used several times per week, red light therapy can help improve the appearance of tone, texture, and firmness over time.
2. Light-Responsive Topical Support
To maximize these benefits, skincare applied before or after sessions should support hydration, antioxidant balance, and mitochondrial activity – helping skin utilize the increased cellular energy stimulated by light.
MitoAURA™: Designed for the Light-Activated Skincare Category
At the center of Mito Red Light’s biophotonic skincare approach is MitoAURA™ Activate + Amplify Serum, a light-responsive formulation developed specifically to pair with red and near-infrared therapy.
After two years of research and formulation, MitoAURA™ was engineered to complement light exposure through a blend of photoreactive antioxidants, mitochondrial support compounds, and heat-responsive bioferments – without adding heaviness or irritation to the skin.
“MitoAURA wasn’t created as a standalone cosmetic,” Chaverri added. “It was designed to work in the presence of light, supporting the biological processes light therapy activates.”
Key formulation features include:
-
Photoreactive spirulina extract to broaden skin–light interaction
-
Thermus thermophilus ferment, gently activated by warmth associated with light exposure
-
Methylene blue and antioxidant compounds that support mitochondrial efficiency and oxidative balance
Simple Biophotonic Skincare Routine
Morning or Evening Protocol
-
Cleanse skin thoroughly

Upcoming Split-Face Study to Validate BioPhotonic Skincare™
To further demonstrate the potential of light-activated skincare, Mito Red Light is launching a controlled split-face study examining the effects of red light therapy alone versus red light therapy combined with MitoAURA™ serum.
The study is designed to evaluate differences in:
-
Skin tone and texture
-
Perceived firmness and smoothness
-
Overall skin vitality and radiance
Results will be shared publicly upon completion, reinforcing Mito Red Light’s commitment to transparency, education, and evidence-based innovation within the emerging biophotonic skincare category.
