If you’ve been hoping to jump on the LED train, there’s no better time than now. These masks and tools have been gaining popularity for their promise of erasing fine lines and brightening skin, and some even treat acne. Over the past few months that I have been using red light devices, the compliments towards my skin have certainly increased and my acne spots have healed faster than ever. There are a few masks and gadgets that we found we love using after trying several and luckily they are on sale.
A quick primer on how LED therapy works, if you’re unfamiliar: Near-infrared light stimulates the proteins collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles. Some devices also have a blue light therapy option, which penetrates the top layer of the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria and can reduce inflammation to clear the skin. Check out our guide to the best LED face masks for more details.

The WIRED staff has been very happy with this handy little LED wand for tightening the skin around the eyes. It’s a handheld device with a three-minute treatment performed on a specific area, so it’s perfect if you want to treat a certain area rather than the entire face. The wand itself is not for sale, but the wand kit which includes a serum to use with the wand is.
I am currently testing this neck device and am very excited about it as neck lines are the largest area of my skin I would like to treat. It’s still too early to report test results (I’m in the second week of testing), but it’s been easy and convenient to test, and I love that I can wear it while I’m styling my hair or as a snack since it doesn’t cover up. all my face Like the wand above, the Solawave deal is for the kit that includes a serum that works with the neck and chest mask.

Omnilux is similar to our top LED mask pick, with a soft shape that basically wraps around your face. It’s comfortable and quite affordable, and the only reason it’s not one of the best options is that it doesn’t have a blue light mode. However, if you’re not worried about acne, now is a good time to purchase this more affordable mask, especially since it’s so affordable right now.
This mask does it all: it’s comfortable, has the shortest treatment time at just three minutes, and not only does it have a red light mode and a blue light mode, it has a combo mode that allows you to get both lights at the same time. time. It’s also the biggest discount on an LED mask you can find right now, so don’t miss out on this great mask on sale.
My overall favorite LED mask is soft and flexible, easy to wrap around my large head, and has a red light mode and a blue light mode so you can treat lines and acne however you want. However, you won’t be able to do it at the same time as with SpectraLite. LED Esthetics is usually the cheaper option to get both features, but these two masks are pretty similar in price right now, so you might want to opt for the mask that can work two in one while you can. But if you prefer a gentle mask, this is a great option with both options.
This mask is the most expensive we have tried. It promises much faster results, in just two weeks, but I’ve only just started trying it, so there’s no consensus yet. It has a good discount, which is interesting since it is usually very high priced. It’s expensive thanks to the four different red light waves it uses (most only use two) to improve skin. It covers your mouth and nose more than other masks, but it’s still very easy to breathe with it on.
