Video reviews
Best for
  • • Anyone wanting a simple, established red-light routine for fine lines
  • • Users who prefer a flexible silicone mask over a rigid shell
  • • Buyers who don't need custom wavelength modes
  • • Treating breakouts and fine lines with one device
  • • Puffy under-eyes
  • • Buyers who want an FDA-cleared mask under $400
Strengths
  • Three wavelengths (633, 830 and 1072 nm) from 236 LEDs at a stated 30 mW/cm²
  • Hands-free 10-minute sessions with an automatic shut-off and clip-on controller
  • Chin strap and flexible silicone give fuller coverage than the Series 1, per reviewers
  • FDA 510(k)-cleared (K242796) for fine lines, wrinkles and mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne
  • Built-in InstaChill under-eye cooling that TechRadar and Tom's Guide single out
  • Short 4 to 8 minute routines selected and timed on the remote
Watch-outs
  • Light Therapy Insiders felt pressure on the nose and found thin coverage at the upper forehead and mid-chin
  • Only one preset program and no app control, unlike the newer Series 3
  • Rigid, bulky mask that TechRadar found poor for travel
  • TechRadar called the results moderate for the price and the battery life short
