Video reviews
Best for
  • • Acne and anti-aging LED in very short sessions
  • • People who want a cordless, hands-free mask
  • • Daily users who won't sit through 10-minute treatments
  • • Treating breakouts and fine lines with one device
  • • Puffy under-eyes
  • • Buyers who want an FDA-cleared mask under $400
Strengths
  • 3-minute sessions with automatic shut-off
  • Red, blue or combined red + blue modes for breakouts and signs of aging
  • Cordless, hands-free design that T3 found fits closely and comfortably
  • 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
  • $455, well above the Shark CryoGlow and Omnilux Contour Face
  • No goggles or eye cups, which gave T3's reviewer pause at first
  • Rigid, bulky mask that TechRadar found poor for travel
  • TechRadar called the results moderate for the price and the battery life short
