Reviews you can actually trust

Most “best LED mask” lists are affiliate roundups that repeat manufacturer statistics. We’re built the opposite way.

How we test & rank
No paid placements, everNo brand pays for coverage or a higher score. Rankings are decided by our rubric before any commercial consideration exists.
Grounded in real evidenceWe cite the actual dermatology literature — and flag which studies are manufacturer-funded rather than independent.
A transparent methodOne fixed, published rubric across every mask: evidence, wavelengths and dose, certification, fit, safety and value.

Understand it first

The science, in plain English

Wavelengths that matter

Not all “LED” is equal

633 nm red and 830 nm near-infrared have the strongest evidence for collagen and skin texture; 415 nm blue targets acne. Deeper near-infrared and “7-colour” modes rest on far thinner evidence — which is exactly the kind of thing marketing blurs and we don’t.
