Updated June 2026: I refined our picks and added the Laduora Lumeo SkinLift 4D Current Red Light Therapy Kit to Honorable Mentions. Product information, specs, prices, and links were updated.

The Shark CryoGlow is one of the best LED face masks on the market and is a great choice for newcomers, since it holds your hand through the process. There are two main programs to follow—Blemish Repair, which uses a combination of blue light (415 nm), infrared, and red LED (630-830 nm) for eight minutes, and Better Aging, which uses just infrared and red LED for six minutes. It’s recommended to follow one program daily for eight weeks, switching to the four-minute Skin Sustain program afterward to maintain the best results. It comes with a handy controller that counts down your time remaining and also tracks your progress, plus the mask has a party trick of cooling under-eye pads that can be used in combination with the LEDs or on their own, to soothe puffiness.
During my eight-week trial, I noticed my perioral dermatitis cleared up much faster than usual, and my skin looked plumper and more radiant. An aesthetician even scanned the layers of my skin beneath the epidermis before and after the program, revealing significantly less inflammation and pigmentation, as well as improved fine lines. —Verity Burns

CurrentBody
LED Face Mask Series 2
WIRED
- Offers three red light wavelengths
- Flexible silicone design contours to the face for even coverage
- Hands-free setup with a multiway strap and clip-on controller
TIRED
- Lacks blue light for acne-focused treatments

- Pricier than its multi-light competitors
While the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2 only offers red light, it features three wavelengths: red (633 nanometers), near-infrared (830 nanometers), and the standout deep near-infrared (1072 nanometers). CurrentBody says the deepest wavelength is designed to reach areas more prone to visible aging. On paper, it’s a more comprehensive spectrum than what most competitors offer, which is typically a combination of only red and near-infrared.
