Why you need this
For a proportion of people plagued by acne, over-the-counter (OTC) products don’t do anything to help. If you’re one of these people, you know that dealing with them can be a nightmare:
- You end up squeezing them by hand causing them to become swollen and painful
- Or become infected with bacteria and filled with pus
- You cover them with foundation that clogs pores and furthers breakouts
- Or try overnight 'hacks' that don't work
- And end up feeling discouraged
Luckily, the solution that professional clinics use for acne that doesn’t respond well to OTC products is now available for home use – it’s LED light therapy. With it, you can treat red, swollen spots fast and even prevent acne from occurring in the first place.
How it works
Research shows that when you shine different wavelengths of light onto your skin, it penetrates. When it does this, your cells absorb it and use it like fuel to boost what your body already does naturally, this includes: skin rejuvenation, repairing, wound healing, as well as relieving any pain and inflammation. These natural processes already help you to tackle acne as well as a range of other conditions, but it can be 10X’d with this mask. Find out more about what each light does below:
Blue light
Fights bacteria and breakouts
Red light
Reduces acne inflammation and scarring
Yellow light
Treats redness
Green light
Lightens dark marks
Cyan light
Soothes irritated and inflamed skin
Purple light
Anti-aging and anti-acne effect combined
White light (New)
Boosts mood and overall tired appearance

Full features and benefits
Customisation options
Adjust the light intensity
This device has over 10 brightness levels for every light you select. This kind of flexibility and customisation allows for a real personalised treatment like you would receive at a clinic.
Set the treatment time
It also comes with a timer function that will ensure you're using the mask for the correct length of time. This means you can have a seamless treatment, without removing the mask to check the time.
Power and protection
155 medical grade lights
The skin uses LED light as a source of energy to fuel the repair and rejuvenation of damaged cells or to kill bacteria, so the more the better. This mask comes with over 155, meaning it's powerful enough to give you effective results.
Eye protection area
The mask features an opaque protective pad to avoid overstimulation of the eyes.
A comfortable wear
The mask follows the contours of the face for a comfortable and snug fit. It’s also attached to a high viscosity strap that secures it and is made from a lightweight but durable plastic so you can avoid it weighing down on your face.
Why it's better than the alternatives
How to use
Use the mask for 20 minutes a day as soon as spots develop until you see them clear without any scarring or hyperpigmentation. Or use it for 20 minutes once a week to prevent spots and renew your skin.
You won’t see immediate clearing of your condition as the light needs time to repair your skin, but the evidence base is clear, LED light therapy does work to fix your skin.
You can even enhance the effects by using skincare products that tackle your skin concerns as LED light helps them penetrate, or use the device to speed up healing after a microneedling session with the Hydra Needle.
Your reviews
I will try to encourage my son to use it on his acne as I think this would really help his skin to clear up.
The mask is quite heavy but I have a little me time whilst using it and lie down so it is not a problem.
It is quite relaxing too.
I would recommend this product and am very happy with mine.
Frequently asked questions
If you’re wondering if ‘light therapy’ actually works, know that over 3 decades of research back up this technology. It was actually NASA that originally developed the power of LEDs to grow plants in zero gravity during the 80s. When the scientists tried red light on astronauts, they discovered that their wounds healed faster. It wasn’t long before hundreds of further studies exploring the lights regenerative effects on a wide variety of skin conditions, led to clinical machines that could emit these therapeutic lights.
When used consistently, over a course of treatments, LED lights offer corrective and long-lasting results.
Side effects are rare, but may include increased inflammation, redness, dry skin and rashes. Call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms post-treatment.
- Do not use this treatment if you are using anything on your skin that makes you sensitive to sunlight.
- If you are currently using Accutane for acne, be advised that this powerful drug derived from vitamin A increases your skin’s sensitivity to light and may cause scarring in some instances.
- People with the rare condition known as porphyria, which is a blood disorder that causes increased sensitivity to light, should avoid this therapy. Similarly, it should not be used by people with lupus.
- You also might consider avoiding this treatment if you currently have an active rash.
- Talk with your doctor if you have psoriasis. Red light therapy could help but only if you use it in conjunction with your regularly prescribed treatments.
Yes. Dermatologists have used visible light devices as an acne treatment for the past 20 years. It’s a research-backed treatment that’s safe for most people.
Blue light is particularly effective and FDA approved to deal with acne. This light is able to kill acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin and shrink overactive oil glands. Red light also tackles inflammation – meaning it can work on acne that shows signs of inflamed red bumps and pustules. In addition, red light helps promote healing and may therefore decrease the visibility of acne scarring. Because LED light both calms inflamed acne and kills the bacteria that causes it, you can use this device not only to clear your skin, but also as a preventative measure for future breakouts.
NOTE: LED light therapy works on acne that has its roots in inflammation, and clogged pores, and does not work on hormonal acne.
Yes, the red light is proven to increase the production of collagen (the protein responsible for your skin’s strength, firmness and structure) thereby reducing wrinkles and sagging skin. Yellow light has also been documented to tackle all signs of photoaged skin.
You can boost the results of light therapy by applying skincare products to your face before treatment. Remember, this device helps ingredients penetrate the skin so be sure to use high quality products.
It’s also perfect for use after a microneedling session to aid in healing and recovery.
High quality serums with natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and peptides are recommended for use with the mask. Oily creams are not recommended for light therapy because oils can reflect the light like a mirror.
LED light technology is safe for skin, this means you can use it everyday and for a longer treatment time. However, professional guidelines on the treatment recommend 20-minute sessions (no longer than half an hour), twice a week, for optimal results.
Light therapy is suitable for all skin types.
No, LED light therapy is completely non-invasive and does not hurt. All you’ll feel is a slight bit of warmth.
No, LED light therapy does not use UV light so there’s no risk of tanning.
No, the mask has built-in silicon protection around the eyes.
However, you should turn off the power before taking off the mask, and avoid staring directly into the LED lights for extended periods of time.
Further to this, you can choose to close your eyes during treatment. Those with particularly sensitive eyes can also use additional eye protection – placing cotton pads over the eyes will be adequate.
If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using your LED mask.
Please use a damp cloth to clean your LED mask.
- Do not use water directly on the mask
- Do not use any chemical liquid to clean the mask
- Do not expose it to direct sunlight
- After you have completed treatment, place the mask back in the box and avoid leaving it on your bed.
