I Tried 5 Luxury LED Face Masks for a Week Each — Here’s What Actually Worked

There’s something oddly sci-fi about slipping on an LED face mask. The moment you press power, your reflection turns futuristic, more spaceship than skincare.

But behind the glow lies serious science. Once reserved for dermatologists’ offices, LED light therapy has become one of the most coveted at-home treatments in beauty, promising to calm inflammation, stimulate collagen, and restore that elusive, glass-skin luminosity.

With so many brands claiming to deliver clinical results, I decided to find out which ones truly live up to the hype.

Over five weeks, I tested five luxury LED masks, wearing each one daily for a full week, to see how my skin responded.

From the cult favourites loved by A-listers to under-the-radar designs making waves in the beauty world, these are the masks that actually earned their place in my routine.

1. Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)💷 £385 | Shop at Dr Dennis Gross

The gold standard of at-home LED. This rigid mask delivers both red and blue light therapy in a neat three-minute session, so it’s easy to stick to daily use. After five days, my skin looked calmer, brighter and subtly lifted — by day seven, the fine lines around my eyes were noticeably softer.

Why I love it: It’s the only mask that gives me clinic-level results in under five minutes. The red/blue combo means it tackles breakouts and ageing at once.

Editor’s verdict: If you want to invest in one device that does it all, this is it.

2. CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)💷 £399 | Shop at CurrentBody

The A-list favourite, seen on everyone from Victoria Beckham to the Emily in Paris cast. The flexible silicone design moulds perfectly to the face, so you can multitask mid-treatment.

After a week, my skin felt plumper and more even-toned, though you need patience for the 10-minute sessions.

Why I love it: It’s comfortable, portable and easy to clean. Skin looks naturally radiant by the end of the week.

Editor’s verdict: A reliable all-rounder that delivers a fresh, rested complexion.

3. BioLuxe LED Face Mask

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)💷 £300 | Shop at BioLuxe UK

The most elegant of the bunch, featherlight, minimalist and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

I trialled the red-light setting to target dullness and fine lines, and by the end of the week my complexion had that ‘lit from within’ glow. It’s less intense than some, but ideal for soothing, spa-like results.

Why I love it: The design feels modern and luxurious without being clinical. My skin looked refined and hydrated by the end of the trial.

Editor’s verdict: A soft, sensual take on LED — perfect for those who want glow without the gadget fuss.

4. Dermalux Flex MD

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (4.5/5)💷 £1,995 | Shop at CurrentBody

The professional’s choice, used in clinics worldwide and now available for home use. It’s not a mask but a full LED canopy, so you can treat the face, chest and body.

The results are undeniably powerful: firmer skin, fewer breakouts, and a deep luminosity that only grows with time.

Why I love it: You genuinely feel like you’ve had a facial after each session. The glow is real, long-lasting, and transformative.

Editor’s verdict: For serious skincare devotees — clinical results, no appointment needed.

5. The Light Salon Boost LED Mask

⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (3.5/5)💷 £395 | Shop at The Light Salon

The chicest travel companion. It’s beautifully designed and ideal for topping up your glow on the go. The effects are subtle compared to the Dr Dennis Gross or Dermalux, but after a week, my skin looked smoother and more even-textured.

Why I love it: It’s light, flexible and slips easily into a carry-on.

Editor’s verdict: Great for maintenance or travel — elegant, effective, and discreet.
