7 Best Red-Light Therapy Masks & LED Masks That Actually Work 2025

Best Red-Light Therapy Mask Overall: CurrentBody Skin LED Light-Therapy Mask Series 2

We’ve extensively reviewed CurrentBody LED Face Mask, which was a winner in Glamour’s 2023 Beauty & Wellness Awards, is Kim Kardashian’s favorite, and earned a strong recommendation by Y. Claire Chang, MD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. The brand’s Series 2 is an upgraded mask with 236 LED bulbs (compared with the original 132) in red, near-infrared, and new-to-the-mix deep near-infrared wavelengths. “Infrared light, at 830 nanometers, causes collagen stimulation, plus reduction in signs of photoaging, which include wrinkles laxity and hyperpigmentation,” says Dan Belkin, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. The mask has a whole new shape that offers a better, snugger fit on the face with a chin strap, unlike so many competitors’ designs.

“I was impressed by the long-term results,” says Glamour senior beauty editor Ariana Yaptangco, who has tested multiple red-light therapy devices. “After just a month of using this mask, I noticed my skin looked smoother and more radiant.” She also found it to be the most comfortable she’s tried. “It was simple to adjust to get the right fit, and the mask stayed put while I was walking around,” she says.

Best for Variety of Skin Concerns: Qure Q-Rejuvalight Pro Red Light Therapy Mask

This viral face mask first caught our attention last year for its quick three-minute treatment time, plus the fact that you can conveniently control it with your smartphone to completely customize your treatment and target specific skin concerns. We were drawn to its structured yet lightweight design, which sits right up against the face. It’s tough to beat this LED face mask for its conveniently short usage time and wide range of light modes that can address a multitude of skin concerns—antiaging, fine lines, acne, dark spots, and more.

“I’ve been using this face mask for a year now now,” says Glamour contributor and product tester Brigitt Earley. “I love that it’s entirely wireless (no controller hanging down) and light enough to multitask—a must for me as a busy professional and mom of four small children. I do also appreciate the built-in eye protection, since it makes it easier to see while you’re wearing the mask. Since incorporating this mask into my routine, my skin looks glowier than ever—especially for someone approaching 40 years old.”

Best for Acne: Dr. Dennis Gross SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

This at-home device puts a big emphasis on blue light and targeting acne while working to address antiaging concerns at the same time. “It works better for inflammatory blemishes, but it can help heal and restore all acne-prone skin,” says Jessica Weiser, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Weiser Skin MD, who uses this therapy in her NYC office.

“I’ve owned this face mask for almost a year and truly think it’s a savior for my skin,” says Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs. “I put it on before bed at least three times per week and usually put on a TV show in background while it cycles through the blue and red modes (my two most frequently used wavelengths). I like that the lights aren’t so bright that they hurt my eyes and that the treatment times are so fast that I sometimes do them a couple times. The blue mode is my favorite, especially as I deal with frequent breakouts. It seems to calm my inflammation and to adequately kill the bacteria so that my zits don’t return. I’ve also noticed a tightening of my skin, especially in my undereye area. My only complaint is that the mask is quite heavy, and its strap is very short, so it tends to unravel and pop off my face if I’m not careful.”

We also like that the mask is entirely wireless so there’s nothing hanging down from your face. You simply press the button on the top of the mask to toggle among the three different light settings: red, blue, or a combination. Glamour contributor Sarah Wu reviewed the Dr. Dennis Gross Led Face Mask and reported, “It’s a derm visit, spa day, and photo op in one.” Another tester noted significant improvements in her skin while using the mask three times per week. “There was a clear reduction in my acne, and after two months I noticed I was able to scrunch the fine lines on my forehead less—similar to the effect of Botox,” she said.

Best for Mature Skin: Omnilux Contour Face

“This mask has been shown to reduce visible signs of aging and redness,” says Dr. Chang. The silicone mask is flexible enough to comfortably mold to many different face shapes. Our testers found the red-light therapy face mask easy to operate via its remote that hangs from one side. Simply toggle it on and let it do its 10 minutes of treatment. Though it only operates on two wavelengths, if you want a competitively priced LED device that’s comfortable enough to wear while relaxing or multitasking, this is it. “After three months of consistent use, I noticed my dry skin looked more alive, and I had fewer fine lines in between Botox appointments,” says Earley, who tried it.

The Omnilux is a necessity for Glamour editor-in-chief Samantha Barry’s wind-down routine. “My facialist, Kristyn Smith, introduced me to the Omnilux two years ago right before the Met Gala, and I haven’t looked back since,” she says. “I use it every day religiously, even putting it on my scalp and chest on the weekends, when I have more time to spare. It’s so easy to use and charge; I just cleanse my face and enjoy my 10 minutes of red-light therapy at home—or a little self-care time, as I see it.”
