Best LED face masks 2022: Light therapy to treat acne, dryness and more

This is one of the cheaper models on the market, but the best of the bunch. It's easy to get to grips with and while it does need to be charged before you can use it, the battery life lasted us through more than four uses before running out of juice. It also helpfully has a charging indicator light so you’ll know when it's ready to go.

While the ear loops are comfortable, you will need to use the four additional weighted velcro straps to ensure it's securely fitted to your face, not just to allow the bulbs as much access to your skin as possible but to guarantee it won't slip off your face mid-treatment. It's operated via a remote control connected to the power cable – simply press the controls until you reach the desired bulb wavelength (red, blue, yellow or purple).

Each treatment lasts 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off, so you don't need to set a timer yourself – particularly good if you’re forgetful. And there's no sensation or discomfort when wearing it, we continued with our favourite Netflix show sitting up with no bother.

We used this for the first time following an in-clinic chemical peel and found it sped up healing, reduced sensitivity and improved dryness which can typically follow an exfoliating facial and found it left skin almost immediately calmer with less redness – especially when using the yellow option.
