LED Mask

Pros
- Red light mask is great too.
- For context, I currently use azelaic acid and a red light mask daily (been consistent with it for over a year).

- I have no doubt that people who use their LED mask as directed (or more often) believe they have had improvements.

Cons
- Skip the mist and get your red light mask out of the drawer.
- I do believe I experienced adverse effects due to using the mask in excess (5 x a week with 10-minute sessions).
- After using it, I began to notice that my skin was ageing significantly in terms of wrinkles under the eyes, volume loss, and fine lines around the mouth area.
- I use a red light mask every other day and sunscreen daily.
- The only real downside is that it’s not the easiest to travel with since it doesn’t lie flat.

When I break out (usually thanks to fried food or too much dessert), I use clear mode with blue + red + infrared. It calms irritation and helps fight acne bacteria. If I follow up with a basic acne serum, small pimples usually flatten out by the next day, while bigger ones shrink within a couple of days.
The only real downside is that it’s not the easiest to travel with since it doesn’t lie flat.
