6 Best Red-Light Therapy Masks for Glowy Skin, Vetted by Dermatologists

Investing in one of the best LED face masks isn’t just about jumping on a beauty trend—it’s about bringing medical-grade skin technology into your daily routine. These devices use targeted wavelengths of
LED light
to boost collagen, improve tone and texture, and support overall skin health—all in the comfort of your own home. With so much hitting the market at once (and with many well over $300), doing your homework matters. That's why we’ve spent more than two years testing the best-selling
red-light therapy devices
, plus the latest launches as soon as they drop. Despite exciting newcomers, our top pick still hasn’t changed:
CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2
remains a standout for its high LED count and impressive full-face coverage that delivers faster, more consistent results. Of course, it’s not one-mask-fits-all. The right choice depends on your skin concerns, your routine, and your budget. Ahead, we break down our top seven picks, including
the few we didn’t love enough
to recommend.

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.

, who has tested multiple red-light therapy face masks in her career says she was impressed with the long-term results. “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.

says:
“The design of the CurrentBody Series 2 mask stands out among the rest. It's made from cutting-edge poured liquid silicone, which is
so
much more comfortable than its predecessor. When I reviewed Series 1, I noted that I had to use a claw clip to keep the mask in place—and that it hurt a little bit after 10 minutes of use. Now the multiway straps can be adjusted to all head shapes and ensure the mask stays put comfortably.”

says:
“This red-light therapy mask is one that has given me results faster than any other red light product I’ve tried. It fits snugly, doesn’t slip or slide, and doesn’t feel heavy even if you’re doing everyday tasks like washing the dishes or cleaning your apartment. I like that after I pull it off, my skin seem to almost immediately depuff; you can see a clear difference in my before and after. I like to use this every other week, and especially before a big event.”
