I Recently Tested a £100 LED Mask from Boots—Here’s Why I’m a Fan.

      It's no surprise that many high-quality LED masks come with a hefty price tag. While they are worth the investment, I completely understand the reluctance to spend over £300 on such a skincare tool if you haven't tried one before. So, when I found out that Boots had released its own LED mask for £100, I was instantly intrigued. Although £100 is still a considerable amount for a facial device, this mask is among the more budget-friendly options available. Moreover, compared to the price of a salon LED facial, this at-home mask is a more economical choice. The real question is whether it's as effective as its pricier counterparts. Here at Who What Wear UK, we like to test trending tools (having tried everything from the ZIIP device to the NuFace), and this Boots LED mask has been generating quite a buzz. Thus, I promptly requested a sample. After testing it for a few weeks, I've shared my candid impressions below.

      **Boots LED Face Mask Review**

      **Pros**

      - More affordable than other LED masks on the market

      - User-friendly

      - Offers four different LED treatment modes

      **Cons**

      - Not the most comfortable design

      - Treatment duration is 15 minutes (slightly longer than other models)

      **What Does the Boots LED Face Mask Do?**

      Most LED masks typically use red light to boost the production of collagen and elastin while minimizing skin inflammation. What's impressive about this Boots mask (especially given its price) is that it features four distinct LED treatment modes to address various skincare issues. It includes a red mode for promoting smoother skin, plus a yellow mode for brightening, a green mode for balancing, and a purple mode for reducing the look of pores.

      **Boots LED Face Mask Features**

      - **Treatment settings:** The mask offers four settings: red, yellow, green, and purple.

      - **Design:** Unlike many LED masks made from flexible silicone, this one has a sturdier design. It includes a convenient head strap, and you simply press a button at the top of the mask to switch it on, allowing for greater movement while wearing it rather than needing a remote. The box contains the mask, a USB charging cable, the strap, and an instruction manual.

      - **Usage guidelines:** The brand recommends using the mask for 15 minutes daily, four times a week, making it easy to fit into a skincare routine. Use it after cleansing and drying the skin, before applying serum or moisturizer. Hold the ON/OFF button for three seconds to power it on, and press the same button to cycle through the LED treatments.

      **My Verdict**

      So, what are my thoughts on this mask? Honestly, I am quite impressed. However, before diving into my praise, I want to briefly address a couple of downsides. First, due to its rigid design, it's not as comfortable as other masks I’ve tried. Nevertheless, the hands-free aspect is a significant advantage. The only other minor issue is that the treatment duration is 15 minutes, which is a bit longer than other masks I've used, but in the grand scheme of things, it's worth it for glowing skin.

      Now, onto the positives. Firstly, £100 for this type of skincare device is remarkable, especially with four treatment modes. I’ve used many expensive devices that only offer one or two modes, so I was astounded to discover the variety of light modes this mask provides. It's fantastic for anyone seeking a mask to address a broader range of skincare concerns.

      Another highlight? The ease of use! I will mention that the button isn't always the most responsive (occasionally needing multiple presses to activate), but the simplicity of just pressing it to turn it on and switch modes makes it ideal for someone new to LED masks.

      After using it for a few weeks, I've observed subtle improvements in my skin. My complexion appears brighter and more even, and some scarring from a previous breakout is becoming less noticeable each week. While I need to continue using it to see more significant changes, it has already earned high marks from me.

      I have no doubt this will sell out quickly.
