My skin has received more compliments than ever since trying out this lesser-known LED mask.

      As a beauty editor, I've experimented with numerous skincare tools. From microcurrent gadgets to at-home hair removal devices, I've tested hundreds of beauty tools throughout my decade-long career in the industry. Currently, the skincare device I get asked about the most is LED masks. In the past, LED light therapy could only be accessed at clinics, but now, a new range of at-home LED masks allows you to reap all the skin-rejuvenating benefits while relaxing at home, perhaps watching Netflix or scrolling through TikTok. Having tried dozens of LED masks for my work, I had many comparisons when the Keskine LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Pro arrived on my desk. After using it for the past 12 weeks, I can help you decide whether it’s worth the investment for your skincare routine.

      Keskine LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Pro

      Readers of Who What Wear UK can use code LED30 for a 30% discount.

      Pros:

      - Features four LED wavelengths: red, blue, yellow, and orange

      - Clinically proven to improve wrinkles and breakouts

      - Contains more LED bulbs than most competitors, offering superior coverage

      Cons:

      - Positioned in the premium price range for LED masks

      - The mask is larger and rigid, requiring some storage space

      The Tech

      What stands out about this LED mask is the variety of light wavelengths it offers, including red, blue, orange, and yellow. The four treatment modes target various skincare issues:

      - Red: Red (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to enhance collagen and fill wrinkles

      - Purple: Blue (465nm) + (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to promote skin repair and healing

      - Yellow: Yellow (590nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to soothe the skin and alleviate redness

      - Orange: Yellow (590nm) + Red (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to enhance skin luminosity and radiance

      It boasts 352 LEDs, significantly more than many other LED masks on the market, which means better light distribution for improved results. Keskine has even conducted clinical studies that demonstrated a 28.9% enhancement in the appearance of wrinkles and a 54.55% decrease in visible blemishes within two weeks.

      My Experience

      I tested the mask over 12 weeks, using it 4-5 days per week on average. Unlike the flexible masks I’ve used before, this LED mask features a rigid, molded design without openings for the eyes or mouth. Initially, I worried it might feel a bit claustrophobic, but the eye area is cushioned, allowing for comfortable visibility within the mask, which also has adjustable straps for a snug fit. Being larger than most masks, it provides LED coverage right up to the hairline, which is advantageous if, like me, you want to target areas like your temples for hair growth.

      Although this LED mask is pricier than some others, it offers the option of four distinct treatment modes. While many LED masks typically feature red and infrared, this one adds blue and yellow light as well. Whether you're looking for skin brightening, tightening, acne reduction, or smoothing, there's a specific treatment for most skincare needs. Each session lasts 10 minutes, making it easy to fit into your evening routine. One caveat is that visibility through the mask isn't optimal, making reading challenging. However, the mask is quite comfortable and secure, allowing movement without it sliding off, unlike some other LED masks.

      During the last few months, I focused on plumping my skin and addressing breakouts, primarily using the red and blue light modes.

      The Verdict

      Following a few weeks off from testing my previous LED mask, my skin had become dull and uneven, and I was experiencing active breakouts. Additionally, I had a flare-up of perioral dermatitis and eczema, making the mask's effectiveness crucial. I alternated between the various settings and began noticing results after about two weeks. The first improvement I detected was increased radiance. I would wake up with a noticeable glow on the mornings I used the mask. The frequency of my breakouts decreased, and those that did appear had a significantly shorter duration, with scarring fading more quickly (thanks to the blue light!). During my perioral dermatitis flare-up, I utilized the yellow light setting, which effectively reduced inflammation and redness, resolving the issue in less than a week.

      Twelve weeks later, I received more compliments on my skin than ever, proving that this LED mask is effective. Consistency is key with any LED mask; using it once or twice a week is insufficient. With my routine of 4-5 days a week, I observed noticeable plumping of fine lines around my eyes and forehead. Considering my last Botox treatment has worn off, this was a significant benefit to maintain my results until my next appointment.
