Best LED face mask: Can light therapy really reduce fine lines, dark spots and improve your skin tone as you age? We've tested six to find out

We've picked the CurrentBody Series 2 mask as our favourite overall product because it is easy to set up and secure, results are fast and coverage is huge.

A standout feature are the effective eye guards, which allow you to still use screens while wearing the mask. It also switches off after 10 minutes, which is handy.

In our tests, we found once the mask is attached there is no chance of it slipping off, so it means even on a busy day you can undergo your treatment while doing the dishes, sorting out laundry or even rushing around.

After prolonged use of this mask, our skin definitely looked brighter and felt really soft. It's great if you don't have any specific skin concerns but are looking for an overall boost in your complexion.

At £200 for non Beauty Pie members and £120 for members, this price-point on this mask is fantastic for such a product.

The material is all silicone, making it easy to wrap around the face. However, the straps are quite fiddly and at times, the mask can feel flimsy.

The eye slots are great, reducing glare and making it easy to use anywhere. However, we would recommend avoiding screens while wearing this mask, as it does distort the colours of a screen.

We also like the practical mouth and nose holes. They can be moved around to fit your face, a standout feature of this mask.

As it's not quite a powerful as some others on the list, we think is better for general use and those looking for more hydrated-looking skin.

It's not in the user manual but another tip with this mask is that it can be used on your chest to help elasticity loss, as it flattens out completely.

We noticed this mask helped reduce our skin pigmentation, giving an overall fresher look.

The best aspect of this mask is the fact there are so many settings, meaning you can really tailor it to your needs.

Each mode can be selected individually for a quick 10-minute session but for those looking to really take the time to relax while wearing the mask, automatic mode uses all the LED lights for a 15 minute focus session.

The eye shields blocked out light nicely, but the lack of holes for the mouth and nose can make you feel claustrophobic at times.

We found its amazing if you have acne prone skin as after a couple uses redness was reduced and breakouts seemed to be minimal.

A standout feature was its sleek packaging, it comes in a small zip-up bag, making it perfect for travelling.

The ReGlow LED Face Mask from Ulike is completely solid rather than being made of silicone. This made the process feel less fiddly and the mask extremely secure.

This mask is best for treating multiple concerns because of its four different modes - glow, firm, rejuvenate & clear.

The mask focuses on brightening, calming redness, targeting acne and strengthening the skin's natural barrier, making it worth the price tag.

It helps with acne in just two weeks and can then be used as a long-term tool for a radiant complexion.

We found with this mask, its best to lie down and let it do its thing for the allotted amount of time. It leaves no bit of skin uncovered.

The built in goggles and fit of this mask is extremely comfortable, rather than being a silicon material it is hard and sturdy.

It's also completely cordless, which makes this mask really stand out. However, we did find it quite heavy and would recommend lying down while using it instead.

After just one use the mask makes your complexion instantly brighter, which really made it stand out.

It can also be used to reduce scars from skin-picking, which makes it feel really targeted.

What's fun about this mask is that you can use the Lustre app to customise light combinations across the forehead, eyes, nose and cheeks, which means you can change it based on how your skin looks and feels that day.

It is easy to use and wireless but because it is quite heavy we would recommend lying down while using it.

In addition to the white mask, I received eye shields, an adjustable strap, a manual controller, USB charging cable, linen storage bag, and the instruction manual.

The device's controller needs to be charged for 180 minutes before its first use, and then you're ready to go.

When I told Sinead my goal at the end of the six-week testing period was ditching concealer, and doing away with full-coverage makeup entirely, she told me 'consistency is key'.

'We recommend using it three to five times per week for 10 minutes, you could use it every day or night if you desire but no less than three times to see results,' she said.

I took my 'before' selfie and realised how tired my skin looked - especially around the eyes. While I've never suffered from acne in my 20s and 30s, barring the occasional PMS flare-up, I was struck by how dull my complexion looked in the picture.

So, I wrapped the mask around my face every weekend, and squeezed in a 10-minute session once or twice after work, for a total of four treatments per week.

My favourite thing about the mask is the timer, which meant I could close my eyes and relax without worrying about overexposure or fretting about how much of the treatment was left.

The corded remote is easy to use as it just has one button - which turns it off and on.

I've seen women reading magazines or doing chores with the face mask in TikToks that might give those less clued into the world of skincare a fright - but I found the red light slightly disorienting despite the eye protectors.

Before I knew it, six weeks were up - and I was impressed by the results. The dark spots around my mouth and on my cheeks basically vanished, some of the fine lines had definitely disappeared and, my skin was visibly bouncier.
