I'm in my late 30s and haven't tried injections yet, so I'm just starting to see how fine lines and signs of aging feel so noticeable. I'm willing to try almost anything to reverse this (or at least make it better), so when I finally found a red light therapy mask from Nanoleaf, I was more than happy to give it a try. After a few weeks of regular use, I've concluded that the hype is well worth it.
With their glowing LED lights and robot-like appearance, light therapy face masks make an impression, in more ways than one. Small but powerful lamps are designed to help strengthen skin cells, treat wrinkles, scars, acne and more, make the skin radiant and rejuvenated. I found the Nanoleaf Light Therapy Face Mask, an FDA-cleared LED therapy mask (currently 40% off on Amazon Prime Day), and after just a few weeks of using it, I've already noticed a difference in the way my skin looks and feels.

This mask offers seven targeted treatment options: red light for wrinkles, yellow for inflammation, green for dark spots, cyan for irritation, blue for acne, purple for uneven color and white for deep correction. Since the signs of aging are my biggest problem at the moment, I've spent the last few weeks trying the red lamp treatment (but I'm eager to try the white and yellow ones too).
Using the mask is easy: after fully charging it, you simply connect the cables, select the desired mode, set the timer, put it away and go back to sleep while it works its magic. The Nanoleaf mask combines each light mode with Near Infrared (NIR) light, which is a type of light that can penetrate deep into the skin and is not something you will find in every light therapy mask. NIR enhances the effects of light therapy and can help stimulate cellular energy production and improve blood circulation.
How I Tested It
I started by using my light therapy mask for 10 minutes three times a week on clean skin, and eventually moved up to five times a week. The mask feels slightly warm on the skin (in a nice way) and always makes me feel like I'm sitting in a cool place. Although there are guards to protect your eyes, my eyes are very sensitive, so I always cover mine during use. This makes me feel like I'm getting an expensive facial, and provides 10 minutes of much needed relaxation while rejuvenating my skin.
One of the first things I noticed about my mask was how comfortable it was. It's made of flexible silicone that's soft against leather, with a wide strap that closes at the back for a snug fit. My face is on the thinner side, but I didn't find this to have a weird fit.
After three weeks of regular use, I could swear I could see a difference in the way the fine lines on my forehead looked. My skin feels smoother and has a slight glow. I also felt it helped with breakouts, even if I was using a red light. During the period of the month when I used to have one or two bumps, I didn't get them. I also noticed that the recent acne scar I had on my forehead healed faster than usual.
Other benefits about this Nanoleaf mask? The remote control it comes with is very intuitive – you can skip different modes and adjust the intensity to your liking. It's also easy to set your favorite timer. Also, the battery is good. I fully charged mine the first time I used it four weeks ago, and even though I've been using it regularly, it hasn't needed another charge.
Final Decision
As a beauty writer who is always testing and trying new products, it takes a lot to impress me, but this Nanoleaf face mask has become one of my favorite skincare products. It makes me feel like I'm getting an expensive facial, it's comfortable to wear, and, most importantly, the results are real.
