I've been circling LED face masks for about a year and not buying one, because the good ones cost more than I'd spend without a reason. The Shark FW312UKPL CryoGlow Under-Eye Cooling & LED Anti-Ageing & Blemish Repair Mask is £299.98 at Costco, and £100 comes off at the checkout, which takes it to £199.98. That's my own Christmas present sorted!
The discount lands at the checkout rather than coming off the price you see on the page, so don't be put off by the £299.98 when you open the listing. It's one per basket at that price and Costco cap it at two anyway, so it isn't the sort of thing to buy a job lot of.
What you get for the money is a wearable mask with four treatments. The Better Ageing one runs for six minutes and is the one they've tested for fine lines and firmness over eight weeks, and the Blemish Repair runs eight minutes and was tested over four weeks. There's a Skin Sustain mode at four minutes for keeping the results going, and then the bit I'd actually use first, the under-eye cooling, which is three chill levels of a cold plate under each eye and is meant to take the puff down in minutes rather than weeks.
The lights are red, blue and deep infrared, and it's one universal size with an adjustable strap rather than a choice of fittings, so there's no guessing which one to order. It weighs 0.74kg, so it's not heavy on your face, and it charges over USB-C.
It's a proper bit of kit rather than a gadget, so it's worth reading the safety list before you buy. It's not for anyone pregnant or nursing, anyone with a pacemaker or an implanted device, facial implants, or an eye condition that makes you sensitive to light, and it shouldn't be used with medication that causes photosensitivity, including some acne treatments. Nothing unusual for a light device, but worth knowing before it goes on a Christmas list.
It arrives in about two business days and the courier uses a secure PINCODE, so someone needs to be in to take it. Home delivery is included.
