This mask is great! The strap for the mask is not however, I just hold it on(fyi). The mask works really well and seems the be effective thus far. Too early to tell in terms of wrinkle reduction. But the reduction of inflammation(redness) and acne has been observed! [links]
Stopped working after 2 months, now I need to send it back to the manufacturer and get a new one. I was asked to pay to ship it back, which I think is absurd for a product of this price!

Persist, though, and you'll be rewarded. Having tried multiple in-office LED sessions to counteract occasional breakouts or inflammation (administered by dermatologists and aestheticians), I've noticed that my skin looks calmer and clearer for a surprising amount of time with consistent treatment—weeks instead of days compared with topical facials. And there's no downtime or posttreatment redness to contend with, which is always a bonus. Still, I've often wondered if at-home versions of these treatments could accurately duplicate these results. I've briefly flirted with a couple of handheld LED pens before, but you can tell just by looking at them that they're not very practical for covering a large surface area when you get multiple surprise pimples. I'd rather spend 10 seconds dabbing on a zit cream. [links]
As far as big skin-care splurges go, LED treatments feel somewhat anticlimactic. They're designed to penetrate deep into your skin to treat inflamed zits, calm redness from healing breakouts, and lessen the appearance of fine lines. But they lack the sensorial delivery of an especially luxurious cream or the gentle tingle of a peel pad. The first time I tried one, I questioned whether it was even doing anything other than silently bathing my face in different colors. It's not that I particularly want light-based devices to suddenly heat up or sting me (if you experience either of those things, something is going very wrong), but the experience of feeling nothing at all takes some getting used to.
None of this put a dent in my curiosity when Dr. Dennis Gross launched the DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro, a futuristic, hands-free acne mask that's also said to treat fine lines and wrinkles. It's not the first example in this category, but it's the one that seemed most convincing to me. (This is the brand that changed my skin with its resurfacing Alpha Beta peels, one of the best products I've ever used.) I was all but sold, but the $435 price tag brought me to a screeching halt. As eye-catching as it was, could any mask really be worth that amount of money? more

After about 45 days, I noticed how the texture of my skin completely changed from bumpy to very smooth. [links]
To learn more about the science behind this product, I asked Dr. Gross how LED light therapy really works: “Light therapy works on the skin like other topical ingredients. Just like vitamin C, your skin cells have receptors for LED. The light enters the skin cell and connects to a unique LED receptor—this is different from receptors for topical ingredients."
